New Zealand Historic Muscle Cars Under HRC

[John McKechnie]

Gerald- I have been in the car restoration business for 40 plus years. In that time I have come across people who considered themselves to be Methusela -life span of 969 years. Plenty of time to get all projects done. There was GC who had 86 Packards-all were going to be completed, and KS who spent 27 years restoring his 1930 Dodge and refused to take the car out on the road till he was able to replicate the Carless Day sticker .
I would also venture to say that while men own the cars the cars will sit in garages until for one important reason it is to be moved. Either to the track or someone elses workshop.
There is only one reason- DESIRE.
Lack of this sense of direction in life sees not only these cars sit, but also leaving telling other people what should be done before they come out again.
Heaven would be a very crowded place if you could take all your toys with you.
Those who have a the desire to race their cars this weekend will be at the Ice Breaker as first class spectators- behind the wheel.
