THE ROAD AHEAD
CEO Craig Jackson, the build of a 1967 Shelby GT500 is
sure to send ripples through the hot-rodding world. Resto-
Modded in a previous life, the custom Shelby was brought
in for repairs, but plans quickly changed– and changed
for the better. The GT500 is being rebuilt into the ultimate
Shelby GT500 Resto-Mod, a car that will push the limits of
technology and show off the engineering prowess on hand
at Barrett-Jackson Builds. Though still in its early stages, the
build of this Shelby will be chronicled, documented and
shared on Barrett-Jackson’s popular media channels.
Also on the horizon is the ultimate Resto-Mod Camaro
for the ultimate in road-going adventures – that’s how it
was billed and that’s how it will be built. Starting off as a
fully licensed 1969 Chevy Camaro body from Dynacorn,
the goal of this build – which is sponsored by eBay Motors
and Craftsman – is to create the perfect Grand Touring
Resto-Mod, one that shows the inherent customizability of
what happens when you build a car from the ground up.
