Not sure exactly what it is and based on a TA. I recently ran across this in a very old and run down garage. Anyone know exactly what kind of custom it is. Owner states it was built for Kenwood stereo company.

I like it, wouldn't mind owning that at all. Wonder how it would clean up

There is more to that car than first meets the eye. The hatch was an aftermarket item that was produced in limited numbers. The door handles have been shaved. The hood was very 80ish, and it appears that both the front and rear wheel openings have been made wider (fenders and 1/4s kinda puffed out IMSA style). Someone invested some time and money in that car. It's a shame it has biodegraded to the state that it is in now. I went to the Indy 500 many, many years, and PPG had a traveling pace car group that had cars done in this fashion. It would be cool to know the whereabouts of some of those cars.

It was likely no more than what he claimed as a custom car build for Kenwood. There were a few complete custom wide bodies built in that era so I was not sure.

Sitting for over a decade in my friends garage. Still wearing the paint I applied back around 1988. We installed the tri power on the worked 455 at the same time. 4 speed car with 4.30 gears.

My latest find. Early 1965 mustang convertible, has many 64 1/2 features. Off the road since 1982, restoration was started and new rails, rockers, torque boxes and floor pans installed. 6 cylinder, auto, original red/red car. And yes... I bought it.
