  John Brown's #1071 Brittany blue, 4 speed GT 350 at the 2025 IN. SAAC Fall FEST 10/18/2025
 
    This car is stellar!!
  How often are you going to have an opportunity to see one?
1) From the left front
2) from the front, note: the fuel line running
3) from the right, more fuel line
4) from the left, carb box and gas pedal linkage

Couple points of clarification:

-1071 was owned for a long time by a gentleman out of WA state whose health was declining. The car was found/bought by Jeff Yergovich as a project in the mid stages of restoration.

-I purchased the car from Jeff in the same project state a few years ago and sold it to a great friend and client who also happens to own 5R002 and a bunch of other very tasty cars.

-Jeff finished the restoration for the current owner and won an MCA Gold with the car. He did an absolutely stunning job.... Tough to beat Brittany Blue and a blower!

-recently John Brown did a wonderful job updating the car for SAAC judging and the car obtained Gold at French Lick  John did a fantastic job on the car!!!

Kind regards,

Vern: thanks for the additional information. Mr Brown did it well.

JD: learned not to stick the little Kodak into my pocket with a set of key. Broke the camera screen. Sorry, no overall photos. I'm sure somebody will post some soon enough.

All: I made sure to get the fuel line as there was a post about its routing not too long ago.

Hi 67 Fans.
Great pictures and Rod's detailed fuel line pic shows the "T" fitting to allow fuel pressure to be plumbed in. Any interior pics should show the gauge or gauges if it also has manifold pressure. Very nice looking car from all angles.

I'm surprised there was no attempt at having a correct looking battery.?

If it starts it's streetable.
Overkill is just enough.

Pictures were taken the day before the show.  A correct battery was with the car for the show.

It is my understanding that Craig Conley(Mr. Paxton) was the consultant on the Paxton and how it was installed aspect of the restoration.

There were not any additional Paxton gauges in the interior. Seems that is what you were asking.
 Interior was just like what we as are used to looking at: Mustang deluxe with the added Shelby gauges, steering wheel, rollbar and belt emblems.
  Just as nice inside as outside.
