In honor of Todd's threads about cars, both the coolest one we've ever owned, how many we have owned in our lifetime, and what are we getting our cars for valentine's day, as well as Todd taking only a few days after I asked him if he could he could put together an index of all of his articles, reviews, how-tos, etc., I would like to ask each and every one of you, what's the coolest car you have ever detailed?

Multiple entires are encouraged as are pictures! Let's see some detail eye candy!

So, without further adieu, let's see 'em! :drool:

1962 Ferrari 250 GTO
1961 Ferrari 250 California
McLaren M6GT
original paint, 100% original 427 Cobra
Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe
Bugatti Type 57


I really don't know... This list could get VERY long, I have worked on a lot of 1-of-1 cars... but my favorite of all time was an original paint Lamborghini Miura!

I'm sure that was nerve racking but so satisfying at the end.

Sadly my list is mostly modern toys, I would love to do more of classics then I can't remember half the cars I do. I've always done a lot of project/modified cars per say.
 
1972 Datsun Skyliner Hakosuka 2000GTR Coupe in Japan, 1987 Corvette in South Korea ( 10 miles south of the DMZ ), 1993 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo Far East Edition in Saudi Arabia for a member of the Royal family, 1951 Austin Healey and many more. P.S. all my cars also.

That may or may not have been the backhanded goal of this thread :D Basically, just wanting to see all the super badass cars that you have had the pleasure of making even more beautiful

I would have to say, without a doubt, the Miura is my favorite Lamborghini :drool: To work on a 100% original one is just like icing on the cake, in my opinion. A few years ago they released a new "Miura" concept that kept all the classic body lines (not the sharp lines of today's Lamborghini's) but had a monster of a V12, rather than the little V12 that was in the original Miura. I understand that the sharp lines are more "sporty" and the flowing lines of the Miura is more like a Grand Touring (GT) car that maybe they think Ferrari or Maserati have a hold on (at least for the pasta cars), but I think that was their most beautiful one.

And to think, before that (at least to my knowledge), all their experience was building tractors... :rockon
 
A couple of you are showing off. Lol. I did a 1976 Cadilac Eldorado. Like a bicentennail addition. Convertable. Had 300 miles on it. Also detailed The lead singer's for Forigner Harley back in the 90's.

I remember the Miura concept, it was AMAZING!!!
 
2006 Saleen Extreme Lizstick Red. 1 of 1 with glass roof and options. It is a personal friends car I detailed for our big local car show. It won first place in its class. He also let me drive it to the car show which I thoroughly enjoyed!
