Hot Rods T Touring built in 1963 and still running strong.

I have wanted to post photo's of this car for a while and finally got the opportunity to get photo's of it today.

My friend and fellow V8 club member,John Foster built this car in 1963 at the age of 17 years old and is basically a rolling time capsule.

Imagine owning a car like this for 52 years. HRP

 

It don't take a rocket scientist to figure that the gentleman on the right is the owner,one heck of a nice guy. HRP



BTW,John also owns a killer Deuce 3 window.

 

those 2 cars are beauty , good job by the owner has a right to be proud of his work

 

NIiiceee!

 

Very nice, both of them.

 

nice cars for sure

i'm always amazed at the people that can keep a car for such a long time , i wish i had done that..

 

Damn. Your friend is 52 years bitchin'.

 

The way he is laughing I'm thinking he just nailed with some sorta remark! The coupe and the T are nice.

 

VERY nice T! Some guys just have the "eye" for getting the combination right.

 

Beautiful! What changes have been made over the years if any?

 

He had some different wheels on the front when it was in Rod Action in 1977 but I believe it has always looked like it does today. HRP

 

At least he didn't have to drive it as his "daily driver" had the deuce for that !!!

 

Au contraire mon ami, The Deuce is a recent acquisition. HRP

 

Well it aint got no windows.

is that an italmeca blower??

Nice old car, I can't imagine owning anything that long or that nice.

 

Beeno,it's a old SCOT blower. HRP

 

A few more detail photo's of the T. HRP

 

The last of them. HRP




And a final photo of Ladyhrp in the drivers seat. HRP

 

Very crafty 17 year old ! Great story , nothing like an ol' car pal n his high school ride...... Time capsule for sure! I also love the mix of wheels, about age 10 had a poster I cherished of a 57 'bird w/ a blown hemi mill running skinny cragars front & polished slots in rear, reminds me of the late 70's & early 80's look. Flux

 

Both fine cars.That T is beautiful.

 

John can come up with some zingers. HRP

 

Those are some great cars. If I built that car when I was 17, I promise you, if it was still around today, it would've been rebuilt several times. I wasn't very responsible in high school. I bet he can tell stories for days.

 

So immaculate. Thanks for posting more. Touring/phaetons are a fave' for me. That one is exceptional. More so ... being untouched. Fella' coulda' built it yesterday ... and I'd believe ya'. Got any more friends in the woodwork to shake out ?

 

I didn't have the skills or the guidance to build a car from the ground up when I was 17,I opted for a 63 1/2 Falcon Sprint. HRP

 

To be honest, when I was 17, I was doing all I could to keep my Nova on the road.

 

Nice cars, extra points for the three pedals!

 

I wondered where that car went. Lol. I saw it years ago at Englishtown. It's very cool.

You have a good memory,John is originally from Philly and now resides here in the upstate of South Carolina. HRP

 

17, Wow... how freaking cool!

Ive got the same lights... using them for tail lights oddly enough... JC Whitney Harley Accessory lights! Where are his?

 

Danny: This is surely the same car. I just saw this thread for the first time but I took this pic in the late 70's, likely Columbus @ 78. Tim

 

That is THE coolest T Touring I have ever laid eyes on! Awesome that the owner did that at 17, and still ownes it. I applaud him and his coolness!
