As a young guy (still a kid) one of my mentors, way before I knew what the word meant, built up a ‘Bullet Bird’. 429ci and many custom touches to the body and interior.

When this car was completed it still wowed me every time I saw it around town… and I didn’t yearn to own one of these big birds, just appreciated the build and the builder.
