Look under Kuwait 2012 More pics to come

Some truly amazing cars. The people are VERY generous and the hospitality is second to none! These people have the Muscle Car Disease!

I was blessed to win #1 Muscle Car two years in a row!

 

WOW congrats, did you win a tanker of oil?

 

Congrats on the win! Was the show in Kuwait City? At work, we send a lot of stuff there.

 

Just goes to show you how much these cars are admired around the globe

 

ok so which one are you in the pics

That shot of the 442 in the trailer, the bu,per is blinding it is chromed so well

Nice pics of the details, looks like the SSIIs have very little metallic in them almost pure grey?

 

skryla: We're Not Worthy! We're Not Worthy!

Great pics! I bet you have lot's of interesting stories about your time in Kuwait!

 

Congrats. I was watching Chasing Classic Cars with Wayne Carini last night and he took a car to Kuwait and won third place. Then in another episode he sold several cars for some guy. One was a 1969 Hurst Olds. The guy had spent big bucks having the car restored. He took the car to the Gooding Auction and it brought $85,000. The interesting part was that not one time did he mention the car was a Hurst Olds. He just referred to it as a 442. The auctioneer did the same thing. Could he be that ignorant of a Hurst Olds or was there some reason he could not mention it on TV. I mean we are talking the Holy Grail of muscle cars.

 

that was mentioned in a different thread - they even said it had a W30 motor.

I see the two 442s are just gorgeous at that show both have the W30 side stripes, they look really nice. I like the blue one too

 

Wow, great pictures. How many cars were there at the show? Just out of curiosity, how did you find out about the show and what does it cost to send your car over there and back?

 

Awesome pictures and some awesome cars. cheerio

 

Almost as good. They picked up the entire tab.

 

Yes i was in Kuwait City - these people have the Muscle Car disease as bad as us!

 

I was approached last year thru the brother of a neighbor. I brought my 1972 chevelle SS454 Convertible and took 1st place as well. This year was much more competitive. There were 3 six figure restorations in the show. I built mine in my garage over the past 8 months.

I think the round trip for the car alone was around $18k

 

Great pics, and congrats!

 

This has got to be great publicity for your business of restoring muscle cars.

I see you won last year as well with your 72 Chevelle SS. That's great.
I wonder how someone gets invited to something like this ??

I'm guessing you have a global business contact list ??
Very admirable accomplishment

Kuwait is a very very rich oil $$$ country, and one of the reasons the US was so quick to defend them.

 

(Is that a red pair of panties next to the car in pic 72???) Nice.
Amazing.......Congrats! and thanks for the pics. I never had any desire to go there....until now!

 

First and foremost, it is unfortunate that the Middle East gets such a bad rap because of such a small group (extremeists) .

The people of Kuwait could not have been nicer or more welcoming. They are truly generous hosts. I must admit that at first I was aprehensive about going in 2011, but I was pleasantly surprised. The whole culture is based around cars! HH Shiekh Nassar has over 2,000 cars in his collection. There are no bars or clubs as liquor is not legal in the country. Guys meet girls the same way I did as kid.....cruise the boulevard! Very cool culture.

As for my business, I do not restore cars professionally. I just have the car guy disease. I restored the car in my home's 2 car garage. Pics at link below.

DreamWorks Musle Cars, represents buyers in finding vehicles that are rare and not typically available for sale via traditional means (internet, newspaper, ebay). Many times, the cars I find are not activley for sale. I will then represent the buyer in the transaction. Pics will go back and forth. If there is a further interest, we will get a professional appraisal. If there is a deal to be made, depending on geographics, I will take my trailer, do one last inspection on the vehicle, hand over the check and take the title and vehicle right on the spot. If the vehicle needs restoration, I will manage the project with the restoration facility. Once complete, I will coordinate the trip to the client's doorstep.

 

Did you sell your car while it was over there? I see you're looking for a W30 now.

 

Not sold but I am considering selling my 72 Chevelle SS454 Convertible (one of 70 est. and one of 26 left), last year's Concours winner. I'm going for my AACA Senior Grand National in June; it was invited to attend the Concours d'Elegance of America - St John's in July; and in November MCACN it will be in the "W" code display. After that, the car has won all awards that I wanted to win.

Time to start fresh.

The 72 442 Convertible in the pic was built to drive!
