    Aloha..

    A few of you have asked to see some fotos of my 59 GT Carrera Speedster. I will risk offending some members and am posting a few shots of "Fred", Bob Kirby's racer from the 60"s to the 80's. The most raced Speedster in the USA. I'll post more if asked....

    Mahalo from Maui

    Amazing. If the on-the-lawn pic was your car at Dana Point last year, I saw it.

    Did Nick at European Collectibles do the restoration?

    I've never driven a four cam -- currently having my pushrod Speedster restored. Interestingly it came with corduroy inserts in the seats as yours did, and I've decided to have them redone as per factory.

    Post more. (OK, I'm asking!)

    Great looking work, the engine alone is drool-worthy.
    I've only seen a 4-cam motor once in person...in a 550 spyder at the local Reston, VA 356 meet a few years back.

    Talk about a fun car to travel around Maui in, ahh 4-cam speedster going up Haleakalā!!!!

    Very nicely done, and probably the coolest car ever made.

    Looks like you bought a new steering wheel - Nardi? The original's probably long gone.
