February 20th, 2010  Congrats! ..to our newest Gear 6 Performance owner, Gary who resides in Utah.. and has already had some good seat time in his new MKIII SPO 2972.  This was a special order roller direct from the factory which meant some serious anxious waiting was in store while it crossed the ocean on its way to our shop. It was a pleasure to work with Gary and we look forward to hearing about all his car experiences.

Below are images prior to loading and transporting to Utah.. note those awesome 17" Kumho tires (dealer license for test driving). We understand during a gas station stop the new owner was approached by a professional photographer who took a 100 plus photos of his car!  Can you say WhoooHooo!

Looking Good.. over the past weekend, new owner.. Gary from Utah, got a chance to see his new Superformance MKIII SPO2972 in person. He visited our shop and spent some time with Wayne going over all the details about the roller and finalizing build out options, which will be begin in the coming days, just the way he wants it. 

It was such a pleasure to meet him and we can't wait to deliver his car when its finished. BTW, we think he looks pretty good sitting in the car, even if its still on the lift without an engine.  LOL!  It won't be long now!

01.26.10 - The Roush 402 engine for Gary's MKIII arrived today.. Sweet!

Congrats to our newest MKIII owner, Henry!

January 8th, 2010 - Images prior to transporting this new Superformance MKIII SPO 2922 (Royal Blue w/ White) to its new owner in snowy Montana.. a car guy who has a great appreciation for serious horse power. We're keeping our fingers crossed you get an early spring.. and yes, delivering the car with snow on the ground was challenging & fun. LOL!

When you do get the opportunity, enjoy the ride. WhoooHooo!

This build out features a rare authentic 427 FE side oiler with cast iron medium riser heads, dual four carburetors - mounted backwards, Comp roller hydraulic cam, MSD ignition, Quick Time bell housing, McLeod clutch, TKO 600 road race transmission.

By the way, the block and heads are "NOS" (new old stock) that were found unused and the block is standard bore. Not many of these around any more!

Congrats to our newest MKIII owner, Alan!

December 17th, 2009 - Images from our latest trip to Irvine, picking up a MKIII roller, for one of our customers (Alan), that had just arrived from the factory.. Sunset Red/Titanium.  Due to bad weather conditions, including dense fog, our typical 15-16 hr trip took us 19 hrs and right in time for LA 5:00 o'clock traffic too, fun. So the pics are poor due to the dark conditions there when loading it in our trailer.

Our return trip was also hampered by dense fog in the mountain passes particularly.. we made it back safely. Once the roller was back in the shop, we did all the prep work (remove from skids, mount tires & wheels, balance tires, install sway bars, install mirrors, etc) before loading it up once again, for a short transport to Oregon, where the new owner was anxiously waiting for his Christmas present. Alan will be doing the buildout himself.. we can't wait to see the finished product.  Thanks Alan & best of luck with your project!

We've been keeping busy in the shop with various jobs.. (i.e.), the black SPF MKIII (#851) had its big block FE de-tuned; converting the race gas engine to pump gas; Wayne reinstalled the engine & drive-train; then it was shipped back to the owner..

Check out the before & after images of the SPF MKIII that suffered significant damage after the safety wire broke loose, causing the wheel to go thru the front fender.
