Gary Ormsby's car looks really ahead of it's time, now it's a big deal just to put a canopy on a car.

this car has a shit ton of history, glen tinsley was a mechanic at mcree ford at the time (my parents have been buying vehicles from them going on 20 years now) car got sold after he lost those major sponsors, gene deputy bought it and ran his twin turbo sbf in it for years kicking ass, not sure what happened to it after gene used it up. Glen is still heavy in the local mustang scene here running a group of heavy modded late model stangs under the Bayway Lincoln banner

That Olds Calais is one reason why Pro Street should never die. How many rust free versions are like that in the dry states for damn near free, just waiting to be turned into a clone of that (minus the scoop perhaps).

I considered doing one a few years ago but Canadian winters have returned most of those cars back to mother nature already
