John Craft: Torino Race Car
Bobby Allison Race Car

This is one of those “What WERE You Working On John Craft? We previously have shown you in process restoration photos of John Craft’s most recent project the 1968 Ford Fairlane owned by Bondy Long and driven by Bobby Allison. This historical car has progressed from project to completion. Katrina and I met up with John and his wife this past spring at an AACA show in Melbourne FL.

For those of you who may not know John, he is a world class expert on vintage NASCAR Racing with a special affinity for Holman and Moody cars. This project is no clone. It was hand crafted back to life with dedication, skill and knowledge. John is walking expert on these cars and was also a vital part of the original creation of the first Cyclone Spoiler Talladega Registry.



At the show the car easily earned its first AACA award of a First Junior and only a week later it was off to the Amelia Island Concours.









So glad I found your site! I just bought a 69 Torino and want to make a street legal #17 David Pearson tribute car. Are there decals for the front fenders I can pjurcjase? Is there a replica -type (or real) rear spoiler that I could purchase? I plan on having the car wrapped blue and gold, then placing the decals on the car. Any help would greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!
