A few weeks ago, DragCoverage covered the story of a Mustang that went to Copart Auction after fire and the Insurance company paid the owner a claim. The car belonged to Big 3 Racing who has been in business for 18 years when the fire occurred.
A racer from Texas by the name of Crede Young won the bid at $13,500 and he says he believes there’s at least $50,000 worth of salvageable parts.
Fortunately, Hot Rod Magazine picked up our story, found the buyer, and has a great article written by Brian Lohnes.
Crede Young said all he wanted was the engine and took a gamble.
