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<\/span>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Hot Rod Magazine picked up our story, found the buyer, and has a great article written by Brian Lohnes.<\/p>\n

Crede Young said all he wanted was the engine and took a gamble.<\/p>\n

Here are the facts as reported by Hot Rod Magazine<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

– Crede Young from Texas won the Copart bid at $13,500. He was prepared to bid up to $25,000.<\/p>\n

– He believes the All Aluminum Ford motor is good. It was built by Bennett Racing is good.<\/p>\n

– Transmission and Rear-end dusty but still good<\/p>\n

– The car was originally built for Ultra Street<\/p>\n

– He was told the car was on a rack during the fire, so not directly in the fire<\/p>\n

Good luck to Crede Young on restoring the pieces of what some has considered “junk.” This is an interesting story that has drawn attention across the nation.<\/p>\n
