Passport Transport brings 1953 Buick Wildcat I to Springfield MO
Thank you Ray for preserving these iconic cars of the past/future.
i did that top, while working at C&C VERY LATE 90S. That was originally Purple. Top retractable top is a Jeep Wangener tail gate window motor.
Needs commentary- great cars, but what is the history?
amazing video 👍👍
What's the history of this great car ??
Awesome lets go for a ride !!!
Does Joe Bortz still have the, I believe it was a Pontiac Banshee? In my humble opinion probably the sexiest car design DeLorean ever came up with. The Banshee, had it gone into production, would have definitely killed the Corvette or at least had been a huge competitor.
Yes
That 'beak on the Valkyrie looks like a 'cowcatcher' (pilot) on an old fashion steam locomotive from the Western movies. It ruins what is basically a beautiful looking car.
So bada**
Great looking car, even better music.
My favorite Moto Guzzi and favorite Year mod. .
Thank you for sharing. 🚙
Great cars! wish there was music or something!
Badass Awesome !
Are you going to restore the 4dr LaSalle? Are the both running and driving concepts or just rollers?
Restoring the 4-door has been discussed. The roadster is drivable and there are videos where you can see it driving down the road. Debbie
@BortzCars Thankyou! Do you know if the 1970 Ford Mustang Milano Concept Car still exists?
another mentally ill car hoarder.
That was a Lincoln with a straight 8
I just 3D printed a model of this car……building it right now. ✌🏾✌🏾
WOWWWWWW 😍😍😍😍😍
Pimpmobile😅
I remember when that car was parked in the showroom of Backus Motors, the local Ford Dealer. This was back in the mid to late 70s
Exner excellence! What a fantastic, fintastic car! I love it!
amazing!!!!!
Badass rides
There is nothing like the mechanical dance of a hard top convertible.
That is a wonderful car in need of much restoration - worthy as it's a wonderful design from one of the great periods of design and engineering. A true treasure find !
Amazing that it still exists! The world is a better place thanks to Joe Bortz.
Awesome!!!
Thid car is BEAUTIFUL!!!!.
Rocky theme? 😁
It's kinda cool looking, especially with those suicide doors! But I'm a little iffy about where the headlights were positioned, and apparently so was the brass at GM. Question though... Is that the correct steering wheel that was on it as original? It's been a while, so I can't remember what video it was on, or whose channel, but I remember seeing some kind of GM concept (and I'm pretty sure it was a full size car, but definitely a Chevrolet) that had this weird looking steering wheel with only two spokes, and these big, round pod like at each end, just like those two gauges on the instrument panel. There would have probably been some kind of short stem in the middle, with a disc the same size as the pod, which would have ridden on the stem via some type of bearing assembly which would have allowed only the disc to spin. It looked like it would have been easy to get the hang of it, being able to drive with both hands on the wheel. I don't think that steering assembly ever made it into production, and I also don't think there are any surviving today, but I'm sure someone will chime in and say yes there were/are to both statements. There's something weird about it from certain angles that resemble or give off an almost Corvair-like vibe, only five years earlier.
BEAUTIFUL CAR...GORGEOUS..LOVE THE COLOR
Those were gorgeous. I think the 1960 and 1964 could have been real production cars. The other 2 were not practical, but had beautiful styling..
Put a Corvair engine in the back and it'd make a good looking Corvair.
I miss Mercury.
🔥
Where do I sign please?...truly genius in most categories... I'm ready to sign now! True Love...a dream.
Very interesting! Car in amazingly restorable condition after being so carelessly stored for 30+ years. Can’t wait to see the final full restoration!
Very interesting genes car

Imagine a 389 tri power under the hood...nothing would touch it.even the 326 was stout.

Worlds first spinner wheels sick
Excellent prototype for the 1967 Firebird and 1968 Corvette.
I wanna know what the horn sounds like
Mr. Bortz, I have been following your career with classic concept cars for many years. Whatever happened to the 1956 Pontiac Club de Mer sports concept car?
Thanks for the nice comments. You can check out more videos on our Bortz Auto Collection website. Best regards, Joe Bortz
