Lonny, always interested in mustangs, began restoration on his 1970 Mach 1.  Jason, following in his brother’s footsteps, began work on his 1969 Mach 1.  These brothers then showed the restored mustangs together, placing first and second at most shows.  Their success led to the opening of “Gateway Classic Mustang” (GCM).

Through many years of hard work and an excellent reputation for quality, several gcm restorations have been featured in various magazines.  GCM landed a deal to build the “Red Rocker”, a 1967 mustang fastback for Sammy Hagar.  The build was featured on an episode of Hot Rod TV.  This led to 3 magazine covers and several feature articles.

Soon to follow was the restoration of Michael Anthony’s 1969 Shelby convertible, which also aired on Hot Rod TV.

GCMs latest effort was completion of a Steve McQueen Signature Mustang.  This 1968 mustang fastback was built for Chad Mcqueen, son of Steve McQueen who starred in the 1968 movie “Bullitt”.  The three hour mini series for this build is scheduled to air on the D.I.Y. network in early 2009.
