MULE
 
I was wondering if anyone has the magazine buildup of "THE MULE" Charley's silver Camaro. I have the buildup of "THE THRASHER" and found it very interesting reading. If so, could you scan and post it? P.S. One of my cars I am doing was originally the Cortez Silver and I was going to do a color change until I saw a picture of the Mule in a current magazine. Talk about a drop dead gorgeous color on a drop dead gorgeous car.

Silbersea? I did a search before I posted and printed some photos and they looked almost if they had a hint of green but this photo doesnt look that way. WOW. Love it!

Just my opinion . . . but I would put a tall deck spoiler on that mule . . . If you need one, I have a white one for you . . . [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Charley, that car is awesome! What kind of power is this one putting out, and from the looks of the suspension work I can almost bet that it will go 1g+ on the skid pad! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

The Mule is an unreal piece. Steilow is kind of a 1st gen master as I'm sure Charlie can attest. I'm pretty excited to see what he does with the Malibu that Charlie tracked down for him.

With the Kinsler injected 406 it was making 524 hp detuned from about 610..... Wait and see what the Future holds.... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: MULE
 
I just picked up the Feb Chevy High Performance and it has a Calendar that has the Mule and also has Jim Parks' 2002 ZL1 with Dennis Barker in it doing a burnout..Cool.

Re: MULE
 
Charlie, did the MULE used to be painted Red?? I was watching a tape of a bunch of stuff I'd taped on and off of Television a while back earlier tonight and there was an old episode of Popular Hotrodding TV that had your 69 Camaro on it and from the interior shots it seems to be the same car. 427 SB. 6spd Viper trans.. Was this the MULE in a previous life? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: MULE
 
What kind of Camaro did the Mule originally start life as? Whatever it was, I bet its damn happy to have fallen into you hands Charley!

The red car you saw is another one I have called the Thrasher. Built by the same Guy. We did a segment on Popular Hotrodding TV at Thunderhill race track with it. Both cars started out as plain Camaros.

Re: MULE
 
I think your favorite option is the Endura bumper. You have one on the ZL-1, MULE, Thrasher, and I am sure a whole host of other Camaros too.

Charlie... Off topic but it looks like your old Impala is now at World Wide Muscle Cars.

Re: MULE
 
Charlie does Mark Stielow build those cars for you specifically or do you just happen to purchase many of his projects? He sure does create some amazing cars.

Charley Lillard 12-20-2003 08:24 PM

Re: MULE
 
Yes the Impala is now at Worldwide.
The Thrasher actually has a painted steel bumper. Mark and I have become good Friends and he knows how much I like his cars so he usually offers them to me. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

aah. Thats it. Sounded pretty mean. Looks like it can handle a sharp turn too. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: MULE
 
Charley, are these the same guys that did ZL-1 pro-touring car? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: MULE
 
I think Charley's friend/neighbor Jody built the Pro-Touring yellow '69 ZL1 clone

Re: MULE
 
Yes. Jody Bernard did the ZL1 Clone car. It is still here if somebody needs it.
