During the late \u201950s and early \u201960s American racers were doing battle in a wide variety of homebuilt racecars and Specials. Taking production car engines and chassis and creating their own unique take on a competition car. They may have been quick, but many had a look only a mother (their creator) could love. This wasn\u2019t the case with a car built by John Sabel.<\/p>\n

Sabel was from the San Francisco Bay Area and like his friends, and many others, he fell under the spell of the automobile. Saving his money from odd jobs he finally scraped enough together to buy himself a Ford Model A. That car and successive others were his means of transportation. Sabel eventually picked up a hot-rodded \u201929 coupe that was owned by Joe Huffaker and became, dare I say it, \u201cfast friends.\u201d They both became members of the Marin Coupe and Roadster Club.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
