Produced by Hot Wheels from the late ’70s to early ’80s, ‘Stagefright’ brought Jack Keef’s 1849 Concord Stagecoach hot rod to bedroom floors everywhere. TLCB debutant Tony Bovkoon has brought it back, capturing the insanity of the Hot Wheels toy (and the real car on which it was based) beautifully in Model Team form. A flip body, mid-mounted V8, and some highly dubious ‘suspension’ all feature, and there’s more to see at Tony’s ‘Stagefright’ Flickr album via the link above.
I knew Jack for awhile in his “Downey” days. He got the mold for the body from the “Silver Saddle” restaurant, that closed in Downey. He was a really nice guy & active member of “Early Times” car club. Also had a cool brother called Butch. I lost track of him after he got married & moved.
