Insideman's Garage : Ferrari 430 Scuderia, '68 GT500KR, LR Disco, EX Supercharged M3

Taronish_E · 11th September 2020, 13:40

Back in the late 80s, my Dad visited a garage somewhere in the Western suburbs to buy our first family car. There, he happened to see a Mustang fastback awaiting restoration with a new owner. But, practicality trumped his dreams and he bought a Nissan Sunny instead.

For decades since, Dad has loved the Mustang and at the risk of continuing

, he always wanted to ride along in one.

Cue the kindness of Insideman, who owns this gorgeous 67 Shelby Mustang GT500CR by Classic Recreations. A lot can be said about this car, including its provenance, how it sounds and performs. But, on a sunny weekday afternoon, none of that mattered as I got to tick something off Dad's bucket list - driving around in a Mustang in SoBo.

A massive thank you to Insideman & his good friend CF for hosting me and my Dad so graciously. I am truly blessed to have such friends in my life.

This thread needs an update badly, some of the new additions are what dreams are made of for jdm fans!

Is it just the image or am I seeing a smoking Skyline?

He apparently has added the tercel (coupe/hatchback) a Pajero and some more, besides the VW golf (convertible) which was under repairs for a while at 4s in Mumbai.

More info on the skyline posted on STI fb page. Looks to be smoking a bit in this as well!

The car is fresh out of a ground up restoration with a new motor. Its perhaps the engine settling in.

Big big update on the garage regarding JDM vehicles. Here’s some of the highlights:

Acura NSX (1 of 3 in the country and the only V6 one AFAIK)
Nissan 300ZX (former Horsepower Cartel fame)
Toyota Supra
Nissan R33 GT-R
Mitsubishi Pajero 2 door
Nissan Patrol

The smoke from the GT-R is because the new RB engine is settling in alongside the ECU, the more mileage she does the better it’ll get and knowing our man, she will do some good mileage!

The R33 build is now complete, sharing a photo sent by Insideman himself. Will try to share a few more updates in due course! Enjoy this view until then:

What's the other engine apart from the V6?

Hey! My bad, what I meant was the only Manual transmission + six cylinder NSX in the country.

Is that a GT-R complete with ATTESA, HICAS etc? That 400R kit is looking pretty good.
