“CNVCT”<br />

Car Owner: Richard & Ellie Sanchez<br />

Car: 1965 Chevy Impala<br />

Models: Megan Julian<br />

Car Name: “CNVCT”<br />

This photoshoot was done at a murial on Truman Rd North of HWY I-70. We believed<br />

the colors of the murial would bring out the black paint job of his car.<br />

Richard Sanchez is the proud owner of this gorgeous 1965 Chevy Impala. He has<br />

previously owned every production year of the Chevy Impala, other than 1965 until now.<br />

He was browsing the internet looking for a car and came across a 1964 model that was<br />

in Kentucky. Richard made arrangements for his wife Ellie and his brother Milo to go<br />

and check the car out. The two of them drove 11 hours to Kentucky and arrived at their<br />

destination at around 11:30pm. Milo started the Impala and decided that the car was<br />

not worth what the owner was asking for it, so the two of them left. They could see and<br />

hear that there were too many problems with the car and could tell that the photos had<br />

been editied so the car would sell. Richard’s brother Milo was determined to arrive back<br />

in Kansas City with a car for his brother. They searched for a car online as they were<br />

traveling back towards home. As they were approaching the St Louis area they found<br />

one that was 3 hours North into Illinois. Ellie contacted the seller of this 1965 Impala and<br />

negotiated the price before they made the trip near Chicago, to which the seller agreed.<br />

The previous owner built the Impala for his daughter and the car ended up being too<br />

much for her to handle. Richard’s brother Milo drove the car around the block a few<br />

times before deciding on driving the car from near the Chicago area back to Kansas<br />

City in March of 2020. After the completion of the motor swap and other modifications<br />

that were done within his first year of ownership of this gorgeous 65 Impala, Richard<br />

started showing the car at the begining of the car show season of 2021.<br />

Richard shared with me that the love of cars that he and his brother Milo have, came<br />

from their Father. They lost their Father in Aug of 2020 due to covid.<br />

(R.I.P. Richard Santana Sanchez - Love always!)<br />

“GINGER”<br />

Car Owner: Charles Titsworth<br />

Car: 1977 Plymouth Volare Road Runner<br />

Car name: “GINGER”<br />

Model: Jaimie Diaz<br />

This photshoot was done at LeBenite Park off of HWY 291 in Sugar Creek, MO.<br />

The beautiful rolling river and greenery made for the perfect backdrop to shoot this<br />

spectacular car.<br />

Charles Titsworth is the very proud owner of this rare 1977 Plymouth Volare Road<br />

Runner. He purchased the car in 1989 from its original owner in Claycomo Missouri.<br />

Charles drove this car for about <strong>10</strong> years as a daily driver before deciding to do some<br />

of work on it. At that time the color was Spit Fire Orange and it had some bodywork<br />

done to it. In 2002 he decided to start the full restoration of his Volare Road Runner. He<br />

stored it in his garage, put it on jack stands and started cutting out the rusted panels as<br />

well as fabrications and other body work that the car needed. Charles worked on the<br />

restoration of his car for about 15 years. He explained to me on how hard it was for him<br />

to find the parts needed for the restoration. “You pretty much have to destroy one of the<br />

cars to restore a different one” he said. Charles was only able to work on the restoration<br />

on weekends since his primary job required him to travel out of town during the week.<br />

Charles was the one who completed the full restoration. Which included all of the body<br />

work, paint, graphics package, trim, engine, transmission and brakes. As well as restoration<br />

of the spoiler, fender flairs and many of the other parts of the car. Charles looked<br />

for <strong>10</strong> years for replacements parts for the T-tops and 3 years for the grill. He wanted<br />

everything to be original on his car. The interior was done by George Lafall at Independence<br />

Classics. They did the door panels as well as the front and rear seats. This specific<br />

Road Runner package that Charles has restored was only available in the years of 1976<br />

and 1977. He has been showing his 1977 Plymouth Volare Road Runner since 2017 and as<br />

recieved about 35 different awards.<br />

“KRAKEN”<br />

Car Owner: Bob Manson<br />

Car: 1969 Camaro RS<br />

Models: Endia Sears<br />

Car Name: “KRAKEN”<br />

This photoshoot was done at one of the ponds on Tomahawk Parkway in Leawood<br />

Kansas, a very beautiful area for a shoot.<br />

Bob Manson is the proud owner of this Bad Ass 1969 Camaro RS. He has always<br />

wanted this year of Camaro since he graduated from high school. Bob was browsing the<br />

internet and came across it on EBAY back in 2000. The car was purchased from Waterlou<br />

Iowa. The steering gear box was worn out so Bob pulled a trailer to pick it up and<br />

brought it back to Kansas. He fixed the gear box and drove it around for about 3 months<br />

before he realized that the lug nuts weren’t all the way tight due to the spacers that<br />

were giving clearance for the rotors. Bob has done modifications to this Camaro a total<br />

of three times. First and formost for the past 20 years the color of this car used to be<br />

yellow until he had it painted red during the cars last restoration in 2019. The first time<br />

he had some work done to the car was when the clutch went out. To make matters<br />

worse he also found out that the frame was bent. So he bought a new sub frame and<br />

had it powder coated and changed the motor to an LS3 with a 4L80E transmission. Then<br />

in 2012 he found out the floor boards were rusted out when he had a new rearend installed<br />

and mini tubs done so that 335 tires could fit. While they were replacing the floor<br />

pans and the trunk, Bob also had a stage3 ride tech suspension installed. The third and<br />

final modification was a complete customization of the Camaro RS starting in December<br />

of 2019 which was completed in June of 2021 to the car you see in the pictures. So many<br />

customizations and modifications were done to make this one BAD ASS Camaro!<br />

Bob Manson has won several Best of Shows and Best of Class awards, along with<br />

peoples choice and many others. This Camaro is not a trailer car.<br />

“SHO NUF”<br />

Car Owner: Clint Sletten<br />

Car: 1973 Plymouth Road Runner<br />

Car name: “SHO NUF”<br />

Model: TyAnne Schulte<br />

This photoshoot was done at Mano’s Wine at 1919 Cherry in the crossroads of Kansas<br />

City MO. The colorful wall has many murials of art that highlight the whole building.<br />

Clint Sletten is the proud owner of this bad ass 1973 Plymouth Road Runner. He purchased<br />

the car when he was 16 years old. When he bought it the color was root beer<br />

with metallic flake. Clint drove it for awhile and was enjoying the thought that this Road<br />

Runner was his. He decided to do some things to the car to improve its performance. He<br />

quickly learned that he was not as mechanically inclined as he thought at that time, so<br />

the car ended up sitting for awhile. Finally in 2003, Clint decided to get started on the<br />

restoration of the car. The restoration process took about 2 years to do the body work,<br />

paint and to rebuild the engine. The engine was built to 30 over 440 with 2 holleys. Clint<br />

took the car straight to the track when the rebuild was done. The Road Runner was running<br />

as an 11 second car in 2005. He ended up racing the car for about 5 years at the<br />

Cardova Dragway in Cordova Illinois.<br />

As all of us know things happen in life that our passions have to be set aside for<br />

awhile, so the car sat once again from 20<strong>10</strong> to about 2015. Until a time came when his<br />

son encouraged him to resurrect the Road Runner once again! The second restoration<br />

of the car went through 5 years of trial and error. With Clint having the love for racing<br />

and knowing he wanted to be on the track, the car went through a few transmissions<br />

and a rear end. He ended up completing the car in 2020, with everything new from front<br />

to back!<br />

“THE TYRANT”<br />

Car Owner: Shane Peterson<br />

Car: 1985 Monte Carlo<br />

Car name: “THE TYRANT”<br />

This photoshoot was done at the murial wall of The Escape Room next to Fox Equipment<br />

in the crossroads of Kansas City. The expression of the characters on the wall<br />

sums up the reaction when Shane starts his Monte up!<br />

Shane Peterson is the proud owner of this” hella nice” 1985 Monte Carlo. He has always<br />

owned custom cars with a lot of power, mostly imports. He has a love for cars and<br />

going fast. Shane was having problems with the import that he owned for three years.<br />

He decided to part out the import, then went online looking for a new car to build. Back<br />

in 2018 while browsing, he came across this 1985 Monte Carlo. Shane has always liked<br />

the G body style cars. Shane contacted the owner, then went on a road trip with his<br />

wife and kids to Platte City Missouri to check the car out. He fell in love with the car! The<br />

Monte was just like the owner said it was, so he bought it on the spot. Shane drove the<br />

car back to Kansas City to enjoy the drive. When he arrived back home, he decided to<br />

take it out and have a little fun. Shane ended up blowing the rear end out of the Monte<br />

Carlo. He was so frustrated because he finally got a G body style like he always wanted.<br />

He put it in the shop and started the fabrication process. Shane had the interior<br />

removed and the engine swapped out. His Monte Carlo lived in the shop for the last 3<br />

years until the car was ready in the summer of 2021.<br />

Shane Peterson is very family oriented! He really enjoys spending time with his wife<br />

and kids, whether it is hanging out at home or at the track!<br />
