""Between the 1965 Plymouth Barracuda in the photos in December 2009 and who now stands in Ulrich Wöckeners garage, are worlds apart. Or: Many, many hours arbeit.de Neudorf-Dorfer Plate (45) has bought a classic car in a pitiful state in Koblenz - today is the almost 50 year old car is a piece of jewelry.

What was the motivation?

By 2009 Wöckener had driven active sports, then stopped and looked for a new hobby. The proposal not to buy a new Ford Mustang, but a vintage car to restore and then came to one of the vintage cars to crazy dude, but also from his wife. She wanted no Wöckener gets bored. And that he did not.

What to do?

It was not until he had put the wall of his garage so that the sheet piles could fit on four wheels. And then he let rip. Up on the sill at the Plymouth was nothing like it should be. And unscrewed so welded and rigged the trained baker for 20 months every day for three to four hours, the end of August before the first engine run also 36 hours on three consecutive days. When the engine finally for the first time - and four hours later than planned - roared, the neighbors came to congratulate him out of their homes.

But then the transmission went limp. It Wöckener Gareth Evans and his buddy screws yet, before the coach can have in a few days of his second batch run.

Service:
