GAS is an official sponsor of the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction

Come visit our GAS rig and see some of our latest creations PLUS bid on the SPX Mustang that GAS built which is crossing the auction block on Friday to help raise money for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.

What do you get when you take a late-model Mustang GT and infuse a bit of 1969 Boss 429 Mustang into the mix? The Galpin SPX Charity Wide Body Mustang is a good example. This looker of a car first debuted at the 2011 SEMA Show in Las Vegas this past November. In January it will cross the block at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale show.The good folks at Galpin Auto Sports, in Van Nuys, Calif., were selected by SPX Corporation to create this special one‐of‐a kind high‐performance Ford Mustang last summer. All proceeds from the sale of the car will benefit the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

“Cancer affects so many families across America and we’re very excited at the opportunity to utilize our talents to help raise money to fight this terrible disease,” said GAS President Beau Boeckmann. “We’re honored SPX chose us as the shop to build this vehicle. Once completed, this car has tremendous potential to raise a lot of money for an organization that benefits a great cause.”

1968 Boss 351 Trans Am Ranchero

In just 8 weeks, GAS and Galpin’s Classic Auto Service took a “junk yard dog” and created an awesome custom. First, the team completely dismantled the car then refurbished, rebuilt and modified each and every component of the vehicle. Powering this custom is a Barrington Engines custom BOSS 351 engine producing roughly 450 HP, backed up by an original Ford 4-speed transmission rebuilt and modified for road racing. Power is transmitted through a Currie 9-inch rear end with heavy-duty axles and 3:89 Trac-Lok. The vehicle’s suspension system incorporates a Total Control Products coil over front suspension system and Maeco Motorsports modified road racing rear suspension system. Keeping it to the ground are American Racing 17 x 9.5 427 Cobra style wheels with Nitto NT05 315 / 35 ZR 17 tires. To stop the machine, Galpin’s Classic Auto Service and GAS installed a Wilwood 4-wheel disc brake system. The interior features a custom roll cage, Scat Elite bucket seats with a 5-point racing seatbelt system, and to keep it old school, a factory original AM radio. This creation has gone from scrap yard to custom show car!

2011 Ford Explorer XXVI

Galpin Auto Sports set out to demonstrate its design and audio prowess with this exotic – yet tough – custom Explorer. It features a completely custom one-of-a-kind Matte Bruised Blue pearl paint designed by GAS and mixed by PPG. Matching matte finished headlights and taillights and custom fabricated grille complement the paint scheme. Bringing it closer to the ground, GAS lowered this Explorer with Eibach springs and sat it on 24-inch Savini Wheels with Pirelli tires. A jaw dropping complete custom interior features custom leather seats with genuine Stingray inserts. Matching leather and suede door panels complement the custom suede headliner. The insane surround sound system features 26 JL Audio speakers wrapped in LED trim which pumps out 2000 watts! To top it off, GAS installed an iPad that controls everything electronic including the 360-degree camera protecting you from the paparazzi!

2011 Lotus Evora R2R

The goal for the Evora R2R was to take a stock 2011 2+2 Lotus Evora Coupe and redesign it as a street-legal version of the Lotus Type 124 track car. To begin, the front splitter, side sill extensions and rear wing uprights on the exterior were custom machined from aluminum and powder-coated black. The door mirror caps and wing tips were also subjected to the same treatment. Be sure to look out for the wingtips that incorporate a Union Jack GAS logo. The rear horizontal wing, which incorporates the original high-level brake light, is finished from fiberglass epoxy and painted to match the Quartz Silver body. GAS added vinyl black racing stripes and door decals. Sector 111 supplied the 19″/20″ Evora Monza Wheels (direct from Italy), which are finished in a flat black paint and paired with Hankook tires. The Flowmaster exhaust system gives it a throaty growl and moves the peak horsepower closer to 300hp. For the interior, GAS added Alcantara seat inserts in a light gray color to match the Alcantara headliner. This award winning Lotus Evora has been transformed into the ultimate special edition street-legal, race inspired Evora!

2011 Aston Martin V12 Vantage Coupe - “AMWH”

The V12 Vantage coupe has been called the “fastest and most agile Vantage ever” this one has been upgraded by GAS to include an all-Pearl Paint scheme with a flat matte finish which has been carried over to incorporate the central veneer of the cockpit.  Slick black paint has been applied to the front grille and chrome window surrounds.   The interior factory styling complements the stunning exterior color with a Chancellor Red Semi-Aniline Leather and Alcantara finish.  Gorgeous carbon fiber pieces from the Vantage Collection are also incorporated into the exterior door mirror caps, side sills, exterior side strakes, enhanced rear lip spoiler, interior upper door caps, interior A/C vents and three engine strut braces under the hood! The Flowmaster free-flowing exhaust system enhances the exhaust note over and above the factory system and adds approximately 10hp to the overall performance. Forgiato custom 20″ Aggio 5-spoke wheels are finished in Matte Black and paired with a set of super sticky Pirelli tires. With this supercar you get it all – performance, handling and styling!

2011 Jaguar XK Roadster

This new 2011 Jaguar XK convertible receives special treatment by GAS with the gorgeous addition of custom Primrose paint, 20” black chrome Jaguar wheels, blacked out chrome trim, charcoal leather interior with ivory stitching and custom Primrose painted interior trim.

Retractable Hardtop Mustang

G.A.S. introduces the very first handcrafted, one-off 2011 Mustang GT retractable hardtop designed by Joseph Adjwok and customized by Galpin Auto Sports! Carefully designed to replace the existing soft top roof, this flush fitting retractable tonneau cover automatically stows the roof away from the luggage area, allowing room for storage. G.A.S. gave this one-of-a-kind pony a PPG custom Orange Pearl paint job and black custom leather interior with complementary orange pinstripe accents, 20” black chrome stagger wheels, Ford Racing Suspension kit, CDC front spoiler and Magnaflow Exhaust system. This beast is waiting to be unleashed with its mighty 5.0L V8 engine giving 412 hp and 390 lb.-ft. of torque, which is mated to a responsive 6-speed automatic transmission. It’s time to put the top down and GO-GAS-GO!

Boss 302-X

GAS was inspired to build the ultimate BOSS 302. Starting out with an already beefy 2012 BOSS 302, GAS gave it an extra 9 inches with a custom one-of-a-kind handmade all metal wide body that takes this awesome vehicle to a whole new level. Once painted with a GAS designed special one-of-a-kind Matte Orange Pearl PPG paint with custom painted black BOSS graphics, GAS added a custom-built ProCharger supercharger kit to bring this already impressive vehicle over 780HP! Now to put the power to the ground, one-off massive one-piece forged Forgiato wheels were wrapped in Pirelli 335/30/20 rear and 295/35/20 racing compound front tires. A Borla attack exhaust, Stoptech vented and grooved front and rear rotors, Brembro front calipers, Ford Racing lowering springs, Laguna Seca rear wing and Extreme front air dam, and custom sealed rear quarter windows round out the exterior. Inside features a 6-point roll cage painted to match the exterior paint of the car, BOSS 302-X custom embroidered racing seats and a Laguna Seca gauge pod. For the finishing touch, GAS custom painted a racing helmet that also matches the car!
