John Rambo, una cuestión de sangre: así ha evolucionado el inmortal personaje de Sylvester Stallone en cinco películas
Haz click aquí para consultar este artículo en Espinof.
En 1972, diez años antes de que el pueblo de Hope arrebatase toda la esperanza de un veterano de guerra con problemas emocionales que solo estaba de paso hacia una (otra) secuela de una vida complicada, David Morrell publicó su primera novela. Por supuesto, sigue siendo su obra más popular tras casi medio siglo escribiendo libros. Se titulaba ‘Primera sangre’.
Heridas (interiores) de guerra
Impactado por la serie ‘Route 66’ cuando era un chaval, el canadiense David Morrell, sintió que esa combinación de acción y compadreo se aproximaba lo suficiente a algo a lo que dedicarse en un futuro. Más fan de los billares que de la gramática, reconoce que los estudios no ayudaron a su capacidad para la escritura. Tras doce años intentando terminar su primera novela, ocho de ellos estudiando y licenciándose, decidió volver a empezar a través de los responsables de aquella serie.
Así, envió una carta a Stirling Silliphant, uno de los creadores de la misma, con un mensaje tan llamativo como simple: “Quiero ser como tú”. Para sorpresa de todos, no tardó en recibir una contestación que todavía hoy permanece enmarcada en su despacho.
Despedido de un trabajo en la construcción tras provocar un pequeño accidente, se encontró viendo en televisión ‘El precio del triunfo’, una película escrita por Rod Serling sobre la moralidad de luchar para ascender en la escala corporativa, sin importar quién resulte herido en el proceso. Siguió tomando nota de lo aprendido con Silliphant. Con una beca bajo el brazo viajó a Estados Unidos para estudiar en la Universidad Estatal de Pensilvania, donde finalizó sus estudios de literatura americana con trabajos sobre Hemingway y John Barth.

Rambo debería haberse suicidado en ‘Acorralado’
Una vez graduado en 1968, Morrell dio clases de primer año. Varios veteranos de Vietnam se encontraban entre sus estudiantes. Durante las clases y las charlas, muchos hablaron sobre su experiencia y sobre cómo fue regresar a los Estados Unidos. Muchos describieron sus pesadillas, ataques de pánico, ira, dificultad con las relaciones, problemas con la bebida y otros síntomas de lo que hoy se conoce como trastorno de estrés postraumático. Había nacido John Rambo.
El turista accidental
Publicado en 1972, tres años antes de la finalización del conflicto en Vietnam, los derechos de ‘Primera sangre’ se fueron a Columbia Pictures por 75.000 dólares. Allí pensaron que sería un proyecto ideal para Richard Brooks, responsable de ‘Los profesionales‘, ‘El fuego y la palabra’ o ‘A sangre fría‘. En aquella primera versión, más centrada en el sheriff del pueblo que en Rambo, la intención era contar con Lee Marvin o Burt Lancaster en papel que inmortalizaría Brian Dennehy, y el coronel Trautman dejaba sitio a una psiquiatra interpretada por Bette Davis. Rambo moría.
El proyecto saltaría a Warner, donde Martin Ritt quiso a Paul Newman como Rambo y a Robert Mitchum como villano, pero la compañía quería a Clint Eastwood o a Robert De Niro como veterano héroe de guerra. Ambos personajes morían en esta versión escrita por Walter Newman. Sydney Pollack, Mike Nichols, John Badham, John Travolta, Steve McQueen, Robert Redford… mil nombres poblaron el bosque maldito de un proyecto que no encontró la luz durante una década. Fue entonces cuando el estudio independiente Carolco, de los inolvidables Mario Kassar y Andrew G. Vajna, unieron fuerzas con el realizador canadiense Ted Kotcheff para sacar adelante el proyecto.
Con tres entregas de ‘Rocky‘, dos nominaciones al Oscar y un thriller competente entre medias (‘Halcones de la noche’), Sylvester Stallone era una estrella consagrada que pidió tres millones y medio de dólares por su participación. Finalmente conseguiría un contrato por dos más variables. Unas variables que tendrán un valor incalculable. Sobre todo teniendo en cuenta el cambio en el desenlace de la historia. “Siempre había concebido la historia de Rambo como una misión suicida. América no le quiere, y él tampoco la quiere a ella. Desde que toma la decisión de cruzar el puente, sabe que todo va a ir de mal en peor”, afirmaba Kotcheff. Pero claro, al final el héroe no morirá porque el espectáculo debe continuar. En el ‘Predator’ de Stallone el cazador era él, y deshacerse del soldado perfecto habría sido un error histórico.
‘Acorralado‘ fue un éxito impresionante. Sus quince millones de presupuesto recaudaron diez veces más, y fue una de las películas más exitosas del año de ‘E.T. El extraterrestre‘. El mejor parado fue, como es lógico, su protagonista. Una de las pocas películas que recaudó más dinero que su incursión forestal fue ‘Rocky III’, la segunda película más taquillera de su otra franquicia estrella.
Infierno, dulce hogar
Tres años más tarde, llegó la secuela que redefinió al personaje y que seguirá siendo para siempre el mayor éxito en la historia de la saga. A pesar de lo fácil que lo tenían, de apostar sobre seguro, la gestación de ‘Rambo: Acorralado – Parte II’, tampoco fue especialmente relajada.
Desde 1970, el rumor corría por las calles de Estados Unidos: en Laos aún quedaban soldados norteamericanos capturados y retenidos en cuevas. “Si me entero de que uno de los míos está desaparecido, no lo daré por muerto hasta no tener el 100% de certeza. Creo que por eso la película habla de cosas importantes”, decía Stallone al respecto.
De todos modos, uno de los mayores problemas durante la preparación de la película (para la que Stallone entrenó cuatro horas al día durante ocho meses) estuvo en la escritura de las distintas versiones a las que dio pie la historia de Kevin Jarre.
A pesar de firmar como co-guionista junto a Stallone, James Cameron parece mantener la misma distancia con esta película que con ‘Piraña II: los vampiros del mar‘: “Para mí se trató de un simple trabajo que me dio de comer durante seis meses. Llegué tarde al proyecto y me apunté porque por entonces estaba fascinado con la guerra de Vietnam”.

Las 32 mejores películas de acción de la historia
Por entonces Cameron se encontraba preparando ‘Aliens: El regreso‘, y es normal que su campo de prácticas fuera el mismo Vietnam. “La mayoría de los valores morales de mi guión fueron suprimiéndose durante el rodaje, por eso prefiero mantenerme al margen de esa película”. La estrella de la función también se pronunció al respecto: “Mi reescritura del guión de James Cameron no fue por un punto de vista político. Su guión estaba incompleto. Si dice lo contrario, miente”.
Lo único que queda del espíritu Cameron en ‘Rambo’ es el espectáculo de las escenas de acción. Afortunadamente (o no), tampoco salió adelante la idea de tener un colega de misión “chistoso” que a punto estuvo de tener el rostro de John Travolta.
Dirigida por George P. Cosmatos, con quien el actor repetirá éxito poco después gracias a la mítica (y mejor) ‘Cobra, el brazo fuerte de la ley‘, ‘Rambo: Acorralado – Parte II’, fue un éxito descomunal al que solo hizo sombra la película más taquillera de 1985: ‘Regreso al futuro‘. Misión cumplida.
Sangre y arena
El Rambo más cachas de la saga, pero también el que más fácil caía en la autoparodia involuntaria. Intentar repetir el éxito de la anterior entrega era la misión más suicida de todas.
En condiciones normales, preparar una continuación de la película de acción más rompedora de los ochenta (por entonces) habría sido un camino de rosas. La mayor estrella del planeta, que además tenía otra franquicia viento en popa, volvía a coger las armas para una última (ejem) misión. Pero Stallone, que venía dando tumbos tras el mayor fracaso de su carrera, ‘Yo, el halcón‘, estaba especialmente nervioso. Sus productores, bastante más.
Con un sueldo de cuatro millones de dólares y el plus de un jet Gulfstream valorado en otros doce, Stallone empezó a buscar una historia con ayuda de Sheldon Lettich, que venía de firmar el guión del éxito al servicio de Jean-Claude Van Damme, ‘Contacto sangriento’. “Creí que le habían gustado mis trabajos ahí o en ‘Objetivo Vietnam’ (su primer guión para un largometraje, dirigido por Josh Becker en 1985 con el título original de ‘Stryker’s War’), pero fue uno que nunca llegué a realizar, ‘Firebase’, el que llamó su atención”.
Con la historia en el bolsillo, llegó el momento de poner rumbo hacia un director. El australiano Russell Mulcahy, que veterano autor de docenas de videoclips y de algunos éxitos de culto de la época, como ‘Razorback: los colmillos del infierno’ o ‘Los inmortales‘, era el elegido. Pero poco a poco la cosa fue volviéndose más complicada. Incluso el guionista, Lettich, no está del todo satisfecho con los resultados. El escritor venía de diseccionar Vietnam del modo más realista posible y, bueno, “en la película hay un montón de situaciones que están muy lejos de la realidad. El momento final entre tanque y caballo, como un torneo medieval de justa, es inconcebible”.
En Espinof
Ni Ethan Hunt, ni Jack Reacher: el héroe de acción definitivo se llama Tom Cruise
“Al principio nos entendimos de maravilla, pero yo estaba tratando de hacer una película del estilo de ‘Los inmortales’, olvidando el hecho de que tenía a mi disposición una estrella que valía millones de dólares. Así llegamos a las diferencias creativas tras dos semanas de rodaje. Pero sin acritud. Sly y yo somos buenos amigos. Además, en la película queda reflejado mi trabajo: el ataque al fuerte ruso es mío”.
Con la alerta roja de la hecatombe bramando, llegó el momento de delegar la dirección en el responsable de la segunda unidad, Peter MacDonald. El británico, además, ya se había encargado de la misma labor en la anterior aventura del personaje (y en títulos como ‘El imperio contraataca‘, ‘Excalibur’ o ‘El dragón del lago de fuego’.
Al final, con Stallone intentando salvar los muebles (como director no acreditado, pero se le supone el resultado final), ‘Rambo III’ recaudó casi lo mismo que la anterior a nivel internacional… pero tres veces menos en casa. Eso, además de la pésima recepción crítica, dejaron al personaje meditando durante treinta años.
Rambo el bárbaro
Eso sí que no se lo esperaba nadie. El regreso de Rambo, treinta años después, no solo es la mejor de la saga: es la mejor película de Sylvester Stallone como director. “Me explicó que no le gustaba el tono que tenían la segunda y tercera película, porque parecían glorificar la violencia. Me dijo que quería volver a la esencia del personaje”. Habla David Morrell, “padre” de la criatura y mano derecha del personaje durante todos estos años. “Es el personaje que yo imaginé en 1972: cabreado y devastado”.
Al contrario que en momentos más complicados, el responsable número uno venía de un momento dulce. Dos años antes había estrenado con éxito ‘Rocky Balboa‘, pequeñísimo ejercicio de amor por el personaje de apenas 24 millones de dólares con el que recaudó más de ciento cincuenta. Pero al contrario que aquella, la producción sería mucho más aparatosa y con el doble de presupuesto. Todo ello invertido en una insultante cantidad de sangre y violencia que, contra todo pronóstico, resultó ser un hermoso y refrescante soplo de aire fresco.
El guión salió rápido y bien, pero con un detalle peculiar: Stallone lo aparcó diez años para ser la base de la próxima ‘Rambo: Last Blood’. “Me gustaba la historia, su aire western, pero no me parecía la mejor opción para el regreso de Rambo”, afirma Stallone.

Las 23 mejores películas bélicas de todos los tiempos
Mientras se escribía la nueva historia, cineastas como Luc Besson, Richard Donner o James Mangold fueron considerados para la dirección, aunque finalmente, y casi contra todo pronóstico para él mismo, acabó dirigiendo el protagonista. “Nunca imaginé que terminaría dirigiendo un episodio de Rambo, es un cine mucho más intenso que ‘Rocky’, lo opuesto a su intimismo. No lo tenía muy claro”. Personalmente, creo que se trata de la mejor decisión de su carrera, además de su mejor película como director: la película parece estar dirigida por el propio Rambo.
La cuarta película de Rambo es la historia de la vida. Un tío de vuelta de todo que tiene que dejarse la piel para que cuatro anormales cumplan sus sueños y delirios de grandeza mientras piensan que son ellos los que ayudan. Y encima se ofenden. Bromas aparte, ‘John Rambo’ es la primera película de la saga que nos mete a nosotros, espectadores acomodados en una vida de lujo en pleno siglo XXI, dentro de una guerra real.
Es ofensiva, espeluznante. Hay imágenes realmente perturbadoras. Es una obra maestra done las salpicaduras nos evocan a los momentos más hermosos del cine samurái. Stallone se pronunció al respecto durante una masiva presentación en la sala de prensa del Santiago Bernabéu: “Si te disparan con esas armas, no te hacen agujeritos: te parten por la mitad”.
Sin Jerry Goldsmith entre nosotros, Brian Tyler fue el encargado de poner música y recuperar el tono, la garra y la melancolía de una partitura que dejó un par de obras maestras, sobre todo la de la segunda entrega, una obra absoluta que llegó en el momento en que el músico experimentaba con más fuerza que nunca a través del sintetizador, dando un paso de gigante tras la música para ‘Runaway: Brigada especial’ que había creado un año antes.
El legado del héroe
Italia, Filipinas, Turquía… pocos países se quedaron sin buscar su Rambo particular. Incluso Estados Unidos siguió buscando con mayor o menor fortuna entre los restos del Nam. ‘Desaparecido en combate’ o incluso ‘Commando‘ fueron recreaciones y vueltas de tuerca a lo ya visto antes. Y no todas las explotaciones son para tomar a risa.
‘Blastfighter: la furia de la venganza’, es una película de Lamberto Bava más que notable. Originalmente pensada para ser una explotación de ‘Mad Max‘, terminó siendo, gracias a una importante inyección de presupuesto, un spaghetti-Rambo más que digno.
La americanización creada a base de copiar el cine de acción made in USA por parte de las coproducciones entre Italia y el país que se pusiera a tiro, nunca mejor dicho, en ocasiones estaba llena de honestidad y buenas intenciones. Estas escandalosas copias de tramas y secuencias determinadas de títulos concretos, puestos uno detrás de otro con actores sobrados de carisma, eran, paradójicamente, excelentes vehículos cargados de entretenimiento.
‘Blastfighter, la furia de la venganza’, es un ejemplo perfecto. Una mezcla explosiva de ‘Acorralado’ o ‘Defensa (Deliverance)‘ que se toma la molestia de, al menos, ser una película de principio a fin.
Joseph Zito, autor de alguna de las mejores películas de Cannon, como ‘Invasión USA’, se apuntó a la moda del Rambo en b, curiosamente, con un colega de Stallone: Dolph Lundren se convirtió en ‘Red Scorpion’, entrañable clásico del videoclub no exento de cierto encanto.
Serían cientos las películas que podríamos incluir en este apartado, pero eso sería otro artículo. Así que vamos a ir cerrando con un par de apuntes llamativos y uno más obvio que otro. Dentro de lo que se podía esperar, decir que Rambo tuvo videojuegos. Muchos. Y muy pocos realmente jugables. Es más: seguimos esperando por el videojuego definitivo.
Lo que no era tan lógico era que semejante apología de la violencia y el fascismo bien entendidos (esto es, en cine de acción para comer palomitas y bramar con los puños en alto cuando un asesino despiadado y pedófilo pierde sus intestinos por tremendo corte letal del héroe) dieran como resultado una serie de dibujos animados para los críos de mi generación.
El legado de John J. Rambo es eterno. No importa las infinitas parodias que haya soportado, ni las críticas despiadadas que lo mantuvieron (puede que) merecidamente en el limbo de los héroes de acción, pero ahora mismo el viejo ex-boina verde está camino de su casa y de nuestros cines. Y eso, amig@s, siempre es motivo de celebración. Bienvenido a casa, soldado.

The Time is NOW to Get Kids Into Cars!
In the January 2018 issue, the editor’s column and a story inside the magazine introduced readers to young Frankie Waters and her passion for her 1967 Mustang fastback project. That story and column elicited more comments than we’ve gotten in quite some time, showing that it hit a real nerve about saving our automotive hobby and industry by getting young people off their cell phones, out in the garage, and interested in cars and, hopefully, Mustangs.
This month’s cover story is on the Rebuilding Generations program that does just that—gets kids working with adults to build cars while teaching the generations about each other. Kids and adults alike learn new things through the program under the guise of mentorship, and great cars come out of it as well. It’s a real win-win. This story is meant to show more real-world examples of young people and their passion for Mustangs using their own words and pictures. We started it off with the story of Timothy Baba and his two daughters as they restored a Mach 1 (which you may have seen on Mustang-360.com back in December).
Papa’s Race Car J.M. McLain, from Lake Elsinore, California, wrote in to tell us about his grandson, who already has the Mustang bug. He said, “Our grandson, Jacob, has been a Mustang enthusiast since he was a toddler. He would go out to the garage with Papa and work on Papa’s ‘race car.’ The ‘race car’ is really a 1965 fastback that has been on the project list for over 20 years after the framerail ended up in the trunk compartment. It’s a work in progress but holds a special place in our grandson’s heart and mind.”
Jacob doesn’t live very close to his grandparents anymore, but his grandfather said, “He still remembers working on ‘Papa’s race car.’ He visited us a few months ago and he was out in the garage ready to work on the Mustang with his grandpa. He is eight years old now and is anxious to learn more about Mustangs and cars in general. He and grandpa decided it would be cool to get the car running so they could hear it rumble. Jacob was grinning from ear to ear. Because of his great love of Mustangs, we ordered him his very own subscription to Mustang Monthly so he and grandpa can look at it together across the physical miles that separate them now. He also learned how to change a tire. Grandpa taught him how to remove the lug nuts, jack the car up, use jackstands and place the tire under the car for safety, rotate the tires properly, and tighten the lug nuts in the star pattern. It gives his grandpa great pleasure that the disappearing desire for working on muscle cars is still strong in Jacob.”
Making Memories Together Joey Burkman read the Hoofbeats column on HotRod.com and wrote to say, “It had me reflecting back on so many memories from my youth, building cars and friendships. Late nights in the garage with buddies firing up the latest engine build at 2:00 in the morning to break in the engine…no, the neighbors weren’t very appreciative of that, to say the least.
“The reason for my email is to talk about my son Logan who turned 16 this past June. He currently has his learner’s permit and he is very enthusiastic about cars. He purchased his first car over this past summer from the money he saved from his part-time job, a 1991 Mustang GT. We’re no strangers to Mustangs here as I’ve owned several over the years. He currently has it in the garage ready to pull the engine to deal with the oil leaks, and the plan is to swap out the AOD for a manual. While it’s up we’ll also address the almost 30-year-old suspension. The car sat for a number of years, the paint is faded—quite badly actually—but the interior is very clean and the ashtray door works! It’s hard to believe looking at it from the outside that it only has 86,000 miles on it. We continue to source parts for it and have hit a few swap meets, which has been a huge help. The memories we’re making and the time we’re spending together on his car are priceless. I hope that one day when he has his own son he’ll look back and remember all the great times we’ve shared.”
Mechanically Inclined Kids Are Still Around, and I’m the Proud Parent of One! Linda Cocce of Wayland, Massachusetts, says:
“My son John became fascinated with my ’64½ Mustang at a young age. He would have slept in it if allowed. To keep him happy I made him a Mustang bedroom with a custom rug, comforter, curtains with radio knob ties, and later he added Chip Foose signed Mustang emblems to the wall. He read everything he could about Mustangs, especially Mustang Monthly.
“If the Mustang was going in for service he was there trying to help. He was like a sponge—he wanted to know how everything worked; luckily, we had a very patient mechanic who would take the time to explain things to him. This just piqued his interest even more.
“He never had an X-box, computer games, or was allowed to watch TV during the day, so for fun he played outside with friends or used his tools to fix something. His fascination with motors continued, and soon other people’s discarded machines filled the garage. He would take them apart to see how they worked and make a new contraption out of the parts. By age 15 he started his own lawn care business. When his machines broke down, he’d fix them himself. This led to John repairing broken go-karts, mowers, chain saws, etc. for people in our town.
“He is 21 now, studying to be a mechanical engineer. During his summers, he works in his landscape business, fixes machines, and works as a mechanic in a garage. The first thing he packs when heading off to college in the fall are his tools!”
Johnny and the “very patient” mechanic Tom Morrell (from Butch & Son Automotive in Sudbury, MA) in the garage.

How cool would it be to wear a Mustang shirt in a Ferrari museum?
A Ford Family Through and Through The Hamilton Family lives in Eastern Oregon and are dyed-in-the-wool Ford people, with all the kids into building their own Fords, including a few Mustangs and Mavericks. The family patriarch Marvin wrote, “I was glad to see other families doing what we have been doing for years. I have five children (four daughters and one son) and all have received an old Ford at the age of 13 and began the process of tearing down and rebuilding on their own car. We have three Mustangs (a ’67, ’72 and ’73), two Mavericks (’75 and ’72 Grabber), and a 1967 F100 Stepside truck. My son Marvin is the second to oldest and he has been there for every car from day one. He has an amazing thirst for knowledge and a big heart. My daughters Cassie, Neali’i, Nive, Teelay, and Lani have also had the thrill of their first car and the pain of busting their knuckles on a flywheel (that is how you learn). I have been blessed to see how they have taken what they have been taught and use it to diagnose and repair an engine problem. I have also gotten my wife, Tile (pronounced “TEE lay”), into the game. The kids and I pulled together and built her a beautiful 1997 convertible with three-stage paint, and I had her in the 100-plus summer heat swapping out the top.”
“We are Hawaiian and Samoan; we do great BBQ and have fun with cars. We attend an awesome church where there are members with more Ford parts stored in their houses and out buildings than in Detroit, and our pastor always works his ’65 Mustang into the sermon one way or another. We are all about trade at the church and I have traded paintwork, beef jerky, BBQ (I make the best), and child labor for parts. If my kids need a part or something they want but don’t have they look to them for trade and go work for the part or the help fixing it. Not only do they learn the love of cars they learn community and the value of ‘trade’ (trade is a lost art). So many memories to share with my wife and kids and their cars.”
The Hamilton Family
The oldest daughter Cassie found her 1973 Mustang on a Facebook posting. Her dad said, “She sold her VW bug (that we built together) in a week and prayed the car was still for sale. We got it home and cleaned up and color-matched the copper to the repaired fenders. Then on her graduation day my son smashed into her car with his Maverick and mashed the passenger door and fender. My daughter went on a mission to Samoa after graduation and my son promised to have the repairs done before she came back. While pulling the fender and doing repairs my son asked, ‘Do we have the stuff to paint the whole car? We can do a full color change!’ That boy spent the next week and a half in 100-plus degree temps sanding and pulling dents and fixing old problems along the way. One picture you see him throwing down the black 2K. We shot the car in the garage and you can see it and my ’72 in gray. She is 22 now and has an Explorer after selling her ’73, which she totally regrets now.”
The kids and their Mavericks. The Hamilton’s house has “been the demise of many Granadas, Monarchs, and four-door Mavericks” used as parts cars. All cars have had Granada disc brake upgrades and were converted from a four-bolt lug drum to a five-bolt disc and matching rearend.
Keali’i is now 16 but got her car at 13. Her proud papa said, “She loves rolling up at her high school with that orange one-of-a-kind ’72 Grabber that she put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into (she is an Oregon Beavers fan, so now you get the colors).
Nive (age 14) is in the initial stages of her 1967 F100 build (she had to be different). She has the bed off of it and is using the garage and winter to set herself up great for spring. Dad said, “We have a set of old school turbines that are going to be powdercoated crimson red and it will be a flat black with crimson red scallops. She made that call and I am all good with it.”
Lastly you see a 1987 GT and a 1967 hardtop. Dad said, “My children and I spent several years building that ’87 for the wife and gave it to her on her birthday. She drove it a year, then one day at church one of our church members showed up in a ’66 coupe and that was it. She wanted a classic. Now I am about to start with her car.”
The Longest Summer of All Time Tommy Ratatsidis has been into cars his entire life, saying it started when he was a toddler, “My friends call me obsessed. I think it’s in my blood. My mom and dad bought a brand-new 1988 LX hatch when they got married, and when I was 3-4 years old my dad would street race his 1978 Cobra and my mom would take me to watch him race his LX. My dad always had Mustangs growing up.”
Dad’s stable included the ’78 Cobra, as well as a 1971 Boss 351 clone, a ’78 King Cobra, a ’73 Mach 1, an ’88 coupe, “and many in between.” When Tommy was 15, he worked at a car wash for the summer and saved everything he could to find a project car. He said, “I had my heart set on a 1969 SportsRoof. I would have settled for a shell, then work from there. Every week the Auto Trader would come to the shop and I would go through it on my break and the prices for first-generation Mustangs were starting to climb and climb and the cars were junk—rotten garbage cars for too much money. Then one day I was skimming through the pages and found an ad for an original-owner 1978 that ‘had to be seen’ according to the ad. I got home that day and told my dad, ‘You need to drive me to see a car!’”
With a mere $500 in his pocket and expecting to find a basket case, the car turned out to be clean and spotless with no filler and Tommy asked his dad what he thought. “He turned to me and said, ‘This is your car and your money, go make a deal.’ So [the owner and I] went to the backyard patio table and I told him I only had $500. He gave a look that said, ‘Do you know how much the car is worth?’ I told him I’d work all summer and could make $1,500 to $1,700 maximum, and he said $1,500 was enough. I offered to give him the $500 as a deposit and he said, ‘No, the car will go back in the garage with your name on it.’ We shook hands and went on our way. It was the longest summer of all time. I worked and made money and phoned him every two weeks to update him on how much more money I had. Finally at the end of August I got to go pick up the car. I couldn’t drive of course, so my dad drove it home but I couldn’t have been happier. Right away I yanked the four-cylinder drivetrain out to make room for a 351 Cleveland and automatic.”
Tommy later swapped the gas-guzzling Cleveland for a 302 and five-speed combo that he blew up street racing, so now the car has a 5.0 EFI engine from a 1989 Mustang GT and a Vortech blower. He also just added a 1978 Cobra to the stable, saying, “Now I have a newborn and wanted a project for her when she’s older, so we picked up a clean ’78 Cobra originally from Texas that had been sitting in a garage since 1983. My brother followed my footsteps and bought his first car when he was 15, a 1974 Mach 1. He’s 17 now and works incredibly hard and has a 1991 Fox coupe and a 1987 Bronco. We love our Fords; it’s in our blood.”

The green coupe has had pretty much everything done to it and sees occasional dragstrip duty with an ’89 5.0 and a Vortech supercharger.

The Top of His Class Don Cort wrote to tell us, “My wife and I recently purchased a Mustang for our son, Donny. He then taught himself, with my help, and worked through to complete a ground-up restoration of this 1966 Mustang GT hardtop. He stripped and restored the entire car by himself. He rebuilt the 289 engine and four-speed transmission, completely stripped the body, straightened it, then painted it and then reassembled the entire car with a full detailed nut-and-bolt restoration. He worked through the entire interior (bench seat car), wiring, and suspension as well. Essentially, the 15 year-old completed the entire project himself with some guidance in a year and learned incredible skill along the way, which put him at the top of his entire school’s automotive class as a freshman/sophomore. I offer this as an example of what is possible with our younger generation if opportunities are available. The pride, knowledge, and skills he gained were incredible and I could only hope you may find it in your best interest to reflect this in your fine magazine so others may see the light and opportunities available to the younger generation which may occupy their minds with something other than a video game, a cell phone, and the rest of time-wasting devices which so many are lost in.”
Absolutely Mr. Cort!
