Another request for Classic cars for a Photoshoot.

[Pete]

Hi there.
I have been approached by Peter Grunert of the “Roadrat” magazine, who is trying to locate several cars for a Static Photo Shoot.

Please see the details below if you are interested in participating.

Please contact Peter directly, not via myself as I am not coordinating the responses in view of the timescales,

Many thanks.

------------------------------------------------


I'm arranging a static, indoor photoshoot to highlight the (sometimes overlooked) beauty of muscle cars. This is for a large feature in The Road Rat, a very beautiful and high quality quarterly car magazine. It's a highly positive story! Find more about us here https://theroadrat.com/ and here https://www.instagram.com/roadratmagazine/?hl=en

My brief is to find up to six representative cars. From an exterior viewpoint they'll need to be completely standard (so no aftermarket wheels, decals, non-stock paint, lowered ride height, etc). They'll also need to be extremely clean, ideally show standard.

Our total wish list is:

’64 Pontiac GTO,
’65 Ford Mustang fastback,
’67 Chevrolet Camaro,
’68 Dodge Charger,
’70 Plymouth Barracuda,
’71 AMC Javelin AMX

They all have to all be Coupes not convertibles.

The crucial point is that each car represents that generation of its model, so we could move by a couple of years on several of them (eg a ’68 instead of ’67 Camaro would be fine, but a ’70 Camaro wouldn't).

We need to shoot four cars minimum, to include a Charger (with a Challenger as a possible substitute), a Mustang fastback and a Camaro. The remaining car/s would ideally come from the list of six above, but we'd consider alternatives.

This will take place on Monday December 21st and the shoot location as a hangar at Bicester Heritage in Oxfordshire, where our office is. We will cover owners' petrol and food expenses, make them up a beautiful photographic print of their car and send them the issue of the magazine it appears in.


Please ask around and let's see what's manageable. If several owners say they'd rather do this after Christmas instead, I could move the shoot date to the first week of January.

All the best,


Peter Grunert

A nice day out indeed Del, top place that Bicester Heritage Centre.
Sounds like they'll look after you too.

I did think that when I saw the post.

I think you'll be ok - I doubt they'll know the difference

Hi there everyone – a quick update from Peter at “the Roadrat”…


Massive thanks for putting the word out for us.

I now have:

1965 Mustang,
68 Charger,
69 Camaro and
70 Cuda.

I am in great shape for our shoot on Dec 21st at Bicester Heritage.

Our ideal was to find five to six cars, so if I can source at least one more then I'd be well covered (especially if someone has to pull out at the last minute).
Given the 1964 GTO and 71 Javelin are looking unrealistic, I'd certainly consider many other cars and model years - they just need to be in completely standard specification, very clean and in the perfect scenario not made by Ford, Dodge, Chevrolet or Plymouth (even then I'd consider options).

Is anyone else interested in the Photoshoot that could drop Peter a line for consideration, given that he has widened his search?
