SOME folks will build one car and cherish it for all eternity. For others, like Serdar Karabulut, cars are something that come and go.
“I’ve owned a lot of cars over the years,” Serdar says. “I’d finish a car, get offered the right money for it, and I’d move it on. During this build, I finished and sold another XW, as well as bought, rebuilt and raced a US Falcon Futura.”
Neither the XW nor the drag car (see sidebar, p.65) were shabby, but for Serdar, PRO430 is different. This one’s a keeper.
