Joins Van Halen, delivers #1 records, then turns Cabo San Lucas from a small, sleepy fishing village to a prime vacation spot AND creates a tequila company, sells it for $80 million while retaining 20% ownership?
And to top that, every one that I know that's met or done business with him says he's the coolest guy ever (unfortunately, I've never had the pleasure).
Coolest guy maybe ever.  |
One of the shops that i work closely with built him a custom '67 Mustang. They debuted it along with a car we built and both were showcased in the same booth at SEMA.
Fun Fact: Sammy's '67 is the FIRST ever reproduction '67 Mustang ever made. As in, his car isn't actually from 1967. It's a completely new car from a body that rolled off the assembly line in...i wanna say around '07.
Our shop built the 2nd.
