To surprise him on our wedding day would be the ultimate shock, I know I would truely be loved for the rest of my life after that
August 15th, 2009 at 11:02 am
I have been looking at your shows and seen magnifecent changes in vehicles
that you have stripped and rebuild . That MUSTANG MONSTER is AUWSOME and
only the FOOSE TEAM can provide such stunning work .
Thats my dream come true to own that MONSTER MUSTANG
August 18th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
Listen man, what’s the point of advertising this thing as a compo on a South African website if no-one from SA is eligible to enter the bloody compo? Have any of you wannabe winners even read the ” Official Rules ” –
http://www.powerblocktv.com/watchandwin/foose/rules.html
- there’s no point in making us drool over a car that will never be available as a prize for a South African.
Besides, SA is so far behind the States when it comes to car customization ( unless you want a body kit for your stupid VW or Honda ) – just imagine if we had an Overhaulin’/Musclecar show here – ” Jannies Ten Day Volla Remake! ”
Pathetic.
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:06 pm
I am 31 years of age and have always wanted a mustang. A mustang is my wifes dream car. I hope to be the one that can win.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
i really want to win this car for my dad he loves Ford Mustang cars but because he raised 4 children and used all his money to make his family happy he never got his dream car he sacrificed so many of his dreams changing careers from a job that made him happy to a job with more money for his family. he is really a great man and i would love to give him this car to say thank you for everything that you have done for the family. i would love for once if one of his dreams could come true
Thank you
August 27th, 2009 at 4:57 pm

September 11th, 2009 at 12:47 am

September 18th, 2009 at 12:45 am
I am a Soldier in the U.S. Army I love Foose Mustangs I leave for Iraq for the 3rd time in the end of Oct. and this would be the ultimate going away prize I love American Muscle Cars and Mustangs are at the top. It would be an honor to win the best car from the Genius Chip Foose.

I respect your work and would greatly appreciate this work of art if I were to win this. Thank you for all you do !
October 6th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
HI I WANT TO WIN THIS CAUSE IT IS THE ONLY DREAM THATS KEEPS ME WORKING TO ALLOW MYSELF TO SAVE SOME MONEY TO BUY SOMETHING SO POWERFUL AND BEAUTYFULL AS THE DREAM CAR OF MINE. IT IS LIKE THE FULL BLOODED HORSE THAT IS WAITING TO BE TESTED AND TO BE RIDE.THE ONE AND ONLY AMERICAN MUSTANG
October 10th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
My 13 year old son and i never miss an over haulin show, If im at work my wife will tape it for me. Our son is so amazed that Chip comes up with the great ideas for cars that he wants to go to school so that he can be just like Chip. My wifes favorite car in the world is a mustang and i have been looking for just the right one for her but with the economy the way it is its very hard. That would be the ultimate car to surprize my wife with she would not know what to do. As for myself and son just to meet Chip Foose would be the greatest of all.
October 14th, 2009 at 4:08 am
My name is Chris. I am a graduate student becoming a teacher. I spent all my money to get my education and I can’t afford a new car. Im driving an old impala right now but I would really love a nice car like a Mustang. I’m almost 25, i’m single, looking for a permanent teaching job and completely broke from my schooling
I would buy a mustang right now if i could Its a great looking car and its American!
October 15th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Oh what to do! Oh what to do? I can not win nor can I lose. The odds are against me and with me. Its a 50/50 chance. But that is surely one car that cant be won. It is one of those ‘things’ that must be earned and not to be possesed by heart and soul. Great car though. My regards to C Foose
October 16th, 2009 at 10:52 am
It is my dream to have a mustang. this is the only way i can get it
October 20th, 2009 at 11:27 am
Hi.I am an Engineer working for Transnet in Souh Africa. This would be a dream for me. I have never been on holiday before.
October 20th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Moreover i did not mention that I so love American Muscle Cars.They are my dreams and fantasy.
October 21st, 2009 at 6:49 pm
I am a racing fan and loves a fast car. I love a car that got more than va-va-voom. This Mustang is the one and only! I will make you proud if I’m the one that will be driving it and taking care of this beauty!
Chip Foose you make me happy!
October 22nd, 2009 at 8:52 pm
I’m from Argentina, and having one is my dream(obviously imagine how hard it’s for me here), since i first saw it when i was 15. now i’m 18 and a half. I’m totally decided to go there and get one, same day i will!! and i also think that chip does an amazing work, it’s the only thing that motivates me for keep studying, some say, some day with a lot of work I’m going to get one, some times when i see videos of it, i don’t know, i just feel in my heart a strange feeling, a lovely feeling… imagine my self just seat inside it, makes me cry! mustang gt listen to me and listen me well!! some day you will be my i swear.
October 26th, 2009 at 12:27 am
Im form the south. My favorite car is a mustang. I think this will be my mustang because its time for a change no one for the south ever win and today is my birthday so I would love to have this car P.S. and if I dont win I would love to have the painting as a reminder for what I could have won. As everyone no you are one of the best painters I no. I have never seen someone paint a picture of what they going to do and do it.
October 26th, 2009 at 9:35 am
The reason i would love to win his car is because i see it as a classic i have always loved old cars with hard bodies and fast engines something about these cars are so sexy .I am a chick that diggs bikes and for the ride of anyone life i would recommend a ford mustang . One does not need to have music playing in this car because the sound of the engine is music to ones ears.
October 28th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
please please let me win the 2010 Ford Mustang GT i’m beging you for it. i dreamed for this car, i’ll do eny thing for this car. and also i love classic cars i always wanted to have one. way..? because it has a srong engine, srong shaped body, cool rimes, and a manual sick gear. SO PLEEEEEEEEEEEEZ CHOOSE ME.

November 10th, 2009 at 1:00 pm

Pathetically ridiculous. READ THE RULES!
November 25th, 2009 at 5:49 am
thats a dream car
November 29th, 2009 at 4:37 am
Don’t get too excited. These things are pieces of junk. I bought a brand new 2009 GT this past summer, and already it is having all kinds of problems. The engine makes a ticking sound when you start it, the rear axle whines, the motor sounds funny when you get on it, like the valve train is messed up, second gear synchronizer is beginning to grind whenever you shift into it, there are weird rattles from the trunk area, and a hissing sound from somewhere behind the dashboard. I have babied this car, it looks great, and doesn’t have a scratch on it, but it drives like a 10 year old heap with 100,000 miles on it already. I wish I had never bought this pig.
December 1st, 2009 at 7:01 am
I realy want to win this car.
December 1st, 2009 at 12:35 pm
Hallo Chip Foose
I live in South Africa> My husband and Son watch your show every time. You are the best by far. Freddie and Wayne built a 1954 chevy it took them 5 years. We are not so lucky to get parts so quick but the end result was perfect. We sold it after 6 years big MISTAKE. Since that day they stated planing again. It would be wonderfull if I can make their dreams come true. I am sure it will be the best present by far. Heads will turn as I am sure he wil be the only one driving a Foose Mustang is SA .
December 2nd, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Im 23 years old,2 days ago I just became a proud dad of a boy. I have been watching all the shows,and the show where you have a pimped out ride you father handed down to you really baught tears to my eyes. I dont have a car,this mustang is my dream car,i even have it on my dream chart. I want to be that dad to give my son this car one day,and when he is older him to his son. You really are a good person Foose,god bless
December 8th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I am a 20year old gal who is starting the peak of her career as civil engineer and a car despretely as to all the site visits i must make for supervion and cannot due to the lack of not having a car. it wud be a great deal to be blessed with 1 since m not yet in the position on affording 1…
December 9th, 2009 at 9:14 am
Hi
I am a 22 year old guy that has according to a lot of people done more than his age. For the past two years now i have been running my own events company along with 6 Record Labels and i’m enjoying it. The only problem is i don’t have a car or the funds to buy one so in my case it would a case of need than want. I need a car to be able to continue further in my business and a stylish one at that would put me in a very awesome position.
This car would be a dream come true for me and it would really open up a lot of doors for me, my widowed mom and my two siblings.
I need this car and i hope i will get it.
God Bless for you this and thank you for the opportunity.
December 9th, 2009 at 9:18 am
I love cars and of course beautiful awesome, customized sports cars are any boy’s dream.
Sometimes i find myself afraid to watch such programs simple because it kills me to watch the awesome creations knowing that it would take me a while to get one myself.
I believe that now i stand a chance to win one and i hope i will win one.
This is by far the best i have seen and my love for cars is endless.
December 9th, 2009 at 11:03 am
I am fun of the great master Foose, both father Sam and son Chip. I watch ever Overhaulin and everything to do with Foose. I believe the th best Mustang to be created still is the 67 GT 500. Thats the year two greats where created, a Selby GT500 and myself on the 19 Aug 67. Winning this would be heaven for both me and my son Psyin. He loves everything that is mustang and Foose. Us having this dream car would be greater than having a a dram come true.
All the best with this competation , Love Gan and Psyin Naidoo , Johannesburg South Africa
December 12th, 2009 at 12:46 am
man thiz car iz dope…i love tha color n tha body style, it lookz like a big azz pitbull n i dont even gotta mention that foose does infact have tha ballz of a bull when it c’z red…if thiz add izn’t over yet i would like to win thiz car…
December 14th, 2009 at 6:32 am
This 32year old South African mom of twins REALLY REALLY like this car. Am I normal? It’s beautiful.
Hehehe, will trade the twins for this car, think it would be less trouble. No, seriously, I would really like to drive this baby, would like to see this car close-up. Can I be the lucky winner pretty please?
December 15th, 2009 at 7:50 am
I’m 40 year old man and need a second wind, I have five kids and need something in my gerage just so I can get away. And what better way then to have a foose can in it. I know it’s a toss up but, if by chance I get this car you know for sure I’ll go to all the required shows, you know, for the kids sake. I’m willing to sacrifice a little for the family. Anything for the kids is what I say. Please I’m tired of driving the soccer mom car around and give me that second wind I need.
Thanks, Rob.
December 17th, 2009 at 5:40 am
its mine hehehehhee
December 20th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
I have the muscles,and so does the Mustang. On the road there won’t be anything better to look at but the muscular pair(Fordy and I
)
January 8th, 2010 at 5:20 am
Make my american dream come true!!! I always promised my grandma that i would take for a spin in a true sportscar before she passes on! Help me make my dream come true and keep my promise to her! Foose clip you are the best thanx Richard

January 22nd, 2010 at 11:06 am
I really still cannot believe that many posters here have not read the RULES of the competition. This is NOT OPEN TO SOUTH AFRICANS.
January 22nd, 2010 at 11:11 am
If it is not open for South Africans then who is the doos that advertised on a South African Website???? carblog.co.za mind the .co.za
January 22nd, 2010 at 11:19 am
Just a little Update – IT’S ALREADY BEEN WON – http://www.powerblocktv.com/watchandwin/foose/
January 31st, 2010 at 8:43 pm
i would do anything to own a mustang i would sale my sole to the devil
February 2nd, 2010 at 6:38 pm
Damn, that is all I have to say about the Mustang…
Being a South African, staying in South Africa we do not get to see these types of cars that much apart from shows on TV, such as Pimp My Ride…….
Only the rich can afford a car of this nature here,,,,,,,I see 1 almost every day on my way to work @ a exotic car sales dealer……it is red with the white racing stripe…..i even slow down just to catch a longer glimpse of it!
I must say, this type of car onlt started catching my attention when I reached my teens and watched “Gone in 60 seconds” with Nicolas Cage……i fell in love with the car…….
It would be a complete and utter dream to own 1 like this…….
Please make my dream come true…..
February 4th, 2010 at 3:02 pm
Hi I would really like to win a GT my dream GT is the GT570Kr but any GT would do, I live in South Africa, I’m a Systems Developer, I live in Johannesburg North the most well respected suburbs in Joburg as you know Joburg is the mother of all Cities in Africa, I work in Sandton, the most top class and most expensive place to live around in the whole of South Africa not even Cape Town has a place as top as Sandton, I’ve always had a thing for American Cars and in South Africa a GT is considered to be a Muscle Car but people here are into Sport Cars, a lot from European Models the likes of Ferrari, Lambo etc, I would love to take on this cars in the Exciting Roads of Johannesburg with the world cup around the corner in SA, I believe that showing off the power of Ford GT among many visitors and actually responsibly taking on the common cars would be very exciting, My uncle drives a three Porches and he sometimes takes me with to his business meetings and I can just imagine my self in the middle of top class individuals with a GT nicely dressed up, man I’m seriously into GT let me win I travel between three provinces at least two times a month when ever I go to the fancy Places I’ll take the GT with me especially with the world cup around the corner please please let me win, there only one place in Joburg that sells a GT it used to be a Mazarati shop called Viglietti Motors to the best of my knowledge they are the only one importing cars such as Ford GT, every time I drive past their shop I have to slow down just to take a good look at the cars, please!!!! Let me win and show off the GT in the South Africa.
February 9th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
Im out of words!!! all that i can say its my dream car ill do anything for it!!!!
March 5th, 2010 at 3:43 pm

March 6th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
i am a simple person, i dont dream much, cause i know they never or hardly come true…
if i had to dream…. it would be to have my 2yr olds name displayed on this vehicle…
i guess that would be the best thrill for a father
March 8th, 2010 at 12:43 pm
its my soulmate…the passion…the desire…the absolute extacy…
March 8th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
HIDALGO… this was a mustang horse that featured in the movie
i am a lover of horses…and unforunately a race horse goes for around 1.2bars…
i dream of buying one, and making my little one the owner….(this will make her the youngest owner of a true bred machine on 4 legs )
since this is highly impossible, what would the possibility be of owning this mustang and making her one of the youngest owners of this machine…
if the horse is extremely quick and well paced…. i wonder what this power capsule would be like….
so..if possible, i would like to win this steriod on wheels…
March 9th, 2010 at 9:36 am
i’m a south african born car idolizer who, like many others it seems, cherish the foolish dream of stepping on the throttle of such an illustrious stallion. by chance black happens to be my favourite color!!i’m also a musician and philosophy student – now who can think of a more worthy driver than a blues guitarist??? fingers crossed
March 9th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
I was born and raised in France until the age of 15, then came to the US to North Carolina. Spoke no English when I came but graduated from high school, was an Eagle Scout, and graduated from college with a 4 year degree. I joined the US Army from 1980- 1987. I finished my military career as a CID Agent. After the military, got into car sales and did well enough to have my own car lot after 13 years. Had the American Dream, nice house, happy wife, kids out of college and working, etc… In 2007-2008 I lost it all. Credit, business, house, and my health. We now live in a small townhouse that our daughter rents to us.
I have an artificial mitral valve, which was surgically attached to my heart in November 2002. I also have an enlarged heart that beats twice the rate of a regular heart because one of the chambers is not functioning properly, which causes me to have incredible fatigue, makes it hard to breathe when walking, and makes it very difficult to carry or lift anything.
A little over two years ago, I had my first stroke. I could not walk or speak for two days. I spent over a week in the hospital. Thank God the clot got stuck between two vessels and disintegrated itself or I would not be here to write this letter. It also caused me to lose some vision, affected my short term memory a little, and I no longer can hear too well out of my right ear. I also had four TIA’s (mini strokes) while at the hospital. .
.
Both my doctor and cardiologist suggested disability, but I continued working. I had a couple more mini strokes while working for a major dealership in Raleigh NC.I spent more time in the hospital, and last year decided to work at a small used car lot where there would be less stress and shorter hours for me.
Ten days ago, I had another stroke, and was in the hospital five days. I then went back to work 3 days later, against doctor advice, only to find that my desk was cleared and I no longer had a job. I was not told why, but a co-worker related to me that they decided to do away with my position while I was in the hospital because of my medical condition. My medical benefits were terminated on the 5th of February and with all the prescriptions I take, I cannot afford it to pay full price for them. By the way, my employer took out 377 dollars from my last check on the 9th of February for medical insurance
My wife and I started a Franchise seven years ago (Electrolux vacuums) that we closed this month because in today’s market, not a lot of people spend money on high end items. We kept it afloat for the past three years. Due to financial hard times, and me loosing my job, we closed the franchise this month..
I no longer have a car, it wouold be God sent if I had one.
