Patrick Wilson 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle - The Mojo's Workin'

"It's fun to have a musclecar that can hang with pretty much anything no matter what the application," he says. "I don't consider myself a particularly great driver, but even with all the power I still feel like the car doesn't get ahead of me, and I attribute this to the excellent chassis. It's a ridiculously fun car to drive." "So, this thing's a driver?," we asked. "Hell, yeah," Pat shot right back. That, friends, is what happens when you got your mojo working, on stage or behind the wheel.
