The Gambler 514 was created by the Super-Team of Jeff Georges, Phil Brewer, Jr., Jimmy Kerlin, Bobby Mikus, Gregg Bond, Bill Cate, Kevin Byrd, Greg Coleman, Carl Richmond, Bryan Fuller, Revo and Zack Merril joined Team Captain Chip Foose at the world famous SEMA Show in Las Vegas. SEMA is the Superbowl of auto parts and accessories, one of the world's largest conventions, and there at the center of it all was Overhaulin', redoing a 1970 Mustang for a local Vegas man.

The mark's name: Barry. Barry's son Brent was Overhaulin's Insider, spinning yarns and making with the lies. The whopper that started it all had Brent losing his dad’s much-loved Mustang by way of a gambling debt. As the team worked on the car in the spotlight of The SEMA Show, Barry met a few of our Overhaulin' Players, posing as shady characters who wanted to strike a deal regarding Barry's Mustang and Brent's debt. As the deal was finally struck, the car was completed. Barry later arrived at SEMA for the shock of his life.

• BFG 265x30  zr20 in the rear  91y Flame foot print tires

• There are actually three sets of rims like this in the world. Chip has a set on his black and white 69 Camaro which can be seen at the Unique Performance web site, then this set was made at SEMA for the car. Originally the car had a set of BFG Full race slicks that had large pony heads cut into the tread, about ten heads would go around the diameter of one tire so when you went through water as you roll away there would be pony heads on the ground. After SEMA, I didn't see these tires for awhile, and then out of the blue one day I spoke with Chip Foose about an upcoming show in Phoenix. I mentioned how we would like to have the pony tires. He told me he was sorry but the tires would not be ready in time, "not ready" I said "They were already made, how could they not be ready I watched them get made? Foose replied "Oh I decided to make a second set of rims so you wouldn't have to switch out the rubber at shows all the time."  It goes without saying I was floored. I was already a fan of Chips' now I'm a disciple, I can't say enough about Chip Foose.
