Brownsville Classics Car Club President (Ret.) Roy Aja

Let's take a look back at Roy Aja, former president of the Brownsville Classics Car Club now living in Houston, Texas with a small sample of his work.  

Roy Aja and his "1969 Mustang 302, modified 302, 4 barrrel Holley, Flowmasters, MSD box, very fast and also a show car"

 "Barn find: I found this 1956 Ford in a barn in Banquete, Texas. I'm presently restoring and hope to finish by late summer, presently it is 65% restored."

In an update from 2010 Aja reports the '56 is " 85% restored, need new wheels, electrical hookups and final buff and polish. Took one year to restore.

 "My 68 Stang with a modified 289, this was my show car, won several awards at local car shows. Sold it"

Brownsville Classics Car Club was exclusively for custom cars and rods with an emphasis on restored classics in original form.  The organization is no longer active in the community.

Roy Aja moved to Houston, Texas a few years and is a cancer survivor.  We met back in 2008 or so when the BCCC helped organize a car show at Washington Park to benefit the nearby Historic Brownsville Museum.  We'll probably never see anything like that again unless the new generation of car aficionados takes the lead and organizes car shows so we don't have to travel to to the upper valley for those rare occasions these are taken out of storage for public viewing.
