That's it for this week.....was great to meet the two Jakes, Gaggs, John P. and I always really enjoy my visits with Ken,such a great guy! He promised to bring the 37 Ford down after the Power Tour...have a fun and safe trip Ken.

Dan, sorry I missed you, we'll have to try harder next time!

Darren and Mark, we missed you as well....both had other commitments....no excuses next time boys!!!

[RPOLS3]

Thanks for posting the pictures Randy.

It was a perfect night, but even better was meeting everyone. The cars are only the reason to get together.

The display of big Pontiacs was really impressive (all 4 speed cars), Bob Gagliano's survivor 409 was a real time capsule to look at, Ken's car was perfection, Randy's Z-28 was unbelievable as well. My favorite of the night was that blue nova with the redlines and dog dish caps. Nice unrestored original 350 4 speed car.

Jake

[bigjake]

What a great time!! It was really nice to put faces on the people we talk to on the forum.Thanks for posting all the pictures of the great cars.There was even 3 Ferraris there! Gags--Your '64 is a perfect Survivor. Ken-Your '66 Biscayne is spot on! Loved Randy's Z-28. All these cars are special in some way, and especially to the people who owned them. Mrs. Jake and I enjoyed the whole show, and really enjoyed meeting/talking to all the guys! It was worth the 127 mile trip!

[Xplantdad]

Jake...you were among the coolest guys around!

Ken, Gags, Mike, Randy...they are all great people. I can understand not seeing any cars...and just BS'ing. I like it when that happens!


BTW, great pics guys!

AMEN! On ALL counts!

The '62 Ponch Convert brings back memories. Some friends of my parents bought a new '62 GP in that color. I always loved that car.

Thanks for the pix guys. Glad everyone had a good time and seeing Gags &amp; Ken chatting and smiling made me grin too.




Hope you all have a Great Memorial Day.

Great pics!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds like I missed a great show!!

[RPOLS3]

Randy-

This car was in your photos from 5/14 and was there again on the 28th - looks like a nice car, anybody have any information on it?

Thanks

Jake

[70 Forest Green Zee]

I know the guy who owns it Jeff, but I really don't know much about the car. I think it's an L34 350 horse 4 speed #'s matching but not sure. If there's something specific you want to know, I can find out.

[RPOLS3]

Thanks Randy - no big deal really, just have not seen it before and it looked pretty clean. I think it had A/C too?

Jake

[Mr.Nickey Nova]

Jake,he's there quite often.I would say he has owned it for about four years now and is a very nice car indeed.Can't go wrong with that color combo.
