Pavillions Pre-Auction week...BJ at Pavillions

[Xplantdad]

Lynn, Holly and I took the daily driver to Pavillions after we dropped Reid off at Sky Harbor for his plane flight home and back to SEMO for school. It was great to have him at our house for a bit over a week. He's a great kid!

At Pavillions, the &quot;usuals&quot; were there....Dave Oscher and his wife Nancy and son Greg, Sizzler Wayne, Shaun Price, Stan, etc. It's always a pleasure to see them! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

We also met up with Mike Guarise, Stefano, Colin, Mike Angelo and Ed Montini. We were supposed to meet up with Dick (Ohhawk) but we just missed him <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif

Here are a few pics...The place was CRAZY busy...so I can only imagine what next Saturday will be like! I spent more time talking than taking pics....sorry!

Here we go!

This should look familiar...and will appear on our local TV tonight (I wonder how that happened? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif )

VERY cool...GM Firebird show car...that was the 1973-1976 Trans Am GM Styling exercise show car...they changed the sheetmetal to adapt it to the &quot;current year&quot;...still wearing the original show paint.

I met the owner of this car today and it will be on the local news tonight as well...Hmmmm, I wonder how that happened <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif PS, more on this special car HERE!!!! (http://1973-76transamconcept.com/history.html)

Bruce,

I loved seeing the '69 H/O's. Everyone loves patina now, but when I got my car, it would have looked like I was too lazy to do a job. They are time machines!!!! Non air cars were more plentiful in the day, but it seems like more of the air cars survived.

Thanks again for your coverage!!!

Bruce,

Just seeing this today. I've been to busy between work and finishing up this Daytona Yellow car. It's a real big block air RS, T400. The Yellow one is my car and the Hugger Orange car is my friend John's car, both are for sale. I ran into the guy who literally ran into it and he is supposed to provide me some pics of when they found it tomorrow. The car has a distinct vin and he remembered it. It was in the back yard of a foreclosed house they bought in west Phoenix some 20 yrs ago. They were clearing brush in the back yard with a tractor and didn't see the car until they ran into the rear quarterpanel with the tractor. I saw you walk by at one point but was not able to break away to say hi. I will be back up there tomorrow so may see you there in the chaos.

[Xplantdad]

Dave...that's awesome! I will look for you tomorrow! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

Is Pavillions every weekend ? Going to AZ in March to see baseball games and would like to check it out.

[m22mike]

Yes, every Saturday, slows down when it is real hot.

So this is a Sat nite cruise, year 'round? Where is this place! The wife and I are on a roadtrip vacation from NY to LA in May , this would be a great stop to time right on the way through AZ. Surely its this packed out due to BJ circus coming to town?

cheers Dave

[m22mike]

It is at the Scottsdale AZ. Pavillions shopping center @ 9140 E Indian Bend Rd. And right off the Loop 101 freeway. In and around McDonnalds.
No it is not this crazy like the few weeks around the auction's. But it is still outstanding. It slows down allot during the summer because of the 100+ degree temps.

Note to Bruce:

Can you find the Google map location you posted a few years ago ?

Mike

[Xplantdad]

Mike,

I'll try!

[Ngtflyr]

It's right next door to the Talking Sticks spring training facility that opened last year for the D-Backs and Rockies. Go to a spring training game there, then walk a couple hundred yards to the car show. I haven't went to a game there yet but it's a state of the art facility, it'll be the top dog until the Cubs new facility (Wrigley West) gets built soon, not sure if they've broke ground yet but it is supposed to open in time for next year's spring training.
