Photos from MCACN 2014

[mrays]

I spend most of the day yesterday at the show and would like to thank Bob and his crew for the great show they put on each year. The cars were amazing and the place was packed all day. I had a great time and took a few pictures as well. I was trying out a new camera so hopefully they turn out ok on here. My only critique is that some of the cars were parked practically door handle to door handle making them kind of hard to view much less shoot pictures of them. The majority of the crowd was checking out the muscle car displays and the large area housing the modified cars was virtually empty. Having a few less modified cars would allow the muscle cars to be more spread out along with the crowds enjoying them. Here are a few of the better photos I took.

L89 Showcase:

Chris Short's 69 El Camino

Thanks for posting the beautiful pictures. MCACN looks amazing, and on my list of events I have to make sometime soon.

So many nice cars, but for some reason that '69 RS/SS Hugger Orange Camaro on page 1 just looks like a standout.

Thanks again.

J. Bourcier's 69 Judge RAIV.

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics/usergals/2014/11/full-18308-18811-dscn0075.jpg

Anyone know anything else about this RAIV Judge? It looks just like one I had the opportunity to purchase at Carlisle in the '80's. The one I almost bought had been a POCI champion and, at the time, I think they wanted $10,000. for it. Love the sound of those RAIV cars at idle.

Thanks for posting all of these great pictures; looks like a great show that keeps getting better each year.

AWESOME pics -- thanks for sharing ... TAZ

Great pics guys. Thanks.

Great pics, thank you for posting!

Here's a couple more. Setup day was interesting to say the least! We had to move cars several times to make room for some &quot;fashionably late&quot; arrivals. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

[StealthBird]

The 1967 SS (paint by Custom Cars in La Grange, IL) was stunning. The owner showed me some pics from the original owner where he took delivery of the car before dealer prep. Still had the plastic covering on the top, minus centercaps and trim rings. Just an incredible restoration.

[StealthBird]

Gee, I wonder what's under this cover? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

[StealthBird]

Showing a little love for the forgotten one, the 1974 GTO. Beautiful car, and rarely seen Sport trim.

Getting the certification process done....

Every color for 1969 Boss 429's were on display, and a survivor Grabber Blue one to boot!

This was an amazing 1964 Mercury Park Lane, and the owners were very friendly talking about its unique history. This was the actual car that Mercury built to be used on the Ford Magic Skyway ride at the 1964 World's Fair. This ride consisted of real Ford and Mercury cars (including Mustangs) riding on a rail, traveling through time, back to the age of dinosaurs (Disney developed the ride, and later used elements of this creative attraction for their Universe Of Energy ride in Epcot Center).

This was the actual Mercury that was used in the ride, so thousands and thousands of butts were in those seats! It's an absolutely stunning restoration, and one of those cars that you can't just open up a catalog to order repro parts for.

These pics were from the setup day, so they didn't have the pics and photos displayed yet.

No 67 Chevelle pics? I'm looking for my old car.

[The Dude]

No Oldsmobiles?

My favorite car at the show <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[mrays]

There were a number of cars I wanted to take pictures of, but I wasn't able to due to the cars being parked too closely together to get a worthwhile shot or the lighting not being very good. I didn't see very many Oldsmobiles there. Remember, there were a bunch of W cars there last year. There were two 70 W-30 cars in the Vintage Certification area and I believe there was a 70 Olds Indy Pace Car. The only 67 Chevelle I remember seeing was a convertible, but it was back in a dark corner.

Stefano had his 1970 W31 Olds there <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

Not as many Oldsmobiles as previous shows. But they had their moment in the spotlight the past couple of years. A very good year for Buicks &amp; Pontiacs though. A fun show but it seemed a little less populated this year. Maybe it is the economy or the state of the country. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif

[Stefano]

Not as many as when we did the W-Machine and W-30 rag top or Hurst Olds display, but Olds was well represented throughout the show and attendance was up for the 6th year in a row : )

Thanks to everyone who participated and helped to Make MCACN VI the very best one yet.

Like to see pics of the 64 GTO in the background. We are building two 64's. One is a white hardtop. Came from factory as a four barrel auto but owner immediately had a tri power put on it. After the dealer could not get it to work right my grandfather got it working. He was a Chrysler guy but known for his tune ups.

[A12pilot]

My eyes are still in B&amp;W mode as I type this. What a retina searing, intoxicating, and vision impairing show this turned out to be. I can't imagine the streets back in the day looking like this. How the heck we were focused enough to put a man on the moon with all of these mechanical masterpieces being engineered is more of an enigma wrapped in a riddle than the JFK assassination is!!!

I feel as if I'm six years old and know that Christmas is over. That empty feeling in your gut as friends pull their trailers out for the long ride home. Just so sad it ended so soon and it literally was a BLINK. I fly for a living, and you know, this is probably the fastest I've traveled in my life.

This entire show after I tallied up all the receipts for us to come up from TX was over $3800. I wasn't up for any award. I wasn't being judge to have my car in &quot;Kryptonite&quot; status or anything like that. That was all on my dime. But to see a friend I hadn't seen in 13yrs and my lovely bride be the center iof attention for a day? Priceless......

Truly an honor to meet some of you. II hope I see everyone again!

Cheers http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics/usergals/2014/11/full-18993-18898-image.jpg

Nice crisp photos mrays &amp; Stealthbird.
Love your eye,and clear detailed close up shots too.

[SeattleCarGuy]

Thanks for sharing all the great photos. Really wish I would have been there. However, we have a 5 year old and 5 month old at home, so the wife said &quot;no way&quot;. I'll be there for sure next year with my then 6 year old. Will make a great father/son weekend.

[StealthBird]

The Eldon Palmer 1971 Indy Pace Car (yes, it lives!) was also on display, along with several other real Indy Pace Cars that actually paced the race, not just replica versions sold to the public. We spent a lot of time with Gary from Level One Restorations at this spectacular Indy 500 Pace Car Exhibit.

I think the Charlotte Pace Car Camaro was my favorite though.

[Salvatore]

I like the gal putting on lipstick in the chevelle photo. Period correct!

[StealthBird]

A couple big boats! The 1967 Pontiac 2+2 4-speed was outstanding, the Buick was breathtaking. Another one of those cars that you can't simply open up a catalog and order repro parts for, the chrome work just for the front grille and bumpers must have cost more than some of the cars at the event! Those are real wire baskets too.

[PLATINUM6BBL]

Was an amazing show! I typically don't like car shows (as they bore me to death) this one I would try to do again though. Had a great time meeting and talking to some great people. Didn't take many pics as I knew there would be many taken by others. Did get surprised Sunday when Apex Autosports picked my Runner for a sponsor pic! Thanks Apex!
I think the sexiest car there was the black Cougar Eliminator. Man that car was superb!

A beautiful black Cougar, and then a blue XR-7 convertible 428CJ 4-speed from the Styles Collection (the red one next to it is also theirs). The blue XR-7 was tagged as a &quot;Test Car&quot; on the Marti Report.

Our friend Tim Dye from the Pontiac Museum brought out ex-Pontiac Engineer Tom Goad's 1973 Grand Am Wagon, a special one-off that Tom had built for him (it was nice being in the Pontiac Engineering Department in the 60's and 70's), and the invoice shows the car was billed to Tom, not to a dealer. Only the second such invoice we've ever found like that. The car was built as a loaded 1973 LeMans station wagon, then Pontiac Engineering converted it to the Grand Am nose, they added the 1973 Ram Air setup (1 of only 5 known to exist, and Tom Goad owns 2 of the 5 known Ram Air setups), and they added a powered sunroof, another option never available on the wagons. A truly unique car, it was proposed to Pontiac, and thus became a prototype.

That 1973 GTO was really sharp, especially with the greenish stripe.

I also dug the 1965 Belvedere I 426-S sedan,the Adriatic Blue Trans Am, and the 1-of-3 black Eliminator.

This one?

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics/usergals/2014/11/full-18271-18860-image.jpg

Yep. The car looks pretty good too. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif

[442w30]

1 of 3 black Eliminators. Owner has two of 'em, the other being a Boss 302.

[RST]

We are very lucky to own the Black 428 SCJ Eliminator, we are starting the Restoration of the Black Boss 302 Eliminator (the only known Black Boss 302 Car Ford ever made) we will start the restoration of this car Jan 1st with assistance from Kerry Wortman (ford 428 and boss 302 industry expert), Dave W. (owner of the Eliminator registry) Kevin Marti, Scott Fuller, Don Rush (West Coast Cougar Classics) and Frank Bowers, who has owned 17 Boss Eliminators and started the Eliminator Registry. The Black Boss Eliminator will be built to absolute concours specification with a full team of experts consulting on the build ....... its an amazing car, mostly original paint, 2 full build sheets, and full inspection by Kevin Marti at his facility in Arizona. I cant wait to get started on this project and debut it at the 2015 Muscle Car Nationals <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif The car will be built by the experts a Mascar Auto in Costa Mesa Ca.
