That's right, it's coming back! What did you guys think of the group of cars for 2016? Like the slide show? Like the cars? Hated the host?! Let me know!

We're always looking for cool cars to be submitted to the section! So think about it for this coming year.

Here's the cars of 2016.

Ryan,

You did a great job!! Amazing what is still out there. I love this section and would love to come back to it when I find another car eligible for such a cool display!! Thanks again for putting this together <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Cheers <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

Dave

PS: If I snag the car I'm after this year, I'll be bringing it for your section along with that former barn find of mine from 2014! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

[seventieshow]

The crowd that this display draws speaks for itself. I also find it reassuring that there are still cars out there to find.

[Tenney]

Good stuff! Looks like the Munster Vac bypassed the black '57 ...?

[bashton]

And we're off and running! First entry received this week and it's a good one.

Very real 1971 'cuda Funny Car. More on this one later...

And YES, applications are now being accepted for MCACN IX through our website, and links will be up next week for all five Official Host Hotels.

I will see if I can pull some strings on this car ....1957 unrestored Belair Injected convertible 1 of around 68 Best color combo 30K miles. Even the 60 year old soft top is original !!

[Charley Lillard]

Wow. Never seen that color on one before. Maybe you can also get your ass off the couch and come also.

[Tenney]

Super cool! Cadillac color? The surrounding props might make for an authentic &quot;as found&quot; display, too ...

[Lynn]

Looks like Dusk Pearl, which was a rpo color in 1957.

Not uncommon, just uncommon on a convertible fuelie.

[the427king]

As the saying goes in trifive circles. &quot;of the 60 or so produced fuelie convertibles, only 3000 have been found to date ,all red or black&quot; <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

[the427king]

Maybe you can also get your ass off the couch and come also

I was suppose to fly to go to Mecum today. Glad I didnt go to Ft laurdedale airport as previously planned.

[firstgenaddict]

Like I said Chuck that has to be the only Unrestored Dusk Pearl 57 Fuelie Belair conv left in existence.

[olredalert]

----I'm going to Mecum next Tuesday, Chuck. Like to meet up with you, but don't know quite how. Big place.....Bill S

[69hurstSC]

I'll see if I can convince my buddy who attended for the first time to pull something out of his sleeve.

[69hurstSC]

Look who's AMC is gracing the front page on MSN today!

Wow, that's cool it was on MSN. All I saw is that it was on Hot Rod's Website. That's awesome the AMX was lead shot!

[Devil]

Have you guys seen the newest issue of Muscle Car Review yet?

[A12pilot]

So freakin' cool, Ryan!!! I hope I can find another car to participate in this section again.:3gears: Stupendous job on arranging this section, and I cannot wait to see it this year!!!!:biggthumpup::biggthumpup::biggthumpup:

Cheers:beers:

[Devil]

Gotta get out there and looking!

[bashton]

Been communicating with a fine gentlemen from Canada who recently acquired what many will consider the "Holy Grail" of Mopars, and is working in joining us this year for the Barn Finds & Hidden Gems area. This one has been packed away for more than 40 years.

We have also confirmed an exceptionally rare and cool W31 Olds with drag history.

Already looking like another hot area for MCACN 2017!

Bashton

[Devil]

Wow, the lineup that is coming this year is blowing my mind, and going to be blowing out my back moving them all! But it will be well worth it.

[Devil]

Well I would like to say that it was a complete success, but I might be a bit bias.

What did you guys think? What could be better?

All the pictures are posted here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/hemipwr70/collections/72157689500769964/

Many "day of" videos on my facebook page (please like). https://www.facebook.com/TheAutoArchaeologist/

AND I am doing daily individual videos of each car from the Barn Finds section on my YouTube page. http://www.youtube.com/AutoArchaeology

Your feedback is appreciated.

Loved it. I went through it more than once.

[Mr70]

I thought it was real nice & put together very well.

[earntaz]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :biggthumpup::biggthumpup::biggthumpup::beers:

[Devil]

Just over half way through the videos, just started heading down the row of Mopars.
