Russo and Steele-Friday 2017

[Xplantdad]

Lynn, Holly and I went to Russo and Steele today as well. Russo has moved to a new location right next to Pavilions at Talking Stick (where the Pavilions car show is held every Saturday)

We met up with Stefano as soon as we got there. It's always a pleasure to hang out with Stefano! He had the stunning W30 done by the MASCAR guys....WOW, what a car!

We also ran into Bob Ashton at Barrett Jackson and also at Russo and Steele...and Darren Costello and his son Gavin made a surprise trip out to the auctions, too!

[Xplantdad]

And that was all from Russo and Steele...as the rains hit hard...and we weren't going to chance it with Holly! More tomorrow! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

[CamarosRus]

Anybody know if the Fathom Green 69 COPO Camaro pictured above is the infamous #27 ZL-1
recreation ???? or was it an Iron Block L72 COPO ???

[Xplantdad]

I can see if I can find out, Chuck!

[CamarosRus]

VIN # under the glass............I have list of 69 ZL-1's

Thanks

[Bill Pritchard]

I was there Thursday, when thankfully rain was not an issue. The new venue is an improvement over the old location, but it sucks to pay $10 to park <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif

Great move down there, 100% improvement. As far as the parking, is it possible that Russo has nothing to do with it ? It is Indian land I think ? And maybe they control it ? Just a thought.

I watched the current owner bid $27,500.00 before fees.

It did look cool <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif

[tkw31]

I'd probably take a point of that Corvette and Muscle-car judged 1000 point Olds W-30 for the puddle of coolant on the intake.

[HO455]

How did the 1970 Black W-30 do at the Russo auction? I did not have a chance to follow the B-J or Russo - Steele this year. It seems as though B-J did not get much attention this year. Not sure if the car list was not that interesting to the collecting community or if the market is not what it used to be.
