BERGER ZL-1 DELIVERY

Who's going? I am following Stuber up on Friday night. We are going to take delivery of our cars,.... again! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif Sounds like around 16 or 17 2002 ZL-1's will be there. Awesome! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[mc25t190]

thats not fair , that means you are going to have twice as much fun as i had at the gibb event, wish i could join you and the gang! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Kevin, have Sandlin pick you up! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[LVCamaro]

Dave; if you see anyone driving #15 before 11:00 AM on Sunday...it's a stolen car. You know the drill.

[MotownMadman]

See you guys all there, if you want to know some things to do on Saturday evening, restaurants, nightclubs, etc,etc, give me a call 1-888-606-4666, this is the area I live.
Thanks,

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif We'll keep an eye on it for you. Barker is the one to worry about. He uses the line-lock at every stop sign! That is why Murphy puts vaseline on the rear quarters on the Berger cars! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[barker]

Motown,
It will be nice to finally meet you. We will be at the dealership Sat afternoon and evening unloading cars and probably having some refreshments. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif It should be an awesome time. Come early, stay late, thats Murphy's Motto.

[MotownMadman]

Dennis,
Anything you would like me to bring? Cars, motorcycles, Canadian whiskey, wild women, bleach for the burnouts you will be doing in everybody else's ZL-1? Electronic Xmas Tree maybe? How bout some barricades to block off 28th st like we used to do on Woodward way back when? If you think of anything other than the above items, let me know with at least a two hour warning!

Motown,
I have only heard good things about you and now with evrything you are bringing to the event I have to totally agree !! See you there !
Dennis /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[LVCamaro]

Matt; Bring a slim-jim and your ignition switch bypass, then find that yellow #3 and meet me out back. It's the test car for the event, so there's no need to get permission. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[LVCamaro]

Okay Barker...there's 3 empty trailers in Murphy's parking lot this morning. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[Charley Lillard]

OK...Picture this since I didn't have my Camera with me...New ZL1's are being unloaded at 1:30 in the Morning at Berger. There are probably 75 People here including anxious new Owners. Cars are Rumbling, paint schemes are all Cool. The Clock reaches 3:00 am and I'm whining that I'm tired and wanna go to sleep but I'm not gonna let Helen Gibb outlast me. I'm pretty sure she did though as she was still up and Partying when I left. I will try to take some pics today. WOW.... And I wish I Managed a Home Depot.

[KLONECO]

You better have proof that you had a camera!!!!!!!!!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[MotownMadman]

Hey guys, just got home from the Bergerfest. What a success! Unbelievable day, very touching situation with emotions running high. Helen Gibb autographing all the new ZL-1's. Dennis Barker so excited and overcome with emotion he was choking up trying to talk to the crowd, and at the head of the whole building, guess who had the two cars that were stars, sitting right next to each other, the new and the old #3 ZL-1's, with our guy Charley getting VIP recognition as well he should. I got about 30 pictures guys, I never have tried the attachment thing here cause I am clueless on how to downsize or whatever you have to do, I can put them up on a host page or Email a Zip file to anyone who has a huge mailbox. I got some great ZL-1 Supercar/Berger T-Shirts autographed by Helen Gibb which are like Piccasso's to me. What a great day for this hobby!
Thanks,

Motown- my mail box will hold it. [email protected]

I would appreciate the pics.

Sounds like a blast, wish I would have been there.

[MotownMadman]

I am currently Emailing Hawaii Jeff the Zip file of photos so he can do his computer magic and post here.
Motown /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[82z96ss]

Motown- would you mind emailing them to me so I may have the full size pics instead of the scaled down version.

Thanks,

Trying to add to my collection of at least one pic of every ZL1 delivered.

[Charley Lillard]

Been there...done that..

Thanks for posting them HawaiinCamaro. Congrats to all the new owners.

Did anyone let the rubber fly and smoke them tires?

[Jeff Murphy]

Just one more reason why I need to move back to the States.../ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[Unreal]

Jeff, I recognize that ebay item. It's a prototype for a custom key cover that Berger planned to provide with all 69 Berger prepped Camaros.
That prototype was stolen from Mr Berger's desk in February of 1969, and has not surfaced until now. I can't wait to see what it bids to. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

[Mr70]

Who owns the Light Blue Camaro "Wonderful 1"?
That is an attractive Camaro!
Mrs. Gibb sure does do alot.She has more energy then most of us.God bless her for attending all these related functions and keeping the spirit going.
I hope I have half as much energy at that age,as well as Charleys age too... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[JChlupsa]

Now if those two guys will only stop moving around and I can get a good pic. Hey wait I'm the one shaking

[sixtiesmuscle]

O.K., everyone fold your arms now. What ever happened to "say cheese"?

[Belair62]

OK who is the guy with the pony tail....Mo is that you ? Wheres Charleys mug ?

[MotownMadman]

BelAir, Yup thats me! Looks like the Super Spy Southern California Dancing Chicken snuck up on me! Makes me realize how bad I need the hair club for men, maybe I will just cut of the ponytail and glue it on top!
Thanks,

[Belair62]

Go for it Mo....kind of like a wild comb over job !....You know I had this picture in my head and I figure you looked like Hagrid in the Harry Potter movie ! OK so I watch too many of my kids movies !!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[MotownMadman]

HARRY POTTER? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif Geez Bel Air, you need to get out more! I knew you were a bit eccentric, but not that much! Too much time on your hands buddy, today Harry Potter, tommorrow Prozac!

[Charley Lillard]

Hey...I read all the Harry Potter Books and bought both DVD's....and the Lord of the Rinds...... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[barker]

mr70,
Gib & Tammy Loudon added the "Wonderful 1" to their faboulous collection of Camaro's. It is way cool !! It is patterned after a '68 Camaro that our former sales manager drag raced in its day.
Dennis /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

[Mr70]

Thanks Dennis.
I was hoping someone would answer that.I have a set of NOS Paper Floor Protectors from 1967 that have "The Wonderful 1" printed on them.

[82z96ss]

Dennis or anyone else that will answer. What it the color that looks like a lime.

Is that one of the Berger paint jobs? I don't remember seeing it at GMMG. It looks pretty. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Any more pics of it??

[LVCamaro]

That's Matt Murphy's car, in frost green [I believe that's the color name I heard]. I'll bet Matt has a pile of pics that he'd email to you.

SS

[MotownMadman]

SS, Frost Green it is, a 69 Camaro color. Photo 26, the car behind the orange one which is a light purple is a 65 Chevy color.
Thanks,
Motown /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[JChlupsa]

Looks like a 68 color to me Ash Gold but then again my 68 is that color or should I say will be again

[LVCamaro]

I believe that color is called "Evening Orchid".

SS

[MotownMadman]

Steve, you got a pretty sharp memory for spending so much time in the sun! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Motown /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[JoeC]

looks like everyone was there except for the old Berger poster girl posing in her Berger windbreaker /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[LVCamaro]

...and "Crocus Yellow" is the color of Mo's forearms. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Also Matt; I didn't notice any shifter bruises on your left boot, so I tend to believe the R.U.B theory. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

SS

[MotownMadman]

Steve, I had to break out the wedding/funeral cage boots, if I came the way I usually dress that wouldnt have let me in. Society is still real judgmental to a biker unless you are a RUB! But if I had a plane as nice as yours, I would be flying it myself. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Motown /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[LVCamaro]

I understand. Hey, I forgot to mention that I thought it was very nice of you to bring your daughter out to the Berger event. She seemed like a nice lady, and obviously a very tolerant and patient person. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

SS

[MotownMadman]

Real funny Steve, real funny. My daughter! You A hole, you know d@m well that was my wife! Arent we the wise guy today, eh? By the way, you got any extra daughters?

BTW i married a young and restless, holds this car thing over my head often, a lot of leverage and usually works to her favor, but, i still love her, i just cave in /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[LVCamaro]

My only "extra" one grew up at your place. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[MotownMadman]

SS, By the way, the wife says thanks for the compliment, she thinks you are a great looking guy and if you were only 20 or so years younger she would be all over you! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif That remark made me realize I need to head for the tanning booth! Tell ya what, I will trade you the wife for one of your top flight Supercars!(Hope she dont read this!) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif On a serious note, give me a ring, I think I may have a car you might be interested in.

I know a long time has pasted since these pictures were taken, but does anyone know who own's the '02 HOT ROD in this picture? In August of "05 I was lucky enough to become the 2nd owner of a sebring silver, t-top HOT ROD. It would be nice to know if this is that car. (#1974) The first owner was Chuck DeGraaf.
