I don't want to start any fights here, but is anyone going to Pigeon Forge this weekend for the muscle car invitation show? I think it may give the wife and I an excuse to take a long weekend in Tennesse.

Be sure to visit Floyd Garrett's muscle car museum in Sevierville. He always has a great collection on display and well worth your time.

I always encourage members of this board to visit Floyd's collection if they are in the Southeast. He has considerable knowledge of many of the muscle cars we all enjoy and remember.

Have fun with your new car and enjoy it.

Just got back from Pigeon Forge! Man, what a nice show! I have never seen that many different makes of "rare" cars in one place before. The Lopata's did a great job setting this show up. I will post some pics a little later. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

I get the privilege of seeing Randys stuff before,during, and after the restoration is complete, and as always its awesome, that particular car is a 28,000 original mile car,he did not replace the interior or carpet, it was that nice to begin with! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Will Randy M. Bring the B/M 70 Camaro to VetteFest Nov.21-23?
T Billigen
10-07-2003, 11:41 PM
I asked him if he was coming to Vette Fest. He said he would try but could not make any promises. His work keeps him real busy and he has a hard time making plans to attend many shows.

Tom, the Yenko looked great! Sorry I did not get to meet you this weekend.

Thanks to everyone who came, everyone of the cars were awesome!!! Thanks to the Lopatas also, job well done. It was good to meet Alan Colvin also.........RatPack..... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif

I had the privilege to be parked by Kevin's cars! The Nova and the ZL1 are outstanding restos! Ricky does an outstanding job and by the looks of how many cars he has in his shop he will keep busy for a long time!!! I also got to meet Buford, Ricky's sidekick. Super nice guy! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Nice cars Tom and Kevin, How many supercars were in attendance?
T Billigen
10-11-2003, 12:32 PM
I think there was around 60? pretty close distribution between GM, Ford and Mopar. There was some very rare cars there: Shelby Mustangs, (most signed by Shelby) Some Hemis, two "Boss 429s", a 1963 Max Wedge,Hemi Cuda, 427 Fairlanes, Patrick Joiner had a beautifully restored 65 Fuelie Corvette that has won alot of top awards also. Belky had his awsome ZL1 there also and he let my son drive in the parking lot, he is still talking about that!! Hey Joe, that NOS E-70 looks real good in my trunk!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Who owns that rally green Yenko now? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif They indeed restored that car several years ago, but I know the SCW didn't take any cars to that event, as I just spoke with bkh a few days ago.
T Billigen
10-11-2003, 09:42 PM
I think a place called "World Wide Muscle Cars"? has it for sale along with a couple of Shelby Mustangs. I don't know who the actual owner is? The Camaro still has the "Supercar Work Shop" license plate on the front. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif
