Keep the photos coming....for those that are "snowed in"

Bruce well done. Thanks for posting! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[WILMASBOYL78]

Photos are great! Thanks for bringing a little sunshine into our snow covered world..... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Mr70]

Very considerate of you to do that Bruce. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Belair62]

Although that 68 Biscayne looks like a modern build...it floats my boat !!! WOW

[Jeff H]

Wow, all those awesome looking cars and I'm stuck staring at 2 feet of snow! We need more pictures! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[hvychev]

Wow Bruce looks like a lot of quality cars were there!

Man.........how neat would it be throw on some shorts, a Hawiian shirt, shades, and head out to a car show right now...........(sigh)........ http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Xplantdad]

Frank,

I'm not kidding...this place is always like this. On a normal Saturday night, if you want to show your car(and you're not with a club, you have to get there by 4:15pm to get a decent spot to display your car. There were probably 500 cars there by the time we left at 5:20pm.

Last year, the Saturday of Barrett Jackson, someone actually counted 3200 cars being shown!

Hop a plane and come out! You're welcome at my place anytime.

Here's picture of a Mustang that I forgot to post...428 ci.

I will get pictures at B-J tomorrow. We took the jet skis to the lake this morning...the water was a bit nippy...but it was fun.


Bruce

[Chris396]

Nice. I've got to take my cousin in Pheonix's offer to come out one of these days and attend the auction.

[427TJ]

Yeah, I gotta' go with that altered Biscayne with the bitchin' 427 side marker emblems. Too bad the hood was closed. That thing would probably pop a wheelie no problem.

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Belair62]

I was trying to put that car out of my mind dammit !!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[427TJ]

Hey Belair--BUILD ONE! The hard part is deciding which car to go with. Any Biscayne would do nicely. I'd do a '61. Rat, Muncie, 4:88 Posi, Americans or Cragars but they gotta' be SKINNY in front. How 'bout a chrome straight axle with no brakes? White fenderwell headers. Maybe a Moon tank? Ladder bars that go way forward. Better put casters under the rear bumper and watch for cops...

YA WIT'ME???

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Belair62]

Stop it dammit...stop it...there was an AWB 62 Belair at a Shell station on Dempster and Greenwood back in about 68 or 69....blue tinted windows...it's etched in my mind still !!!

Yea....then we can call you "altered wheel base Bob" or AWBB for short. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hey Bob...whatca know about the 62 Super Duty...ever seen that particular car?

Actually, I took those car shots because I knew you'd get a kick out of the AWB Biscayne

Bruce

[Belair62]

I wonder if it's areal SD car.....if it is an aluminum car he would be nuts to let people get that close !

[Canucklehead]

There was the 62 Super Duty "Grey Ghost" up for sale at the auction, but i see it has been removed from the list.

[Bill Pritchard]

Thanks for the pics, Bruce. Hot damn - 48 hours from now I WILL BE THERE!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Stuart Adams]

Cool, we would hate you cold country folks to catch fire so bring your Sunblock!! Should be an awesome show with many eye openers as usual. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Xplantdad]

Bill, Stuart and everyone else who's coming. Please stop by my booth...407-408.

Attached pic shows what it looks like... it's right outside the doors in the photo...with the Desert Motorsports Banner.

Crappy pic... I know...But I had to save the storage card for car photos!

I have 91 pics ready to go...anybody want to see them?

Bruce

[Belair62]

Uh ...yeah......

[Xplantdad]

Thanks Bob...they will be posted in the "Other events" Barrett Jackson Post...I already have the clone ZL-1 pics there.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Charley Lillard]

I think I heard Bruce has volunteered to be our official stopping off point. Leave my Jacket, junk, stupid purchases.....

[Xplantdad]

Yea Charlie,

I'll have my guys watch it...while I watch the auction http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Or you can leave your purchases at my house. I promise not to tell your wife what you bought! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[markjohnson]

That 68 Biscayne AWB is probably the one from St. Louis. I had heard that it was sold to someone in Arizona. It was parked in back of a repair shop about one block from my house about 10 years ago. Anyway that car is a real 427 425HP L72 car when new and the wheelbase was altered very early in the car's life. It used to be yellow with flames and was quite well known in St. Louis as a street racer,even ending up on its roof one night during a race!

[Mr70]

Charley
The Crowd at Barrett-Jackson has agreed to watch over one of your purchases.

[Xplantdad]

Hey Mark,

Can we see some pics of your AWB 65 Chevelle?

I thought that Biscayne was soooo http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Belair62]

Mark..I'm not listening !!! Dammit that is cool..if thats a real 425 that was altered back then....I'm extra glad I'm in Illinois right now !! BTW MOTION....thats a 61 Buick !!

[Xplantdad]

BISCAYNE(orange)BISCAYNE(orange)AWB!

BOB...That AWB is calling your name...!

[DWCamaro69]

I am going to be in Vegas Tuesday thru Friday and have all day Thursday free. How long of drive to Scottsdale and would I be able to get in to the festivities?

[Charley Lillard]

I don't know how long the drive is but you can get in.

[Denis]

MapQuest says 6 hours / 305 miles from Las Vegas to Scottsdale.

[Bill Pritchard]

I believe I have pics of that AWB 68 Biscayne back in the late 70's at one of the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals where I was a participant...as I recall, it was yellow with red flames or something....

[Buff]

Oldmobile

[Bill Pritchard]

I knew I had a pic of that Biscayne...August, 1978 NHRA Street Machine &amp; Van Nationals in Tulsa, OK...I'm sure it's the same car per the info that Mark provided in an earlier post.

[Mr70]

Good Picture Bill!

[Xplantdad]

Yep...that has to be the same car...notice the wheelie bars on both cars.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v645/xplantdad/ffoo2.jpg


Totally [img]http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif Bill!

Belair...are you looking?

[markjohnson]

Yeah, that's the car from St. Louis. It was originally built by Hollie Swindahl(sic). He was well known as owner/builder/driver of the Backup Pickup in the sixties. It was an early Ford truck exhibition vehicle similar to Maverick's Little Red Wagon, only it wheelied backwards down the dragstrip! He still owns it to this day. Back to the Biscayne, a friend of mine owned it back in the seventies and then it was passed around quite a bit around the area. He said it was quite a rough ride but it would go on the back bumper at will.

[Xplantdad]

Cool Stuff Mark... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Any chance you may post a pic of your AWB Chevelle?

[markjohnson]

I sold the Chevelle several months back. It was a modern project car that never got very far along. I was searching for a real car with race history and ended up buying the ex-Braun Bros. 1955 Chevy C/Gasser last summer. Straight axle, magnesium 5-spokes, and lots of engine setback.

[Belair62]

The more I look at the Biscayne...it looks like it needed a tad less rear altering and maybe a pinch of front to look more "even"...that sure is a lot of overhang un the back !

[Xplantdad]

Cool Mark....Thanks for the info on the Biscayne.

We wouldn't mind if you wanted to post pics of the gasser http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[Belair62]

Yeah cut loose with a pic of the 55 Mark !

[markjohnson]

Attempt to post.

[markjohnson]

Yeah I know, not really a supercar but still a load of fun to drive on the street. This car was raced by the Braun Bros. with a Hilborn injected 301 from 1964-67 then stored for many years. It has the original magnesium wheels put on in 1964, Kellison Car Co. 'glass tilt nose and doors, 57 Olds rear, lots of engine setback and a tranverse spring straight axle up front. I'm currently trying to shove a really nasty rat motor and 4 speed in it. Really tight with the motor next to your legs!

[Xplantdad]

Mark,

That is cool http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Thanks for posting the pic! Post some more when you're ready.

[Belair62]

Very very http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif...put in a nice blown and injected smallblock !

Actually, the 55 is metalflake orange. Doesn't show up well in photos. Thanks for the comments.

Speaking of totally sick '55 Chevys. Note driver position.

[55chevy]

Bud that looks like a pic from one that was sold on Ebay awhile back. Wonder where it went. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[budnate]

I don't think it hit e bay??? or did it??, you have a link to it???

I bought my '68 Camaro from the guy and he had this up for sale on a local classified add a couple weeks later..I posted it up incase someone wanted it, maybe that's what you recall??? cool car but man it was rough it sat out in the rain up here for a long time with no cover over it...
I planned on asking the guy where it went..I just have not been by to see him....

[55chevy]

it was on ebay quite a while back.. I know I got the pics somewhere.. link is long gone I'm sure

[budnate]

missed it...I thought the local add would have sold it right away...like I said looks cool until you looked inside then you shook your head and said do I really want to tackle this car....there was nothing inside but the pedals and the columm...the floor boards were that real dark rust color..I didnt even want to push on them with my finger for fear the whole thing would hit the ground..
