Pavillions-April Fools Day!

[Xplantdad]

I notice that there are some awesome pictures being posted of the cars at Vettefest...but I figure that the more pictures the better... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I met up with Jim Ross (SS4REAL) tonight. He was at Pavillions with his wife and son enjoying the cars. It was nice to meet you JIM and family! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I saw Sam Griffith, too! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[jeff morocco]

bruce, i noticed that you rarely post pictures of the same car. are there that many different cars that come each week ? of the cruises that i go to out here , there are usually only 1 or 2 new cars each week , and the rest are the die hard cruisers ! not complaining though , i could look at the same cars all day every day !!!!

[Xplantdad]

Jeff...good catch! I try not to repeat any of the cars...but since I've been doing this for while...there are bound to be a few repetitions.

One reason that I might repeat a car...is if it's a "work in progress"...Or if Mr. Wiemann(sp?) brings out a calvacade of cars (the guy with all of the rare Mopar stuff)....then I try to get a group shot at least...

At my advancing age...it's hard to keep track of what I have...and haven't shot!

Jeff...there are SOOOO many cool cars out here...it's unbelieveable! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Sam, I noticed those tires, too! Wow, 4:56 geared...and those skinny little tires http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

According to the owner, the car came from the factory with a 3 speed...because the 4 speed couldn't handle the power of the super stock 413 http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[mockingbird812]

Jeff M. - it never ceases to amaze me, and I hope to never take it for granted, the incredible, seemingly endless assortment of nice, unusual cars that come out of the "woodwork" on a regular basis.

Cars of note last evening: That dual quad, 4spd '60 vette with white paint and turquoise interior was stunning- what a neat color combo. Looked even better in person - no offense Bruce!

The red 4spd 340 Duster ('71 or '72). This is a survivor car with low miles, docs, and original paint (beautiful condition). Car is for sale at $36K and is owned by Bill Wiemann - Let me know if any are interested.

The '64 Ply. Savoy (black) 426 Mx Wedge, 727 push button. Not a real one (started life as a 318). Paint on this car was 10 miles deep and stunning. With that red interior, it is simply killer. Car is also for sale - $75K.

The fella in the picture with me is Don (aka Mr. Olds). Knows a thing or two about the mid year Olds. Next week he will be debuting his latest accomplishment: '66 F85 (442 option), 4 speed in Autumn Bronze (a killer color that doesn't sound so great but is just beautiful). This is a knuckle-dragger car to be sure. Radio/heater delete, rubber floor mat, bench seat, 3.91 limited slip. Be prepared to be wowed next week. Never was a big fan of the mid-year boxy 442s until I saw what this guy could do with them (Don't dare tell Don I said that). Now-let's see just how good Xplantdad's archive retrieval system is: The twin to this car (same color + 4 speed, but cutlass 442) was finished last year by Don and sold to a local fellow and has made a few appearances at the Pavillions). Hope to have both of these cars side-by-side next week.

Always enjoy your pictures, thanks for the weekly effort. Also enjoy the point system you use when judging these fine autos....very cool, really cool, cool, neat, nice, really nice, and very nice.

It's the way all car shows should be judged in my opinion.

[mockingbird812]

In 1962 for the bottom-rung Savoys, side view mirrors, and back up lights were options, as was a radio (can't even call this a radio-delete car http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif ). This car had none of these. Surprisingly, for its day, this was a high-optioned Savoy because it did have a heater, seat belts, HD Borg Warner 3 speed, and the Super Stock 413 motor checked off on the order sheet.

Looks like your archive retrieval system is hittin' on all cylinders, Bruce! Beautiful 442 for sure....but how about that sky in the background http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

BTW, your first pic of the white 69 Chevelle convertible.....odds are it's really a small block Malibu with added-on SS396 emblems. Has the Malibu trim on the lower body sides that would NOT have been on an SS396 http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif

Nice job, Bruce. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif You nailed it (knew you would). Just had to build up the suspense, you know. Will tie a string around my finger to remind me to take my camera with me.

[SS4Real]

Bruce,

Great to finally meet you and your wonderful family as well. I've enjoyed seeing your pictures week after week when I'm stuck in the middle of winter and the snow has my Chevelle trapped in the garage. There are some great cars there for sure. You're walking down the rows with normal cars and up pops a Ford GT, prancing F430 or that winged Hemi Daytona for $230k. You don't see that in Bend Oregon!

[Xplantdad]

Jim...like I said the pleasure was all mine. PM me the next time you're heading this way and we'll do a BBQ or something beforehand. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
