Not Pavillions-But The Calif. Doughnut Cruise!

[Xplantdad]

I met up with Mark Sheppard (92646)and his brother-in-law at 6am on Saturday morning (after staying up until 2am on Friday night watching my nephew's band play in Fullerton http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif)

The cruise is located on Magnolia and Adams...and there were already 60+ cars there when I arrived at 5:50am http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Here we go!

Talk about a rare bird....I believe that's a one-year-only, maybe a 57 or 58 http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif It's a Studebaker Hawk with a few changes and Packard nameplates.

Thanks for the pics, Bruce http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif You on a travelin' kick this summer????

[ACSGARY]

Bruce,
That is my '68 Hemi Dart. You happened to see it on one of the rare appearences at Donut Derelicts. This car was actually built to my exacting standards by Greg Fernald of SS&AFX in New River, AZ. Greg took it to the huge Pavilions
Saturday Cruise there in Scottsdale back in January when he first finished it and before the bugs were worked out. I did all the detail work on the motor (472 cu. in., 650 HP)and I am now driving and showing it here in So. Cal.
I was born in Phoenix and love your beautiful State.
Keep posting those great pictures, and Thanks for these.

[Xplantdad]

Gary,

I thought that car looked familiar! I think Sam Griffith(Mockingbird812) on this site took some pictures of it at Pavillions, too. I *may* also have shots of it. Are you familiar with our weekly Pavillions pics that occur when it's cooler here?

Nice to have you on the site...and don't be a stranger! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[ACSGARY]

Bruce,
I am familiar with the Pavillions Cruise. In fact, after Greg finished the Dart, I picked it up at Pavillions on January 21st, which was the day after I sold my 1965 Dodge Coronet A990 Super Stock Recreation at Barrett-Jackson the previous night. You can see that car on their website (Lot #1025, sold that Friday night at 7:00PM). I took the car home, drove it three weeks, then sent it back to Greg for final prep. I got it back in May and I just finished all the final engine detail that you observed last weekend. Next time you are in California, call me (714-504-5368 Cell). We can take in a show together, and I'll give you a ride in the Dart.

[Xplantdad]

Wow Gary...I won't turn down your offer! By the way, I sent you a PM just now. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Also...check this out...look familiar? I think this is your old car http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

If you guys get together can you give me a call at 714-962-7650? It was great to see Bruce at the early morning show last week and I would go again in a heart beat. I think my Camaro will be back together by then and I can take it back out. Bruce was great to hang around with and your Dart was the highlight of the morning. I think we went by it about 10 times just to get another look. I try talking about old cars to my wife and kids but they just look at me like I am from another planet. So any chance I get to hang around some car people I appreciate.

I should be heading that way over Christmas http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

I saw and heard and felt that 68 Hemi Dart last January at Pavillons. Quite an assault on the senses.

[mssl72]

ACSGARY aka Gary Perkins. Gee, where do I know that guy from? It's been a few years Gary. I see you have yet another red Mopar. Welcome! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif

[ACSGARY]

It is indeed! Thanks for posting the pics. I don't even remember taking any pics at BJ. The car went to a collector in Ohio, who now has it for sale on Hot Rod Hotline for $195,000! What part of the word "CLONE" does he not understand? I wish him luck, but the real A-990's aren't bringing that much. But the hammer price did set a record at BJ for a clone.

[ACSGARY]

Mark, have we met before? If not, please introduce yourself to me when you see me at a car show near you. I will be at Laguna Hills High School car show on Saturday 8/19 and at Enderle Center Car Show in Tustin on Sunday 8/20. If you are in the area stop by and visit. I have wine with me (vintage, not El Monte Swill)and an extra glass just for you.
Gary

[mssl72]

Gary,
Think back a few years. We met at the Glendale show on Brand Blvd. I believe it was the 1996 show. You know, when you used to own that beautiful Silver Pearl 1966 L72 Corvette Coupe (FAST GLASS). Jogging any memory yet. Come on, how many Marks have you met that owns a Marina Blue 1966 L72 4-speed Caprice??? Like I said it's been a few years since we last ran into each other.

[ACSGARY]

DAH! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif Of course! Like I could possibly forget the only other guy I know with an L-72. Have you started the restoration on the Caprice yet? Last time we talked was about 3-years ago, at which time you were looking for body panels to replace the rusted-out ones.
Are you coming down to The OC for a show anytime soon? Like either Great Labor Day Cruise or Belmont Shores?
Did I tell you that I visited "Fast Glass" when I was in Indianappolis a few years ago; big mistake. I'll give you the gory details when I see you next.
