Pavillions 020908! I finally made it out there!

[Xplantdad]

I was finally able to split out from work early...and take the family in the Chevelle...out to Pavillions. It was a wonderful day...about 74 degrees http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I managed to take a few pics, too! Enjoy...

'57!

-----Bruce,,,Seems like I was just there...Oh ya,,,I was!!! Great pics as usual. The 69 Vette was interesting in that it was a very early car and had 68 pattern seats. This is a known anomoly on early 69s with black interior. Not many know this and if seat covers are necessary they put 69 covers in. Those are more than likely the original seats. Very nice.
-----One of my Texas buds bought a 13,000 original mile 396/375 El Camino out of there Saturday afternoon after we went to the preview. Originally white it had been painted candyapple brandywine eons ago. All the important components were born with so it will make a nice easy resto project for him. Wish I was doing it!!! .....Bill S

Wow,coverage of two of my favourite cars. The 300F and the W30 convert. I know the owner of the 300F,it is one of many 300's in his collection,he has a famous cousin as well.
Colin's W30 is an awsome restoration. It has a rare "W" option,the big Woof alarm in the back seat!

Bill, the El Camino should be here soon. The new owners are anxious to see the car.

Hi Bro,
Guess where I am? I am in Detroit, where it was 5 this morning, and 0 when I came home from work....along with very high winds (can you say -20+ on the wind chill factor?). What a departure from 70's at home! Good to hear you had the car out. I had the Camaro out with Taylor Thursday before I left, and did two nice drifting burn outs for the hell of it!

[olredalert]

-----Gary,,,You must have been in the city where its warm. You should be north of town about an hour or so where it does get a bit frosty. Had to wear a sweatshirt today........Bill S

Don't forget the hat!

There were 9 Chrysler 300F's equipped with the 4 speed. because of the custom nature of the conversions,the 4 speed shifter differed between some of the models. See this link for more photos.

[mockingbird812]

Here is a shot of the 4 speed shifter from about 12-18 mos. ago at the Pavillions. It is more like a toggle switch http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif ...

Bill, the El Camino should have arrived Saturday or Sunday. We were all waiting for the call. You'll need to talk to Bruce and Leroy about getting it to Michigan. All I can do is offer to drive it there http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

Nice link, Thanks.. That pic with the dual Paxton's is killer http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif 179+mph on the beach...

[Canuck]

I read another article about Granatelli's 300F that they took the car to Bonneville,changed the gears down to 2.76 or so and got that beast up to 194 MPH. At that speed the fins actually provided lateral stability.
It was an awesome car.
