- - Sam's Famous! (https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=97506)

Stopped by my home over lunch and saw that I received my April 2008 issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines. A closer inspection revealed a really neat feature on Sam Griffith's '62 Plymouth! These guys know quality when they see it! Now everyone else gets a look at what we've been fortunate enough to see.
Congratulations Sam, you da man! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Sam is a great guy. He has tremendous knowledge and enthusiasm about all things automotive. He's also a good 'foil' for headlight shots https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I am honored to call him my friend! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Here is the whole article scanned for those who don't get the magazine (or haven't received theirs yet!) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Sam's Famous!

Sam. I will email you the scans...so you can forward them to everyone! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Sam's Famous!

With all due respect to the Hemi, the L-88, the ZL-1, etc....................... there's nothing that compares to the sound of a Max Wedge. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: Sam's Famous!

Just got my magazine today.....congrats on the great press, Sam https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif Also glad I just got the sound fixed on my computer (after over a year of being out of order https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif ) so I could hear the awesome sound on that video clip Bruce posted https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: Sam's Famous!

Thanks Abe. Thanks Bruce for the scans. Terry (HMM editor) pulled a bit of a fast one on me. He called me about 6 weeks ago and told me that he wanted Don (photographer) to come out and shoot more shots of the S/S in its race trim (sewer pipe extensions, sans dog dishes, cheater slicks) to update the photos from last fall. So I patiently waited for Don to contact me https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif . I was surprised to see the mag waiting for me in my mailbox (guess the neighbors were wrong about Bruce hanging out to scarf my HMM https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif ). Very pleased that Terry allowed the photo of Gordy and I in the member's profile. Am also very appreciative that he gave me a crack at writing the article.

Had a ball..... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Sam's Famous!

Loved the sound on the video. Very Unique car to say the least. I love the note in the article " Has a face only Mother Mopar could love " It is one fugly looking car for sure but different and I like different !!

Re: Sam's Famous!

Sam - best part about your picture was the jacket you were wearing - LOL. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Thanks dude. Yeah, I had to work the old blue n' gold https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif into the photo https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif . Notice too, how Gordy and I wear our jackets in that winter photo and who the Chicago native is and who the wimp with thinned blood from AZ is. Now wrt your comment above.... Whatchu' talkin' 'bout, Willis! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif ?
