Jersey Late Great Chevies Picnic photos
 

At Verne's invitation I attended the Jersey Late Greats picnic today in Mercer County park, West Windsor, NJ. Definitely a nice bunch of folks. They welcomed me with open arms even though I was the only Mopar guy there. Here are some photos from the event:

A group shot with all the cars including a Corvair vintage race car.

Some nice Corvairs from various years, including a van:

A really slcik early El Camino (1960-61???) with a 348:

A 1958 and a 60/61? and my old dodge:

And the piesta-resistance (pardon my butchering of the foreign spelling). Verne's 1962 black and red, Impala SS, 409 four-speed convertible (the real deal). Complete with tow tabs, red sparkly Grant steering wheel and Mickey Thompson rims. He's owned it since 1968 when he bought it off the bargain lot in the back of Reedman Chevrolet in Pennsylvania:

And though Verne is embarassed by what he considers the undetailed engine bay of his car, here is a photo. Sorry Verne, but they have to see this. Verne, that's not dirt in there, it's called patina. This is how a 60's-era hotrod should look!

Steve...thanks for the pics! Verne's car is killer!

When I saw the pic with your car...the Sesame Street song..."one of these things is not like the other...one of these things just doesn't belong" came to mind...LOL


By the way...your Charger is way cool. Is it a twin to the yellow one out here?

Thanks for sharing! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Verne, if you dont like the "recent" engine shot, how about we call this a vintage shot from back in 1968. No one will know the difference. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Hey Steve nice pictures. I think the el camino is a 60. I believe that was the last year till the 1964 chevelle platform. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Jersey Late Great Chevies Picnic photos
 

Yes, that is a '60 EC and the convert next to the '58 is a '60 as well.

Verne: Your '62 is PERFECT. Owned by you since '68? How cool is that!

In Mopar-speak, the yellow one out in Arizona is a "run of the mill" 1970 hemi Charger R/T. Mine is a 1970 hemi Charger R/T-SE. Dodge made 112 R/T's which included the 15 R/T-SE's built. Kinda like an SS-RS Camaro, the highest performance option package combined with the highest level trim option package. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif
