Default Re: Pic of Macombs First Fred Gibb Cruise Night

Yes, all of the volunteers connected with the Gibb show are to be commended for another job well done.

And you never know who you will bump into there. I had lunch with a fellow (wish I could remember his name) who worked in the shop at the Gibb dealership. Was very interesting to hear about 427 engine swaps, the vast array of speed parts on hand, test drives, etc.

Of course all of the regulars were on hand, Helen, Nancy, Jerry and Herb.

And one of the highlights of the show for me was spending time visiting with Lee Hamilton, who was shop foreman at the Kansas City Dick Harrell Performance Center in '70-'71. It was neat hear more of the history surrounding both Dick Harrell and Fred Gibb.

BTW, many of these fine folks, as well as a lot of the cars, will be at SCR8. Some even drag racing. I know Ken Barnhart has a fresh "Yenko" engine in his ZL-1 Camaro.
