One last off topic post. As one that believes that credit should be given when due. While we are handing out kudos here, there is one person that hasn't been acknowledged.
Back in the day, we had one major financial and emotional backer- Mike G. He was behind the scenes on nearly every rare discovery/restoration. In fact, we had an affectionate nickname for him- Mike "Please don't mention my name, I'm a silent partner"! At any rate, Mike is known by new members here for Grumpy's Toy, Sox/Martin, etc. However, back in the day when these rare cars and race cars were being resurrected for love of the hobby and not great financial gain, Mike was right there. I believe his pioneering support in resurrecting these race cars is directly responsible for the prices we see today. I thought back and realized he had involvement in most of the well known cars today,including Super Cat, Red Alert, The Judge, the then unknown L78 Convertibles, various Yenkos, COPOs, ZL1's, etc. I don't even know if you post on this board any more Mike, but a big thank you for what you've done for decades to preserve this wonderful hobby and passion.

He definitely loves his muscle cars...I can think of one certain Chevelle at the SCR with a bit of air under the front tire! ![]()
