csx289,

You were lucky to even be at a show that had a class for 442's! I have been stuck in some wierd classes with my '69 H/O. In certain shows they almost want to have it in a custom catagory! As for anyone calling my wife a H/O, they might feel funny waking up in the hospital!

Everyone take a deep breath! I am the owner of the 69 Camaro that won the Good Guys Muscle Car of the year award. The show was awesome!! More eye candy than you can take in one day. I would like to respond to Collin by saying that his car is indeed outstanding, why it was not in the final five is beyond me!! I myself, questioned as to how the five finalists were chosen as there were many great cars that were "overlooked". Lets not forget that Good Guys is a hot rod club ( I am a member), not a muscle car club. Missing from the show were Hemi Cudas, Royal Pontiacs, Ford Lightweights, ZL1s, "Real" Yenkos .....were do I stop?? None the less, as with any car show that is not a "points" show....it will come down to the judge(s) opinion, tastes, likes, dislikes, etc... Now, for the facts. I had dozens of people give me compliments on how nice my car was... I too, could have bought a couple of brats if I had a nickle for everyone who told me I had the best car in the show. I told EVERYONE that talked to me about the car that is was a clone, including the photographer from good guys (before the judging had occurred), as well as the other finalists. I was not out Bull----ing people during the show or after as to the authenticity of my car. I do not have some plastic board in front of the car stating that it is a real Yenko. I did not give an acceptance speach at all, I mearly stated that it took me three years to build the car to get it to the present state. I will only say that my car is awesome!! I say that not to brag, but, because I am proud of the way the car turned out after a three year resto. For what its worth, I also won BEST DETAILED CAR and BEST YENKO of the Super Chevy Show in Joliet. A fellow syc member who owns a Jack Douglas Yenko (neat car!) was at the show... he complimented on how nice the car was. I understand the frustration of many fortunate guys who own numbers matching original cars....but lets face it guys, there are more "would be owners" of muscle cars than there are cars available. I would hate to think unless you have $50K+ to spend that you are relagated to driving a slant six Duster (sorry Mopar guys)?? I will be the first in line to say "string em up" to those who try and sell a clone as an original car, we all know someone that has been burned badly....that bad taste is tough to get rid of. Did'nt mean to get long winded, just wanted to clear the air. Hope I did'nt step on anyones toes??

Reply to a post, and review it before you send. Right below your signature there should be a button to attach a file. It has to be under 100KB I believe.

What a funny topic !!
I leave before trophy time. Try driving a Lift off hood car to a local shows and even some local mopar shows. Down here I could buy a couple of hotdogs(brat)and a soda for,why don't you put some wheels on the car or why didn't I paint the hood the same color as the car? My friends get all mad and have even thrown the trophies in the garbage in front of everybody.Now that's funny and we do Big Burn outs on the way out !! These are ALL Hemi's and sixpack cars doing burn outs. I drive with a pack of about 10 cars. Cool sight!
But guys ,I like when a guy walks up and is in love with my cars and the people giving thumbs up while driving down the road. That's my Trophy
Not when I'm at the National's and the winner is a 72 C$#^**%# with stickers all over the car and by chance his dad was a very BIG sponsor. That was another funny moment in life that makes you scratch your head and go Hmmmm !!
