After being home and reflecting on the last couple of days.......I think I have a new perspective about the "History" of Muscle Cars.......after talking to Tom, Marlin, Ken, and meeting Helen, her daughter, and seeing COPO #50 (I touched it to make sure)and meeting so many others that I can't remember them all........I thought that since I lived thru that era that I was a part of it.......Wrong.........I just experienced it in a very small insignificant way........
I could never understand what all the fuss was about having a documented correct car..........after last week I can see that you cannot recreate history and the standards of correctness should never be compromised......you guys got it all together and should keep it that way......Ken.....you are quite a guy ..........Marlin.....a walking encyclopedia........Tom......Muscle Car Sheriff.....On and On.....
Just some thoughts.......Sorry to Ramble...

Ken, thanks for the kind words, (well I think they were kind ). Loved seeing your Nova, glad you did not change the color.

As Ken said, the Nova Nats was a blast. On "the hill" as they called it, looked like a mini supercar reunion. Mix in a ton of other outstanding Novas, some of the nicest folks you will ever meet, super weather, WOW. Schonye, his wife Becky, Jeff G. and the other locals really made us feel at home. Everyone involved with the NNN and the host Nova club are to be commended. It was really neat to spend quality time with other sYc members, talking about our cars, our families, the past and the future.

The ones in charge had Helen Gibb set up right in front of the main doors of the hotel, which was really neat. Helen and Ray Morrison were the stars of the show with their Gibb Novas.

Marlin's presentation, in the middle of a bunch of supercars, was well attended and received. In addition to Marlin, Helen and Nancy Gibb both spoke, as well as Ray M. Was nice (and sad) to hear Helen speak about her late husband Fred, and Nancy remember one of our own, Dennis Hartweg.

Congrats to several members here who got awards. I am sure I have left someone out, but here are some I remember. Kwhizz, Schonye, Hasset (1st in restored/original), myself (runner up to Mark's Deuce).

To top things off, got to meet another original Deuce owner, Moses. Several of us had dinner with him Saturday evening, sitting in awe as we listened to the stories about his car. As happened with most of these cars, known to be invovled in a street race or two.

Sounds like a good time was had by all. Is there any more pics that can be posted?

[Belair62]

Schoney has to have the Polaroid 110 film developed...it takes a while because it needs to be sent to Bulgaria where they still have the technology

[Schonyenko2]

Nice, real nice.I leave him alone, don't give him grief about his lack of musical knowledge, and I get Bulgaria.
Now see. If you'd have had your deuce done, you could have made the short trip to Ia. Next year it's in Maryland.
But maybe I'll have my pics back by then.
