I just marked the 28th on my calender, I'll see you there. The weather this weekend was Chamber O Commerce to boot. I didnt make the races but heard them thundering up the valley.

see you around...Jeff

sent you a PM. Did you happen to head up to the old Marina Airport on Sat? I went to see if they were running go carts only to stumble acrossed an Antique Air show and car show. It was a small car show 20-30 cars...I was drooling over a really tricked out 62 Bubble Top with and LS-1.

4 or 5 P-51 Mustangs, Corsairs...one guy told me you could go for a power run in one of the P-51's....$600.00, alot less for some of the WW1 bi-planes. I was told the P-51's burn 400 gallons/ hr at full throttle. What a great weekend!

You know...I completely forgot to go to the Air Faire this wknd...got too busy with selling the El Cam and putting away old car magazines and books...finally.

If the '62 Bubble Top was Maroon Red,with late-model polished Corvette 5-spoke wheels,it was probably Jim Wards from Monterey Radiator.He has major $$$ in that car,someone told me over $100K in the interior!

Sorry I missed it,like you said,the weather was absolutely perfect!

I was in Salinas & Monterey this weekend... even though they predicted rain, it was mostly pretty nice I didn't get to see any cool cars though...

In Monterey and you didn't stop by to say hi?
Friday was a little drizzly but the rest of the wknd couldn't have been more spectacular!

What brought you to Monterey and was it your 1st. time here?Are you ready to move here now?

Selling them is never easy to me because I envision myself as an owner & collector rather than a short-term owner/seller for profit.I buy what I like and therefore,never have to sell mearly because I'm tired of a particular car.The cars that I own are those I've always dreamed

my thoughts exactly..... i am struggling currently

I flew out to San Jose on Thursday to be on-site in Mountain View for work, and then Friday we had an off-site event up in San Francisco (our group went out on a catamaran on the bay).

Then for Friday night through Sunday morning, I was down in Salinas visiting one of my brother's. On Saturday we ended going for a long drive south on Route 1, down to Big Sur and then back.

Took about 700 pictures all together

hey If any of you guys are ever out in the Sacramento area I sure could use some help getting the original owner of my '70 BM Vette to dig out any thing he can find on the car. He lives in Willits CA. near Ft Bragg. He has a bussiness there.

Seems like a nice guy just too busy to find me any pic of the car. You would think if you got something that expensive for you HIGH SCHOOL graduation present you would still have a pic somewhere.

Thanks guys

I was at the Montery Pebble beach car show and the SCCA classic races one time and that is one neat event. Love the area. If I ever win the lottery I just might move there. LOL....

Sounds like you've been here before then.

WOW,Big Sur must have been spectacular!
Our car club cruised down there about a month ago on an equally beautiful day.I really love going down the coast,especially in an american musclecar. All kinds of sports cars here for the American LeMans series @ Laguna Seca.Guess they didn't make it anywhere near Salinas though.

Pantera,

Good,we could use more Chevrolet muscle in these parts.

Can't help you in Sacramento but hopefully someone can...would be nice to have all the little "history" stuff on the car.

Yes,the Historics and Pebble Beach Event certainly are tons of fun (think Barrett-Jackson with beautiful scenary)and becomes larger each year.Now with all the auctions and car shows scattered all over the Peninsula,it is a car lovers weekend and certainly is a must-do at least once in a lifetime.Two years ago,3 of my high school buddies met in Monterey and had a wild weekend full of cars,stars,cigars and old Bordeaux .Next year,we'll do it again,this time at B-J.No wifes,children,or worries...just a weekend filled with cars,stogies,and beer...my kind of weekend!

P.S,Was watching re-runs of last years B-J...what did that B-M Corvette sell for?
