if time could have taken me back 34 years i wouldn't know what to do with myself. if you get one of these cars you have to take delivery of it at the gibb dealership.
it was nice seeing some great friends(belk with leann and ryan, stuber, holub, matt murphy, dennis barker and 100's of people) not to mention the kindness that helen and nancy gibb showed toward all the enthusiasts. WOW!
if anyone has not considered these cars to be supercars then they need to drive one, 600 horsepower. i wasn't going to drive mine until belk and stuber took off and before i knew it i was running towards the car and the adrenaline started to flow. i eased out of the dealership and cruised slowly in 1st gear and hit 2nd and nailed it and oh my! my! it broke loose and i was completely amazed at what this car could do. it was a blast and a memory i will never forget!
to top the weekend off belk did a line lock burnout that completely wowed the crowd, you couldn't even see the car, barker followed it up with another launch , but i couldn't afford to replace my tires after seeing that, i am sure pics will follow . you have to get one of these cars, they're amaxingly fast and streetable at 93 octane gas. the engine rrumbles and rocks the car at idle. its 7 hrs. later and i still haven't come off of my cloud. what a gr8 time, with the boys, locals , and the gibb family, not to forget berger chevrolet and the gr8 job matt murphy did on the car. sorry, i got a little long winded! man oh man!

Personally I do not believe there are enough nice words to explain how nice a day it was in La Harpe on Sunday. The hospitality shown by Helen & Nancy Gibb, Arlan (the owner of the facility) and Kenny Brown was just totally awesome!! The Barker Family would like to THANK ALL OF YOU for a Fabulous time. It is a day we will never forget !

Thank You Again,

The Barker's

Is that Nova and Camaro indoor picture taken inside the old dealer showroom? What is the old dealership building used for today?

[ORIGLS6]

Joe,
That is the old (last) dealership showroom. The original dealership was on the North side of the square but this building was opened in 1963. It is now a tire store. Ironic, huh? Considering what happened out front Sunday, maybe Arlen should stock some BFG Drag Radials if this happens again!!!

Sunday I could smell the burning rubber from here.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

No, it is not #69. It is #PR3 meaning it is the 3rd prototype built. Chevrolet owns #1, Matt Berger of Berger Chevrolet owns #PR2 and now Helen Gibb of Fred Gibb Chevrolet owns #PR3. Kind of fitting since the ZL1 was born out of Fred Gibb Chevrolet. Hope we helped !

You guys sound like you had an awesome day!! That is really neat that Helen got a ZL1! Did she do a burnout? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I wonder if she will drive the car often? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
