Default MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.

Knowing how scarce real 409 cars are, we would like to extend the invitation to owners of real-deal 409 cars to join us for a very special gathering at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show this year. We have enlisted the help of Verne Frantz, who is recognized as an authority on these cars.

To quote Verne from his previous post;

<span style="font-style: italic">I am already on the quest. I'd like to see this become the most prestigious gathering of REAL 409 cars that has ever been put together. There are thousands of 409 cars out there since the last 20 years or so but you can count the real ones without using up all your fingers and toes.</span>

We would really like to see one of each horsepower, so that would be 1 ’61, 2 ‘62s, 3 ‘63s, 3 ’64s and 2 ‘65s.

Let's make it happen and make some more history! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]

We are always up for a challenge, and that is what makes the MCACN show a show unlike any other. Who would have thought that we would be able to lineup over 60 Yenko's, 40+ Aero Cars, 6 of the 8 Trans Am convertobles, over a dozen Baldwin-Motion cars, or this year, nearly 20 very real 426 Hemi Mopar E-body convertibles?

After the first show I wondered how anything could ever top it, then said the same thing after the second, and the third, and the fourth,...........you get the picture. If there is still anyone who has not attended this show you have no idea what you are missing.

We're off and running, with our first <span style="font-style: italic">Official</span> entry for this very special display. Thanks go out to the Dykstra family for making the commitment to show their gorgeous and very real 1962 409 Impala, and kicking this one into gear!

Thanks Jake. Word-of-mouth is without a doubt our best source of advertising, especially from respected members of the hobby like you and your Dad. Realistically, I can go on and on to those who have not yet joined us, (as I often do!) but I know it can come off as some typical promoter spewing the typical B.S.

<span style="font-style: italic">For all who have been at the show and believe in what we are doing, please help us spread the word!</span>

THANKS!

One down............11 to go. My work has just begun. It's the best job I've ever had in the last 20 years (except for judging in Vintage Certification last year) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

I'd love to see the black/red 63 425 Horse car that TimG recently sold. That car had it all - born with drivetrain, 4.56 rear, great colors, and some race history.
