In commemoration of this incredible happening, we will be producing a very special and <span style="font-weight: bold">VERY Limited Edition</span> hardcover book. This book will have several pages devoted to each of the participating cars and it is 100% devoted to them. The stories and history makes for some pretty interesting reading!

More on this later! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif[/img]

smart move Bob. This'll be a keeper and likely not to ever be duplicated (getting so many in one spot at the same time). I suggest, when you get them all together, some outdoors pix to really show off these incredible rides in better lighting than inside the venue.

I am actually working on the book now, and it will be available at the show. Contributors include Wade Ogle and noted photographer/author Randy Leffingwell!

Thanks. I have two, 2-inch-thick albums of photos of the yellow car in as-purchased condition, during disassembly/documentation process, and through the restoration.

And we have an attack-trained Jack-huahua (or is that a Chih-Russell?) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] guarding them.

The albums really should be with the car. Back in 1987 when I sold the car to Otis Chandler, neither he nor Greg Joseph seemed all that interested in the photos. So I kept them to keep them from being thrown away.

Well, I do have a daughter in college who could use some help with her student loan. (and it's a state school so it wouldn't be that expensive) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I even have an extra broadcast sheet! - the car had several of them. (this is a low-res black and white scan of the original color sheet so it doesn't get copied too easily)

LOL.

Sadly, I don't think I can go this year due to the aforementioned smarty-pants daughter who wants to continue to attend college. I can't give her too much grief, though. She is double majoring with an additional minor - and she does have a 3.7 GPA going into her Junior year). And she plays rugby - quite a switch from her former HS cheerleading days!


Anyone have a well-to-do, eligible bachelor son around here? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Just read on the cuda Challenger FB page that one of the hemi convertibles won't be there and it is not in this bunch. It apparently is a Canadian 70 Challenger vert that still sits in Ontario...

Do you have a link to that FB page?
