how many of these things do you think they would have sold if we all knew then what we know now? i bet there would be a lot more 427's of the allottment, blocks coming from chevrolet, DEI enterprises doing the building, helen gibb signing off on the project, taking delivery at gibb chevrolet, what else? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, enough burnouts! Whose got some time slips?! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: LaHarpe!!!
 

One of Matt's guys drove Helen's Car with her in the passenger seat and did a burn out but not to the degree of the 600 hp cars. She said she loved it. I think everyone was very happy she got a car. She said there sould be a ZL1 in LaHarpe. I told Dennis Barker was having far to much fun doing awesome 500 foot (or more) burnouts and the car going sideways, back and forth. What a super awesome day again in LaHarpe. Again, Matt Murphy, Dennis Barker, Helen Gibb and family and Mayor Brown (who was kind enough to keep the police busy on the other side of town) made the trip to LaHarpe very worthwhile. Also thanks to Ann Hartwig for being there. Congratulations to the new owners - those 600 hp cars sound awesome. I will say again that Matt has made these cars into cars that will go down in the muscle car history books. Being a older fellow, I have been to a lot of car related events, the two days at Laharpe have to be at the top of the fun list.

Re: LaHarpe!!!
 

Thanks to everyone who attended our show in LaHarpe Sun. A special thanks to Dennis C. who helped with the memorial. Also for the ones who couldn't make it we did do other things besides smokies. I have no idea what Dennis was trying to hide or take from the ZL-1. Thanks again and keep in touch. Ken [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

Re: LaHarpe!!!
 

Thanks, Buddy. I take back most of the good things I said about you earlier. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]
You'll notice I wasn't alone under there. Joel has a real desire for a BE axle for his car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

Re: LaHarpe!!!

Re: LaHarpe!!!
 

I see between the first and second pictures you posted of Belk's car, somebody has pulled up to that stop sign. I bet they were saying "Those darn kids are at it again!" LOL

Re: LaHarpe!!!
 

The amazing part about these pics is that were they were having the [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img] was right in the middle of the HIGHWAY!! Every so often a car would pull up and at one point ron had to wave one thru so he could do the burnout.

Re: LaHarpe!!!
 

LaHarpe is a very HP friendly town. Rumor has it the City Marshall was in plain clothes, standing in the showroom, grinning ear to ear. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

Re: LaHarpe!!!
 

[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img] i honestly beleive that if it had anything to do with fred gibb they would turn their back on anything that had to do with high performance events like smoky and the bandit. the mayor "B" was their, 1/2 the town and the cops weren't anywhere to be seen , but, when they stopped barker on the way into town as they were alerted by the gibbs to do so, it may have been matt murphy, one of them. they would have let you do anything that day, i wish it were that way in greensboro, nc.

Re: LaHarpe!!!
 

Ha....Tell me more about them stopping Barker......

Re: LaHarpe!!!
 

charlie,
i don't remember if it was barker or matt murphy , but , the gibbs staged it and i heard he (?) said but i wasn't speeding i swear, why are you pulling me and then the cop started laughing and informed him he had been framed! quite comical, you could only get away with that in LaHarpe, ILL smalltown USA. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: LaHarpe!!!
 

Ha !!! Actually they did it at the Berger show also. The Cop even had pics of Dennis doing a Smokey Burnout waving at the Crowd.

Re: LaHarpe!!!

Re: LaHarpe!!!
 

Thank you Mayor B for the link to the local newspaper story! And thanks to all who posted pictures and stories here. It looks like a great time was had by all [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Finally, congratulations to all the proud new owners. Too bad there isn't a 'smoky burnout graemlin' that slowly fills the whole monitor screen with 'tire smoke' [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: LaHarpe!!!
 

Dave & Andy:

Sorry about not replying back about how to post pictures, but I haven't been spending much time on the board lately. It looks like you both got it figured out, though!

Ironically enough, before I took my "hiatus" I was working on a thread on "How to post images"...guess I need to get back to work on that!

Re: LaHarpe!!!
 

Rob,

Not a problem, I was overlooking the attach pics button. Some of the other great members helped me out. Keep up the great site!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Re: LaHarpe!!!
 

I was wondering if anyone has any pics they have burned on a cd from LaHarpe? I am trying to make up a CD full of pics from the show. Thanks,

Andy
