The most satisfying part of this search is finding real cars that I didn't already know about. Most of the cars signed up so far are ones I've already doc'd and know they're real.

Still working on it Bob, but I just got out of an 8 day stay in the hospital. (not to mention the 10 day stay I had in Feb.)To say that I am behind on things is a major understatement.

Not to worry, Verne, what you have assembled already makes for an outstanding display, and we have about six months to go! Concentrate on getting back to 100%, as we have a great crew to assist wherever needed!

I know we share the desire to have at least one of each year represented, and I am confident that it will happen.

Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
 

Yeah Verne, get better............NOW!!!!!!!

Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
 

We are still hoping to add a 1961 and a 1965 to the mix, so if you own or know of any, please let us know!

Yes, it's getting late. I need to make some more phone calls. The real ones are hard to find.

Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
 

I appreciate your comments Bob. Yes, we are on the same page regarding REAL cars. It will be my pleasure to be surrounded by real ones rather than clones that I always see at other &quot;typical&quot; shows.
I especially want all the spectators to know they're looking at cars that tell no lies.

Cool stuff Verne!

Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
 

And here is an update;

We have secured an elusive and <span style="font-style: italic">very real</span> 1965 409 hardtop, thanks to Dennis Albaugh and our good friend Andy!

So there you have it, and even eight from 1962-1965. Now that will tell quite a story.

Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
 

That's last minute good and surprising news. I thought the spots were all FULL weeks ago. I can't wait to go over it.

Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
 

When at the MCACN show, if you need to stash your coats, coolers, parts, lunch or anything else, just toss it in the blue '64 that will be in this display. There will also be day-care available in the same area.

Hey Bob,
Think of the opportunity this show is offering you. You actually get to take the car out and <span style="font-style: italic">drive</span> it next weekend! You won't need to clean the rear tires off when you get there either.

And don't worry, I'll guard your '64 from those pesky thugs while you're not there.

Indeed, and I am sure the Bob you are referring to is me, since in the fine print there is a paragraph about a certain Bob being authorized to use any car within a 50 mile radius for any purpose at any time from November 19-23. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
 

I wasn't able to attend this year's show much to my disappointment, my interest lies with the early muscle cars so I was very excited about the 409 display. Tonight is the first time that I have had a chance to look at the photos from the show. Having studied the photos and remembering back that these cars had to be correct factory built 409 cars I can not help but question the 65 Impala that is shown with the group. A 65 Impala with a 425 hp engine and a/c??? Come on, Chevrolet never offered a/c with a solid lifter 409 motor and only the 340 and 400 horse engines were offered in 65. I see that the car is displayed with some paperwork which I'm not able make out but I have never seen any factory documentation that would support this equipment.

Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
 

Tommy- 65 340hp car with 2x4s added. What it is and how it came to be included is addressed in this thread exchange:

Re: MCACN 2015 REAL 409's wanted for Special Display.
 

Tom,
Thanks for that link, I had not seen it and I kinda thought that might be the case. The display sign says &quot;1965 Impala SS 409/425 # matching engine and transmission&quot;. That sign is very mis leading, it may be a # matching 409/340 but it's not a 425. Still looks like a very nice car.
