Pigeon Forge Show
 

I don't want to start any fights here, but is anyone going to Pigeon Forge this weekend for the muscle car invitation show? I think it may give the wife and I an excuse to take a long weekend in Tennesse.

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

My Dad and I plan on being there, on the motorcycles if the weather is decent.
Other shows in the area the same weekend include:
Pigeon Forge- Southern Street Machine Rod and Custom National at the Shular Inn.(423)623-2446.
Sevierville- All VW show at Sevierville County Fairgrounds.(865)-429-8009
Knoxville- Annual Brag and Boast Benefit show at Knoxville Livestock Center.(865)966-9063.

Be sure to visit Floyd Garrett's muscle car museum in Sevierville. He always has a great collection on display and well worth your time.

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

I have already visited it! He has some beautiful cars there. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I always encourage members of this board to visit Floyd's collection if they are in the Southeast. He has considerable knowledge of many of the muscle cars we all enjoy and remember.

Have fun with your new car and enjoy it.

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

Very nice pictures. Thanks for sharing. BTW, is that a Dick Landy Hemi Dart I saw on the first page?

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

Congrats Tim, on a successful show. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

That Dart is the real deal! It belongs to Mike Guarise. Its been a long time since those two cars have lined up in front of a Christmas Tree! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

Did anyone see Randy Millers 70 B-M Camaro there, he said he was going to take it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

WOW!!!!! Looks great Tom, heard alot of good things about the show already, quality of cars and your awesome Camaro. Congratulations on your BEST GM award also. Dave Tinnel has done another outstanding resto job, can't wait to see it at the Vettefest. Congrats go out to Tim and his gang for a job well done also.

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

Randy was there! His motion car is awesome! He left early before I could get a picture of it. Maybe someone else has one they could post? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Pigeon Forge Show

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

Very Nice Camaro Tom.

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

All the cars looked (and sounded) great. Super people, nice weather and cool T-shirts. I Hope Tim has plans for another show next year. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

I get the privilege of seeing Randys stuff before,during, and after the restoration is complete, and as always its awesome, that particular car is a 28,000 original mile car,he did not replace the interior or carpet, it was that nice to begin with! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

Got a great shot of Randy Miller's car on there now. It is on the 2nd page.

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

Great pic! Its been a couple of weeks since I had seen it! That car would have looked great at SCR6, did you hear it run! Its sounds pretty tough! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif[/img]

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

Nice Car! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

Will Randy M. Bring the B/M 70 Camaro to VetteFest Nov.21-23?

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

I asked him if he was coming to Vette Fest. He said he would try but could not make any promises. His work keeps him real busy and he has a hard time making plans to attend many shows.

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

Tom, the Yenko looked great! Sorry I did not get to meet you this weekend.

Thanks to everyone who came, everyone of the cars were awesome!!! Thanks to the Lopatas also, job well done. It was good to meet Alan Colvin also.........RatPack..... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

Here's one that was sent to me of Kevin Hands 69 Yenko. Great looking car!

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

I had the privilege to be parked by Kevin's cars! The Nova and the ZL1 are outstanding restos! Ricky does an outstanding job and by the looks of how many cars he has in his shop he will keep busy for a long time!!! I also got to meet Buford, Ricky's sidekick. Super nice guy!

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

Nice cars Tom and Kevin, How many supercars were in attendance?

Re: Pigeon Forge Show
 

I think there was around 60? pretty close distribution between GM, Ford and Mopar. There was some very rare cars there: Shelby Mustangs, (most signed by Shelby) Some Hemis, two "Boss 429s", a 1963 Max Wedge,Hemi Cuda, 427 Fairlanes, Patrick Joiner had a beautifully restored 65 Fuelie Corvette that has won alot of top awards also. Belky had his awsome ZL1 there also and he let my son drive in the parking lot, he is still talking about that!! Hey Joe, that NOS E-70 looks real good in my trunk!!
