Russo and Steele

Made it to R & S this p.m. for a little bit and took these shots. Had to take them in a hurry near closing time. Sorry for poor quality. Good crop of cars though. Enjoy.

White LS6. Dual Snorkel, console auto with 3.31. Nice resto. I don't see too many white LS6s - this looked good in white due to high quality resto. A few things wrong, but nothing that couldn't be undone.

Arlen Vanke's (of Akron) ride. Neat paint scheme. Looks even better in person. Nice knuckle dragger.

Nice tri-power 64 Goat Convertible. My engine and interior shots were (more) horrid!
Four speed too.

Re: Russo and Steele

440 6 Pack Convertible from Bill W's collection. Slap stick. I am embarrassed to say that I only recently learned what is unique about the slap stick. You start in first and when you want to shift to second you just slap the shifter forward and it will only go to the next gear and no further. No missed shifts or shifting into neutral and over revving. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif Pretty neat idea. Never liked the look of a slap stick, but now have a better appreciation of it.

Re: Russo and Steele

Hey Sam...we've got it covered...you and I are hitting both sides of the 101.

Are you coming to BJ? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Russo and Steele

I believe this is the green/white/white LS6 convertible auto console that was on ebay recently. Very nice restoration. I was disappointed to see a very nice stamp on the block stamp pad that matched the VIN of the car. As I recall, this was advertised on ebay as a replaced block. Don't know why the correct stamping had to be placed on this block. It will only lead to confusion. Did I miss something on ebay? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Your pix are wunderbar! Should be over to BJ on Saturday and perhaps early on Friday.

Re: Russo and Steele

All for now. Will get more preview shots tomorrow. R&S starts at about 1:00 p.m. on Friday.

Re: Russo and Steele

Nice cars. Nice dust layer on all of them too. You'd think at these high value auctions, the people running them would prepare a little better (put down matting, astroturf, something, etc) so the cars don't get damaged in the process.

Re: Russo and Steele

Steve...to be honest...living here in the desert, even with ALL the things that you mentioned there is still dust around. It takes some getting used to.

Plus, at the auctions it gives the detailers some extra $$ in their pockets https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: Russo and Steele

Continuation of preview at R&S on Thursday. Man, there are a lot of nice cars at R&S this year! I spent 3 + hours and still did not get to all. They have 450 cars this year vice 300 from last year. Drew made a last minute decision to do this due to all of the requests he was getting from potential consigners.

Here is a nice 'velle, 396/325 (yeah, a couple things wrong, but decent overall):

Re: Russo and Steele

D@m "caution fan" sticker! Who is selling these? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif And who is buying them? Other than that, nice looking car.

Re: Russo and Steele

Thot that might get someone going. Those things are everywhere. Some rumors get started and before you know it...... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Re: Russo and Steele

Sam,

Thanks for the pictures...It seems that those "Caution Fan Stickers" are everywhere...it also appears that people are starting to catch on...I heard a lot of people today saying the same thing...they don't belong there...unless it's a Ford https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Russo and Steele

Thank you too Sam! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif
It seem R&S brings some truly correct cars...

Re: Russo and Steele

One more Daytona shot. Real sharp resto.

Re: Russo and Steele

Last shots for today. The engine on this Cheetah is smack dab right in the center. Must have been a hoot to drive. Must have been an interesting power to weight to balance ratio!!!!
