Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase
 

Since I don't think it is ever too early to get the ball rolling, I am excited to announce another neat Special Showcase for the next Nickey Chicago Chevy Vettefest, November 22-23, 2008.

Our own DarrenX33 has agreed to put together a very special collection of 1969 Camaro Z/28's.

The goal is to have one of each of the colors that were offered in 69 and I am happy to announce that Darren has already lined up more then 10 through the incredible support of the sYc. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I will let Darren take it from here to announce some of what he has in store for us, but suffice it say, this will be another incredible collection of real-deal documented Musclecars.

Once again, my hat is off to the sYc Comunity, who constantly help me in my quest to continue to "raise the bar" to produce the finest All Indoor All Chevy Show and Swap Meet in the world! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Just keeps gettin' better and better! Nice going Darren. In a couple of years this show will have the best of the best iron anywhere in the country and with the help of a couple of Eastern guys and at least one over in Europe, some of the best cars in the world!

Darren....will make this display a thing of beauty. Looking forward to yet another Great Vette Fest.

I will be helping Jody Schmeisser bring his beautiful Dusk Blue / Blue Guts Z-28 ...that he has owned since the mid 70`s. Awesome!!!

Hey Darren,
It's only April and your over half way great job.any difficult colors let us know.

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase
 

Ok, thanks much guys for the compliments. This is going to be a great event. I am hoping we can pull this off and get every color. I know its going to be a challenge but I think with the help of everyone here we can fill in the rest of the cars and get it done. With the help of many others I have 12 of 18 colors accounted for so far. I will post a complete list of what I have so far shortly. We have a few cars undergoing resto right now so the timer is counting down in for instance, Homer. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

What I can say right now is what colors have yet to be accounted for. And as you can imagine, these are the tough ones. So if anyone has or can find someone with a real deal example in the following colors we'll be complete. Because we are trying for one of each, in the event I get more that one color signed up the 2nd car would be on a back up list. Level of commitment will play in there as well. I hope not to upset anyone with this method of selection but I really think if we can pull this off it will be really something. Has it been done yet since Norwood? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
PM me or send me an email at [email protected]

Looking for:

Olympic Gold
Champange
Burgundy
Glacier Blue
Cortez Silver

Also, I have a Fathom Green Berger Z penciled in from Souderton. Maybe with enough PMs and phone calls we can get it there? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif Peer pressure guys. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase
 

The Steinmans want to bring there SCW restored Hugger/black top RS/Z. I imagine orange is taken, but are you taking more than one? Really get crazy and have the different stripe combos's too..BKH

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase
 

There was a Burgandy Z at VF a few years ago. Real nice car. Maybe you can search it down..BKH https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase
 

Tell me you have the killer Burnished Brown Z28 coming that was there at the fall Vettefest. I want to see more of that car.

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase
 

Darren,

Do you have a rare Butternut Yellow Z?

Looking for info on this car. Contact or the year/season it was at Vettefest. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase
 

Darren,I think that car was from Milan Ill. Burgandy with red or orange stripes? It was on ebay a couple of years ago, but I don't think it sold. If this is the car your looking for, I'll see if I can find him for you.

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase
 

Darren....I remember a "Nickey" Burgandy 1969 Z28 that went through the Mecum auction a couplle of times and was a really nice car. Steve Bimby knows of this car and maybe he can help you track down where the car is now and who owns it.

Charlie; I have a very special present for you also, something that a select few members saw, but can not be shown to the public...at least not at our family-friendly event! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Anyone remember exactly which show it was at? (Spring or Fall and what year?) If we can narrow it down, I can dig into the files.

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showca
 

Darren, great job putting this together. I look forward to seeing all the Z's. I would think it's going to be quite a task to find some of the rare colors, Good Luck! Rich G. had a good idea to find one of each color regular Z and one each w/ RS-Z option. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showca
 

Alan,
Hope you are bringing your RS to Vette fest.I decided to take a chance and bring my Z to cover the color white.

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase
 

I would like to bring my Burgundy JL8 but it is partially disassembled getting read to go to a certain paint shop in Homer City.

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase
 

Darren,
I'll work on the burgundy one,i have a friend out west (Quad Cities)with a burgundy Z.I'll keep you posted.
Thanks
Mike

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase
 

Any member who would like to attend Fall Chevy Vettefest and for whatever reason is not included in the either of the special showcases ('69 Z and Hi-Po Nova) is more then welcome to be part of the sYc showcase. You will receive all of the same perks and get to hang out with some really neat folks.

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showca
 

I'm gonna' wing it here, but I think the Burgandy Z was about 7 to 8 years ago. I think the car was a spoilerless car with a spoiler on the front. I'm thinking VE3 for some reason and a ZL2 hood. One of the more memorable cars at the show for me that year. It just looked nice in that color..BKH

Champagne will be a problem. I know of only one Z in that color and it was in primer on ebay a while back.

Glad you found a butternut yellow car. Very few Z's in that color. That's the toughest color (that actually has cars in that color) for that exhibit.

Glacier Blue will require some digging, but they are around. About the same # of those as burgundy Z's.

Cortez silver Z's - they made a bunch, just have to find an owner.

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase

That's a very nice car Sam but that's not the one that was here at the Mecum auction...the one I was reffering to had white stripes...

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase
 

Both are very nice cars. The one with the White Stripes is a Nickey Sold Z28 while Kevin's ia a "Nickey" Super Car Conversion.

The engine/background on my home page is the L88 in Kevin's Nickey.

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase
 

Steve...do you know who owns this car now? I'm sure that Darren would love to include it in the Fall Vettefest 69 Z display...and it's a color he still needs!

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase
 

Yes, and I'll probably see him at the Mecum Spring Classic.

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase
 

Kevin's car is Garnet Red.

Re: Fall 08 Chevy Vettefest 69 Z/28 Feature Showcase
 

Steve,
The burgundy car was located and he will be @ the Chev/Vette Fest this fall.We sure can use your help locating the champange car.
Thanks
