Re: GoodGuys 2004 muscleCar of the Year
Dave you hit the nail on the head,Good Guys Meets are JUDGE Picks! It is what ever the Judge likes and that is it.Just because there is a High dollar Real Yenko,Mustang ,OLDS,or whatever it doesen't matter if it is a Replica or Real Numbers matching etc.It is strictly what the Judge likes.I went a couple of years ago with 20 other friends and my car was picked as best restored muscle car and one other friends car was picked.I asked the Judge why my car was picked over some of the others and he specifically told me he loved 67 chevelles and the color of my car caught his eye ,and that he liked the detail of my chevelle,and the fact that it was a driven car not trailered.I grant you there were 3 other 67 Chevelles that were nicer than my car but they did not get picked.Honestly if I was a Judge I would have picked a white 67 Chevelle over my car.It was immaculate in every way.Good Guy's is strictly up to a Judge making a pick!No points,doesent matter if it is a real super car or a replica or a old rat rod.That is why a lot of people attend Good Guy's because no matter what you go in you actually have a chance to be picked!I might add that I have entered Super Chevy 3 times and never won anything at all! But then again the first year my car was completed it won at Houston Autorama!Yera 2 at Houston autorama I came in second and year 3 I came in third!I love going to shows to have fun and meet a lot of people an look at cars.If I win something that is great if I don't then so be it I still had fun and meet some nice people and looked at a lot of nice cars.
