greensboro, nc, auto show, WOW!
greensboro had its 1st muscle car show and drag car show. it was great, a larger crowd than vettefest, a lot of drag cars and some musclecars. it was packed all day elbow to elbow. lapata and volpicelli even came. tim got and interview with big daddy don garlits on his funny car which lasted about 10 minutes and will be on ESPN and speed vision. big daddy loved the car and vowed to help find out its history.
then came my surprise, big daddy approached me and said can we interview you on your Sox and Martin 68 cuda and was amazed at its original state 14,000 miles and condition. he knew the car and couldn't believe the condition. the camera guy talked to me for 10 minutes after he shot the car and interviewed me with big daddy! i was in awe. i had the car for sale, and since have considered not selling it. that car got more attention than any car at the show as we are only 20 minutes from burlington, nc, where the car is from. it's only 20 minutes from it original home. it was driven to the west coast twice and ohio once as it raced in the superstock division and came in 2nd at the 68 winternationals. it has 2 build sheets, letters from ronnie sox and gas slips where he purchased gas in los angeles before heading to pomona. it has been featured in 15-20 magazines and currently has a mopar small block bored to 415 ci. and pushes 575hp. original sheet meteal and interior except carpet. engine compartment brand new and body in excellent condition, paint extra nice!
AND THE BEST PART IS THAT IT WILL BE ON ESPN AND SPEEDVISION AS WELL! well its nothing like getting a pat on the back and stroked by the big daddy himnself! it was a great show, i hope it will bring in even more of a crowd next year, make plans to go if it does. sorry to bore you guys , but , it was blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
