68 Camaro LS6

[Charley Lillard]

Geeze... I leave for a few days to do my first Carlisle ever and come back to this... I can't leave you Babies alone for a second....
"where it spanked the #3 ZLI GMMG yellow camaro while shifting at just 5500 RPM so it wouldn`t embarass the owner too bad after he spent $60,000-$80,000 on that joke of a overpriced car.".....Mark...I like your Car but I do take that statement as an Insult. It does not come across as good natured Ribbing. I believe you really don't like the new ZL1's. You believe that they are just a attempt to cash in... You apparently don't know Matt Murphy. Matt is a Die Hard Muscle car Historian.. Matt probably knows more about 67 Pace cars than anybody out there. Matt builds them because he wants to build really Cool stuff that ties into the past. His attention to Detail is amazing. I won't go on about Matt because it would take too long. As for the poor performance of my car you should probably look to the driver. I assume the base ZL1 will run about like a ZO6 Vette. Remember that you raced the Base ZL1... That is the only way they can be sold new with a Warranty and Emissions. The car is now a Phase 3 600hp version and you could still probably beat it if I am the Driver. I'm the Guy that runs 12.15@120 in my 67 Camaro..Think maybe a better driver could beat you in my Car with that 120mph ? Can we put you up against oh maybe Ken Barnhart in his ?
Overpriced ? I guess it depends on how you look at it. I feel very fortunate to be able to afford some of this stuff and I realize many others can't. The price on my 60-80K Car ended up at about 93K. If you compare it to a New 493hp Mercedes or BMW or other Exotic it seems more in line and will probably hold its value better. In any case I would rather be driving a 600 hp Camaro that has a Factory type appearance than a german car. I like the German Cars also but the Camaro was my choice. Why would anybody pay 100K for a Old Musclecar when you can bolt a few parts on a new Camaro and spank the old one and run the AC ? What will todays Kids but collecting in 15 years ? I kinda think they will think the GMMG built stuff is pretty Cool. I know the New ZL1's draw just as big of a crowd as the COPOS as was evidenced at Carlisle this Weekend.
There is room for all of us here but I would appreciate it if you didn't bash my Car in an attempt to sell yours.
And you Guys all Suck.... Don't make me bring out the Dogs.. And wait till you see what Murphy and Barker are up to now. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Charley..........now you have me waiting on pins and needles waiting to see what Matt and Dennis are up to........

Wouldn't want to give us all a hint would you?

I think Tom Clary is gonna post about it. Think about this years Reunion Guest. I didn't just sell my JL8 car and COPO for Nuttin.

I have posted and sold cars here. Some were Supercars and some werent. Very rarely have I ever not sold one. I apprieciate the opportunity this board provides for me to post those cars as I am sure others apprieciate the ability to take first shot at them before the general public. Never once have I ever had to bash anyone to sell a car, knocking someone else's car while trying to sell yours is basically saying you ran out of positive things to say about the car you are selling, so how bout making up some negetive things about someone elses car to take up space. If someone feels the need to bash someone...heck, this is like walking up and kicking God in the shin, and not because Charley has the money to buy these cars, but because he is a nice enough guy to go to great lengths for other people to enjoy them. When I met Charlie at Berger I was duely impressed with his cars as anyone would be, but I was much more impressed that he had brought these cars from California to Michigan to help in making the Berger event a success for everyone who attended. The founders of this site put this together for Supercars, which the definition I see them as is whatever they want them to be as it is their site, but not once can I recall them ever making a negative comment about anyones car here, Supercar or otherwise, unless we are talking about the king of crime up in Alberta Canada, which we all jumped. It seems to me that all car guys(and girls), and all types of cars are welcome here, both welcomed with respect if that is what they are coming with. Come lacking respect and thats when the spanking begins. Also, for once it is refreshing to see the $hit hit the fan without it being mine or Marlins fault. Finally, for Mr LS whatever Camaro that started this crap, I have a rag tag 55 shoebox Chevy with rusted thin fenderwell headers from the sixties, running a small block that smokes a bit on one bank, got to kick the dash lightly to make the eight track work, and I got $500 bucks says I will put a spanking on your Camaro, you call the time and a place midway between us, I dont care if it costs me twice the five bills to get there, I will show up and teach you how we paved Woodward for years. Neither one is a Supercar, and I am not bashing the person who owns the Camaro, I am simply calling you out the way it's been done since straight axle front ends. Put up or clam up, your call. And, since I am on a roll, Belair, you causin trouble again? Whats this spanking Charley business? You jealous?

You sold the Orange COPO already?

Some of the most wild muscle car rides I have been on have been with Charley. One was in a Porsche on the back roads of Woodland, CA at about 130. I would also like to know what is wrong with mid-year Corvette guys, some of my best friends are mid-year Corvette guys and many members of this board have mid-year Corvettes.

I met Charley last weekend, even dropped in on him at the hotel to snap this picture:



As you can see, Charley likes to be spanked by the hotel staff while dressing up in high heels and a wig.

Just don't pick on his cars.
