Absolutely beyond words! Gorgeous car and the story behind it and the history is what makes me enjoy this site more with every visit. Congrats on finding it and preserving the history along with sharing the original owner memories and pictures.

How about bringing it out in "Day 2" trim to Vettefest and being a part of our sYc L-78 Showcase November 17-18?

I know the idea of being in Chicago in November instead of AZ may be less then thrilling, but maybe Dave and Charlie can tell you how much fun it can be visiting (and eating) with some great people at the show!

Thanks go out to Bruce too, for another awesome addition to the site.

BA

BA,

Sounds like a hoot. I have no problem with cold climes, good food, and new friends. I visited Chicago for the 1st time in March (interviewing another original owner) and absolutely loved it. Will be starting a new job in October and may be a challenge to get off. But you have my attention.

Thanks

I had considered pulling the 35 SLR out of hibernation a couple of times and doing exactly what you described. Now I'm convinced. Just more stuff to pack around at SCR-X!

I don't think ANYONE would stand for that. Sorry to say, my friend, but you created a monster when you started this whole 'tradition' thing!

None of us can do what you do!
