Not really a "Supercar", just purchased from a "Super Dealer". Do you, DR or BL have any sort of confirmation about the cars being together? I still haven't heard anything concrete from the show; only what they told me on the phone. 68 COPO II is registered and Barnhart told me he would be there, sans ZL-1.

Bob told me he was confirmed as being in a group of three. Give him a call on Monday at 888-765-2232 and ask if he got that in writing.

L78 Bill, The Bowtie Class is what I put my Chevelle in. It is for cars that are clean nice looking stock but not 100% correct or for custom or modified cars. Kind of a wide class but the good thing is that your car is judged against itself on a 1000 point scale based on 1ST Cleanliness, then workmanship, fit etc.

The Monte Carlo is going for the Gold Spinner. This award is for a 100% correct restored car or for in the case of my Monte, a SUPER nice original that is still all correct. It is a "Concourse" award so to speak. They have an "expert" that judges the car also on a 1000 point scale on all the aspects of it's correctness. My Monte is all correct from day 1 including the original tires, belts & hoses that the car was born with and loads of original paperwork. Our Camaro is just a new car that is a easy winner but it was bought to be a show car.

All and all it is a good show with a lot of cool people, and a decent swap meet. The November show is the one to be at. Bummer is that their is going to be no showcase this year. This will be my 5th year and I can't wait to meet the supercar guys in person! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

They say I have to enter the Bowtie class.....It has an air freshner hanging off the mirror.This will be fun. Anybody heading out to Morris Carshow/Swapmeet tomorrow morning?

Rick, Your out of the Spinner Class because of those homemade Chevy, On The Move 70's floormats in your car not the air freshner! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Ok, so I shouldn't have made the 100% correct statement. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif[/img] How about as close to 100% as you can get. Seriously Rick are you finally going to bring your car to Vette Fest?

So are you bringing the car? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img] Rick N. told me he thought you were coming but wasn't sure you were bringing the car. What would it take to convince you? More cards? More decals? You name it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

68 COPO II · #7 10-23-2002, 10:49 AM

Dennis (OrigLS6),
Make sure you get these fine ladies to stop by your car! Maybe you could get them to sign the inside of your trunk lid [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Frank,
I forgot to thank you for the info about Chevy/Vette fest.

I don't think I will be bringing my car, but I am looking forward to the show.

Hope to see you there,
Billy

Bill I am pumped about the show. I have been cleaning and preparing the cars for the show the past few Sundays. I even have the original owner of my Monte SS whom I have never met comming to the show to see the car and bring original pics and other things. I can't wait to see everyone!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I have been praying to the rain gods that it will not rain since I have 3 cars and no trailer!!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img] They should have never made the show so late in the month.
