Tom, I'm not trying to take anything away from what you have created with the "SupeCar Reunion" but I think the water has gotten cloudy in what should be considered a true supercar. Maybe something that would be useful to you and everyone that visits this site is to set up a thread with a poll to let registered users vote for their definition of a supercar. Like mentioned above and in the Douglass/Yenko thread, we'll all continue to disagree to some extent. I hope nobody takes these as personal attacks, but these discussions can only lead to a better awareness of what was really going on back in the 60's and early 70's. The more information we share the more we all learn.

It has to be done or set up prior to delivery when the car was sold new. I still want to know how you consider a car with a situation like Brians an official sYc Nova

A couple of quick questions for ya, Frank. What do you consider Charley's '80 Motion Camaro? What is Richardson's tri-powered 396 Yenko Nova considered? What is "an official sYc Nova"?

Rob, You forgot to include the last part of my question in my quote. "..and not the Douglas cars."

Rob also I stated that in no way I wanted to down anybodys car or have people think that I am doing so, but now you are asking me to give my opinions about other members cars. As far as Charlies car it is considered TO ME as an awesome day 2 example of a supercar by a noted tuner of the day which makes it very special. I think that this may have been discussed in a prior thread about the differences between a Baldwin Motion delar/tuner combo car, and a Motion Performance car. As far as Richardsons tri powered 396 sYc Nova, TO ME if it was either done before new car delivery or at least set up to have been done after the fact prior to new car delivery then it should be considered an official sYc Nova.

I would still love to have my Douglas question answered.

The sqaure peg doesn't always fit into the round hole!

Charley's '80 Motion Camaro, and other late model Pedigreed, Tunner, Super Cars are unique. His is first and foremost a full phase III conversion (and there was "no" other prudent way to legally obtain such a Super Car, other than to have it Converted afterwards).

Hmmm, the neat car thing is stating to make some sense.

Frank,
On another note;We stopped by you and your Dad's display and the cars are looking fine (Even have a few digital pics for you). Why were you hiding by the Corvette Guys?

Marlin, I was wondering where you were at! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Stefano, Thank you. I would love to see the digital pics you took of my cars. My digital pics did not turn out that good. Mabye you could e-mail them to me. I was looking for you and could not find you. I went be Tim L and he said that I just missed you. Great show. My last year with the Corvette guys. I love these super car guys now!

I think that I am on the pay no mind list after my last post.
