Belair, at Vettefest, some folks thought it would be neat to calulate the total value $$$ and horsepower in the showcase. I was not involved, except for a couple of the one of one cars (not mine though). The only reason I know about my car was the fact that when they approached me about the others, they asked what I thought my car was worth. I told them I would leave that up to them. They asked if I thought 250 was a fair price and I responded yes. The only other cars I know about was the '69 Yenko Nova at 300 and the '69 Yenko Camaros at 150+.

I believe the total value $$ was a little over 15 million. I do not remember how much HP. Maybe some else who was there remembers.

Tom this is in no way ment to be a slam against you or anybody, but I heard from a few people that the whole question about the total dollar value and horsepower deal was just a redicules front to feel people out to see what the owners thought there cars were worth so that certain other people can see how their cars were doing in the current market. I heard that several people were asked only the dollar question and the horsepower question was never raised at all.

Tom don't you find it funny that you of all people weren't even given the results of both polls at the show? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Frank, both figures WERE given at the show. Anyone who attended the Supercar Showcase awards ceremony Sunday afternoon would have heard the figures announced. As per accurate, why, etc., I do not know. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] I simply used that figure as a reference.

No problem Tom. Like I said that is just what I heard. True or not who knows. I was not at the awards ceremony because I don't own a supercar. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Well I sure hope all those knowledgeable folks are right...and if they could please form a single file line in front of my house with their checkbooks that would be great... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Frank,

15 million dollars and 33,000 HP. Gary Holoub has the figures framed at his place. It was a great show.

Tom, I mean no disrespect towards you, I was mearly passing along the message from Jim Kirby himself. As for the car, I hope it goes somewhere that the new owner will take it out and show the people how crazy these early funny car drivers were. It takes big balls to run a car like this down a track.
