Re: GM Carlisle....
The concept car looks alot better in person than in photos, but that rear treatment still can't compete with the perfect lines of the 69...

Re: GM Carlisle....
Wayne Schmeekle (sp.?) had some cool cars on display too, including this gold Berger COPO. I had the opportunity to meet Wayne on Saturday, a really nice guy!

Re: GM Carlisle....
New "Motion" car. This one is a Phase III, and IMO it's alot more tasteful than the one they had at SEMA, lacking the scoops and spinners,etc. Joel and Marty were also there, signing autographs and answering questions...

Re: GM Carlisle....
Very cool LS5 1-owner 70 Elco... loaded with options. The owner is semi-local to me, and a cool guy. he told me a story about removing the tailgate panel and filling it with cloth bank bags loaded with 150lbs of lead shot, making the car plant hard. He said it often ran with LS6 cars by pulling them off the line by 2 or 3 carlengths while they went up in smoke... According to him, it took a long time for anyone to figure out what he was doing...

Re: GM Carlisle....
I missed seeing anyone from the site while I was there (I did bump into Charlie at the Sunnyside Fri. evening). I had planned to set up at my space Sat. but the forecast was too scary, and the sky looked like it, so I never unloaded a thing. My space neighbor brought a Nova for sale, but didn't really set up and he wasn't there much at all. Guess I can't blame him. Plans are already in the works for next year (weather permitting, of course) for 4-6 spaces with a vast uncovering of 30 year collections of '55-'72 VERY neat stuff.
I got to see Bob's old Nassau Blue Belair and it's still looking good! By the way Bob, I talked to Don Fezzel about SCR9 and he just might be willing to bring one of the Z-11s. (He now owns FOUR). I told him I'd send you his number so you can contact him. And thanks to CamaroJoe for the blurry distant photo of me lurking in bldg T behind all those super cars.... Hope to meet more of you next year... Verne

[/ QUOTE ] Although I've only seen pictures of the new Motion cars, I would have to agree that this one is much nicer than the Camaro that was shown at the SEMA show. IMO that SEMA car was just too over the top and not reminiscent of the cars from the '60's.
