Wow, that's a creative marriage proposal! Will they want to use your car in the wedding procession, Charley? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Both of your cars looked great there. And what a surprise to see the Ken Barnhart cars there; a surprise to me that an original owner ZL1 is only 20 miles from my home. I had no idea [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/blush.gif[/img]

I'm certainly learning a lot of interesting things from this site.

Charley,
That's going to make a fantastic story associated with the history of your car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] We had just come back up-stairs Friday night when we heard the distant rumble of a certain Orange '02 ZL-1 #16. We were there when Ken and Geri pulled in. The smile on his face almost brought tears to my eyes. Then the latest version of #3 arrived. WOW! These things just keep getting better.
Most of the guys in our group had the pleasure of seeing the '69/'02 car display and to talk with you all. There were many comments about how friendly and accessible you and Barnhart were. You have some new fans!
Bill Pritchard, it was a pleasure to finally meet you. I wish we had more time to spend with all the folks on this site. Thanks also to Cap't. Carl, Kevin Hand, and to Gary, Robin and Logan Holub for taking the time to stop and say Hi. And a special Thank You to my travelling companion, Dennis Hartweg. It was a special week-end.

P.S. Thanks for the photos, Charley. We always look forward to your shots from the shows.

You can talk to Barnhart but don't leave your Kids alone near him... [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I had my best time ever at this years show. Loaded with sYc members cars and guest appearences. Everybody was great. Memorable displays were the 4 70 Chevelle SS cars, Dennis H's Gibb COPO, and best of all the Berger Display. I have never met Barnhart and my half hour conversation with him was worth the trip alone!! The most amazing stories. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img] BTW thanks <font color="blue"> </font color> Rick N for checking out my Chevelle!

Hey, no sweat Frank. I enjoy looking at cars that have not been butchered or have 10 repaints. That car has definite potential, all it takes is $$$ [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] . As soon as you get me that paperwork, I will get started and take a road trip as soon as possible.

Had a great time as well. Dennis Barker is a nut! I felt like I did a hundred sit-ups listening to him laugh! I am sure he had a hefty bar bill as well (on the Berger credit card)! Good to finally see the car (02 ZL-1 car) almost finished. I loved it so much I bought Holub's #2 garnet red car. What the he-- am I thinking! Had alot of great conversation with some board members also. Highlight for me was meeting Helen and Nancy Gibb. Matt Murphy brought them over to the car and had some pics taken, and Helen signed my car. Great people, and Helen is sharp as a tack! Mine and Holubs kid also had a little fun on the side. Seems they found a green marker and X'd their hands to get in free to the miss teen pageant that was going on in the hotel! Boy was I proud! He saved 25 bucks! Congrats Tim on the funnycar. Probably have alot of buyers at $27500 now! Rob, can you post a couple of pics for me? Thanks.
