Supercar reunion pics

[DaveBonnell]

Hi guys, great show! I loved seeing all of these ultra rare supercars! It's not everyday you get to see 30 yenkos, Nickeys, and Baldwin cars all in the same room.

Some interesting info a few of you St. Louis guys might like is that my grand father used to be the sale manager of Francis Chevrolet in the late 60's and then for Johnny Londoff in 1970 Londoff. He is responsible for bringing in most of the SYC cars to the St. Louis area. When Don Yenko came to St. Louis for business in 1969, Chevrolet had my grand father show him around town. Kinda cool when I was talking to my grand father a few years ago about cars and Yenkos, and he says "yeah I met him once, he was a pretty nice guy."

Anyways heres the link to the pictures:

Thanks for the pictures. That aqua Nickey Camaro is beautiful. I wish you had taken some pictures of the Phase III GT Corvette that I saw in the background though.

30! Try around 45! [Note: the reason I say "around" 45 is due to the lack of my making to the Gateway Center before everyone headed to the track !] Anyway, EXCELLENT pics Dave!

1996Z15: We will hopefully have pictures up on the Reunion page within a couple of days, and you can check out that 'Vette...

Thanks guys, yeah I had a blast! By the way do you guys consider the newer Camaros and firebirds modified by SLP Engineering, or that 2001 Berger Camaro, as "Supercar" material? I mean they were farmed out to SLP and Berger. I'd just like to know what you guys think. I wonder about this question from time to time.

Hey also, If any of you local (St. Louis area) Supercar or muscle car guys want to have a joint show/cruise with us (F-body Association of St. Louis F.A.ST. for short, please drop us a line at our message board or email me at [email protected]. We would love to do a joint event with you guys any time! Our club consists mostly of the newer LT1 and LS1 powered cars but we do have some 1st and 3rd generation f-cars. Again, we would love to do something with your club. Thanks!

I had a blast! My convertible used a half a tank of gas each way, and got covered in bugs on the way home. It was incredible to see those cars run. And I'm sure everyone feared my mighty 16-second run.

That Light Blue Yenko towards the bottom was beautiful!! Dan

It was like the movie "Field of Dreams" where the guy built the baseball field in a cornfield after hearing a voice say "If you build it, they will come." Well, Tom built it and they came. A room full of SuperCars. Yenkos, Motions, Harrells, 427 COPOs, ZL1s, LS6s, and Z/28s. I heard several people say it was the most fantastic show they ever saw. Sunday morning I ran by some old corn fields near the hotel. I was pretty tired from staying up late but I could have sworn I saw Don Yenko, Dick Harrell, and Fred Gibb walking back into the cornfields. Great job Tom !

Great pics. Looks like it was a great show. Now I can't wait for my 69 Z28 JL8 crossram car to be finished. It's going to take at least a year though.
