Sorry I didn't get to meet everyone who went to MATS. It was a pretty good show, but it was my first. I don't think it could get any better for me since I got to hang out with the the S/S Hemi guys/gals throughout the weekend. I was like a dream to be there listening to all the stories and the "behind the scenes" things that went on back then. They are also the nicest group of people I have had the honor of hanging out with.
I got to meet Rick from Laysons and Don from FBO. They were both great guys to talk to. MOPARJ I believe I have a few pics of your ride.
66dartman I didn't have much of a chance to check out the swapmeet, but a few months ago there was a nice pink 66 cuda on craigslist las vegas. I think I still have that ad printed out somewhere because I wanted to get car but didn't have the money at the time. IIRC they only wanted $2500 at the time.
Mike I took a group out to see the Torino Collection. I had Tom Hoover, Tom Coddington, Don and Joan Grotheer (their RR is in the collection), Ed Miller, Dick Oldfield, and Shirley Shahan. It took a little doing, but got them all there. Tom Hoover later told me that at first he thought I was just taking them to see a couple of cars in a warehouse, but after getting there he was glad I had pushed to get them there. His eyes lit up and he started telling us all about the cars. It was an awesome experience to see and hear them all there.
Arlen Vanke and Judy Lilly are also wonderful people that I truly enjoyed spending time with. For all our New Mexico members they will be at the Southwest Mopar event.
I can honestly say this was the best weekend of my life:cheers:
I'll get some pics up as soon as I get a chance to resize them.
