There was a guy that had a SubLime70 340 Swinger that took the Best In Class in the 67-72 stock A Body class.
Green paint overspray all over everything.
Crappy paint, etc
Right next to it was a freshly restored 68 or 69 red 340 4 speed and he got nothing.
Problem is the green car was.......
It was 70 nose on a 75 Swinger with 70 rear side light panels welded in.
The guy swore that it was a 70 and I did not know what I was talking and pointed at the VIN plate and data tag....which showed a 70 34 Swinger.
So I ran down the list of discrepancys to him and the judge......
73 and up A/C firewall
75 and up fender braces
75 and up cluster
74 and up 1 piece seat belts
73 and up no vent window doors
73 and up no metal showing on top of doors
Large bolt pattern wheels
73 and up disc brakes
70 VIN tag was pop riveted in.
Judge did not care.
I talked to the lady in charge of the show judging.
She said the judging decision was final.
So I told her that the judge had as much knowledge about A-Bodies as an 8 year old Dale Earnhardt fan and had no business judging.
She got really upset and asked me to leave.
I'll leave my response to her to your imagination.
