I have several autographs I have collected over the years, all the ones I have I got them myself and meet there peopel, all great people!! I don't really collect them, but when I put them all together I guess I have a bunch, here are some to start the thread off. Feel free to post any that you have :glasses7:

First pics are Bob Riggle, very nice guy, the first time I met him was in Brainerd MN when he first got the 66 out at the track, I was 14 or 15 years old, got to hang out in the pits with him all weekend, he took pics of me sitting in his car and told me and my friends many stories from back in the day. He even gave me and my 2 other friends Hemi Under Glass t-shirts and signed all of them, we all wore them the next day and people thought we were part of his crew...I will never forget that, he was a super awesome guy!!!

2nd autograph was taken at the Mopar nats (around 2004?) awhile back, but Bob still remembered me :glasses7:

John Schneider "Bo Duke"

This guy was awesome! Met him at the Mopar nats around 96 or 97, he held a "Yeee Haaaw" contest with small groups of fans throughout the day, he yelled with us too LOL, pretty cool to say I did that with a real Duke boy :glasses7:

Miss Mopar Performance 1992, Janine Buck....what a babe, I was in love :love7: Dad went to a Mopar show in Souix Falls ND in 92 and she was there. I asked her to sign my magazine picture and also got a huge Mopar poster of her singned too....I was so shy and nervous LOL, she was a hottie!!! My friend who couldn't go with us to the show wanted a poster signed by her too, so when she signed it my dad told her to sign his "Jamie, eat your heart out" LMAO.....I should see if my friend Jamie still has that poster...too funny, she laughed about it too :glasses7:

Larry Reyes, driver of the HAWAIIAN funnycar.....there was a long line next to Don The "Snake" and Larry had nobody in his so I went to meet him first. What a super nice guy, I bought a poster from him for $5 and he signed it, then we chatted for about 20 mins, what a cool guy!!! He is in a wheel chair now, not sure how he got injured but wow, he was very happy to be there and nice to chat with.....True Class Act and a true Mopar Icon :glasses7:

I met Don Gartlits one time at the Nats and had him sign my Mopar Nats T-shirt....like a dumbass, I wore it out and washed it several times...I think that shirt is is now in my rag bag right now, all faded and worn out, but you can still read it, If I can find it, I will post pics, hopefully it isn't all full of grease and oil................:banghead:
 
Don Grotheer, another Very nice guy....his wife hand made the carb covers with the "Heart" logo....he was very proud of that!! :glasses7:

Cool thing about Don's picture/card handout is that its a vintage one, not a new reprinted copy like everyone else has :glasses7:

You've got some great collector items Keith. I'll share a few that I've gotten over the last several years.....

My most prized is the hat that Bob Riggle took off his head & handed to me this year @ the MATS show in Vegas. He is the nicest, kindest person.......what a gentleman :D

I'm actually working on a display case for this hat now that I'll share when finished.

Bob Riggle sure looks like a fun and nice fellow :sunny: That was very nice of him and it looks like you made his day as well :glasses7:
 
I have a Mopar shirt that is signed by Larry Morgan from when he was running Mopar's in pro Stock. I also have a shirt that is signed by Chip Foose. Foose is a super cool guy who was at a show I worked and stayed afterward to have supper with all the volenteers. He is VERY approachable.

I seen Larry Morgan but wasn't able to get an autograph. I also met Alderman and Gene Wilson the same time, they were all running Neon's at the nats that year. :glasses7:

I bought a car magazine from 1965, Modern Rod years ago. The center section is a two folded poster of Richard Petty in a blue 1965 Barracuda and the other car is a 1965 Plymouth Belvedere driven by Ronnie Sox. They are just to leave the starting line. The nice thing is that both drivers have signed the poster!!

I've never met them but sure is a nice collectable. I'll get pictures later.
 

And how can I forget these famous Mopar friends?? I had so much fun meeting all the FABO members this year at the Mopars in the Park show here in MN last June. This year I will plan another meet-n-greet and it should be bigger and better than last years :glasses7:
