Alright, here are 3
First is ramp truck with Hemi Bird on the back. It will be pulling the 24' trailer with Y2 yellow Daytona inside.

The ramp will be followed by the Dodge pickup pulling the Alaska bird on open trailer

This will be followed by our Silver metalflake bird which we are driving. The last picture shows us ready to roll. All the tires, brakes, lights, signals, chains, fluids, belts are checked, most are new. Lots of extra parts in the ramp truck storage, plus 8 chairs. Coolers pre-loaded, will ice in the morning.

I think Ernie Hildebrand is meeting up with us to caravan down. We are leaving southern Indiana Thursday morning 8-8:30am driving south on I-65 to Birmingham, then 280 to the parking area.

The wives were asked to have their pic taken!

[taxspeaker]

OK, Here are a couple. The purple Bird is pictured with 35 years of owners-Mike Hill on the left, Bob Jennings in the middle and Sy Behrens on the right. I was intrigued by the Nuremburg Daytona.

Now, here is what is going to happen soon. We drove our gray bird down with the trusty GoPro on the wing. Recorded all the way down, including meetup's with Ernie's Daytona and Stuarts Bird convertible. We then recorded ALL DAY friday-every 5 seconds a shot, so on Monday (?) we hope to get into them, organize and somehow put a link somewhere so everyone can see and download if they wish. I will leave that to Matt who is th video specialist and who drove the gray bird round trip, all the while wearing a s___-eating grin!

The other picture I took this afternoon in Bowling Green, KY on the way home. We stopped for the wives to do their business and for the gray bird and other truck to gas up, all at the exit where the Corvette Museum resides. I thought it would be a cool picture to have it in the background because of the obvious inadequacies of Corvette owners. As I stopped in front these 2 guys were doing something, and in my 2nd shot the guy in the red shirt is walking towards me yelling What the hell do you think you are doing? I calmly responded "trolling for assholes" and drove off!

More to come. The best non "life event" 2 days of my life.

Thanks
The first link worked

Anyone know how many wing cars and 500's showed up ?

[white]

I counted 12 C500, 2 were cloned as Daytona's. Not sure on count of other cars.

Would have been 13 but I did Atlanta but not Talladega.

Who would clone such a rare car as a C500 into a Daytona? A bog stock 70 into a Daytona?...thats fine....but a 500? That's insane to my mind.

back in the day, no one cared about 500s... Get a wing and nose assembly from Ted Janak and voila, you had a Daytona........

500 lives matter !!!!

[alfaitalia]

I guess I never thought of it having been done years ago. Still a shame though....personally I would far rather have a 500 than a Daytona.

2602 miles on the truck and trailer and an additional 493.8 miles on the Bird, but we're back home in one piece. Gonna take a few days to get the "house" back in order and some pictures together and downsized to post here..

Great meeting MANY from the board.. unfortunate that we somehow missed a few.

very cool photos, ben. it was great meeting you

[white]

It was great meeting everyone, my Family had a great time. My 500 was not completely done the way I wanted it but just had to get it there anyway possible. Cant wait for the next one so I can spend more time talking with everyone more.

[birdsandbees]

Only three I've found time to downsize so far... the important ones at least!!
