XV Motorsports Open House - June 16th

[dqhemi]

XV Motorsports is hosting an open house on Saturday June 16th which is open to everyone who loves classic muscle cars and high performance boats (read on about the boats)!  We'll also be holding two very special drawings for this event.

Our showroom will be open and we will have on hand a wide array of XV Supercars and rare original muscle cars including some original HEMI cars and even a real 1965 A-990 Super Stock car. 

Bring your own muscle car (we want lots of Mopars!) or or any cool ride as our facility has a huge parking lot literally right on the Hudson River.  We expect there to be a large number of very interesting cars - it should make for a great car show as well.

We will have music as well as complementary food and beverages for all. 

You'll also have a front row seat for the National Power Boat Association's NY City Poker Run, one of the largest offshore power boat events in the nation.  If you've never seen really extreme offshore V-Bottom and Catamaran's in action, this is a perfect opportunity.  The starting pack is reserved for boats that run over 100 MPH and the unofficial bragging rights for participants is for who gets to the Tappanzee bridge first - we are just two miles south of the bridge.  So you'll be able to see the fastest boats letting it all hang out.

Our friends at Ocean Performance in Old Saybrook, CT will be here as well with either a maxed out Cigarette or Outer Limits offshore performance V-Bottom boat that you will be on display and you can check out.  These two manufacturers build some of the hottest and fastest boats out there so you'll be able to check out something really special.

Just to make things a little more fun, XV Motorsports is offering two drawings for those who attend.

One by land and one by sea:

-A bonzai run down the Hudson River in XV's own 1000+ HP 38' Cigarette Top Gun named "Loose Cannon"  <br>
-A ride in one of XV's full tilt Mopar Supercars

You can see pictures below.

To be entered in the drawing for either of the rides we're offering, you need to submit a form in advance and let us know you're coming!  You'll also need to indicate whether you want to try for the boat or car ride.

If you've been thinking about coming out to visit us to see our vehicles or our products this is the perfect opportunity to do it! 

We wanted to make this something special and are hoping you will all come and join us for what should be a very fun day. 

We look forward to seeing you on June 16th!

Sounds like a great day! I had no idea I was only an hour away from you guys. I will most likely make the trip. I would kill to see your green '70 Hemi if it's there, and all the other great cars. 

Thanks for doing this. 

[will]

I'm 15 minutes away, woohoo.

Chris,

I'd like to see your Burnt Orange Charger as well.

Yes my '70 HEMI Charger will be there for sure - I'm not in a big rush to let it go.

If you enter the drawing for the ride you can pick that one if you like.... 
However, we'll also have a 68 Charger done for it that we're finishing up now w/ a 600 HP 6.1 HEMI, full Level II suspension, custom leather interior, 14" brakes,
4-speed computer controlled auto w/ overdrive and paddle shifter on the column.  It will be one bad ride. 
So it won't be an easy choice!     

Here's the 70 Hemi 4-Speed car

[CharlieCharger]

I think this would be enough to just fly out there for the day..NICE 70!!   

[bordin34]

I will be there if my trans is rebuilt and my car is registered by then.

John,
It would be an easy choice for me . Give me a ride in a factory 4spd '70 Hemi Charger please...if I win. Heck, can't you fix the drawing?

LOL!  We'll see what we can do to stack the odds in your favor..... 

Looks like Mike will be here with the Bull Run Charger as well. 

Maybe we'll have to carve out part of the lot here just for Chargers.

[mikepmcs]

Crap, i'm changing my ride..I want the ride in the hemi 70' for sure..or.... can I just take a ride in Mr Angry instead?

Man . i wish i could go.
dang!!!!

[bordin34]

Are you guys gonna do anything with Mr.Angry? I would like to see how it stacks up against your suspension.

[dqhemi]

I think this would be enough to just flye out there for the day..NICE 70!!   

Thanks! 

Was nice out here today so we took it out for a spin.  That car attracts alot of attention.
The Charger has 34K original miles, was re-painted once (all sheet metal is original) but is basically a survivor that's never been apart.
1 of 56 70 4-Speed Hemi Chargers and very original. (I really like survivors)

The 65 A-990 Super Stock car we have is another one worth checking out.
Real factory lightweight car w/ factory Race Hemi. 
Beautiful restoration was done on it before we got it.
The car is just an animal.
We brought it to the Atlantic Nat'ls last year and people went crazy over it. 

Here's some shots of it. 

[dqhemi]

No plans for that, just know Mike is planning on being there.

We're finalizing details for an on-track event we are putting together for later this year which people will be able to attend.
Nothing to do with Mike, but will be open to whoever wants to participate up to the number of cars we can handle. 
This will be on a real deal road race course.  Won't be Mopar only - but will be musclecar only.

[bordin34]

I wish I would at least have my permit by when you have the road race thing. I dont think a stock 74 charger with 14" wheels and original brakes would handle too well.

[Dodge Don]

When is the open house in your Canadian shop??? 

[jasonfromIKILLYA]

my car isn't in the state, but you can bet your ass I'll be there!!

[dqhemi]

When is the open house in your Canadian shop??? 

Actually, there was a tour held there for an Ontaio based Mopar club two or three weeks ago. 
I believe it was the same folks that are involved w/ Moparfest with about 25 members visiting.

We're better set up here in NY for open house type events. 

[myk]

I fixed the links...

I wish I was closer.

Troy

I wish I could afford their suspension packages...   

[Silver R/T]

wish I could attend

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Would love to be there with my 69 Charger (to complete the trifecta! )
Getting Saturdays off is pretty tricky for me....I wont know till a few days before.

I would cruise up with Chris G & his '70

[NYCMille]

Hey guys - this is primed to be a VERY nice event. The XV Motorsport facility is right on the Hudson River and is simply stunning both inside and out. Plus, you will be blown away by some of the cars that are in the showroom. I will absolutely be there and look forward to meeting everyone on this list who can attend.

Cheers - Mike

[bordin34]

Well, I sent my stuff to Texas to get my 74 Charger registered so there is a 10% chance the car will be there.

[bordin34]

Thats because you're in NY and NY likes you, I'm in NJ and NJ hates you and me and everybody else.

[70charger_boy]

Would I get tarred and feathered if I show up in my 75 trans am?

[jasonfromIKILLYA]

so everyone is going down the coast with me afterwards to get slammed at Duffs right? 

[runninhorn]

DQ, how much ballpark for a pro-touring 70 Cuda?

[dqhemi]

Would I get tarred and feathered if I show up in my 75 trans am?

Definitely not. 
It won't be all Mopars here.

I already know of some pro touring cars that are not Mopars that'll be here for sure.

Mopar Action / Rick Ehrenberg will be her as well.

Well, you guys are only 2 hours away from me I'll try to make it

[dqhemi]

DQ, how much ballpark for a pro-touring 70 Cuda?

Cars we build start at about $135K and go to $230K. 
Price is driven by year and model of car we start with and what goes into it as there are many, many options on how we can build them.

A fully loaded '70 Cuda w/ custom interior and all will run in the $180's to $190's.
Can be done for less w/ stock interior, etc.

If you are interested, give us a call and we can spec out a complete build.

[dqhemi]

Quick update...

We'll have at least one and very possibly two new XV cars at the Open House. 

Here's the one that will be here for sure: 71 Challenger Convertible, 600 HP 6.1 HEMI, functional shaker hood, Viper Spec T56 6-Speed w/ triple cone synchros and 4.30 gears.  This one has 335's out back with no tubbing.

I'll put up a post w/ more pics of this car in the next day or two.
These are just some quick shots I took.

Mike M saw this car at a show we did last weekend.  People were really liking this one.

Other car is a '68 Charger, but I'm not 100% sure it will be here yet.

[autodynamics]

overchrged is coming...!!

[dqhemi]

We're hoping to see many of you guys tomorrow!

We don't know what the total turnout will be, but we have people panicking we're going to be swamped.  We know of quite a few cars that will be there for sure, some friends of ours shipped in two cars from CA just for the event, including a 70 Cuda running a small block w/ twin turbos.  We've also been told two wing cars will be there.

The boat that will be on display is a brand new 39' Top Gun Cigarette running a pair of 700's.  Our friends from Ocean Performance will be there to show people the boat and give tours of it.

Loose Cannon (it's a 38' Top Gun running a pair of Merc Racing HP525's) will be docked nearby as well ready for run up and down the Husdson for whoever wins the drawing.

We'll also be handing out/announcing the first info on the Open Track event we have put together for October.  This has been setup as a full driving school/open track day w/ professional instructors -  just for musclecars...

Anyway, looking forward to meeting any of you who make it and should be a good time. 
Weather looks good too - whew!

[bordin34]

I just got back, it was great. I got there at 10:30 and left at 1:00 after the boats passed. I saw overcharged and my father talked to him. Saw Mr.Angry and Mike but he was always surrounded by people. There were lots of 71 e-bodies there. Pics soon.

[bordin34]

Here are the pictures






EDIT: I removed a few pics because this one post was over 5MB and it was killing the page loads for a lot of people. Here's a link to the album: http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/bordin34/Xv%20Motorsports%20Open%20House/?start=all

[miamivice]

very very nice cars and shop.  thanks for posting, im sure most of us wish we could of been there.  could you please however explain the reasoning about posting the pic of their toilet.

 

[bordin34]

They had such a nice facility I though that people deserved to see all of it.
Me, I know that's the biggest bass anybody has ever seen.

[Chris G.]

Good stuff Bordin. My pictures are almost identical, so no need to post them. Nice meeting John B., but he's a busy guy. Hung out with wingcar king John A. and his buddy. It was a fun ride home until I hit the monsoon on the parkway.    That's 3 out of 3 for rain trips this year.

[jasonfromIKILLYA]

yo dude!  Your pics totally wrecked my browser!!!  I don't know what you did, but it jacked me up!

I decided to show up a fashionable 3 hours into show and everyone was either leaving or had left.  it made my 46 minute train ride so enjoyable.  oh well.  I

Hey Brian, I spy the new dash gauge package set up there.  Which gauges did you opt for and any other pics?

PS---who won the rides in the Hemi Charger or the boat?

[jasonfromIKILLYA]

[autodynamics]

[Shakey]

Your car rocks Pete!      Great talking with you....     and Mike... and Jason too!  And of course Chris and John.

I'll probably be getting with you sometime on what we talked about   

Oh yeah... that Trans Am sounded great leaving.

A few more pics.

haha!  hey!  that's my elbow in the trans am shot! 

[NYCMille]

All in all it really was a great day... Jason - dude, sorry I missed ya' man - we'll have to grab a beer really soon.

AutoDynamics (Pete) - I am simply amazed Pete built this car from stem to stern in under a year and turned out PERFECT - looks amazings, sounds fantastic and goes like stink! It's A LOT nicer than most of the show cars out there... my hat is off to you man! 

I also finally got to meet Brian with his 69' which is another beautiful ride, just a really great day.

Mike

[dqhemi]

Thanks to everyone for making the trip out to our place.

Sounds like everyone had a great time, and we really enjoyed the day but are all pretty tired today.

There were definitely many really nice rides that came out, which was great.

Boats flying by was pretty cool too.  I was told the lead boat was running about 140 as it went by.
Sure sounded awesome.

My only regret is I didn't get to meet everyone as I was running around all day.

Anyway, we'll definitely be doing this again.

[autodynamics]

here are some of my pics!!!!!!      i love the trans am camaro and mustang !!!!!



and my favorite

[NYCMille]

  .... and I feel that way everytime I jump behind the wheel of that thing! 

[jasonfromIKILLYA]

I remember that feeling..... 

[70charger_boy]

   I don't know that feeling, cause my charger is crap..

[autodynamics]

damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
