We had the Annual Joe Kidd Dodge show this afternoon. We had over 100 cars turnout on a beautiful sunny day.
After nearly 30 years sitting dormant the 500 comes out in style. Taking Best of Show today.
Thanks to all that came

Wow... 30 years !!!! Is that the original paint/survivor condition or has it been restored post 30-year hibernation?

The car looks great !!!!  Sure it's T3 though? Looks T5 copper.......

I think that car was at the Milwaukee Aero Car meet two years ago.  I've got more pics of it on my computer at home.  I'm sure Doug S. knows who it is.

It's gone thru a ground up restoration. Danny and myself looked at it last year before the restoration started. The car only has like 12000 miles on it. But while sitting in the garage for all that time it was used for many things like sitting house paint cans on the decklid, ladders on top of it, etc - just your typical garage shelf. After the original owner beat the snot out of it for the 1st few years. Family took over and he just stuffed it away in the garage and basically forgot about it. I'd heard about the car for many years in the early 80's but could never find it. Just one of those typical long lost ghoste stories you hear about from time to time.

Original owner kept it up till the mid/late 80's . Then a friend of mine bought it and just re-stored it in his garage until last year when a local guy made a rediculusly high offer on the car and obviously bought it.
It's an original Mr Norm car that stayed in the Greendale / Laurenceburg Indiana area all it's life . Now in the Cleves Ohio area ( only about 4 miles away)

Danny may be able to confirm or deny the color code , I thought it looked like T5 but a friend of mine said it was coded for T3 .  I was vending so I didn't get a chance to really look it over when the hood was up.

Nope, yesterday was the 1st and only show it's been to in it's life. Until last year with, exception ot a few locals , virtually no one knew about the car.

Ok, the one i'm thinking of is maybe T5.

I was at the show and that 500 really stood out.  It was BEAUTIFUL.  I thought it was T5 as well, however, I never got a good look at the fender tag.  I also really liked the Panther Pink Challenger T/A.  Although, I wasn't sure if it was an original pink car.   Didn't matter...still very nice.

Nice show overall.  (sorry no pics... )

Bill I was going to stop and introduce myself, but you were busy with customers and thought it would be rude to interrupt.  We'll meet another time, I'm sure.

 it looks too dark to be t-3,.. looks great though... 

[gtx6970]

The Pink TA was originally a burnt orange + black int car ( + is a real TA though)

[paironines]

It does look T5 except for the picture thats showing the interior; the top of the door looks T3.   

[PocketThunder]

Here is the car i was thinking of.

So he finally took the car out to a show huh Bill.

The car is a T5 bronze car though. Can't be 100% on it as I am in California and my info is in Indiana,  but I'm 99% sure
