Scott Faulkner's (70SBIRD) Kansas City Wing car tour

[moparstuart]

Scott told me he was going to be in town this week so I told him to come by and we would go for a ride in the Birdible. I knew of a  weds. night cruise at sonic so i figured we would cruise over there. Well come to find out they had moved it back to may because of slow attendence .  So i called my great friends Dick and Bev Drake and asked if we could cruise over in the birdible and see there wing car collection and alot more.    Ian and I sure had a great time and I hope scott did too.  He went away with a smile on his face anyway .  

  This is dicks son kyles bird ( SPOT) . Kyle is working on one of dicks birds so dick is storing kyles .  Kyle got the mopar muscle ball rolling in the Drakes house but Dick caught the fever hard too

All I can say Is WOW and Thanks!

I was in KC for a couple of days and this was my last night before I had to drive back to Chicago today.
Stuart, thanks again, I completely enjoyed cruising in the 'Birdible with you and Ian, a different experience from my car completely and a lot of fun!
Dick, Beverly and their son Kyle were wonderful people to meet and I am still completely blown away by their collection (besides the one in the garages), but I'll let Stuart fill in the blanks there.
I will be home tomorrow night and get my pictures off of the camera, but Stuart has most of the automotive highlights posted here already
By the way Stuart thanks for posting the pic of me taking a pic of your air grabber, I've decided that was not my best side!

[moparstuart]

  We were invited to go see  the HEMI it is  at kyle's about 5 minutes down the road. Kyle is doing all the mechanical work on the car.


 Some of the cars stored outside mostly friends of kyles cars.    LOOK its hemi geno's truck

ANYTIME  lol    it was great meeting you .
  I have to say scott was very nice and took quintin in his superbird on the parade laps 2 years ago at monster mopar .  I didnt get to meet scott at that time , My car was dead on the rollback so we had scattered to find ride in wing cars.  Some how we never connected all weekend so it was great to meet him and shake his hand and thank him for letting quintin ride around the track. We only had about 3 hours last night but it was great doing this tour.     Thanks for looking me up and cruising with us scott.

   Kyle lost his 71 road runner and a hemi 69 500 in a fire so he got this 71 six pac 4spd car to help fill that void and ease his pain .

I asked scott who gave the better tour   

[70Sbird]

That was actually one of the best parts of the tour. Dick and Bev are no certainly spring chickens,  and to hear them tell the stories of ALL of their cars down to the minute details was really a treat. Dick told the stories of how he acquired these cars and each of the stories sounded like it happend last week, most of these cars were purchased by them 30 years ago! I can only hope that when I am his age I will still be as involved and energized about this hobby!
And by the way, each one of those cars in the basement has its own ID number and is tracked in a database they maintain to keep track of them all. How cool is that! I saw die cast cars there that I never knew existed!

I was really just joking .  You guys saw alot more BIG cars , we just saw some very rare nice cars so it was a totally different type of tour .

I know you were, I was joking too... except I would like someday to see the cars as well.  They are both really cool.  Looking at cool cars is fun no matter where it is.

[moparstuart]

 I could show you tons of nice cars , most of my contacts have restored or nice originals . I dont know of to many barn finds except my own cars  LOL

Its been quite a while since I heard that name. Like the early to middle eighties. If I remember right the 67 GTX is a convertable?  I saw the DOHC Hemi on a stand one night when I stopped by as I was passing thru Kansas City. Very Cool. I take it he is still in the hobby then?

I was told John attended last year's Monster Mopar Weekend, but I never saw him there... would have been nice to see him again.

[moparstuart]
