Rhinebeck '06. Teh Win !

[BrianShaughnessy]

  Packed up the cooler yesterday morning and headed across the Hudson to Rhinebeck for rod and custom day.

It rained some in the morning but I held off cleaning the thing till it cleared up.   It was a busy day.    My friend sold a pair of my old reverse Cragars for $150 but I said I'd split it with him so even then I was up for the day considering gas, entry, food and beverages (    ) .   

My friend George won the Mighty Muscle award.    He entertained the folks by cranking up the 572 with the cutouts open about every half hour or so.     I won "coolest 60's".    Whatever that means.   Anyway we get to park in the winner circle next year now

Some 4 sale stuff:

a.   '70 RT Clone.   $30K.   Too bad they didn't fix the rot in the wheel wells or frame rails or fix the gaps - especially on the front bumper     Nice package otherwise...  I can't understand putting a nice black paint job on over top without fixing what's underneath.   Makes me wonder how they fixed the body.

b.  64 Polara.   440 with 426 valve cover decals and a pushbutton 727.  No price.  Nice.

c.  68 X.  $16.5K.   Decent car, decent price.

For MA readers only....  from Friday night.    The Savvy Savoy was out and about at Highland.

I won "coolest 60's".    Whatever that means.   

"coolest '60's" means the judges thought your car was the "coolest" from the 1960's!   

Unless of course they have the cars categorized by tire width.

Congrats, Brian. 

That '69 Road Runner with the blown Hemi was at the Adam's cruise in Newburgh. That's a sweet car. I thought about Rhinebeck, but had to get my camping trailer de-winterized & take my daughter to a party at one of her friend's house. Not your typical kids party, this one was outdoors, lots of food, a big bonfire, & they had a projector showing Bugs Bunny cartoons & Monsters Inc. on the side of the house after dark.

Yup..thanks Bob...   and yeah.... George got 2nd place custom award at Adams.    It's actually a 68 with a 69 grill.

He's one of the organizers of a show next Sunday at Rosendale rec. center.   Get something running and come on up.... unless you got a skating party at the roller rink to go to or something

I got there around 3 in the afternoon. Took a walk through the parts corral and then checked out the cars for sale. That GTX did look like a nice car for the money.

Chris, I went and checked it out but nobody was popping hoods or anything and I didn't even think to get shoot the vin pic... hey... it's not like my initials are G.G. and I go around to all the shows taking pics of tags and then reselling the same info back to people 

I talked to a well known local mopar hoarder that had looked at it 2 weeks ago about it... and then my friend knew somebody that checked it out also.    I got a pic of the sheet they put in the window but not any real info for ya there.   

Hope to see ya in 2 weeks.   Hey,  check out www.popyourhood.com for pics from Bear Mt. last week.   I know I didn't make it but some folks did.


Nick:  Not much... mostly just 528 solid cam.  Got a few things waiting for parts to show up.   Hope to see your car in paint soon!  So much for "Chicks dig my bondo"

What else do 'ya have planned?  Hmmm? 

Mine should be painted at the end of this month, I'm hoping.  It's going to be a completely different animal when it gets put back together, too.  Can't wait.  The chicks will have to dig my big, black... uh... Charger.
