The white '70 W-30 4 speed convertible with powder blue hood and side stripes originally belonged to Paul Mayo. He and I used to race together. Was his car displayed at the 2024 show??

 

And how was the same car photographed in stock condition as well as lettered concurrently? I am perplexed.

 

How is a 1972 Vista (yeah, even with a 250 HP net 455) considered a "muscle car"?

 

Same could be argued about the Vans or full-size cars with big blocks. Some of the cars (and trucks) on display were super nice period vehicles. Last year, or year before, they had an entire section of wagons. They always have certain themes that they group stuff together in. If you've never been I highly recommend going at least once.

 

Great pictures.
Those are some beautiful cars for sure.
Thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks for all the pictures. Looked like a great show as usual.

 

I guess the same way a Toronado is considered a muscle car. I don't know where the real definition of a muscle car is but I don't think it includes wagons. I am pretty sure that is Bryan Lacy's car and it is as nice as one could be. Their show, their rules.

 

Yes it is, I chatted with him for a few minutes. Hell of a nice guy.

 

Looks like another great show! Thank you for sharing!

 

When I was a young man we all had cars of course. Most were small block A-bodies. But, one friend had a 68 Vista. It had a 400/400 combo w/ a 12 bolt. It was more than likely the fastest car in the group but we made fun of it and didn't even consider its' potential. The lightweight 421 Pontiac wagon is where I'm going with this.

I went to this show on Saturday. Wow! I've gone at least 10 years and am always amazed. The Daytona Charger (black) is one of my friends cars. Hemi 4 speed. Very nice.

My favorite grouping were the Buicks. They had a bunch of Stage 1 verts. Just an awesome show.

 

Great pics! Thanks foo you all for sharing!

 

Thanks for taking the time to post all the great pictures. I've only made it there once but definitely have it on my list of things to do again.

 

Thanks for sharing all of the pictures.

 

I was standing in front of the 5 mile GNX looking at the pic of it covered in dust and made a crack about how could you let it get that way. An older guy asked if I had any questions and I turned around and saw his name tag, Richard Clark! We ended up talking for almost 10 minutes about his cars, my old GN, his old Speaker Works GN and his fastest in the country 6sec GN. Super nice guy and what a treat.

 

Awesome pictures. Been watching the U-tube vids and that W43 is spectacular. Inquiring minds want to know, does it run and has it been dynoed?

That Hurst GP 'vert blows my mind, as does the "barn find" Hurst GP. I've seen lots of the latter, never the former until now. Also, that 421 Tempest wagon is something else too. Was that one equipped w/ the transaxle (and "rope" driveshaft)?
Thanks for sharing!

 

Yes it does. It was in Hemmings, something like an easy 560 hp. Also, I think that wagon was the car found in a ditch in a field years ago but I never got to talk to the owner.

 

the original restored car was a race car, it was restored back to original, then they built a replica car as the race car. They were displaying them side by side. It was a fantastic show

 

I have had similar experiences by just talking to guys around the cars. The owners are usually just sitting behind their car like at a show. (which this is, haha) I have met a lot of really nice folks by just piping up and asking a question about their car. What car guy doesn't want to talk about their car? I met the owner of the prototype Boss 302 one year and visit him whenever he is there. What a show!

One year my friend showed 2 of 4 of the W-30 4 Speed Verts he owned.






Another year was the Hurst Invitational.





Doc Watson and Linda Vaughn.

 

So Andy, the original Paul Mayo car was Paul's actual car, and the lettered car was not Paul's car? The lettered car was identical to Paul's race car. I saw Paul's car new and at the track lettered. WOW.

 

Looked like a good time. Thanks for sharing.

 

Thanks for posting the pictures for us.

 

Thats some heavy metal!

 

Thanks for the pics.....as usual, one HECK of a show! As others have already said, put this on your bucket list.

 

Also, as many cars as you see in these pics, this is just a fraction of the cars actually there. It truly is unbelievable how many cars are at this show. And each one seems to have a unique story. They even had an entire section that were High School cars, cars guys had in high school that they still owned today.

 

Thanks a million for sharing all of these great photos.
