Here are a few snap shots I took this year at the Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals. This is just a small taste of how much fun this show is. I've heard about it for the past couple years, and I'm glad I took the weekend to go check it out myself, well worth the drive. Awesome show! Enjoy a the pics

What's the story of the white and gold 69 survivor with the H/O emblems?

Prototype car?

 

Very cool Ryan!

The 442 with the Toronado wheels, is that the 4wd bugger?

Pat

 

Nice! Great pic's. The last few are barn finds?

 

love the pictures.. whats up with the hurst olds in the barn finds?

 

Very cool!
The barn finds are interesting.
Thanks for sharing. I bet it was a great show.

 

Did you mean FWD not 4wd?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nicest car in the show, in my eyes.

 

Excellent pics. Thanks.

 

to all that posted pix's of the event , thank you and keep um coming

 

The 442 with the Toro wheels is a front wheel drive 442 with a Toronado drivetrain.Long story short, George Hurst is the one that wanted the build the car this way to show advantages of a front wheel drive performace car.

 

unfortunately, the wheel wells severely limited the traction that could be achieved by the front wheels. the largest tire that bill(the owner of 42 years) could run was a 205-width. he tried 235's but the tires would scrub the wheel wells during turns, especially with bumps.

the disadvantage of a fwd performance car is that when the drive tires break loose, your steering goes bye-bye too. bill did say that this car was a dream to drive in 8" of snow, the rear end didn't get weird at all. since he had owned a '68 toronado before he found this car, he knew how to drive a fwd'er in the snow, instinctively. bill is a really great guy to talk to, too.

i was quite smitten with that '69 f-eightyfive w31, the chebby color really looked great on it, and i'm not a fan of green...


bill

 

I was drooling about that car. Aboslutely awesome.

 

I liked the Fourandao sign and plate.

 

Thanks for taking and sharing all the great pics.

 

great pics TK, represents the show very well! that black with blue 61 Pontiac bubble top with 4 spd was one of my favorites. what a show.
Charlie,,,

 

I think Ron Krier owns that 69 H/O barn find.

 

Great pics guys, thanks for posting them.

 

That 66 W30 aircleaner is such a weird, beautiful thing. Although I guess I'd rather have a 67 W-30, all things considered, the rarity of the 66, and the three carb OAI makes it a wonderful sight. I wonder if there are 3 filter elements in there.

Although I doubt the Swedish Bikini Team made an appearance, could one say that it doesn't get any better than this?

 

Great pictures. Loved the show!

 

Thanks for the photos, guys.

The air cleaner shroud for the 66 has three bases like the small air cleaners used welded into it, with three small filters, same as the separate cleaners use. However, early shrouds like that one are about 1/4" shorter than the late ones so the filters must be squashed a little so the top will close onto the bottom. The original filters were screen with foam, so the factory easily pressed the screens down a little. The shrouds were stamped in Kirksite (lead-based alloy) dies at Demmer Tool and Die in Lansing and were not as well formed as the second run of shrouds.

 

Another thank you for the pictures. So cool

 

That sounds right. I happened to walk up to the car when Ron Memmer was there. So he told me a little about what Ron K went through to buy the car.

 

nice pictures, thanks for posting!

 

Great pics-Thanks, Yah the black Catalina is just awesome!

Nice work Diego! I can't help but wonder when all those pics were taken, as the show was packed and I see no one else around : )
