Default ZL1 #16 "it's somethin' else"

I have known Ken Barnhart since 1999, and liked him the very moment we first met in LaHarpe. He is a true gentleman and a great guy. His story has now been published by Doug Marion in the June/July issue of CHEVY RUMBLE magazine. For the Camaro aficionado, this article has great history and nice pictures of Ken's car and his accomplishments. I think Ken's car is one of the best of the best. I recommend you add this magazine to your collection.

Oh, let's not forget another article in the same magazine. One about a certain Red '67 Camaro with a little history of it's own!!!

Congratulations to both of the Ken's on the great coverage by Doug Marion. Two great cars and two well deserving gentlemen [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img] in the hobby/lifestyle we are all addicted to.

Incidently.....I'm hearing the magazine may soon be published monthly rather than the current bi-monthly schedule. Let's hope so. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Hey Ken Boje, I finally was able to find a Chevy Rumble (hard to come by in my area for some reason) and got to read the article on your car. Congratulations on getting some nice exposure in a national magazine. I love the car. One of these days I'll actually make it back to the LaHarpe show where I can see it (and you) in person.

Arrived in the States to spend the 4th with my wife's family. First stop Barnes & Noble to pick up a couple of copies of Chevy Rumble. Can't wait for the reunion!!!!

Came across a copy of Super Chevy, 4/2004 with Ken's #16 ZL-1 featured. It's probably in another thread, but I couldn't find it, so here it is.

Ken and Jerri are likely the most down to earth and humble people I know. Just a blast to be around and never a dull moment. Ken can tell stories all day long without ever repeating one of them and they are the greatest stories. I had to bust his chops one day at LaHarpe as he was having a little trouble getting into the ZL1.
