Another retro-Willys.


I think that's a '40 grille, as opposed to the more popular '41 style.




Another nicely done '32 sedan.


COOL--redlines and Cragars on this '56 Pontiac Safari (their Nomad).




Yenko-striped Chevelle with BIG cam and HUGE rump-rump idle.


"Matranga" '40 Merc custom.


"Patina'd" '32 highboy.


Art Morrison's '55 Chevy test car--with the Morrison frame upgrade and Bill Mitchell 427 small-block. COOOOOL.


Second-gen with new crate LS-7 (I think---it was the new Corvette engine) plus a six-speed.

Neat Deuce with '60s Buick nailhead.


Different way to do a V-dub! Cool!


Satin shoebox Ford. Plate said "GREASY."


'32 with Duval-style windshield and Doane Spencer style hardtop.


Last one!!!

A clean '56 Chebbie post.


That's all folks.

'66 Shelby Ragtop is one of those dozen or so "continuation" cars from the '80's. A very nice guy won it a couple of years ago in one of those Ronald McDonald House giveaway raffles. I appraised it for him during negotiations with the IRS over its declared value. You'd like to think that a project as bold as creating a dozen "new" Shelbys with Shelby VIN's would use only the finest Mustangs as donors and would be painstakingly remanufactured...and you'd of course be wrong. IIRC, that car started out as a '65 6 cylinder car and it had been in a fight or two. One quarter was patched with a section spliced in vertically over the wheel opening!.

But hey, it is a REAL SHELBY, (sorta kinda).

Looks like some neat cars showed up. I didn't go this year as I had already hit Minnesota's BACK TO THE 50's while visiting the parents last month, so Goodguys seemed redundant. The thru-'72 rule change caught a lot of people by surprise this year. There should be a larger influx of late '60's iron next year. Probably not so many Mustangs, though, since the big Mustang Roundup in Bellevue is always the same weekend.....
