That's all I do is go to about 3 Mopar car shows a year that have a race track and I highly prefer 1/4 mile tracks. I'm not interested in car shows if they don't have a race track. We don't have to worry about bad sportsmanship because if you get outrun by the same brand you are driving who cares. That way I pull for all of us racing! LOL I also don't care about going to the bigger car shows because I'll get to see about 3 or 4 Mopars to 100 Camaros, 100 Mustangs, 100 '55 Chevys ect...........May be exaggerating but we all know the percentage rate difference is up there. I know that's the way it is and I accept it.

Up here in DFW its more Mopar at the shows than Camaro and Mustang ratio.

Well we survived the Wheels for Wellness show. It was a great show for a great cause. I got to reconnect with some old car show friends of mine that I have known for 20 years. There were over 400 cars. I didn't take many pictures because it was constant people asking about my car lol. I got to walk it quickly once. We lost our shade with about an hour left and the temps went to 100. It was nice and toasty. We were all exhausted when we got home. We got up at 3 am and were at the show at 5:30. We had over 40 Camaro's come with our club. Luckily I wasn't the only 4th gen. There was 1 more and a 3rd gen Iroc.

A few more once the whole group got there.

Even though I'm not a Camaro guy, I'd take any one of those

It was a really good show. Lots of Mopar, Ford, AMC, Tri Five, Model A and T cars, Porsche's actually one I worked on won lol. If you could name it they had it.

I like the '70 front end better that my old '69. Looks a lot cleaner to me.

My uncle had one just like this for a while in 1971. It's what made me fall in love with them back then.

He was about 6'3" tall, and hated the Mach 1. He said you didn't get in it, you put it on.

He bought it to resale, as it was a repo. The passenger door was dented, we fixed it, then he sold it. I tried my best to get him to keep it.

That was my first real job, working for him all summer in his body shop.

He swapped cars more often than the moon changed. If someone made him a good offer on his car, it was gone. There were always several for sale outside his shop.

After working for him all summer, he got back a lot of his money when I bought my first car from him, a 1955 Ford Victoria.

Many days, he closed the shop and we spent all day going from one place to another swapping and trading anything from jewelry, to cars, and anything in between.

It rubbed off on me. For the next 45 plus years, you never knew what I was coming home with, or driving up in.

I've slowed down a lot on that now. Not as much decent stuff floating around that's not overpriced, or junk.

He did, but I think I saw a little bit of a early jump lol.

That era of mustang the 67-70 fastback was really the best looking Mustang of that era. I love that color on a Shelby GT500 I drool over that car and have since I was a kid.

I think the Camaro was late on the leave,it wouldn't have made much differance though,as i think the Cougar could of gave up a length and still caught the Camaro.
I still love Sprinsteens song ,it brings back memories of being a kid,lol

 

[jawzs2]

Boy does this bring back memories. I think I still have my distributor wrench like the one shown about 20 seconds in, LOL
