I'll be there Saturday with a group of guys.

There was supposed to be a 3rd gen display of mint, low mile, original cars. Not sure what's up with that right now.

Why would one of your cars not be included in this?

Thats really funny :)

I had a car at the mcacn inaugural show in 2008. I found out later that a bunch of members from from a Pontiac forum I have been a part of for nearly 20 years went through. I was there for 3 days & I wondered how many avatar names I walked right past & had no way of knowing. A bright colored t shirt is probably the only thing that would have worked. Such a huge show & so many people. I need to get down there again. Its been at least 5 years. I hope to have my 68 GTO finished for the show next year, but we will see........ Hard to believe it's the 10 year anniversary already. Bob & the crew do an amazing job!

I met Bob in Green Bay when the mcacn was an inception turning into a show. He was telling me about it in a brief conversation. I ended up at his event & he remembered the car I brought & the conversation we had in Green bay. He is no doubt a 100% car guy & his passion is the foundation of why this show works so well.

He does prefer his Dodges over most others though....... ;)

I usually wear sweatpants and a car event Tshirt of some kind. Kinda look homeless but I'm comfy and ready for any large buffet I find. lol
Maybe I'll put a piece of tape on my shirt with TTOP350 on it.
Safe travels

Just got back home. What happened to the 3rd gen display?

There was supposed to be a display organized by I believe CPC Norwood this year, of about a half dozen or so low mile, original, 3rd gens.

You guys may think I'm insane, but I loved this '79 Century Turbo Coupe. The owner races it in Pure Stock Drags with a best of 15.9 seconds. I told him when he gets tired of it to give me a call.

The only two 3rd gens there. :(

Thats really cool. In recent years I find myself looking the obscure cars with far more fascination than the common ones in nicer condition.


That under hood looks untouched, was it all original? Never saw one like that.

54K miles. The owner found it on eBay a year ago and hated the original color and made a color change, both interior and exterior. He's disconnected the finicky spark control and runs it on 110 octane racing fuel.

After MCACN, we were fortunate enough to be invited to my friend's warehouse, where they unveiled the newly rebuilt Hemi Under Glass, which he just purchased. He fired it up. LOUD does not even come close to the sound of that Hemi!!!

Thanks Joe and Dan!

Apparently the 3rd gen display has been postponed until next year. Only three cars were confirmed this year and they'd like to have more like 8 or 9.

Re: Anyone taking their original 3rd gen to MCACN this year, this weekend?
 

Here is the thread I started asking about the possibility of putting together a showcase. The Idea died this year from a lack of interest on the part of people wanting to display.

In short nobody wanted to go.

If there is enough interest, maybe we'll see your new IROC there next year, Phil.

Great show, just got home. I left the nametag tape and marker in the car sooooo … Next yr

Re: Anyone taking their original 3rd gen to MCACN this year, this weekend?
 

I did look for name tags today. Just got home about 2 hours ago from my flight. Was at the show until a little after 3, and it was a nice event.

It's funny. You go to MCACN and spend 8 or 10 hours there. You can only really check out so many cars and chat with only so many people. Then you see the FB pics of the show and think, darn, I should have looked at that car closer or tried to talk to it's owner a bit. The show is so good and so large, you can only take in so much.
