I tried getting you pulling the wheels, Dave, but my shutter speed is too slow. Good to see the Maverick running so nice!

i saw this link on a jr forum.
this is amazing what a pontiac will go for with no motor or trans
63 pontiac ebay

Ok, Bob, Mr. Literal.

I saw the Pontiac auction on ROP. Uneal. The guy almost threw away his lottery ticket... he would have crushed it had scrap been higher. I think the car is cool whether it's 1 of 6 or 1 of 600,000. Odds are it will end up on Barret Jackson after it's restored.

i think it will be there too.
its over 85,000 now and looks like a POS
still like 5 hours to go in the auction.

Jeff,
Don Snyder, out near North Lima, Ohio, found and restored the original Yankee Peddler Dodge that Bill Flynn raced back in the 60's. Don had Bob George re-do the original Hemi for it. Don sold it ( along with one of the original Ford Thunderbolts ) to a fellow near Sewickley, PA. That fellow in turn took it to the Mecum Auction 2 years ago, and it went for $775,000 ! As it sits right now, it's worth over 1 million. It's all about the provenance with old drag cars. Last year we went up to Dubois and toured Don Fezells collection of old drag cars and muscle cars. He has 4 1963 Z-11 Chevys and one is the Grumpy Jenkins/Dave Strickler car that also is worth over 1 million dollars.

wow,
i would have never guessed that it would be worth that much, and honestly , i think the owner is overwhelmed by it too. im curious to see if it goes for over 100k with no motor or trans.

HAHAHA.

Blackdog, we were out at Bruce Larsons 3 years ago and it's well worth the drive to see his collection. Bruce is such a nice down-to-earth guy also. I thought I'd wait a few years before going back out. Tom Barhill is planning on taking out his re-creation of a Pittsburgh car, the Brougher and Reese T/F car next year.
The Don Snyder collection in New Springfield, OH is a good collection of old drag cars also. He has the first and last Ford Thunderbolts plus 5-6 other real Thunderbolts. Beswicks Tempest, a real swiss cheese '63 Pontiac, Bill Stiles '66 Plymouth, Ned Jarretts '64 NASCAR Ford, Al Jonicks Batcar, plus many more. The cars are in a huge building heated and air conditioned.

It looks like the Tempest on E-Bay went for over $226,000. Not surprising really. It'll be a million dollar car when it's all over with.

i wonder just how many will be starting to search the old barns for cars now.
i about fell over when i saw it go for $226,521.63

Well if anyone is looking to spend a little less money, I have a BBC 648 for sale. Probally never be a collectors item but it sounds pretty cool.

We have a new black racing seat Sum-G1100, 31.95 and new black seat cover Sum-G1110 29.95 still in the bag for sale. If you buy it from Summit the shipping on the seat alone is $18.00. If anyone needs it, come to the shop, sell both for $50.00.

Christine, I'll take the seat and cover. I don't know when I will be in town again, but I will definately get them.

Mark, Check your PM please.

Seat and seat cover are SOLD! Thanks Mark! I'll keep them here for you!

A big salute to all of our veteran's, especially those in the PRP family. Remembering the Vasbinder's nephew, SFC Scott Smith.

I think of the Army members who took their oath on our stating line evey time I stage.

well said Chuck

thanks, to all the veterans out there.


......many fine folks have "given all" for us.

I got to see Thunder TV over the weekend finally. Night of Fire is now on there as episode 3. Is there an episode 2? We didn't see it listed on the Comcast menu.
