Don Garlits 2012 Shots

Too much to get everything that caught my eye.
Have enough to post A body stuff on A body site.

This year I submit for my pick of thr show, this tripple black SSP 400 4 speed SG car.
Ultra clean and stealthy. Very "Darth Vader-y" 15 years before the GN.

Ok, i know what ssp is and what a gn is. Whats is a sg car?

I was surprised to find only 1 1970 Bee in the show, though 2 were in the parking lot....

Made it yesterday , won't get back today. Great turnout , alot of cars I haven't seen before (meaning more restorations going on !) - fantastic Florida weather (once the fog burned off). Lotta B B-bodies this year , especially Chargers (and that unreal black 73 Satty). Anyone see the 61 Imperial ? Unbelievable . Anyway , my 5th year in a row and definitely will be going for years to come (this was the 25th anniversary show , BTW) Anyone within a couple days drive needs to come down if they can .......

By the way - saw those 70 Super Bees in the parking lot - my buddy in the pic with his son above, was hating it as he owns an original 70 FM3 pink car (383, 4 spd, A/C), one of two optioned this way - we have it on the rotisserie now .......... maybe in a couple years !

This Imperial??



I don't have them uploaded anywhere yet... I'm working on it!!

 

[Sputnik]

That's the one - that was an amazing car , never seen one in person (a buddy has a 66, also has the full wraparound fenders/nose) if I were a wealthy man .................... Chrysler had a plant for building the Imperial only, up to 66 , I believe - this was a prime example of American quality and pride.

I was thinking I would make it this year but fell through the last minute. Love the SS cars and that green 60 Dodge panel! Ahhhh, one of these days when my empire is running on auto pilot....

 

[Polara Pat]

Thanks for sharing all the pics. One of these years I really need to make this show. Tons of amazing cars but I my favorite from the images posted so far is hands down the "Paper Tiger" AWB. Pretty sure I would have spent half my day talking to that guy.

Another candidate for my pick of the show, and also in the car corral, was this 70 burnt orange 4 speed a/c GTX.

At $29K, it might have been a good deal.

A few more, enjoyed the show, scored a few parts.

Here are a couple, I took more pictures of 'how to' instead of the whole car.

 

[Budnicks]

Great show, thanks for posting up the photos

We went on saturday it seemed to us that the 71-74 b bodys were a little slim this year but in contrast the early b bodys were well represented as were the late model mopars/rams. I suppose the economy has a lot to do with it. I was suprised at the amount of 71-74 charger stuff we saw. However we did not find the 971 stamping oil pan we need to do our conversion.

I thought it was a pretty good turnout considering the past couple years.

I just noticed that the quad headlight A van I posted is an "all door" model.
It was LA powered but no interior (including driver's seat).
I might have been interested in finding out the asking price, had I noticed that.
I guess I just assumed since I could see all the way through it, that it was a window van.

Anyone go the the garage sale?
Not the car prts one, the home one?

There were bed frames. dressers, plactic display friut, oh, and you could have been the lucky new ownner of a formerly owned by Big Daddy....wait for it...disposeable douche....seriously...would you sell those at a yard sale?....would you buy one of those at a yard sale?
