I've never entered my car in anything, but this year I think I might have a good chance. I tried looking at how they judgd but couldn't find anything on original looking cars. Beside a new correct color paint job my car only has 21000 miles on it. Ive done some research on how to tell and alot of the signs are there. Plus who I bought it from is a highly respectable guy in the t/a world. Looking for some pointers on this if anybody knows.
-
they don't have an original class and some with original non restored cars complain about being in a class with fully restored cars and competing against them. tough to win against them when everything is perfect or near perfect. i don't think they factor in originality and patina will cost you points i believe. at least it has in the past to people i know with low mile original un restored cars.
-
Thats what I kinda read. I was telling that to bobby, that if your dash is faded but not cracked do I dye it and ruin the barn fresh look or do I leave it and get points taken off. That isn't fair, let's face it you can pretty much build these cars out of a catalog, and we all know some re pops aren't the same quality look or fit right. I'm surprised they dont have a unmolested category besides new paint , tires, exhaust and shocks. Maybe I will just drive it and not enter it
-
Keep it original TATA. No point in ruining the originality for a chance to win a trophy.
-
enter it and put it in the field, clean the crap out of it and have fun, if you get something good if not who cares. what others say about your car when mean more than any hardware.
everyone appreciates a clean survivor.
-
I agree, I didnt want to rye dye the dash to match the ashtray and glove box. To differant materials that age differant. Other then that super nice car, u could lick the underneath of this thing.lol
-
Go for the trophy, I heard the "Hotel" show Trophys are the best. That show is the Pebble Beach of the F body world. ::)
-
Thanks burd, its fun seeing you on here, can't wait till reaper signs up when he gets time. Let the good old times roll
-
They should have a survivor class at the natz. The first thing you need to do is join Ohio Firebirds. They usually win all the iron....lol
-
Ya right, but they should have that class. It nice to see original cars, even if they are falling apart.
-
Its been discussed for years and that regional show will never live up to its name (Period). Terry, leave the car ALONE less the headliner and muffler. Its only original once and its bad enough its been painted.
Enjoy it for what it is girl!
Cheers, Brew
-
You got it brew, glad to see you stopped on by here. Got the correct headliner with little glitter twinkles , that evans showed me on his super duty. And keeping an eye out for muffler and nos shocks. Get your car done so we can rip it up on our way to the nats. Post some pics too. You still have one of the nices cars I've seen

I was talking about banning each other Norwood, and it was somewhat tongue in cheek. ;D Oh and I have one too!
-
I did see you avatar steve, I can't keep up with all your cars.lol ok well a formy club has 7 members. Were on a roll. It's funny how many people are starting to want these. For me, I wanted less bling bling. Meaning no decals, plain jane car. Although people still call my formy a trans am. Just like my dart sport, everybody thinks its a demon or duster.
-
Mike Sparks, Jim Brown, Dennis Jensen, Sean Bransky, and thats only the start silly girl.
-
Be our leader brew

Sounds like a "formula" for disaster is brewing. Lol
-
LMAO....this thread is funny. Formulas are cool cars. I just got new seats, new carpet and new headliner for mine!
-
Can I get in on the Formula action with my 78?
-
Sure, dive on in
-

I heard the holiday inn is taking reservation for next year. Anybody else hear this? And I hope the vendors spots are better placed this year, cause that was horrible last year. We were like red headed step children. Lol
-
say that again about the vendor area. i pulled the el camino up sunday afternoon with my parts in the bed and parked right by the steps that went down to winners circle. even though most people were gone i got a lot of looks being there and sold a few more things.
we should all get spots there, that space was not even used and it sits up high and looks over the show field. restore a muscle car was there but much further back.
-
That sounds good, I know reaper and I had 2 spaces and there would be some room for u too. Anybody else(fredan) want to join, then we could get 3

Holiday Inn is taking reservations. Just made mine on Friday. If I remember last years rates right, this years show rate has dropped.
