my offer still stands that you buy a bunch of parts and I'll camp out for a weekend and help get it running...

[69_500]

I will swing up to new castle to help get it running as well

[held1823]

i've definitely not forgotten the offers, and hope to some day take you both up on it.

on a side note, congrats to danny and his family on their newest "acquisition". she is beyond precious.

I just wanted wanted to let everyone know I'm a bit down right now.
It's not as bad as when we found out the meet was cancelled.
We should be down there enjoying the AERO cars and each others company.
Seeing old friends and making new ones!
 It's not all bad though as it's given us more time to finish our Superbird!
We will be going down to Troy Angelly's shop in early November to get it.
Then we have it entered in the Muscle Car And Corvette Nationals on
November 22nd and 23rd. We hope to meet up with Tim Welborn there and
see how he's doing.

Sounds good John. I will be there too. I was asked to help judge the Vintage Certification class for Mopars. Looking forward to meeting you and all from this site.

I thought the same thing when I slowed down and went to sleep last night.       It felt weird not to be there. 

[Dave Kanofsky]

I thought that the same as all of you.
I even tortured myself by looking up the forecast for the weekend down there...it's gorgeous.

I sent Tim a Get Well card, because that is still more important. 

Hoping it is rescheduled for some time other than the spring race - I can't make it then due to wife and son graduations...

[pettybird]

<-- also upset about the meet...5 years of buildup...

I told my boss today I'm taking a couple days off to go to MCACN.  We need to organize a club dinner or something.

[Mopurr]

Continued prayers for Tim... Hope he is doing better now
All day Wednesday thought about how we should have been on our drive down.
Miss seeing everyone.
Been on vacation all week has been so strange to have one without involving a car event

Cool, let's do it!

I hope Tim is better!

Was flying over and driving from LA to Dega in a friends Bird.
Still can't believe it got cancelled, a real shame indeed.
Would have been the road-trip of my lifetime!

Maybe just maybe I will bring my 500 in 2019???

Get well Tim!!!

since this is still pinned, i thought i'd mention that another hemi '71 is headed to the museum. one owner car, looked beyond awesome

damned if i remember where i saved the photo to...

[Aero426]

It was the late Jerry Narramore's car.  As far as I know, Ann is keeping the 500.  Both are great cars.

[Aero426]

Latest word on Talladega is it will be on the October race weekend.  It will not be in May. We should un pin this and start a new thread.

[69_500]

Ann says she will never sell the 500.

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

You mean this 9,000 mile 71 Hemi Charger 4-speed car?

[Montreal Wing Car]

... So.... Anybody has something new to add to this thread?

Troy,
Baymont Inn seems to be one of the most popular there.
