Car show first place

#1 Post by barad_dur »

My 1986 Monte Carlo won first place in retro/classic division at Fredericksburg VA car show this weekend.

This car show is known for one-of-a-kind gnarly trophies which are hand-made (basically trophy-bashes!)
See trophy in bottom of first pic.

There were over 700 Cars in the show and probably around 100 in my division.

My Monte has a 480HP 383 engine with Holley sniper EFI, Auto trans, 4.30 moser rear end.
Color is House of Kolor organic candy green.

Thanks for looking !

Sweet looking ride! Congrats - that's quite an accomplishment, and somehow that trophy fits right in here at the Clubhouse.

Holy mackerel Joe Heil! First off congratulations! With you moving beyond the model bashing contests, none of us are safe anymore! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

There is no doubt that your attention to detail and excellence in model bashing is also responsible for this first place finish for your beautiful Monte Carlo!

Thanks guys!

Hey Overspray, exactly right, that bashed trophy is the only reason that I posted the win in the clubhouse

Vlad, thanks, but I really can’t take credit for the car as I just paid for the modifications and paint, but I did not do any of it myself.

You "gamed it out" though, didn't you? PLANNING counts as part of the 'bash! :wink:
