Big Red Has a New Home

Big Red has left the building. It is now enjoying the warmth of it's home state of California. Being a Cali car it is only fitting that it return home to it's new owner. He called to tell me how thrilled he is with the Galaxie. It exceeded his expectatins. That is a good feeling to know that it is being appreciated.

The Michigan Terror is put away for the season. There have been plenty of good driving days but with Michigan weather you never know. The next outing is the Shelby Fest in Herman MO. It is held in April. Will get some good seat time in the Shelby for sure. The Fest is all things Shelby with the focus on the later models. Not to say the originals aren't there. Laid back with good cars, people and stories to beat the band.

Attended the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Rosemont Illinois in November. Plenty of eye candy for the car nut. Every current late model hop up shop was there. Nickey, Berger, Mr. Norm's Garage and on and on. They are doing some very wild things with the current offerings for the big three. Supercharges and bigger supercharges seems to be the order of the day. Fantastic paint and graphics is also the order of the day for these shops. Some were more suttle then others. They are doing a great job of capturing the spirit and mood of the 60's and early 70's when these beasts were unleashed on the streets.
