    Heard about this but wasn't sure the date. I have too much going on to make it.

    Well, cold and very windy, but got to see Ken, Rich, Tim and 2 owners I just met, one with the matching boat (dont see that every day) IMG_2813[1].JPG IMG_2794[2].JPG IMG_2787[1].JPG IMG_2793[1].JPG IMG_2807[1].JPG and the Seafoam GS. Good times!

    I tagged along with the mid-Atlantic GN guys. First time I had my GN out in 2 years. I did a bunch of work to it over the last 2 weeks. Great 260 mile day. The show was tough to sit through with the wind.

    Our personal favorite was this 69 RAIV GTO with 13,000 original miles. The owners father ordered it new from S&H Pontiac in Harrisburg PA. (There was a 69 judge there also ordered from S&H). The car is as close to original as possible including paint and drivetrain. The father dragged raced it all over central PA, typically loading the kids up for the day to take with him. Later on he bought a 69 GTO with 4.56 gears to flat tow it to and from races! I forgot to take pics, my dad snapped these. For the Endura, the Baltimore plant could not get the special order blue paint to stick. S&H offered to have the factory install a chrome bumper instead. He finally decided to ask them to paint it white to match the parchment interior. That was done at the factory, not at the dealer. Incredibly preserved car, especially considering it was ordered to race.

    Same here Mike, I didn’t see this thread until just now unfortunately. Pretty unique car turn out, albeit smaller. The convert GS was a stick too!
