OK, well I have had a request PMed to me to post a couple more shots from the car show-so here are a few more.

This first shot is a pic of a true American Classic.  This is a 1967 Shelby GT500 equiped with a 428ci big block V8 motor.  I was very impressed with this car, it was completely original and restored very nicely.  Unfortunately, the car was located near the wall of the building the show was in so I couldn't get quite far enough from the it to take a great picture.  I think the photo turned out OK, but I was hopeing it would look better.
...

This is a beautiful black 1965 Chevrolet Corvette roadster.  I want to say that it had a 327ci V8 under the hood but I can't remember-I'm almost certain that it was a 327 though.
...

This is was a really nice 1931 Chevrolet Hot Rod.  Although not my favorite one at the show, it was probably the nicest done overall.  The interior was done custom and the car was just beautiful.  This car had won Best of Show at the 2003 & 2004 Eugene Autorama's-it may very well have won again this year.
...

I thought I should include a nice engine photo with this post as well-so here it is.  This is a big block 440ci motor equiped with a "6-Pack."  For those of you who don't know, a "6-Pack" is what it is called when the motor has 3 2-barrel carborators on it in the Mopar cars (Dodge & Plymouth cars).  This motor was in a 1970 Plymouth GTX-it was a beautiful car but the photos I took if it didn't come out right.  You may notice that this photo is smaller than the others, I had to make it smaller to get it under 100KBs.
...

Finally, here is a unique one.  This is a very custom 1962 Buick Special.  Not only did it have a very nice color matching color interior but it had a modern built turbocharged motor that put out ober 700hp!  I don't think I would put that kind of money into a Buick Special-but someone did and it looked very cool.
...

So, there are some more pics from the car show.  If anyone wants me to post a couple more let me know.  Also, I am going to put these pics and a few others in an online photo album (the link is in my sig) so if your interested, check those out.  I should have the photos from this show in there sometime today.   Wink
