Maybe I should sell my "other non running project" and purchase a running '99, the last of the last. A Silver Arrow? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC1968Riviera Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) The Aqua Zephyr took home a "Other GM" "Class Winner" and the "Other GM Best in Class" award plaques at the Super Chevy Show at the Rockingham Dragway, Rockingham, NC. September 16, 2023 This is the only Super Chevy Show now being held in the US. In the show's heyday, there were upwards of 10 shows across the country every year, (much like the Goodguys shows).

RivNut Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) Here's a picture of my long gone 1985 coupe that I put together back in 2007. I probably would have kept it if it weren't for the underpowered 5.0 Liter Oldsmobile engine. The first picture was taken before I installed the sport mirrors, emblems, and steering wheel and new 140 mph speedometer. TypeR for Raner. 😉 Edited November 4, 2023 by RivNut (see edit history) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71GS Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Went to the MCACN (muscle car and corvette nationals) in Chicago over the weekend. This show is always incredible but they had a big body Buick invitational section this year that was just awesome. Always great to see Denny Manner and his experimental engine parts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s my standard response to all the posts and photos that I like. Doesn’t it just send a smiley face or does it say something I was not aware of? It was sent as a compliment.

RivNut Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 It'd not really a smiley face, it's more of a laughing at you face. Or so I've been led to believe. I use use a 👍. Let me know if I've been told wrong. Ed 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
