Scamo-2.8

What the heck? I paid 18 bucks to get into that stupid show only to find out thats there's only ONE third gen f-body in the whole show! And it wasn't anything special either! Just a plain green vert camaro! I saw about ten mustangs from our years, what happened??? I went two years ago and there was two I think, (one was a really nice blue camaro) so I thought well theres going to be more this year for sure. I mean supposedly the "third gen camaro and bird are the most popular cars to restore right now" what a bunch of crap. I thought geez good thing I don't own a bird or I'd be really mad! Sorry just had to rant.

I was there. Ya, 1 thirdgen. But that's okay, not a biggy for me to not see many.


Loved the Cuda's. Just awesome cars!

the show wasnt that good.

Specially the old cars....1920ish...boy they sucked.

And with me being in the import scene, all i seen was the same boring cars that i see at every show.

There were 4 large main sections (buildings). Three of the buildings were dedicated to the domestics, the 4rth building imports.

Here's some things I remember from the show.....

We got discount flyers off the website. $3 off till Sat March 11th it said. Well actually the 11th was a Sunday. We presented the coupons at the gate but they still charged us full pop stating it was an error on their part (but they still didn't honour $3 off those tightwads).

So we get in. Lots of vendors selling trinkets and a nice selection of domestics generally from the mid 60's to late '60's.

I believe it was Toronto and or Ontario F-Body's representing the 3rd gens with a small display (of 3 F-Body's).

There was an exact replica of a "Mad Max" Holden which just kicked a*s.

Speaking of a*s, there was plenty of it at the "import" section. In fact, there was a booth selling "Got A*s?" t-shirts. 3 girls (must of been strippers) shaking their booties for all the guys to see. Awesome a*s show. A crowd of guys taking movies and still pics.

Then I got hungry and paid $12 for 2 small pieces of pepparoni pizza and a coke from the Pizza Pizza stand.

Judging the $ value of the showcars, I would guess the domestics average was @ 80,000 a piece (average). The domestics, @ $20,000 (average).

All in all not a bad show, but typical.

The Hemi Cuda's stole the show (imo).

George

While their owners do the rug act..lol

Yeah I went with my one son and hung out at the OCC display for a while to help them out, I am a member. It has been at leat 5 or 6 years since I have been and it will probably be another 5 or 6 before I go again. Not that exciting. The only good thing was they stuck the ricers way in the back so I didn't have to listen to their Kia and look at their pos cars. girls were nice and skanky though....

What is the world coming to when I am glad I did NOT go to a show.

Sound like its becoming what Speedorama used to be like.
