There were some NICE ones in the dogleg near turn 1. The nicest I seen was up at the very top of turn 3 against the wall, It was orange. Wish I had a camera

This one was quite nice. Ls1/T56 transplant. Sort of reminded me of Copperhead when I first saw it at a distance.

That may have been the same truck that was 70K at the Myrtle Beach show. I think that there was a pic posted under that thread.

I like those mirrors. They are elegant looking. A little undestated, the way a side view mirror should be. They don't rob from the flow of the body lines like bigger ones do.

Nice truck, but $70 grand???? What exactly makes it that special (seriously, i'm curious). I would expect it to go for maybe $30k.....

Huck · 04-06-2004, 07:51 PM

Saw that truck--seems like a lot of $$$ for my wife to put mulch into it!!!
Was more interested in the SWB fleet trucks over in the green field ----west side of the lot for $2500. and $3000. Nice original trucks needing very little---. They were both good buys!!!
The 63 split window corvette that sold for $65,000. was also nice but wouldn't hold enough stuff for her shopping at Walmart!

I dont think the one I posted is the one he was saying is 70 grand. I dont recall even seeing a price on that copper one.

trucks72 · 04-07-2004, 09:29 AM

The truck I was talking about was on the track around turn one. It was solid red with a ram jet 502 in it. Does anybody have pictures of it.

**nightmare** · 04-07-2004, 02:01 PM

got any more pics of the 69 charger daytona/70 plymouth superbird next to it?

1972ChevyGuy · 04-07-2004, 04:06 PM

I dont have a pic but I know which one your talking about.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-07-2004, 09:06 PM
