First Future urban legend: " The guy who bought a '67 and turned out to be a '72"
Mike Winer bought a '72 Yellow convertible to match his '67 Yellow 'vert which needed a hood release cable, so he is driving the 72 through the vendors looking for one, he stops at one vendor and asks " Got a hood cable for a '67" the vendor replys no, not seeing me I say " Hey buddy thats not a '67 thats a '72" Mike says in true Deadpan " The guy I just bought this from told me it was a '67" and pulled away with alot of people talking about it. Some even came up to him later and asked if he needed help looking for '67's.

Mike Kirshner and I are in the Celebrity pick parade coming down the hill by the '63 to '67 Registry tent, and we are coasting down the hill, a couple of guys who look like they came from the Import/Tuner show walk by and mention how quite my car is, I told them it was a Electric hybrid motor, we can hear them discussing it as they walk away, why all the people in our tent were laughing away.
A not so funny thing that happen or maybee it is, I was looking the whole show for an NOS pair of sidepipes, found a pair at Proteam for a grand, but didn't buy them right then because I had no way to get them home (drove the car) Midyear says have them ship them and I said why not, go back the price is now $2500, I said they were only $1K earlier and the guy replys "no for the pair" and I said they were for the pair earlier too" and walked away.
Had a great time weather notwithstanding, it was great meeting you all, and seeing everyone again.
