(LI) NY (and surrounding area) Corvette Owners&Enthusiasts - anyone heading to this?

[*89x2*]

I saw this and talked my wife into driving up for this - Looks like some world class Vettes will be there :cool


Knowing there are a lot of Callaways on L.I. NY, and the surrounding area, I thought it was worth mentioning here :cool

Anyone interested??? Looks like it may be an NCRS only thing??? Is anyone familiar w/ the protocol here??

Pete, it was great that you were able to drop by the show - There were some amazing Corvettes there - Aside from a Callaway Corvette :cool
there were three 67 L88's, a handful of 68 L88's, a couple 69 L88's and a 6,000 mi L89 :eek

There was also a 1 of 1, 1966 L88 - and some of the New York areas coolest "retro racers" like the Motion cars and one of the two ZL1 Corvettes EVER made :cool

Mark and Chris were there along w/ Pete to represent the Callaway owners, along w/ yours truly

That AeroCallaway that showed up looked NICE

100 + Horsepower IS the way to go

I think either way, you will be fine - if the guy doesn't buy the car, you have a NICE Callaway Aero car :cool

It was a good runner and we made "boost" in 3 gears - I talked about all the cars virtues w/ your brother - in - law and he seemed very pleased w/ the car as well - ENjoy!

p.s. That BBQ was DARN GOOD!

 

[*89x2*]

Ike, with enough L88's to cause an earthquake, it sure was a once-in-a-lifetime event! :cool

1 (of 1) 1966 L88 :eek
3 1967 L88's - one was a "tanker"
3 1968 L88's - the Yenko prepped racers :cool
2 1969 L88's - including the "Bodyless L88" :eek
1 L88 "chassis" car - under resto

Also, 1 of the two ZL1's
and one of the alumn. head L89's

There were other cars there too of significance - but those were simply breath stealers! ...they certainly took mine away!

 

[callaway4fun]

Was it the cars or was it the BBQ Chicken... LOL

 

[67HEAVEN]

I will always have a place in my heart for the L-88 cars. In the day they were Awesome!

They still are AWESOME.

 

[C-4 Now]

67 Heaven: I agree that they are still awesome! I was just indicating that time marches on to newer cars like the now awesome C-6 Z-06. I was at Bloomington in 88 when they had the L-88 Earthquake event to see how many they could have on the show field and start at one time. It was a sound to remember, especially with the header side pipes on some of the cars. I received an invite but had already sold my L-88 by that time. The Special Collection of L-88's that year was definately AWESOME!!

I should find my Special Collection book from that year. I think afew of the LI show cars were there.
