This set has a few pictures from my 2003 Carlisle trip. Unfortunately, since that was 3 years ago, I don’t remember a heck of a lot about the trip, and I don’t seem to have all of my pics uploaded. Here is a description of what I’ve got uploaded currently. If I get to it, I’ll upload the rest and provide more description.
Black 67 LS1 Nova This Nova was featured in a few magazines in the 2002-2003 time frame. It had an LS1 under the hood, and the most perfect, straight, glass-like body.
Filthy 1991 Corvette Here’s my 91 Corvette, full of 500 miles of road grime (it rained the whole way down) and the box for the brand new alternator that I had to change in the parking lot!
Here are some of the fantastic first generation cars.
1969 Trans AM This fine car could be yours for $65,000.
There was a tent full of COPO camaros.
Dark Blue 69 Camaro
Another shot of the dark blue 69
Light Blue 69 RS COPO Camaro There can’t be many of these!
Blue 69 with white interior
Silver 69
Orange 70 or 71 Camaro Here is a remarkable 70 or 71 that was exceptionally well restored. Even the inside of the rear brake drum was visible for scrutiny.
Here is a sampling of the thirdgens attending the show
Red IROC with white flames I don’t remember what year this car is, but what difference does it make? The craftsmanship seemed to be very good, though the dual firebird spoilers certainly doesn’t add much.
Ghost paint Here’s a pic of the door of the same car. The ghosted musical theme was very well done.
9 second 87 Z28 Here’s a 9 second Z28 that’s been in a couple magazines. The car was very clean. The same guy also owned one of the very clean blue IROCs that I have pictured.
Clean 87 Convertible This is certainly a new way to show off your nice brake drums.
33k miles I believe this dash belongs to the 87 convertible.
87 IROC with no stripe This is a clean 87 IROC, which was all stock except for the lack of a body stripe. I believe this is the same car whose owner I argued with in 2005 about his missing stripe.
Red and black IROC This IROC had an interesting color combination, along with older Recaro seats, and one of the few Daytona hoods that can accept factory louvers.
Rainbow Roc This 87 was super clean, but you’ve got to wonder about those decals.
Tacky 86 IROC Here’s an 86 IROC that’s had a lot of work done. Unfortunately, some of it wasn’t well done, and the overall appearance just doesn’t work. Surprisingly, this car pulled off a 3rd place finish in it’s class this year.
Tacky 86 IROC Here’s a side view. Notice how the stock rocker badges have been painted right over instead of being properly shaved. I’m not a fan of the Z/28 badge either. The paint on this car, however ugly it might be, was well done.
Tacky 86 IROC engine bay Way too much crap going on here. A lot of the chrome you see is either chrome door edge molding that’s been trimmed, or chrome tape. TACKY.
Clean black 85
Clean white vert This was a clean 88 or 89 TBI convertible.
23k miles The white vert had low miles.
90 IROC convertible This beauty only had 59 miles on the odo!
59 miles Wow!
Nice blue IROC It’s an 88-90 with what looks like a factory louver.
Amazing 90 1LE This car was exceptional.
Amazing 90 1LE Spectacular engine bay.
Amazing 90 1LE Another pic of that engine bay.
Amazing 90 1LE Check out the original marking behind the license plate.
Amazing 90 1LE Look at the detail here. Look at the brakes, the emergency brake cable, the GM muffler, original Gatorback tires. Astonishing.
How about some 4th gens?
A couple of GM prototypes The Mark Donahue Camaro and the throwback Trans Am
Pewter Camaro A nice Camaro with Torque Thrust wheels.
Red Convertible One of the last Camaros. I think the very last Camaro available for purchase was a red Z28 coupe, but I think this was the very last car off the line, which stayed with GM.
Yellow Berger Camaro 427 cubes and a price tag to match.
Flamed Camaro Interesting flame job on a clean Camaro.
Well, that’s it for this batch. I think I have more 2003 pics tucked away somewhere, and if I do, I’ll add them.
