2013 Muscle Car Nationals

The 2013 edition of The Muscle Car Nationals was held last weekend at the Rosemont Convention Center. This years show was one of the best they have had in my opinion. Some of the rarest of the rare show up here. Most impressive to me was The Class of 63 Reunion of the original 421 Super Duty Pontiacs. I believe 9 of 14 where at the show most restored back to 1963 race condition. One car that caught my eye was a 62 Pontiac Catalina which featured a one off set of aluminum heads and a cross ram manifold that was produced by Pontiac Engineering. This is the only one known to exist.There was lots more to see. Over in the barn find section, someone unearthed the Mister X Barracuda which was sponsored by R&R Engineering and VFN Fiberglass. The car was driven by Ted May. This is a somewhat famous midwest car that ran in a variety of classes in the late 70's early 80's. I hope it gets restored back to racing condition and maybe run again at some of the nostalgia events.  My pal Roger had his just finished 1970 Olds Indy 500 Pace Car there. Also a Nickey Chevrolet Altered wheel base "funny car" clone just finished by the gang at D&M Corvette made it's debut.This show is almost becoming like a concour event and the bar has to raised each year to make it a great show. Based on this year, Next year will really be something to see.
