Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

On the off chance that new people have not seen the MCACN section, I'm posting here.
If you are into Musclecars you would love this show. You just need to get to Chicago the weekend before Thanksgiving. If you are far away but in a large city you should be able to get a non stop flight into O'Hare. From there it is a 5 minute cab ride to the show and host hotels. I think we now have 14 or 15 confirmed ZL1's attending including one of every color made. There has never been that many ZL1's together since they were built.Helen Gibb and her daughter Nancy will be there with the ZL1's that Helen's husband Fred convinced Chevrolet to build. Chevrolet will also have a 2012 ZL1 there.
If you are a collector or know of someone wanting to acquire a rare musclecar, what better place to come to see a selection of the worlds best muscle all in one place. Maybe talk someone into selling their car or maybe they can tell you where to find a good one. Maybe they can tell you what not to buy. This show really will be a treat...Hope to see you there.

I hope to meet a ton of you all there!!

I hate peer pressure. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I've been spending the weekend upgrading the entire brake system on my 22 year old, Pace trailer, A.K.A. The Rat-Trailer.

Just wait til you see it.

Over the years I've been pulled over several times by the police after they thought I was using it to smuggle illegal aliens across state lines.

It's THAT ugly. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

Just to echo Charley's thoughts above, the number and quality of cars at this event is truly remarkable. Anyone with a hint of fossil fuel in their blood will be in overload the first time they attend.
But maybe the best part for many of us is the fact that THIS event has become another Reunion of sorts. One of the very few times each year we get to see the friends we've made through our association with this site. Great People; Great Times, ............ and a TON of Fantastic Cars!

Don't miss this show! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

I know many of us are working our behinds off getting cars ready for this yearly show that just as Dennis says has become a yearly reunion for all of us that are so passionate about this Muscle Car Hobby. I look forward to seeing you all there once again. It just keeps getting better and better!

[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]This show is definetly worth the trip from everywhere. Having a round trip flight from New York and fours in the car to and from airport to attend was time well spent to see the absolute best collection of muscle cars anywhere. I would suggest that you make plans to stay for both days, you can't see all the cars and everyone in six hours.

[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]And Darren bought me and Mike some great hot dogs for lunch. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

Not only will there be the largest collection of Musclecars ever assembled.......But.....It is also the &quot;Largest&quot; collection of &quot;True&quot; Car Guy's you will ever find in one place [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

IMO, this has become the finest show of muscle cars. Excellent job Bob! This needs to be on peoples calendar.

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

I'll be there - can't wait!!!

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

Last year was the best car show I've ever been to. If you like all types of cars, this is the place to be.

The Hurst Olds display was amazing last year, there's always the Snake Pit for Shelbys, too.

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

Yes it is going to be another one for the books. My current count shows that the 70 L78 Camaro display is fully booked with 10 cars, maybe more???

As with the ZL1 display this will likely be the largest gathering ever of these rare 1 of 600 built cars where only a fraction of them are known to still exist today.

Looking forward to a great weekend.

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

I really would like to attend, but I don't have a way to get my car there. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]
Is anybody coming through Columbus with an extra spot on their trailer? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]
Does anybody with a trailer want to haul my car? <span style="font-weight: bold"> Please?

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

You will have a blast Paul...though not too many golf courses open in November...I would think? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

No golf...none expected,just the cars,Chicago Xmas shopping (for the missus) and enjoy the Magnificent Mile.

Will you be there?

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

Paul...I don't think I will be able to make it this year...I just started a new job [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

Fantastic!!!! Lee's is on many guys punch list and is fresh off of resto and being a best in class winner at the Olds Nationals!!!!

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

Thanks for the nice comment. After 30+ years of ownership it will be nice to take my car to the premier muscle car event in the country.

It will first be at the November SEMA Las Vegas show. I was invited to be a part of the Legendary Interior Booth. The car will next go to Colorado Level One Restoration for some final spit shine and tweeks for the MCACN show. I am pretty excited because it is so different than the Olds Nationals. I expect to have the judges look at many of the fine details of the restoration. I hope the car makes the grade. If not it will still be fun to make some new friends and see some old ones too.

Lee

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

That's awesome Lee. Can't wait to see it.

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

Sounds like an awesome car! Someone better take pics! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

Just a quick update, I am now registered for the show. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Bob, I put myself in the sYc display. Feel free to move it to wherever you think most appropriate.

You should be in the COPO display... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

I had given up all hope of coming to this show in August when the cheapest airfare I found out of Charlotte was $370!!!!! I had set up a deal alert on a travel site and it has come down to under $300 so I booked a flight!!!!!

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

I'm in. Just spoke to the double tree reservation lady somehwere in India and they still had rooms blocked for this.

Not funny really, but then again .............

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

There is a direct line to the Rosemont hotel listed on the MCACN website.

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

Hey Fellas,
I've booked my room but can not seem to find immediate contact for the pre-sale tickets. I enter the info on the MCACN site but no response. Maybe some phone numbers to the advance sales vendors would help.

Thanks Dicky [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]

Re: Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN
 

I noticed the same thing. When you go to the website and click the link to Buy tickets online, I fill out the form but there's no way to submit the info or pay for them online? I'd like to save a few bucks if I can and buy discounted tickets online.
