Mooneyes Open House - 7/11/15
I've lived almost my entire life in So Cal(except for 2 years after I was born in Syracuse,New York) and had never been to the Mooneyes Shop in Santa Fe Springs, CA. I heard about the open house through a friend and thought it might be fun to cruise on up, just to get some good BTWT (Behind The Wheel Therapy). I asked about parking and was told to get there early, very early!! I had no idea that parking in the Mooneyes lot was limited to invited/special cars and when I got there I found a spot at a corner burger joint next door and walked over to check things out. The friend that told me about it had his altered-wheelbase Falcon there (which I can't get enough of) and there were a few other really cool cars too. Dale Snoke (the guy who actually built the Falcon) and fellow Nova guy that I met quite a few years ago was actually in charge of who got to park in the limited spots available and asked me if I would like to park there!! I didn't think he was serious and he said that my car deserved to be there due to it's "history." Well, it didn't take long to move it and I felt honored and a little embarrassed at the same time. Speaking of "history", this place had it in spades!! Here are a couple pics from the day............I've got more, including shots from inside the machine shop if anyone's interested.

Way cool Joe. I am not seeing your photos, however. Can't wait to see them and <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="text-decoration: underline">YES</span></span></span>, you and your car are very deserving of the choice parking spot!

Hey, thanks Bart!! Here are a couple more pics. What a "throw-back" to the '50's!! Dale told me that the very first Cobra was built in the back garage area before they moved their operation over near LAX!!

And it might be getting a little awesome'er very soon!! He might be going with injection stacks through the hood!! Right now it's just a single 4-barrel. And the weird part (for me anyway!) is, he drives this on the street everywhere!! I remember the Phil Bonner and Hubert Platt cars from back in the day, so I really like this car. Very cool stuff!! |
