MCACN High School Reunion 2024

It is often said that the best part of a car is its story. This awesome display was a full room of stories.

One that comes to mind was a very nice silver '69 Z28, the owner bought it at age 16 with a loan from his parents. He made payments with a $3.75 and hour job at KFC after school. Purchase price, $1,000.

Also a '66 Shelby GT350 Mustang with original paint, 440 6 Pack Cuda, an L78 396 '65 Corvette, and many other really cool hot cars of the day.

There were a few ladies in the group also :biggthumpup:

Late on Sunday I had conversation with Vicky Ashton about the success of the display, she said the turnout far exceeded their expectations with about 50 cars.

I wish I'd taken more pix, this one has Jeff Helms HS car right up front.

That whole area had a nice vibe-all those longtime owners and the different ways their ownership journeys went was cool.

Sorry I missed you at the show. First time since 2008 I was able to walk the show but somehow missed you.

I was particularly fond of the black '55 Delray with the ZL-1 427

I didn't realize that was Jeff's car... as I was approaching it from the side, I thought "he should back it up a foot or so, onto the incline, and level it from the, normal, sagging springs". Never read the owner board...:rolleyes2:

Sorry Jeff

That stance is on purpose, I believe it's a Carolina thing.

If you would ever ride with Jeff you would understand that this '67 is lucky to be alive.

Here is the story from Jeff's windshield sign.

Cool story..
Those sagging springs isn't a Carolina only feature. '66-67 A bodies were famous up here for sagging after 5-6 years. I was putting spring spreaders in them in the mid seventies because the owners couldn't get the headlights low enough to see the road. The cars were already so rusty, the owners weren't willing to spend the $75 I charged for new springs from the dealer and install time.
