Topic: Mustang 50th Charlotte Rare Cars Display

[tomtri66]

Too bad you had bad info on that.  The Rare Cars tent was "open" and occupied all day on Saturday.  Heck, it was the only dry car viewing place around!

Aww man!  I asked 3 different event staff where I can find it.  Two had no clue, and one woman said oh they didn't open today...very disappointed.  I probably could have searched till I found it but the weather discouraged us from walking around the entire venue until we did.  Still had fun seeing what we saw.  Anyone have any pics to share?

................Anyone have any pics to share?

Sure others have more - plenty of cool cars

 Shot of the front of the tent. From left to right - 68 Shelby convertible prototype - special order paint 69 GT500 convertible - 70 CJ convertible - and a group of blue Corvettes someone left in front of the tent   




Forum being represented. We got there early so we got front billing     Thanks Marcus !!

Once the building filled up it was difficult finding your way around each car and the people inside. A shot earlier in the day as they filled in. Just the back row





Really nice original (unrestored) 69 CJ San Jose Mach. Terrible glare - inside to outside




And another 69 unrestored San Jose Mach I outside that belongs to Randy




One of the 67 Shelby's in the display. This one happens to be one that was just finished. Believe first time out in public




One of maybe five 65 Shelby's parked in the Rare Car Display. We caught Bill Collins (his was parked to the left behind this one) leaving his in the parking lot of the local Lowes as he ran into the store to purchase a couple for small screws.




A few more cars in the back row





Now here is a display you wouldn't see again - well not very likely    Three of the rarest
Hope I've got this right - if not someone will correct me


A cammer followed by a magnesium Boss 429 followed (believe only one built)  by an aluminum Boss 429 (one of 14??)

Thanks Marcus and Ed for a great display. And Thanks to Tony for getting my car there.... greatly appreciated. We had a great time!

J_Speegle, thanks for the pic. The 67 500 is mine. It's far from concours and far from finished, but yes it's the first time since I've owned it (15 years) that it was displayed in public and I think it sat in a NY garage for at least 10 years prior. It's been in hiding for quite some time.

Thanks again guys!

Of course Ed - though I didn't take allot and none should be in a magazine

Will bring a disc or thumb drive to SAAC

My wife took a bunch of pics at the rare mustang display. Hopefully she will have time tomorrow to edit and load them. Will post them up when I have them.

Here's a link to the pictures my wife and I took at Charlotte.

The opening pictures are of my friends Richie & Carolyn (priceless)'s Mach 1.  The last few pictures of the maroon '66 coupe are of my car.  In between is anything and everything that we found interesting!

Good luck with that technology and Spec Ed.

Yes but its better than emailing them to him. Hate when he shakes the computer trying to get the pictures out

Hello???

Are you trying to down load individual or a bunch at once.   I often get an error message when I try to do a batch upload so I just work around it. If your having that problem PM Charles and he may be able to help   Or start a need help in the general discussion rather than embed it in another thread where it might get overlooked by the mods
