I would have loved to fully correct this car but it is a true race car. It`s value is in the engineering of the mechanicals. It is truly an incredible car. Race cars are not show cars.

The Concours is the weekend of July 31; this will be its first year in Plymouth, as it used to be held at Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester.

Detomaso Vallelunga

Is that really a pink C1 `vette sitting next to it? That`s just shameful.

I`ll look forward to seeing that Detomaso at the Concours next year if I can make it down; I`ve already tentatively blocked out the time to make it this year, it should be fun!

The corvette is a one off restored built for a group like the Shriners. It was ordered that way originally.

I`m looking forward to the Vallelunga being done. Everything will be taken apart and restored. The only show I haven`t had a best in class with a car I`ve been involved with is Pebble. I think this will be the one.
