Default Calling all Formulas..MCACN 2017 Display

I was talking to Bob Ashton (MCACN President) about the idea of a '70 - '74Formula Display and he loved the idea. The cars would ideally have the highest performance motor (RAIII, 455HO, SD455, and RA455) and represent the myriad of colors and options offered by PMD those years, from strippers to loaded cars. He suggested that we would need 10 - 12 cars for the display and they have to be nice cars, not necessarily trailer queens. I would enter my Canyon Copper '71 and my brother's Ascot Silver'74 455 RA Formula. Now we need color and power for the other 8 -10 Formy's....any interest out there in PY land???

WHAT!!!! BLASPHEMY!!!! Actually, this is the one show that is worth a day or two in the woods. The others... not so much. You should have bagged a bambi or two by MCACM anyway, so you could make it (lol).

Absolutely, I would love to have both '74 yellow SD's at the display, so take that as a yes. I'll put you on the list. Thanks!

Should be - motor is built, car is in primer now and he has all the parts it needs including duplicates - don't see any reason why it can't be.

You might ask Larry Weymouth. He just got his 71 Fluffed up and is now on the road.

OK, we have Mike's '72 Sundance; my '71 CC, Dan's '74 Silver; maybe Larry's LG '71, and Chris' yellow '74 SD. Not a bad start.

We still need a couple of '70 RAIII cars and '73 RA 455's or SD's, and another '71 and '72.

Anyone know of some '70 RAIII's nearby that could make the show? or another '71?

How about Bob's black '72?....(Bentwheel) Bob, would this be something you would consider?

Count me and the Black Car in for this. Although I am preparing to exit the "car scene" to become a big game hunter, I would love to be in the mix at this show as my farewell. My new goal is to get a picture of an elk or deer across the hood of the each Fbody I own. Hah, hah....

That's almost as many points as the red car

I'll wait to see how 2016 goes with my 73 SD Formula. I might be in with the 73 Ram Air Formula 455.

Thanks Bob and James for volunteering your beautiful Formulas! So now we have:

1970: TBD & TBD
1971: Dennis' CC & Larry's Green
1972: Bob's Black & Mike's Sundance
1973: James Blue & TBD
1974: Chris' Yellow & Dan's Silver

So, still needing both '70 and one '73. We may have to make it a 455 motor display if we don't get any RAIII's and add one more of each year for 12 cars.

Thanks, Dennis

Bob, I forgot to mention that rack would make a hell of a hood ornament for any car...

This will be a cool event. I'd love to bring my '70, but I'm just getting started on the resto and there's zero chance of it being done in a year at the turtle pace that I restore cars...

But I'm looking forward to coming to the show to see everyone else's!
