Discussion Forum - Northstar Chevelle Club

I went on Saturday. Kind of a let down, really.

The show cars weren't too great. A couple nice rides for sure, but I wasn't floored by anything exceptional. Some of the cars in the secondary room upstairs looked like daily drivers...there wasn't much restriction on what was let in. I guess if you were willing to pay the entry fee they'd let you in.

The old-school room in the basement was pretty cool. Some junk, but a lot of fun stuff too. Besides us, it seems like the rat rod/traditional rod guys are having the most fun. No trailer queens in that crowd.

It did get the blood flowing and make me want to drive the wagon, that's for sure! Well...at least until we had to drive home through the damn snow flurries. That was a reality check!

Only cool car was the 67 impala SS427 car and the trojan horse. Got in for free and still a disapointment.

Most of the cars there are local and can be seen at local events throughout the summer. The Camaro Club had a 67 Z28 on display. It is one of 602 produced and only a handful of verified 67 Z's still in existence. Still it was restored bone stock, original and cast iron manifolds and skinny Red Line tires never did impress me. I always prefer to see day 2-3 cars with modifications and big meats...

its a warm up to spring pay 13 bucks or get in free, plenty of ways to do that. its all local. see all the guys you see in north st paul and hastings and everywhere else. get a jump on the bs. msra was there, i go to a bunch of there stuff. pizza shop was there, i go there every thursday. acme was there i go to some of there stuff. talked about shows we had to make. that aussie one looks great. grandkids got to meet a disney person. stopped by camaro but mitch wasn't coming till 3pm. had a good time.
