Spring Fling XXVI

April 22, 2012

Spring Fling is noted as the Biggest Mopar Show West on the Mississippi, and they have a class for AMC ! In fact 4 trophy's came our way !
We had 10 cars here. A Javelin, Jav/AMX, SCRamber, & 7 AMX's ! 3 less then last year, but where do you see a group of AMC's, other then an AMC Show ?

I met up with John & Allen on the way up the 15, we met up wth Mark, Hobie, & Steve for breakfast about a mile from the show. We got lots of looks coming into the show, I know these are Mopar people, but I think they give us a little respect, they know we have a rare breed.

Just like last year, Jay Leno had his Turbo car there, like one of 6 made. I only saw pix last year, but the car was still there this time. I tried to spot Leno, but I missed him again....Maybe next year....

A few SuperBirds & Daytonas sitting around amongst a ton of Mopars, 676 cars ! So many, does everyone have a Mopar ? I just wish we had the vendors & remanufactured parts supply they have, maybe some day....

No Sublime here, is this a BBG Roadrunner ?!? Cool Color !

There were 2 1970 AMX Show cars here, Dave got 1st for his Orange, Mani 2nd for his Red, Steve 3rd for his SCRambler, & Mark 4th for his red AMX. I love shows where they have a class for us, very few do. We are usually ignored at shows (trophy wise). People love seeing our cars, you can write down all the comments, save them for other shows & check them off, it's funny !

Our group, from back left, John Geo Blue AMX, Allen RW&B, Me BBG, Mark Red, Hobie Alamosa, Steve SC, Dave Orange, Mani Red, Rob Green JAMX....missing is Leo & his Green Jav, he left before I got the pix.

Lots of walking at this show, tons of vendors & swap meeters, but hard to find anything AMC. By late Lunch time I was tuckered out, then the trophys, then the 2+ hour drive home, but it was a Beautiful Day !
