Default 1969-1970 MANUAL GRAND PRIXs at Norwalk SHOW

Drove my 1970 Grand Prix for almost 8 hours yesterday to/from the Norwalk Ames Show.Just for the one day but was shocked at the manual Grand Prixs ! I think there were 5 or 6 there .It was a Great Show and Had fun although Felt sorry for the racers ,it was butally hot .The AC worked on my car but blew the high speed fan fuse on the way back Had fun great to see all those Ponchos!

your grand prix also was beautiful. It was the only one that stopped me in my tracks for a closer look, as I believe ive never seen it before.

I`ve got a soft spot for those cars, and the `68 to `72 Olds 442`s.

Appreciate the ride ! Love the manual gearbox cars, mind if I smoke, makes me nervous when someone else drives.

Car really looks good on the inside, especially with the stick, kinda puts a punctuation on class and performance.

Excellent haircut on that dude, gotta ask, did he know you took that er did you sneak it?

Thanks for all the pics Bob.

Have to ask what size tires and wheels you’re using front and rear to help get that stance?

Too bad you can't get out here Bob for the SVGTO Club show on August 18th. Your GP would be a sure fire hit... especially seeing it's 4 speed GP.

Looks like they had a great day and a good crowd from the photos on your Flicker album.

I swear, every '69 GP owner was there. All kidding aside, I had no less than 20 '69 GP owners looking for parts. I don't think I have spoken to 20 in the past 10 years. Was this a '69 GP convention I didn't hear about?

Love the GP`s!

My buddies race car was an original 4 speed car.

He found it in a field with the rods hanging out of the block;true story.
