Greg,
No clipboard-toting authenticity sniffers for me thanks. My originality issues
begin with radial tires (de rigueur in my opinion), inauthentic (Mercedes
replicas even!) sun visors, unoriginal (to my car) dual stainless (gasp!)
exhausts, an electric fan, unoriginal (to my car) wire wheels (and splined
hubs, etc., etc.), Mark II type emergency flashers, etc., etc., etc. I even
tried installing an electronic ignition but it unfortunately got fried via
hooking it up backwards (who knew we'd been switched over to negative ground?)
All of which makes it big fun to drive (except for the fried ignition). It
would doubtless be a treat to go and have a look, but I'll burn my 50 clams in
my gas tank instead of enter thank you very much.

Hi Group,
Sounds very fancy, and not sure many of us have cars that would do well
on an originality judging such as this (except for you, Norm), but these
are always interesting. Tom Price is a sponsor, and most of us know
something of his collection...
How was the drive on Saturday? Looks from the photos that the Wine
Country group had a lot of interesting cars on their drive, which was
the same day.
Cheers,
Greg Tatarian
