Not this year, but hopefully some year.
Maybe in 2018 when my car turns 50 and still shows single digits on the odometer.

Yea same here. I will be there helping a friend sell parts. I will be there Thursday- sunday
Single digits ! Really ! That is impressive.
The one in my avatar, not the BB car. "8 miles, no kidding" is true.
If the BB car had single digits, I couldn't afford it!

LOL I hear ya
I might be there this year. If so will possible bring my survivor MODTOP for sale. She deserves to go into a public museum for display and all to see.
Cool let me know, I would love to see it
Man, that car is a beauty!!! How did you find one with 8 miles on it?
Pure luck.
Talking cars at a new job back in 2003, and one of the guys knew of this car and knew the family that owned it for years. It sat in the dealership in Holdrege, NE until 1984 when the owner passed away (I have pictures supporting this). One thing led to another and a week later I went to Texas to pick it up, with 6.9 miles on the odometer. Show car trailer queen since 1984.

Your welcome. Gotta get this clutch chatter deal figured out so I can really enjoy it. That is driving me nuts trying to resolve. I've got a drivers seat cover to install but that's it for the interior, BTW that is original yellow as well. This car was for sale on A Bodies for a while last year. I added the 15" small bolt Cragars, fixed the brakes and have got her running like a top. Power front drums with power steering. console 4 speed. Engine was balanced and blue printed. When right, this car should flat boil the tires.
Pics from today down at the lake. Seems the old pics are trash!

Daves69,
Looks nice! B5?
Almost did the six pack scoop but chickened out in the end opting for stock.

Based on the posts thus far can we assume the value of our cars went up by 20K? Wishful thinking anyhow!!!

My guess is that there isn't many original 383 cars still out there based on the very low production #'s.

I got a wild hair and did the scoop a few years back trying to get some of the look it had at one time.
So yeah, B5 on half of it. Previous owner smacked someone with it, hence the white nose today. It's an old lacquer job that was done late '70s prior to me owning it and shows the age. For a short while it had a '67 nose job until I bought the white '69 stuff. It's done a lot of waiting around for other priorities and collecting parts.
Starting to mess with it here lately though. Pulled the carpet out last week. Ya' understand "gag a maggot", lol.
