I stopped their yesterday on my way back from Chicago picking up the NOS quarter panels for my car. (That was a whole fiasco trip in itself. I blew a brake line on the highway doing 60 just outside Chicago at 4:00 in the afternoon. Didn't hit anyone or anything though through shear luck. Took an extra day to make it back to town and $550 for the repairs, tow and hotel for the night.)
I didn't have my computer, so I didn't get a chance to see if anyone else here was going. If you saw someone wandering around with a sign on his back showing a red 68 quarter section of a car for sale, that was me.
Their were a few nice examples of first gens their, but many of them were modified a bit.
I don't know if you saw the guy with a really nice red 1968 firebird convertable in the show area. He was on his way to the show on the Ohio turnpike and had a rear passenger side belt break free. It slapped around and put a huge dent into his quarter. It was very sad to see.
I found a few parts for my car in really nice condition and some NOS stuff. Reasonable prices too. I bought a couple of items to list on Ebay to try and make up for some of $$$ losses in the past few day/ weeks.
Their were a couple for sale as well. A recently not so nicely redone 67 in green for 25K, a couple of complete basket cases with no price on them. I took a bunch of pictures, but I don't have the time today to go through them and upload somewhere. Maybe later this week. Let me know what you saw and liked.

The wife and I were there from about 10:30-2:00pm. Didn't buy much but enjoyed looking at the cars which is the main reason I went. Saw the '68 with quarter damage. It was hard to believe that a Goodrich T/A would fail like that, but he had a picture to show it.
I didn't take many pictures but should have. There were more cars in the modified section than in previous years. A very well done '64 GTO, a mauve '60 Cat that's been there several years past and an absurd '69 GTO pro-street with TWO 6-71 blowers on top of each other with the pair sitting on an intercooler box and a blower-to-dual quad manifold adapter. I think the aircleaner tops were 7' off the deck. Silly.
This fellow is a member over on the PY boards. It's always cool to see other folks vision or dream of what they want their car to end up as and this has got to be one of the most radical engines I've seen. Not my particular taste but good to see any 70 goat still running which is one of my two favorite years. Paint and interior looking very sharp! JUDGERAIV, any time you want to post a photo of your 69 Judge I don't think any one here would mind either.
I already have a 67,It is regimental red.I do like that blue on you car.Is that the montreaux blue or fathom blue or tyrol blue.They had alot of blues to pick from in 67.
