im gonna post up some pics from a recent car show in hershey pa i went to a few weeks ago i remember years ago the show was crazy big it was really small this year and on grass so i stuck to checking out the cars for sale since for some reason there was not really any muscle in the show itself like there was 8-9 years ago but there was some neat cars for sale including

2 cobra jet mach 1's i have pictures of 1 it was going for 6x,000 i forget the exact number but it was a steal it was beautiful

2 boss 302's i have pics of 1 that was selling for 5x,000 dont remember exact price

a mid to late 60s 427 impala(had to be 1 of my top 3 cars that i loved there) it was that granny green color that i love

68 dart gts like my brothers it was an orig 340 car like his but his is now a built aluminum headed 440(stock stuff is in storage) ill post pics of his car id like opinions. its flat black with white interior and all new sheet metal its nasty looking

69 copo chevelle in dark blue it was god damn nasty with the dog dishs and steelies. im not sure on the options didnt check it out up close but they want 550,000
