Default Boeing Car Show

I took my car to the Boeing Car Show today. There were about 100 cars in it, plus some bikes, and of course an airplane (looks like a Mustang....WWII era fighter). The 700rwhp Saleen was there....didn't know he worked at Boeing. Someone broguht their super charged Viper in. And with Kent McGruders 63 Galaxy 500 XL with the 428 (Ford Drag Team member....red 65 Mustang).

And there was a 56 Chevy you guys need to see. Black, slammmed 56 Bel Air, LS1 motor, AND an almost complete interior swap with a 2000 SS. Very nicely done.....sorry I can't take pics here.

Yeah I went out there today, it was a pretty good turn out. I saw your car out there looking real pretty with the hood up. Very nice bling underneath the hood. Now if it were only fast, lol. (j/j Calm down.) But yeah, did you see that White Conv C5 w/ the (I believe) 5 spoke Black I-Forged rims. It looked pretty sweet. All in all it was a nice turn out, sorry no pics guys.


Hey mark what intake did you go with? 90 or 78?

I went with a 78 since I didn't have a stroker motor...at the time.

Yeah, it's a Boeing fund raiser. Inside, employees only. Donate $ for the car you like.

The guy with the 56 was stunned when I was looking under his car....told him I was looking to see if he had dropped a Bel Air body on a 2000 Camaro frame. "How'd you know it was a 2000?!"

You cannot bring a camera onto Boeing property without a camera pass. And they aint easy to get. When pics are posted here, I will try to copy some over. BTW, we raised about $4500.
