Good afternoon, fellow Camaro enthusiasts.....

Looking for a few good Camaros on the West Coast

San Bernardino will once again hold their annual Route 66 Rendezvous this
September....and Camaro is a featured Brand. Chevy will have a space set aside
to celebrate Camaro's 35th Birthday Party.....and we need a couple great
examples of each generation.......must be stock or very lightly modified .......

So.....if you have any friends on the West Coast with a "killer Camaro" (and
aren't they all....just ask any Mustang........) here is Traci Pimpare's email
address....she's our contact at GM RWorks and she will be coordinating the
show.......

Dates: Need the Camaros on Thursday morning, Sept. 13...with moveout on Sunday,
Sept 16 after 4:00pm

Traci can be reached at tpimpare@gmrworks.com

many thanks in advance!

Hey, thanks for the notice! I just got back from out of the country (I was in India doing volunteer work for 2 months....missing my SS like crazy!). I live in Riverside, about 10 minutes away from San Bernardino and would be happy to oblige with my 2000 SS. I'm emailing Traci right now, but do you have any other info on it? The only 2 mods I have are an SLP STB and Reflective Concept Camaro stickers...

Thanks for the info!

"...the show is open to vehicles 1900-1972 and any year Corvette, Prowler, and Viper."

So us new Camaros are crap but if you have a performance car like a Prowler they are happy to have you.. or you could say new musclecars dont count unless you spend $50k on one.. And to think this is a GM sponsored event.. no wonder nobody wants to buy fbodies! to GM if you dont have a vette you dont rate..

However, I emailed Traci and haven't got a response.......I wonder if somebody else (may be Scott or Possum) could try to contact them and see what's up?

Thanks,

First off, the organization that does the Route 66 Rendezvous is not General Motors...rather, it is (I believe) the Chamber of Commerce. They have established rules as to what cars can cruise and what cars cannot....while I am not a subject expert, I have attended this event several times in the past couple of years, and I believe (not gospel) that they limit the age of the cars due to the fact that if they didn't it would be chaos...it is a well-planned route, but it is through the downtown streets, and if they didn't limit what cars could cruise by age....well, you can imagine...(I mean, should people be cruising in a new minivan or sport ute at a classic car show?) The Camaro was inducted into the Route 66 Hall of Fame in 1997 when it turned 30.....Corvette was inducted a year or two before...as was Chevy before that. Since that time, GTO and other classic cars have been inducted. Now..as to the "only if you are driving a Corvette or a Prowler or Viper....I don't know why they made that statement. And I can't decipher what they may be thinking...

I didnt think you misled me.. And im used to car shows that limit the age of cars to keep out the rice, etc.. but i do get tired of being a "second class" car. Why if they can allow new vetts, vipers and prowlers (ugh!) cant they invite specific models of Camaro? (such as SS & Z28).. Whenever I visit a show with my SS i get many people interested in looking at it.. mostly because you dont see them often while you cant throw a rock without hitting a vette (no offense to vettes ~ If you would like a copy of the email from them stating that these certain new cars are allowed let me know and I would be happy to send you a copy..

I'm in the same boat with NiravSS... still haven't gotten a response from Traci. Maybe they have a bunch of requests already for this event? Sounds like fun though! Thanks again Scott!

I haven't heard anything either....I sent her two emails, thinking one might not have gotten to her over the labor day weekend, but I haven't heard anything. I thought about mail bombing her account but decided against it. Funny thing though, they don't have any info on the event at the GM RWorks site either. But ya, SSTeve, if you hear from her, please forward my email address to her too.....worse come worse, I'll go and seen the other fine cars there!

It would appear she's dropped off the face of the earth ..... she said she'd get back with me by Wednesday and nada! Perhaps the Fbodfather (Don Vito Settlemire) can shed some light on this conundrum.
