    Well, I don't think I would ever apply as that guy who guess's your age at the circus, so I might be out bt a few years, and if it was him I do apologize. LOL

    Heh.......who knows eh ?

    I also know Wayne E.......another Rossa Corsa 599 owner here in town......that could be who you are talking about.....but it wasn't him I saw either. He's been a customer of mine for 10 years now and the 599 he bought was the one on display at the auto show last year. A great guy and a real car nut.

    Art lives near my Mother and has a couple of F-cars in the garage. Always a pleasure to see them out.

    There is one RC 599 residing in Mt. Royal. He has it out often...

    Yes art shows up for coffee and cars a lot and sometimes it's the F430 and sometimes it's the 599 he chooses. Anybody here go to coffee and cars on Saturdays?

    It is at Calgary Aston Martin/Bentley in the Glendeer Circle. Anybody can show up and look at the cars or enjoy a refreshment. I am not sure if they have started up for this year yet or not. Maybe in a couple of weeks. It usually is best between 9-11 AM

    Definitely a '69. My favorite muscle car in my favorite color. Nice little garage there!

    Here's another Calgary garage I came across on my trip there last week -- despite my friendly disposition the owner did not wish to take me up on my offer to take one off his hands:

    Yea, as Tanner said, it is a 1969. It is a Yenko 427 Tribute, I don't have $250,000-$1,250,000 to spend on a real one, so, as these cars are not around anymore I made this one to show people what these cars were all about waay back when. Some people don't like Clones, but these types don't bother me, it is either come and see a clone or just read about them in books, cause as I said, there just is not any around to appreciate. It even has the bias ply tires and single transverse muffler into to small tailpipes like they came from the factory.

    Ohhh man.

    I thought that it looked like a COPO of some kind. Your car collection reflects great taste, IMO. Awesome, awesome cars!!

    PS - The details in your Yenko build look spot on and top notch. Love the pictures, thanks for sharing.
