I posted a video to Youtube of the cars in the Exhibition Hall at Fench Lick this year.
It was a great show and a lot of fun. It was a fun time with friends and great cars. If you haven't been, you need to go.
Very Nice Some great cars there
Nicely done -Brian
Awesome! Thanks so much!
Hi Brian, Nice work. Who did you have to pay off to film with no people. Or was everyone at dinner.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you.
Get up early... 6:00 AM (so really 3:00 AM for me being from the west coast :) ).
You're the MAN, thanks
Great video and some great kool rare cars. We had more cars show up after your video including a VERY RARE 70 blue cougar XR7 drag pack 4-speed ram air (CONVERTIBLE) a car i had found back 12 years ago or so and recently had a mopar guy i know buy it and we been correcting the car before its first showing at french lick and got some undercarriage work to do yet before it goes to MCACN. I was too busy working on 6 cars and getting them to show and ran out of time to get my SK 427 all aluminum side oiler together for the show as we just threw it together at the show friday night around 11 or so. Next year i will have it on display completed.
Here are a couple cars that didn't make the video.

Great tour of the show, Brian!
Folks, please add this show to your calendar for October 2025. This venue is ideal for concours!! The area also boasts of scenic drives. The Indiana SAAC club hosts are tops!
Great video, thanks!
For those unaware, this event includes SAAC national concours classes/judging. Counts the same as a SAAC convention concours award!
Great event
Awesome video Brian, well done and thanks for your time and effort! :)

LOL Brian I seem to find my way into car pics at shows like this. I'm in the Cougar pic behind the hood. It was great to finally get to the show and if it was 1 day later I wouldn't have as we had family health issues come up while we were there(had them the last few years also and missed the show). I was there supporting my friend(Ed helped him do the work) getting his 69 B9 ready as it won survivor gold status. Great video and until you answered I was wondering either very late or early as we were there late after dinner Friday looking at the cars and there were still people around and of course Ed working his tail off on many fronts.
That is a VERY RARE cougar and first time shown We went to KY to work on this car 2 times and getting correct parts on it before the show and it was just display as we still got undercarrage work to do. !970 cougar XR7 4-speed drag pack ram air convertible only 7 made. The owner is also in the photo and George H son travis.
Hope to see that Cougar in person sometime Ed.

ED, I was talking to George and Travis about the Cougar when the photo was taken. As I believe you know Ed I've known George since 1986 when I met him at a shop where my 69 Boss 429 I had just bought was at and he had one in the shop. I watched George go from working at ASC and having OEM Parts company(I bought a lot of his excellent repo parts back then and he still sells them to this day) to starting CDC as I stopped by his house one day when he and Terry were installing his first light bar in his McClaren. Boy the years have flown by....
When i found this cougar back years ago in tampa fl i told hank (george brother) to go buy it since hank and george are big cougar owners and they had it for awhile then sold it to FL collector todd werner who had it restored and i went down to florida restoration shop with brian styles to try and buy it since i regretted not buying it myself as i knew it was rare but after much research found out its much rarer than a drag pack shelby convertible. I asked the owner who inherited the car from his dad who was an indian from iowa of which i found odd so i looked up the selling dealer Axtell Ford newton iowa and there is an indian reservation outside of that town AND a dragstrip was in that area so that all adds up. I found an original metal Axtell ford dealer tag and its back on the decklid of this rare cat. Only 7 XR7 cougar drag pack convertibles were built and this one is hurst 4-speeed ram air so it dont get much better than that and i think there are only 2 others out there known to exist but i have never seen one in any magazine or show anywhere so has anybody ever found or seen another drag pack cougar convertible ?

Wow, the marti on this blue car is in that thread.
Great car. A 428 car built on 4/28 how poetic.
WOW phil thats another loaded KOOL goood looking cat and i just found out where that car is and was told a yellow one is in california ? That coral drag pack vert is a brass tag car as many brass tag cars are fully loaded. Interesting is these 2 rare drag pack verts coral and blue were only 100 miles or so apart in iowa.
