Default Corvette Expo Anyone?

Corvette Expo In Knoxville starts this Friday. I am going to go and pick up a bunch of small stuff for my 70 model. Who all is gonna make the trek to Knoxvegas? Maybe we will see you there.

I'll be there. Maybe I'll finally get a Corvette at the auction. I just love the chrome bumper vettes, and they've got a bunch of 'em to sell that they listed in the Sunday paper. It would probably be in my wife's interest to find me something else to do...

If I can get the '79 running, I'll be there. My fiance's parents live in Knoxville, so I'll have an excuse to go! :D

The two Vettes clubs of Chattanooga are meeting Saturday morning at the Cracker Barrel on Shallowford Road at 8am to caravan to the Expo for the day. We welcome anyone who wants to join in with us. You don't have to be a member, just drive your Vette.

And Adam, if you can't get your '79 running, we will tow you there. Smile

CharlieS :cheers:

Lee, if you get a real bumper, car I'll kiss your butt and give you an hour to draw a crowd to watch. :rolleyes:
Then I'll ask if I can go for a drive in it but I think I'm pretty safe on this one.
I'm gonna try and make it on Friday.

Hahahahaha...
:lol: :lol: :lol:
You are lucky. I checked their website and the auction is just Friday. I'm going on the weekend. However, they did say they have 600+ vettes for sale in the "corral"...

Its website is http://www.corvetteexpo.com/oct_fall_show.html

Looks like 9-6 Friday and Sat, 9-3 on Sunday for $8. Nothing on the brochure about a dyno, but maybe BP or some other vendor will bring one.

CharlieS,
Thanks for the offer! She's not going to be running, so can I just sit behind the wheel while you're towing her. :D Just kidding. I'd like to eat with you guys, but I don't think that the caravan would be quite the same in my S-10 :) I'm heading up Friday to see my fiance anyway. Where are you guys going to be Saturday. I plan on getting there about 10. I'd like to meet up and hang out for a while. See you there!

:cool: Adam, We aren't that well organized that I can tell where we will be at a given time, but our plans are to meet and caravan up to the Expo together. After that, I am sure that we will agree upon a departing time back to Chattanooga, but there are some who always break away with a personal agenda. I personally will be visiting with a friend who is selling a few Vettes at the show; You might look him up, and you will probably find me there. His name is Charlie Oliver of Charlie O Corvettes, Winston Salem, NC. Hope to meet you.

If not, check out our website www. rivercitycorvetteclub.com and visit with us at our November meeting. We are having Mike Yeager, owner of Mid-America, speak at that meeting.

See ya. Charlie S

My wife & I are planning to drive up to K'ville and would appreciate the chance to caravan with other Corvettes. Look forward to seeing you @ the Cracker-barrel in the AM.
