Brigham City, Utah Peach Days Car Show

I met markso125 and a cool dude from Idaho with a 77 Mustang II Cobra w/nitrous, I'll try to post a few of his later.

 

a few more of my 74

 

And now the Mustang II Cobra

What's you guys opinion on this A car show over 1,000 cars, trucks, Jeeps, and in my opinion only 3 70's original cars the Mustang II, a Valient or Fury ,and my 74 Maverick. I think its B.S. the award goes to an Olds 4-4-2 (I don’t want to hear any rebuttals on this keep it to your self please) that’s factory performance modified. Long story short I guess it didn’t make a difference they had 44 classes including motor cycle, commercial, specialty car, and under construction which was not judged. When they announced the winners they said they judged them on what car they would like to drive home tonight. For 2010 I suggest they change the name to Peach Days Car Show our Favorite 43 cars. Yeah the Mustang vote counts towards the Maverick this meaning meaning to give credit to the regular 70's gas cruch cars Dusters include although I dont recall seeing one do you Mark?

 

Response from the guy with the 4-4-2........

"factory performance modified"?????????
Yea, You're busted.....I'm the guy that owns the 1972 Hurst/Olds at the Peach Days Car show in Brigham City Utah that won the 70's Original class......
Imagine that....I go looking for pictures of the Peach Days Car show on line and look what I find....this thread...your thread....slamming my car.....and you even had the audacity to come sit under my canopy, enjoy the shade, and talk to me during the car show.....nothing like a back stab huh dude?........but ya probably never imagined I would look on a Maverick/Comet forum huh?.....I guess you didn't remember I told you that I used to OWN ONE!......And I even gave you a compliment on your car while you were there.....gee...that's gratitude for ya.......
First of all let's get a couple things straight.....The "70's Original" class at the Peach Days car show was intended for cars that correctly represent what the model of a 70's car was in it's original dealer form, the way it was when it came off of the showroom floor......
Therefore, you couldn't be farther from the truth about my car....It is NOT a "factory performance modified 4-4-2". I'm not even sure what you mean by that.....irregardless.....My 1972 Hurst/Olds is a rare special edition, and completely ORIGINAL! You'd better look that word up in the dictionary, and while you're doing research that you should have done before posting your BS, go to www.hurstolds.com and learn about the Hurst Olds.
Now from what I remember, the Ford motor company never made a model of a Maverick grabber like yours, to include the custom paint, custom graphics, after market wheels, engine modifications and performance add-ons. And you have the nerve to say that your Maverick and the Mustang Cobra II were the only original 70's cars there....Ha Ha Ha Ha......you're a comedian too.....thanks for the laugh......I don't remember any ORIGINAL Cobra II's coming from the dealer with NOS and chrome traction bars......The key word here is ORIGINAL.....My 1972 Hurst/Olds was a special edition Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme modified by Hurst performance company in cooperation with Oldsmobile to be a replica of the 1972 Indy 500 Pace Car. Hurst Performance company and Oldsmobile made 629 replicas of the pace car available to the public and they were sold to the public by Oldsmobile off of the dealer showroom floors. My car is an original W-45 coded Hurst Olds, 1 of 279 hard top coupes. My car is exactly as it came from the dealer.....and is factory O-R-I-G-I-N-A-L.
Obviously you don't realize that when you MODIFY a vehicle from stock form with custom paint, custom wheels, custom interior pieces, custom engine add-ons (headers, intake, carb, air cleaner, chrome, etc..) the vehicle is no longer ORIGINAL.....it is MODIFIED, and belongs in the MODIFIED class. And you even admit your car is a Maverick Grabber CLONE!....and a clone sure isn't original......
I'm not sure what prompted you to say what you did...Maybe it's just jealousy......I never bad mouthed your car......but that's OK....you've shown your true side......but my compliment on your car still stands.....nice?....yes......original?.....not quite.......
Just in case you don't remember, you told me where you work and I'm sure you'll be at other Utah car shows......so try and get your story straight about my car next time you decide to spew some more BS.......
At least the judge and the many other people that complimented my car at Peach Days '09 got it right.....

 

Yeah your car looked great, man get tired of wading through all of the mustangs and camaros just to get to a decent car.

 

nice mav!!!

 

Nope I dont remember seeing any dusters or vegas for that matter, I did remember seeing a couple novas though. Did like the old fairlanes thought not every day you get to see a 64 with a SOHC 427 in it, my step son had to ask why there were tennis balls stuck in the fuel injection stacks

I didnt get to see the south side of forrest street though, all I saw was a bunch of nissan 350z's and some corvettes and those dont impress me that much, of course I wasnt impressed by any of the guys that brought the off the showroom mustangs, camaros, or challengers to the show either.

 

Utah, isn't that where that women has 19 kids !?!?!

 

Nope even though utah is a fitting place with some of the familys around here they live in Tontitown, Arkansas....Hmmm wonder if Bill Clinton has something to do with that mess

 

dude a mav is never out of place in the rockies. and come on you gotta get it right it's the wasatch front. when you say the rockies it reminds me of colorado. but man your car looks great and from a fellow utahn i know what your talking about. i don't go to the jc hacket car shows verry offten any more because they are the same old 10 cars that are always there. if my comet was on the road i would have so been there. it would have been sweet.

 

The Maverick looks real cool sitting there, that looks like a nice show , sunny with lots of cars.

 

Yeah at one point I was told they had over a thousand cars there this year, it is one of the biggest car shows in northern utah. As for sunny yes it was all of my kids are about as red as johns maverick

 

Let me try this again since my first post never made it.......This is a
REBUTTAL from the guy that owns the "4-4-2 that's factory performance modified"
Imagine that....I'm out on the net looking for pictures of the Peach Days Car show in Brigham City Utah and I just happen to google this thread.....and what do I find?.....You doggin' my car.....how uncool......Yea Dude, you're busted.....bet you never thought I'd see this......and you even had the audacity to come over under my canopy, enjoy the shade, and talk a while......And I even complimented you on your car.......Maybe next time I see you, you can take the knife out of my back....
First of all, let's get a couple things straight....
1.) You couldn't be any further from the truth about my car.....it is NOT a 442.....442's were made by Oldsmobile at the factory. My car is an ORIGINAL 1972 Hurst/Olds....I have been very meticulous to restore it back to original specs just the way it was when it came from the dealer .....Our cars were entered in the 70's ORIGINAL class......maybe you should look that word up....and while you're researching, go to www.hurstolds.com and educate yourself on my car before spewing any more BS.......My all original, 1972 Hurst Olds Indy Pace Car replica was created by Hurst Performance in cooperation with Oldsmobile and uses the Cutlass Supreme body style for it's platform. It is one of 279 W-45 coded hardtop coupes that Hurst made to sell to the public to celebrate the Indianapolis 500. 1972 was the only time in Indy history that the Pace car was sponsored by a manufacturer other than one of the major car makers.....Hurst and Oldsmobile made 629 of the Hurst/Olds to sell to the public off of the dealer showroom floors.
2.) And while we're talking originality here, I don't ever remember Ford making a Maverick Grabber like yours with custom paint, graphics, Mag wheels like yours, interior mods and engine mods like yours has.....and you even state that yours is a clone....and a clone certainly isn't original.....And as far as the Mustang Cobra II...I don't recall them rolling off the showroom floor with original NOS injection or chrome traction bars......so as far as originality goes, your car, and the Mustang, couldn't have been more off......To clarify....when you MODIFY a vehicle with headers, intake, chrome, custom paint, graphics, mags, etc.....It is a MODIFIED vehicle, and belongs in the MODIFIED class.......My compliment still stands, you have a nice car.....modified?...yes....original?.....not quite.
I'm not sure what prompted you to say what you did.......jealousy maybe?....whatever.....but I never once talked bad about your car......Sorry that you feel it's BS that my car won.....but based on what many people told me at the show, and the judges decision, the better car won the 70's ORIGINAL class.
Better luck next time......

 

Thanks guys, I was pretty sun burnt too when I got home, I’d followed my brother and nephew up in my Kia and we forgot lawn chairs. So we wondered around aimlessly for the most part. I knew Mark’s and is it Bart; Bartikus Mavericks weren’t going to be there due to their postings but was hoping for the other local Maverick to be there Darwin’s heroes or something like that. Earlier this summer I’d hoped all 4 of us could have made it. Mark did you happen to see that 79 or later fox body Mustang with yellow, orange and red north to south slanted stripes (It was not in car show it should have been.) parked on 500 west? I’d seen and heard him leave a local grocery store on 36th St in Ogden a few months ago as I was parking the Kia. WOW! His engine sounded tough, it sounded like a WW II F4U Corsair idling on aircraft carrier deck I was impressed to say the least.

 

Wow……So I’m surfing the internet looking for Peach Days pictures and low and behold, I stumble onto a thread where this guy is calling my car a “442 that’s factory performance modified”. Ok, what the hell does that mean anyway? Factory performance modified? Weren’t all muscle cars “factory performance modified”? Anyway, this guy who is dogging my car and complaining about not winning, even had the audacity to come over under my canopy and enjoy the shade and talk to me. I even complimented him on his Maverick. That’s gratitude for ya huh? Maybe next time I see him he can take the knife out of my back.

First of all let’s get a couple things straight. My car is an all ORIGINAL 1972 Hurst/Olds. It is exactly the way it was when it rolled off of the dealer showroom floor in 1972. We were entered in the 70’s ORIGINAL class. Last time I checked, a Maverick Grabber clone with custom paint, custom graphics, custom bucket seats, engine mods, and aftermarket mag wheels, is NOT original. Neither is a Mustang Cobra II with NOS injection and chrome traction bars. So I would suggest he look up the word original in the dictionary, and while he’s at it, he should go to www.hurstolds.com and do a little research. If he does, he will learn that Hurst Performance Company created the 1972 Hurst Olds in cooperation with Oldsmobile to Pace the Indianapolis 500. It was the one and only time in Indy 500 history that the Indy Pace Car was sponsored by someone other than one of the big car companies. Hurst and Oldsmobile made 629 replicas of the Pace Car for sale to the public from Oldsmobile dealers. My car is 1 of 279 original W-45 coded hard top coupes. I was very meticulous to restore it back to original condition using NOS and like-NOS parts.


I’m not real sure why this guy thinks its BS that my car won. Jealousy maybe?….but based on the many compliments and positive comments I received on my car, and finally, the judge’s decision, the better car won…..
