went on the power tour in my 96 Grand Sport. over 2000 miles in 7 days. and I skipped the first 3 cities. I went from ft. worth tx to Louisiana then to Arkansas then to Memphis tenn. where I caught the tour. then to Birmingham al. then to Gulfport miss. then to baton rouge la. and back home to tx tomorrow.
here are some pics.

Memphis hotel and the show in Memphis.






then the hotel and show pics in Birmingham






then Gulfport















then baton rouge.





and that's it. the old c4 didn't have any problems. didn't have to lift the hood once. only problem was a bolt fell out the muffler hanger. got a new one at autozone and fixed it already.
still have 500 miles to drive home tomorrow.

Great pics, thanks for sharing. Been on three HRPT's myself. Long hauler on each one. Fun times.

Thanks for the pictures. It looks like the weather wasn't always cooperative.
Your car looks great. I would guess you got a lot of questions on your rear spoiler.

856SPEED

Nice pics.....enjoy the rest of the ride back home....wish I could have made this one; I noticed it hit Gateway Racetrack on the other side of the river from St. Louis in Illinois before continuing south to your neck of the woods. Would have like to join that caravan.....maybe next year........again, love the spoiler; would look good on mine in reverse color scheme.....

Looks like normal Power Tour weather to me.

Nice pics, post up some more when you get a chance.

Corvettes seem to attract the rain.
4 generations in the rain at a PT stop in 2007.





It wouldn't be the Power Tour if it didn't rain for at least part of it.

I saw you at the power tour 2013 in Arlington tx.
I was in my 82 vette back then


did get a couple but not that many. I only saw a couple of c4s and never did talk to any c4 owners. they were never by there car when I was by them.

yes I think the spoiler would look great on your car. i'm only making @ 10 more of them and that's it. no more. if you want one let me know

I did see a red 96 that I thought was you. it had a procharger on it. VERY CLEAN!!! I was drooling over it.

not a problem, here are some more pics. does anyone remember this..... one of my favorites

this one was hand built by the owner, it's HUGE!!!! it passed me on the interstate doing @ 100mph and took up the whole lane and some of mine. weighs 9000 lbs. owner is on the left in the pic.

and this one was interesting. look at where it's from.

1963SS

Was that you that made me go 125 MPH trying to keep up? I was cruising with a Grand Sport and the driver must have been trying to clean his plugs a bit. I was in the 1995 Impala SS and thought I'd clean mine also. We were just gettin' it. What a great trip. Made the long haul with my 19 year old nephew.

GS977

that was probably me hit @ 120 mph once or twice
was yours the maroon ss with ghost flames and afr heads?

1963SS

Yessir, that would have been me. The ghost flames made it a hot rod. Now I need some of those Japanese stickers for the windows and it'll be fast. This is a small world.

No ProCharger on my car.
But there is a member here with a Red '95 ProCharged Vette that does the PT.
Perhaps it was him?


I have seen that car before. Did he have another Aussie friend with him?
They ship their cars over, and then spend a few weeks touring the country.

Took these way back on the 2005 Power Tour at Miller Park in Milwaukee.

GS977

i didn't see the blue car anywhere, just the red one. it looks like a cross between a 71-73 mustang and a torino. interesting.
that was probably him in the red 95. never got to meet him. he has polished alum. wheels. not original c4 wheels. don't remember what they looked like. car looks like new it was so clean going by me at @ 100mph. I tried to keep up but didn't want to go that fast. we cruised @70-80 most of the time

RollaMo-LT4

Those are factory body Aussie Ford XB Falcon GT 351 cars.
Your right, looks like a cross between a Mustang and Torino.

If you saw the Vette I am talking about, he can run mid-high 11's in the quarter.
