And so the journey begins.

At the Bradley terminal awaiting our flight to Saudi Arabia for the the first annual Riyadh Auto show. I have two cars and booth awaiting my arrival. Should be a pretty good event. Here is something on it. https://www.turnology.com/news/global-auto-salon-debut-in-riyadh-saudi-arabi/

 

[RiverDave]

Looking forward to seeing the pics!! What did ya send over there?

Looking forward to seeing the pics!! What did ya send over there?

My blue Camaro and the 62 bubble top I have.

 

[RiverDave]

That Camaro is sick! Almost looks like a drawing where they exaggerate the features..

Hopefully they both find a new home over there. Then I can find a home in Havasu.

Agreed!
Someone did a fabulous job making the profile just right.
And, I’m not normally a fan of the big wheel thing but it works on that car.

 

[rivermobster]

Have fun Jim...

 

[Riverfamlee]

Those are some bad ass rides!

 

[ElAzul]

The Saudis will throw cash at them for sure. Kinda sad in a way we send our classics over there to never be seen again but at least they won't rust

You going to sell the Camaro!!! That thing is awesome! Hope all is well with you, haven't seen you in a while.

All is good. Have had it long enough. Plus I can cash out and not see it again.

 

[RiverDave]

Let us know when ya get back! I’m sure we can find you something with a nice little shop on the side for storage or even work if ya want to do that as well. 928-706-4200

 

[RiverDave]

Someone would be him! He builds bad ass hot rods for a living.

 

[Meaney77]

You have had that thing forever, surprised your selling it!!

looking forward to seeing pix of your trip!

Super sad that classic cars and muscle cars are sort of a thing of the past for the next generations. Rarely see youngsters appreciate old cars let alone know how to work on them.

 

[SKIDMARC]

Makes sense, GLWS.

 

[Gelcoater]

I had no idea.
That’s F’n awesome.
And, it’s a 69
I’m 50

 

[Gelcoater]

In other words.
That car is as old as me.
But it looks a hell of a lot better

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Oh my, the Bubble Top. 409?

 

[monkeyswrench]

Good luck and safe travels! I hope the money and liquor flow freely, and a Havasu house is in your future

Take lots of pics...Trip of a lifetime for most. Very cool! Someday I want to play in the big leagues too

 

[bonesfab]

We have finally made it to the Riyadh airport. 30 hours from departure. It is 10:30 here. Awaiting luggage and then a date with a bed.

 

[bonesfab]

Oh my, the Bubble Top. 409?

Yes dual quad 409 car.

 

[bonesfab]

thanks. Only one problem. Saudi is a dry country. No alcohol here or in the plane on the way over. Wrong country to have a car event for that reason alone.

 

[Cole Trickle]

Enjoy.....My buddy Rich from Magnaflow was probably on the same plane.

It's my understanding everyone wen't on the same flight and even the fancy TV people still got shitty seats...lol

Every one wanted to upgrade.

 

[bonesfab]

Some pics from today. The amount they have built in for this deal is amazing. They had major rain for two days that really put them behind schedule. My cars are not out of the containers yet so I have a nice big empty booth.

Good thing about the cars still being boxed up is you can be there for unloading and move in.

Give you a 100$ if you take the 409 through the loop!

Dry country though...no "Hold my beer"...Hold my hookah just doesn't sound the same

 

[sprintcvx]

Great pics so far. Looks like a trip of a life time, have fun and I hope you sell some cars!

 

[Tank]

Damn that green car is insane!

Who's drivin' the loop!? Get a video of that shit.

I spy a nice slant now Porsche in the background. Fuckin' Saudi's will eat that Miami Vice shit right up! LOL

 

[Mandelon]

Keep the pics coming, this is cool!

 

[buck35]

Beautiful cars! How long did it take for them to arrive? You got to be a little anxious to see inside the box I imagine. GLWS!

 

[bonesfab]

Hopefully the car fairy shows up tonight so I can have them for the show opening tomorrow.

 

[mjc]

what kind of show is it? just cars or lots of cars stuff also?

 

[bonesfab]

Some more pics from walking around tonight.

 

[bonesfab]

what kind of show is it? just cars or lots of cars stuff also?

A whole circus of automotive shit. Monster jam, drifting, auction, vendors and cars. No alcohol and no hot models.

 

[MissB]

Did you used to have a shop in Esco? Name sounds familiar. Have fun!

No I have been in Camarillo forever.

 

[Instigator]

If you sell the car over there you wont have to worry too much about a chick wrecking the car as I hear most aren't allowed to drive. However some dude in a dress is more likely to wreck it which would be a shame.
Lol

That 69 Camaro is one of my Dream Cars and that one of yours would be a wet dream for me. Very Nice.

 

[rivermobster]

I had no idea.
That’s F’n awesome.

Jim has a kick ass shop. It's HUGE. And he's equipped to do Everything. He even has a Lazer plotter. So I do mean Everything.

I love that 62 409!
Do you know my son Dan Kahn?

[was thatguy]

Swear to God that Camaro gives me full chub.

 

[mjc]

I got this email the other day about for this show.

Yes I know Dan. Ran into him at Sema. He did good this year there.

 

[Meaney77]

Jim did your cars show up yet?

 

[bonesfab]

Well good news is one car showed up.

 

[monkeyswrench]

Maybe the "Tow Camel" broke down?

I hope cars don't get mixed up like luggage.
"We're sorry sir, but your 409 Bubble Top was accidently sent to Rhode Island, and not Riyadh. We're sorry for any inconvenience."

That is one of the sweetest looking Camaro I have ever seen. WOW is all I can say. Good luck and I hope it sells for double what you want for it.
