Who won Pro-Touring class

[jeff s]

at Autorama?
The black and silver 67 Chevelle with the twin turbo ZR1 engine and corvette suspension.
Poison Dart got 2nd.
Poison Dart did win Best Electronic Display thanks to Murray Pfaff who designed and built the display.
It had different hand carved vodoo heads on each corner with flames coming out of them. Here's a shot:

Is the black and silver car that nice Jeff? Looks kiler in pics. Did not know they had a Pro Touring class. Was your name on Poison Dart?

[Roger Poirier]

It is my opinion that feature 8 cars are pretty much equal. I believe its what ever floats your boat thats wins the Riddler. The pro touring class is subjective also. However, there were a few that stood above the rest. This car being one of them.

You have to remember this show is about how much money you spend and how outrageous you can make the car. Not which one is the best engineered or most practical to drive.

The owners sign said that Imagine Motorsports built the car, which throw me. Wasn't it even on Rides at Jeff's shot??? I also saw the car at St. Ignae last year in the Dodge tent. I'm sure it had Jeff's name on it there.

I met him on the Power Tour, great guy and he has the talent to build some stellar machines in the Midwest. After seeing the car and the amount of subtle modifications that went into the car that are seamless to others passing buy, this guy has it going on. Compare the Poison Dart to a stocker....big difference, great execution.

Jeff Schwartz served as the primary sub-contractor on Poison Dart.

Did anyone get a picture of the 66 Corvette that was Copper and had a 555 BB Donvan Chevy there? The car was pretty awesome and I did'nt have my camera. The Brakes were C5 Fronts all the way around.

I just got this email from Imagine. So I guess Poison Dart did win the pro-touring segment after all. Congratulations Jeff and everyone involved.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Detroit, Michigan - The Poison Dart, a radical 1970 Dart Swinger, built by
Imagine Motorsports and owned by Richard "The Bird" Wies, earned top honors at one of the world's largest indoor automotive events - The Detroit Autorama this past weekend. The Poison Dart was chosen from a field of nearly 50 of the country's best pro-touring hot rods to take home hardware in the Pro Touring competition. The Dart also won top honors in the overall display category. The Poison Dart and its display was chosen from a field of nearly 1000 automotive enthusiasts including the "Great 8" - the top eight custom-built cars in the world competing for the coveted Ridler award.

The Poison Dart display was designed and created by noted automotive designer Murray Pfaff of Pfaff Digital Renderings and Design. Murray has been an integral part of the Poison Dart project from its inception and he continues to lend his creative talents beyond his detailed drawings and concepts. His award winning designs have been featured on dozens of custom car projects and his work has appeared on TV and in magazines around the globe. In the coming days, Pfaff and Imagine Motorsports will be teaming up again for a state-of-the-art custom Ford project called Bulletproof. Watch

car belongs to Jack jenkins in S. C. He had a 55 Red Chevy 2 door post that was at a lot of Goodguys shows a couple years ago..He had a mid year vette with a ZR1 engine in it about 5 or 6 years ago..He ran it in the 1 lap..he sold it at Barrett jackson in West Palm a few years ago..He still has the 55..It was built by a guy in S. C. also..can't remember his name..He built the 55 also..nice guy..

You have to read that press release closely, "took home hardware" means 2nd in pro-touring class. It did win best electronic display.
Here's a link to the truth on where the car was subcontracted, click on the TV logo.

At that time Imagine's owner was "imagining" that he had a shop, much less fabricators.

The Chevelle is slick, looks very well layed out and exceptionally executed.
