I like to take the time to thank a few people who have helped me with SO-Cal Prowler.

1st A big heartfelt Thanks Bob Miller who took the time to go & look at the So-Cal Prowler for me in Virginia before I paid for it 2 years ago to confirm it was what it was & it's condition.
Thanks to Bob Miller's help I pulled the trigger & bought it

2nd A big heartfelt Thanks to Bob & CJ who have allowed me to pick their brains about the SO-Cal Prowler, A extra special thanks to CJ who has sent me pics, magazine articles, & her knowledge of the SO-Cal Prowler I could not have gotten anywhere else, Bob & CJ you guys are the Best!!!!!

Thank you so very much

Back when I was selling new cars, one of the most profound statements that I heard my Sales Manager say was this; "Come on people. It's an Inventory, NOT a collection!"

Had alot of snow on the ground from a Tuesday snow storm but Rained like a Mo yesterday & snow is all gone, today it was 40 degrees & snowing with white out conditions, with nothing sticking the weekend looks the same high 30 & 40.

Actually I'm going to update this, Parts of Conn got slammed with over a foot snow in the last few days & parts of Conn got nothing but rain.

Cars will be in Papas car museum for another week & half on display, I can keep mine in as long as I want, Better there than in The!!! New England Prowler Museum, (Pantera I just read your post LOL)

The Mopars in Motion car club will hold it's annual Party the night of the 27th & car will be voted on then.

I'll be posting some of the Cars in Papas collection soon

I have A question for You or Bob, One I wished I had asked you the other day when we spoke, one You might have been able to ask Pete Chapouris when you saw him.

I have extensive documentation, with the Socal Prowler to follow ownership from So-Cal Speed shop right on down the road, titles, registrations, insurance cards, service records, Etc. (this Prowler has been around the USA)

One of the insurance cards I also have is listing Holley Performance Products Inc, as being the insured, effective date 5/15/1999 to 6/30/2000, the Vin # matches with the So-Cal, I was wondering if Holley ever owned or did any work to it, to have had it insured in their name, it's the only thing relating to them in the all of paperwork???.

Anything you can come up with would be greatly appreciated, since almost all the history I have gotten on the So-Cal has come from Yourself or Bob & a little from the documents I received.

Thanks again to Bob, CJ. & Pete Chapouris for the Autographs

This will certainly really put the frosting on the cake along with all the documentation I have on the So-Cal Speed Shop Prowler for me, What more can anyone ask for than an autograph from the builder, something I will truly treasure.

All I can say is WOW!!!!, Thank You!!, Thank You!!, Thank You!!.
I have some un-resized Pics I'll be sending you for your self & to pass along to Pete Chapouris

..........................................................

I want to thank CJ for taking the time in Getting me the pics of The SO-CAL Speed Shop Prowler Autographed by it's creator Pete Chapouris at the Detroit Auto show

CJ did this for me over the weekend & I had them by this Monday (2 days) so I could display them with my Prowler at Papas Dodge.
Funny thing was I had told some people what was happening with the pics being autographed for me & they didn't believe me until I showed them the autographed pics this Monday.

What a nice addition to have with all the SO-CAL documentation I have
Thanks CJ

Right now my scanner crapped out so I'm off to by a new one & I will post the Pics CJ sent me ASAP.

Like I said earlier this really puts the frosting on the cake of my documentation of items I have related to the SO-CAL Prowler.

Bob & CJ have both been such incredible most accommodating resource's for me, always eager to share their wealth of knowledge & pics of this Prowlers history, not only before but during & after I bought this piece of Prowler history that only they could have known.

I just can't say thank you enough to the both of you.
