Congratulations on a great event. It was well worth the drive to see those fantastic cars.

how about some better pics of the ppg car...i remember someone acquired the yellow one and was restoring it?

First off, I would like to thank every one who thankfully participated, making the 2005 Heartland Fiero Show an outstanding and successful event. Thank You! Cars came from 8 states including IA, IL, MI, IN, WI, MN, NE, and MO. The official show registered car count was 44. I had four more show up late in the afternoon due to mechanical difficulties and was to late to enter. My "out of bounds" car count volunteer counted 18 Fieros that stopped to see the show, but did not participate. I also missed some attendance by the "Gunsul Gang" who ended up MIA; what happened to you guys??? I had a surprise bag of Taco Bell Chalupas that I had to feed to the neighborhood dogs. Fierohoho was really bummed because he really did not have anyone to make fun of.

The Village of East Davenport has invited us back again next year.

Extra Special Thanks to my sponsors: Rodney Dickman, The Fiero Store, Sinister Performance (Darth Fiero) Barjan Corporation and the merchants of the Village of East Davenport.

I had excellent local media coverage starting with the article that CoolBlue posted (Thanks Dave!) including an advertisement for the show for close to two weeks prior.

43 people came to the house for the after show celebratory Cook-Out. Most of the people stayed until almost midnight.

Darth Fiero's pictures really sum up the show and cook-out. The quality of the cars on display were outstanding. I received numerous comments on how nice the cars looked.

Here are a couple of current pics. I do not intend on restoration for a while. The car has recieved lots of cleaning and TLC physically and mechanically to make it presentable in it's original untouched form. I want to enjoy the car a little before I make it a piece of jewlery.

If you're wondering about the "GT", its an 85. And absolutely pristine. I loved that car.
