93 Quasar "HILKING" on to a new owner - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

WARP TEN · 05-25-2007

Last Wednesday HILKING was picked up by its new owner from Maryland, a worthy successor and sure to be involved in ZR-1 activities. Engineer, retired Navy sub driver and most significant, (like me) a collector of post war Lionel trains. Also owns a 96 LT-4. Who could ask for a better caretaker of one of the world's greatest and rarest cars. I expect you will see it at Carlisle this summer. Thanks to all here in getting the word out on the car for me--Bob

Good Job well done!

We found out the Libertyville ZR-1 will remain in Libertyville! Griff sold it back to hiz Dad (a previous owner) and Pop's sold his Z06 as to buy back the ZR-1. Pretty kool eh?

So Pop's had the ZR-1 first--then he sold it to Griff's older brother who then sold it to Griff and finally Griff sold it back to Dad again!!!

BTW there is a small vette party at the MCHenry Dam --- We plan to announce in the event section here around July 1--

Here are links to posts on other forums till I do the one here in July--Maybe you can make it Bob?

Sure Bob if you can great--figured it would make a nice easy mini cruise for you and perhaps you have never been to the Dam before! Should be fun and I hope ZR-1 Pete and others with ZR-1's can make it! We will do the big post in the events section on July 1 on the forum here and PM the locals I know of with the link to the post---we will proly do it every year if it turns out well!
I never seem to be able to get to BG for the big event---one of these years!
