We have some 68 guys in the club, some are doing full resto's also. There are about 8-10 1st gen, and it covers all years.
I'm listed as 69 Blue 502.
We're having a kick off the year meeting on April 21st at MBA (Mallory Billet Alunimum)parking lot.
There are about 60 members in the club and over 30 cars are going to meet up at MBA.
I'm heading up in my 69 with the 502.
Later on in May there is going to be a Dyno day up at J&M Performance center in Manchester, and there will also be a 1/4 mile race day for our club at one of the local tracks.
Here's some links.

Thanks for the info. Don't think my Camaro will be ready for the MBA meet but maybe I'll cruise up in my Corvette.
