While on vacation in Phoenix for Spring Training, I checked out the amazing Pavilions car show in Scottsdale. Immediately when I pulled into the parking lot, I spotted and parked next to this:

1987 or 1988 early '88 with Recaros.
My babies are covered, in temperture controlled secure storage & covered with car covers. In about a month they well emerge to go
for a ride (1 ar a time) and share the road with the peasants.
It's a nice place & close by. The owner is very nice to everyone. _________________ Sandy passed away in 2012. He will be forever missed.

He has a GT rear bumper on that car....and the mudflaps. At least it's period correct!
Any idea what he has mounted to the windshield header? _________________ 1988 ASC McLaren #709 |

Too bad I didn't know you would be in the area! Lot's to se and do here. Was there a dash plaque?
Had my '89 out all day yesterday and today. Went to a private car museum in Chandler. He has Carroll Shelby's 1965 cobra big block and many, many others of all makes.

asc709, you are good ! That wrong rear bumper cover totally escaped me. Right you are ! BTW, my Mother was born/raised in El Paso, Tx.
See all those fancy homes going up the big mountains ? Her brother built 90% of them, like some 50 years ago. No I was never there,,,,Mom came "east" to N.J. in 1940. Went back for a look see in 1983. _________________ Sandy passed away in 2012. He will be forever missed.

Ah yes, the houses on Rim road. They are impressive. I will have to get some pics of my car with those houses as a backdrop sometime. Have you ever seen them? _________________ 1988 ASC McLaren #709 |

No, I have never seen them. I met him only 3 times, when he came to Jersey to visit. He was a good guy, a nice man, that made tons of money and blew most of it on cars, flashy clothes, jewery, vacations, etc.
Somewhere up there is the A + P supermarket executive estate, or so I was told. I have never been ther. Mom went back in 1983, to attend his funeral. Shhe had become a Jersey-ite and didn't care too much for Texas any longer. My Dad & I stayed home, I recall and ate Hot Dogs every night until we were barking!! _________________ Sandy passed away in 2012. He will be forever missed.
