Big Bear City, CA Fun Run August 14, 1999
August is a great month
to visit Big Bear City. Mountain air, moderate days and cool nites.
Speaking of cool! the Fun Run also brings a 500 car hot rod, classic and
antique car show covering most of downtown. This year 3 Sunbeams
entered including Rick and Bonnie Mueller's 67 Mk1A "Tiger Blue" and Mark
Theroux's white "Brutus". Brutus is running in a new Ford MotorSport
crate 302. Bob Shields of Los Alamitos brought his fabulous restoration
also in white. This car was a rough Alpine conversion before Bob
started the long process of improvement and custom features. If you
get a chance to see this car, take a good look. Detail work is high
quality and Bob did some things which others may ultimately copy.
One example is the cross member. Not just modified but swedish from
a volvo. Bob also increased the engine setback two inches more than
a Tiger.
Darrell and Sharon Mountjoy
of CAT took home a popular vote award in their Cobra.
