Just saw Delbert a few months ago at BB Kings in NYC great show. I was hanging out in Times Square and was outside BB's

watching his name going up on the Marque, talking to the kid working up on the ladder helping him spell Delbert's name

and he offered us tickets to get in line, we were #4 in the door. Can't get any better than that front row,  no stella but great Bullit Bourbon.

Good buy at that price even being a Choke you could not duplicate a zero miles one for that money.

I seen that auction and i thought it sold. First gen was way before that year. That car looks to be all Chinese except the engine and gearbox. You do know BC is Monte Carlo Mini don't you ? He was the importer and builder of that orange Choke.
