1983 Gold’s Classic # 3

1983 Gold’s Classic #3 – NPC
July 23, Los Angeles

The Overall winners in Ernie Santiago and Pillow both enjoyed very successful bodybuilding careers. This is a classic contest from our archives, and has never been offered before. Due to the technology of the times, shot 40 years ago, the video is not as sharp as it could be. However it is offered for historical reasons as the only video record of this wonderful contest.
