Cars and Coffee Austin TX Pics 5/1

[gm4ever]

Well my father-in-law wanted to go to Cars and Coffee before going home to Dallas, since he'd never been to the meet. TWIST MY ARM! My mother-in-law kept my youngest kiddo and Misty was asleep. Away we go! My Dad came over and my father-in-law, my Dad, my oldest kiddo Eddie and I piled into the Roady wagon and headed out to Leander at 10am.

Some neat cars! Many new ones and some cool surprises.

Here we go:

Enterence to show. This shows reccomended hill-country cruising roads for after the show. Neat!


We got to the show and they had us park with the new Acuras (?). Oh well, it was a good spot right up front.




The first car I saw was this gorgeous Regal T-type. I love these. It's a Grand National and a Regal Limited mixed together. Turbo engine, suspension, boost gauge, and steering wheel mixed with pillowed leather seats. Such a neat car!






This 64 Vette was also GOREGEOUS




A buddy from work, Eddie "Fast Eddie" Reyes came out in his black Vette


This was a CLEAN C3 Vette


This new Vette was also a looker


The Z-car club was there


This is a CLEAN 74 Cheyenne Super. This guy is a regular at the Satuday Cruise-In's and when I got my new stock chrome GM air cleaner lid for my Cutlass I gave him my old one. He loves it and it looks good under there!


The 442's were out in force today




Really pretty T-Bird


Clean Corvair




Fun at the show!


Friend from my local club came out in his 80's Iroc-Z powered Nova


The Porsche club was there again

Mitch came and stole his 76 from my carport. Trans is still leaking but it did fine and got lots of attention! Looked right at home with the other classic Caddys

THIS MADE MY DAY! Laird showed up in my old Citation X-11. He's got it running great, and looking good too! He was mad though, they had him park it by the dumpster! Doh! No Respect!
I was tickled to see it there and it got a lot of attention!

I took a lot of pics of this Brazen Orange GTO for my buddy Ben that has the Sprice Red GTO in Jersey. GTO's were not offered with sunroofs, but this one has a dealer-installed Webasto power roof. Sorry for there being so many. It looked awesome. This guy was really cool, we talked for a while. Did you know of the 42,000 GTO's made between 04-06, that 17,000 have been totaled? No joke! That's wild!












The Can Am bike group showed up too

The red VW convertible is my friend's Moms car.

I saw that white T type Saturday night, neat.

I really like the 928s too.

This is my favorite pic. It looks like my Roadmonster is about to chow down on some Japanese food!

I fell in love with that Saleen 281 supercharged mustang !

That gorgeous 426 Belvedere had the keys on the seat! You should have taken it to sonic, the owner would have thought that was pretty cool.

Is it just me or do the new lotus' look like "micro-machine" ferraris? Those scoops behind the doors look like they came right off a 430. And they moved the meshed vents form the front bumper of the Ferrari to the hood of the lotus. I'm not bashing at all, I love both cars. Just pointing out the design similarities. Who owns Lotus these days? They were bought a while back by a holding company when they went bankrupt but they are still turning out cool cars so I wonder who they are using? Some of their new models look like other well known supercars. So I'm guessing an eastern company that is really good at copying designs from other manufacturers.
