Cars & Coffee – 4/23/11

Short and sweet write-up this week. VARA vintage racers were featured along with Alois Ruf and a few of his RUF Porsches. It was another full house in the rest of the lot too, with a lot of Fiats and Alfas on hand to welcome Fiat back to America. Although it looked the roughest from far away, a careful eye would have spotted that one of those Alfa GTs was actually a GTA, the aluminum factory hot rod.

Some classic BMWs, Mercedes and Jaguars nicely balanced the great American muscle cars from Pontiac, Buick and Chevrolet. A lot of Ferraris ended up in the auxiliary lot, as did a new 392 Hemi Challenger, a stripped out VW Cabriolet and an ex-Bondurant school Crown Vic with Audi wheels.

Major highlights included Jeff Zwart's belly-tank speedster, the Mercedes 190E 2.3-16, Citroen SM, Lynx E-Type racer, white and off-white Ferrari 458 Italias, a sweet green pro-touring Nova SS, the modded CLK Black, the big black Pontiac Catalina 421 HO, the Iron Butt BMW, TdF Ferrari Challenge Stradale with lipstick red interior and that gorgeous red Mangusta!
