they do them from time to time down the street from my house, me and my son saw a bunch of classic/muscle cars driving by and decided to go see. enjoy some eye candy:

this GT40 kit car is "mama's new car" according to Dallas(the boy)

this one's amazing. it's an unrestored 69 roadrunner, the owner is the original owner! he paid $3,374.00 for it originaly!

he thinks this is Doc from "CARS"!

'73 Super Beetle! two tone import from Germany.

pardon me, do you have any grey poupon? it's a Rolls Royce, i couldnt resist!

I want to know more about that GT 40 kit car. Like where do I get one?

I think there are plenty of options out there. I remember seeing one company that could sell you the entire car unassembled for around $50K...

(digs through bookmarks)

Yup, here. But like I said I'm sure there are other cheaper options.

Yeah, but that's not a complete kit - you still need to provide some parts yourself. Still, prolly works out cheaper anyway.

Just a great looking car - one day...

I'm surprised how close they park those cars. Someone with a purse of keychain could do some serious damage.

Nice to see all that american muscle!

Those are some nice cars! Once in a while my town has a cruise night where everyone drives their special cars around town. I saw quite a few interesting ones during the last one.

Speaking of car shows, I wandered down to the Steamworks Concours this morning. Just a small show but they had a few neat things there:

Some 'rods;

Some classic Yank muscle, a Stingray and Shelby 'Stang;

Would you believe it? Another bloody Pantera;

A Chrysler New Yorker built for the Queen! (and a Bel Air two-door wagon in the background);

Some Studes;

An old Yank thing I forget the name of with some Rollers in the background;

This bizarro thing called a Talbot Mantra, which has three seats across

;

A couple of nice Dukes from the 60's & 70's;

A little FIAT Arbarth;

A nice Alfa;

A DB5;

And the star of the show for me, a Muira!

;

They timed it just right. Although the weather was typical Vancouver-trying-to-be-London, a cruise ship had just arrived, so they had plenty of gawkers!

Not a bad way to spend the morning.

WOW! Great lookin' oldies. I'm surprised with the number of euro cars over there, especially with the little Abarth. That car is small even for our standards.

...although, it's a serious racer.

I actually saw a Pantera driving right in front of me about a week ago. Quite a surprise to me, cause I seem to be the only one who actually drives their classic around here.
