Irvine Cars and Coffee Sightings: June 14, 2014

It was a beautiful day for Cars and Coffee, so there was a huge turnout.  Arriving at 6am helped!  The Oddimotive Brown Z was in attendance, along with the Model A Woody.

Why not a classically odd vehicle right up front?  This Pinto Wagon MPG edition was parked right next to us.

Interior was pretty good, but we must assume the cheapo seat covers are hiding wear.

The next arrival, right next to the Pinto, was a matte finish Dodge Ramage (I had to check badges to make sure it wasn’t a Scamp) which has been Shelby-ized, including the turbo inline four.

The interior had the Shelby treatment, too, presumably with parts from the platform-mate Charger.

Best of all are the Subaru Brat-style seats with BMX grips!

Next up is a twin turbocharged Studebaker Hawk!

Then, there’s this 70s Toyota with a supercharged Lexus V8.

For the Microcar fans, there was a Berkeley done up in Ferrari regalia.

Later came this 1964 Honda S600.  The owner restored it and was a super-nice guy.

Yep, four little single-barrel carbs.  Redline with this 600cc I4 is about 9,500 RPM.

A very late arrival was this desert warfare Kubelwagen, complete with swastikas.

Below are numerous other interesting sightings,starting with an entry in the Land Yacht class.

Oddly-colored Fiero…

Thank God for the French – this is a Facel-designed and bodied Ford/Simca Comete.

I dug the salmon-colored Chrysler wagon.

Four-door Dart!

A Barracuda isn’t usually considered an oddity, but I love ’em, especially the rear window.
