Irvine Cars and Coffee Sightings: May 3, 2014

Here we have one of the later Dodge Darts, which shares sheetmetal (and a lot of other parts) with the Plymouth Duster.  This one is a Demon 340 and, yes, it had a four-speed.  The 340 was a high revving, often underrated engine, so this car is probably a blast.

Here’s another shot with the cool decals.  The Oklahoma State color combo won points with me and the hood suggests it might have one of the higher-rated inductions systems, though it didn’t say “Six Pack.”  Honestly, I’m not sure what was still around with this body style.

I followed the Shelby GT350H into the lot today, but was admiring the brown and tan Beetle.

This rather beat up Lincoln Mark VIII was inexplicably parked in the ‘premium’ area.

This is one of a great many 80s “recreation” cars – in this case a Spartan.  Underneath is a 300ZX (Z31).

If you didn’t believe this was once a Z, check out the completely in tact Nissan interior.

This was the Oddimotive 1970 Mustang Grande’s first Cars and Coffee and, yes, it’s parked next to my Father-in-law’s Model A Woody!  Shockingly, I had the only Grande present…
