I narrowed down just a few* of the pictures I took from the show last weekend. My internet upload speed hates me, so hopefully this will work. We had a fantastic show! A great variety of cars that you never see on the road anymore, and probably even some that you forgot existed!
I’ve been trying to get these pics up for a couple days now. I took some time off of working the show to get pictures of as many cars as I could, unfortunately I didn’t have time to talk to anyone about their cars with how little time I had. (Helping to put on a car show can be a lot of volunteer hours... but the scenery is fantastic.)
Hope you enjoy!
*few is obviously a relative term.

I have so much love for all these cars but damn...cars from the 90s were SO much of an improvement. Especially coming from Japan.

Hell yeah. We had one when I was growing up... I’m always excited when I see them!
So many 80's things that you never see on the road anymore!

Only one. Trust me, I wish there were more. I was super excited to see that one show up, though!

Don’t end up kicking yourself because you missed the opportunity before they got expensive. ;) Apparently an IROC-Z sold for $20k recently.

In what ways in particular?
But these cars are getting to the are where the surviving ones are nostalgic toys. Their capabilities are still plenty fun, and the maintenance is easy and inexpensive. They’re just so ... fun! And they don’t look like 90's jellybeans. ;)

I looooooooove those Elkys, especially the quad headlight ones. This only makes me want to spend money on one to have even more cars than I should. Yours looks great. Super clean!
The one at the show wasn’t as nice on the other side. As he was leaving, he said that next year he may even wash it for the show. ;)

Mine is pretty nice and I bought it that way. 350 with a mild cam, headers, true dual exhaust, edelbrock intake and carb, new paint, working AC, bucket seats and a very nice bed cover. Was a dream car for a long time and when this one showed up I jumped on it. Still has room for improvement though, which is fun. I rebuilt the front end, all new shocks and springs, new tires and tonight I flushed the cooling system and replaced the thermostat.
This body style has always been my favorite too and it gets a lot of thumbs up. I get one offer a weekend to buy it too.
Still have a ways to go to get it perfect, which is most of the fun.

I drove the one that used to be my grandpa’s for a little while in high school. He always had one from when I remember, they will always have a place with me. Keep her looking good! I’m not surprised you get offers!

I love this show. If the cars were dirtier and rustier, it would be like visiting my high school parking lot.
