Hello fellow Opponauts!
Today was yet another gathering at the Steel Stacks in Bethlehem PA for the Lehigh Valley Cars and Coffee. They had more room this time around, which was necessary because it was PACKED! We had cars lining the sides of the lot and spilling over into the other one, it was the biggest turnout I've witnessed for sure. Lots of cool cars this time, lots of cars I don't give two shits about "hellaswag bro!", so lets get to the pictures.
(forgive me if I tag some of these cars wrong, I am not as cultured in the euro and import world as I am with domestics)
(2003 Marauder with a Vortech and built motor)
(AE86! This reminded me of playing Gran Turismo 3, very clean car)
(Legacy GT, it was a manual so maybe it was a B-spec? Either way it was my favorite scoobaru there)
(One of a few NSX's)
(GTO with a magnuson supercharger)
(Clean SRT8 charger)
(Challenger R/T next to a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! )
(Testarossa, the lot was so full he had to go back to the other lot)
(07-09 GT500 next to a 10-12 GT500)
(Olds 442!)
(Clean Audi S4)
(one of two E type Jaaaaag's at the meet)
(Clean Porsche, I believe this is a 356?)
(clean galaxie 500)
(nice old le mans, I liked that this meet had more classics to dilute the pool of subarus and VW's that are usually there. We haven't even gotten to the really off the wall shit yet!)
(Very clean silvia)
(Focus ST, Focus ST, hellaswag stance honda *insert eyeroll*, bonneville? wtf?)
(Exotics parking, I noticed they had two mustangs parked up there, one was a roush and one was a saleen. I'm sorry, my marauder and my friends blue marauder are a hell of a lot more "exotic" and "rare" (most certainly more rare) than any type of mustang or corvette. I think at least one of us should be up there! They even had an over the top 300C parked up there with LED halo headlights, come on now.)
(Beautiful old M5)
(You can eat off this engine!)
(The car only had 68,000 miles on it, and it was in spectacular shape. Props to the owner for keeping this car original and mint!)
(Because we all love wagons, Audi S4 wagon. The first time I came here I had a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! follow me into the meet)
(Clean RX7, I am not sure if it was LS swapped or still a rotary)
(Okay then subaru wagon)
(I hope I don't have to point out this one for anyone. It was very nice though, very small car to)
(280Z with a SR20 swap)
(Love me some Lightning!)
(Old hudson, what a cool car this was!)
(this car was fully restored and he had some work done to it. I'm willing to bet that header was custom built, I don't think you can open up the jegs catalog and pick out "long tube header for hudson")
(Just over 6000 miles on the resto)
(This was on the dash of the hudson. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this device so you can view traffic lights that are right above the car, say if you are first in line at an intersection?)
(LS Swapped RX-7)
(All original celica supra)
(Oh just an average miata... wait why does it say lexus?)
(Oh, well ain't that some shit! Props to the owner for not doing the typical LSx or SBF swap in a miata)
(Old T-bucket, very cool car)
(clean looking cobra)
(Oh shit, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ! VW bug and bus)
(Saleen N2O focus next to a focus ST)
(alfa romeo)
(SRT6 Crossfire)
(I saw this Saab 900 turbo and knew I had to get pics for this post, thankfully this one hasn't been set on fire for any music videos)
(Not one, but TWO nsxes... nsx's? NSEXES, there we go)
(Are they unsafe at this speed? Two corvairs)
(Remember when I said off the wall shit? How about a tucker!)
(I guess his space in the exotic area was taken up by a 300C)
(Best exotic ever made IMO, Ford GT)
(602CI, turbocharged 4th gen Camaro SS, this car sounded brutal when it started up)
(Viper GTS, favorite gen viper)
(clean old four eye fox)
(Quite a few of these TT RS's at the show)
(This one took me a second, not only have I never seen one in person, but I never thought I'd see on in person. Thanks to top gear, I remembered that this car was none other than the Ford Anglia!)
(old school audi quattro)
(Very nice Integra Type R, its always amazing to see one of these in complete, unmolested, mint and not stolen or and stripped condition! This is the first one I've seen with the JDM front end in person)
(Here is where my group was hiding, parked with a few other domestics in the area)
(friends 95 marquis LS with some suspension bits done to it)
(friends 03 marauder)
(Me! 2004 Marauder with a polished Eaton M112 supercharger)
(and rounding it all off, another friends 03 marauder with a vortech, built engine and lots of suspension goodies)
(clean cobra, I think it was a 98 but I'm not to sure. I love the BBS RK's)
(mint and factory fresh 93 cobra)
Now onto the exotics section
(Saleen Speedlab)
(Something about this roush feels off, I am thinking its the blower, that is not a roush blower it looks like a regular M90. Maybe it came off of a 2v roush or something? I don't know, but !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I hope for the sake of the exotics parking area, this was a real roush)
(This GT3 sounded awesome when it started up)
(The other E type Jaaaaag)
(remember when engines used to look cool?)
(looks great in black to)
(SMS Challenger, for those of you who don't know, SMS was started by Steve Saleen long after he left the original Saleen company. When Saleen went bankrupt, he bought out the company)
(This cool ass TR7)
(Very clean swap!)
(427 cobra)
(289 cobra)
(Mostly stock supra, this was some kind of anniversary edition. As far as I can tell it only had a catback on it)
(fire hazard)
(another GTS)
(New lotus evora)
and thats it! Thats the majority of the pictures I took. I'll have another photo dump next month after the next meet!

Lots of very cool stuff. It was especially cool to see a lot of the super uncommon Japanese cars in mostly stock form, as to modified like they usually are.

Love that Miata with a 1UZ swap. Looks nicely done and its time period correct.

I found one for sale somewhat locally two years ago with around 25,000 miles on it, it was, as you could imagine, in brand new shape. The sales guy greeted me and my friend when we walked in and I said "well to be honest, I saw this car on the net and had to come see it in person" and he laughed and said "I understand, have at it!"
I'm not a honda guy at all, but I know a clean ITR when I see one!

That car threw me a bit, at first glance I thought it was just an old miata until I saw the lexus plate. I am not sure what made him want to put a lexus V8 in a mazda but its certainly very unique in that aspect.

There were a LOT of ST's at this meet, this car is becoming popular for sure, and its no secret why.

I'll give him points for something different, not another LS swap. Also I used to have a SC400 with that engine, and, my oh my was it good.

yeah I turned around right when I heard that thing start up, I wish I could get my car to have a nasty idle like that but mod motors just don't have bass.
I'll keep an eye out for it at the next meet for the next pic dump

Thanks Man, those maruaders where nice cars, and even though you dont got a nasty idle, i'm really jealous of that blower you got!

those maruaders are honestly a huge definition of sleeper, they look just like crown vics which really draws no attention... it was a clean ride though and my ford buddy loves the idea of sleeper marauders!

its such a sleeper that most people there think its just a cop car on shiny rims. I just shake my head and laugh as they make their way back to their illest swagmobiles.
I posted this up on oppo earlier in the week

Me brother an I are Preston Tucker's Great Grandsons and we brought the Tucker and the 1963 Beetle next to it. The Tucker is an Ida Automotive Tucker made to be the pull car for the Gyronaut X-1 Worlds Fastest motorcycle from the mid 1960's - check it out on Gyronautx1.com or find us on facebook at Ron Ida Concepts & Preston Tucker LLC. It was our first time to Cars & Coffee in Bethlehem but wont be our last!

I've seen a lot of those cars at past meets so I stuck to the ones I hadn't seen before. Plus I hate having to fight people out of the way just to get a pic! lol

All stock for now. I do plan on doing an intake, pulley, and tune over the winter which should give it a nice little bump in power.

I actually know the guy that owns that, he works for my dad. Why he chose a Lexus V8? Not sure but it's pretty cool! Quick as you might imagine as well.
