Barrett Jackson, Marconi Museum, Cars and Coffee 56K, No!

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

The past week I've been in California. Typically, I had to go to as many car places as possible. Being California, they're everwhere and easy to find. Lucky the day we landed Barrett Jackson was an hour a way so we head over. A few days later we went to the Marconi Museum, which is a small collection with a lot of amazing cars. Finally we ended at the Cars and Coffee in Irvine, pretty much the top Cars and Coffee event. I'm posting a pictures from all events, in order, just to pretty much show off all the cars I've seen this week. The pictures are going to probably look bad, but that's Photobucket for you. Ask for more, or if you would like bigger ones.

Here's a tiny amount of pictures from Barrett Jackson Orange County. I didn't take as many pictures as I should of, mainly because of jet lag and being tired, lame excuse I know.

crap. I need to move.

but, of aaaaaaaaaaall the cars in Cars & Coffee
this

is the rarest and coolest of them all. What a wagon, for god's sake.

Of course followed by the 55 Chevy wagon gasser. The El Camino with GTO nose is cool. The Widebody Vette is absolutely horrid. And the barnfind GT500 made me lift my eyebrow. Can you, like, pay for a Flickr account and upload them all there in full-on size?



Well, you said we could ask away...

Awesome collection of pics!!
I appreciate the time and effort that you went to in order to upload and format that post! 👍

I have a Flickr account, but everyone of these pictures? I can upload some, but I haven't bought the Pro package yet.

Thank you. It wasn't too bad, just a lot of mistakes with car names and skipping some . It's worth it though, it's better then having 200+ pictures sitting on my hard drive for no one to see.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

Beautiful pics, thanks for posting everything.

SKN TALR

Skin Tailor? Plastic Surgeon maybe?

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Ah that makes sense. I saw him the night before in Laguna Beach, so I wouldn't doubt that possibility at all.

 

[HACKr]

Yo, that Vector is not just any Vector, it's the WX3 prototype. There is only ONE WX3 and ONE WX3R.

ORLY? That explains why it looked little different for some reason. I seem to underestimate cars a lot.

 

[Zenith]

Impressive collection indeed. What's more impressive is the fact that you had the patience to post all these pictures that we would just cross through with our middle finger on the mousewheel.

Wide-body Vette looks terrible
Cuda looks nice
Pantera looks badass
Loving the Porsches

That Shelby is really bothering me. If you look at the interior, you can see that the dash panels are aluminum plates. That's aftermarket. The paint looks new. The wheels are new. The Emblems look new. To me it looks like this guy is restoring this car in a strange order. The trunk looks ancient, so does the roof. Other parts of the car are detailed and customized to a point that I would only consider after I was completely done fixing serious issues such as, oh I dunno, RUST.

Can anyone tell me what's so great about the Cappuccino?

I had nothing better to do so I just sat down and put them up.

I'm not really sure about the Shelby, I didn't go get a better look, I just looked over and saw it looked old and assumed it was a barn find. It may be one, but he restored everything expect the body.

I just like the Cappuccino because we don't have it. Other then it's ok, but the fact it's imported made it cool.

 

[Ardius]

Cool to see one of the other 6 XJ220S's. The only other one I've seen is the yellow one which hangs about around Stoke/Cheshire area here. Each one is painted a unique colour.
The other ones I know of are a blue, a silver and a black one. So only 1 more to find!

 

[a6m5]

Nice pics, great job! A+ for having two Panteras, my first favorite exotic car. :tup:

 

[McLaren]

That's Gerald's personal car as well.

Bit surprised you didn't take a full photo of the Ultima either. Another rare car in the US.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Great shots man.

I had worked at a Ferrari shop that did all the maintenance on the Marconi cars.....its weird seeing cars that I've worked on. The black 348 Challenge is one of the Marconi's personal cars.

That 55' gasser sits in my garage btw.

I love the XJ220S. The normal XJ220 is nice, but the fog lights on th S just makes it pop out at me. As for the other ones, the car Maximillion Cooper had, is that the missing one? His is white, but always had some cazy wrap on it. I was disappointed when he sold it before this years Gumball.

Nice pics, great job! A+ for having two Panteras, my first favorite exotic car. :tup:

Thank you. I think I have one more Pantera, but it's just a rear view since it had some custom looking exhaust.

That's Gerald's personal car as well.

Gerald, not too sure who that is or if it's a joke . In all honesty I didn't take one of the Ultima because I don't really care for it. It has no appeal to me. And I saw one driving around in France a few years ago, so now when I see it at shows it's just kind of, eh.

That's pretty cool to be able to do that. I'd love to be able to look a picture of a Ferrari and now I've done something with it.

And you have that gasser? Next time I come out we should tear up Hollywood Blvd .
