COPPERSTATE 1000 ROAD RALLY

COPPERSTATE 1000 ROAD RALLY started at Tempe Diablo Stadium early this morning. The sun was bright and the weather warm. Everyone was smiling and picking out their favorite car as we meandered around the ballfield checking out all of the amazing automobiles.















Okay - here is our favorite auto in the show. 1964 COBRA!! First year!!! And, yes this car is traveling in the road rally. This guy from Wisconsin found the car in a barn and there was an old truck "hanging", yes I did say hanging, from chains over the car. Wild yes???





Now the story goes that he bought this car for $450K and then added $20K to get it running. Unbelieveable no????

Well anyway, it is a true survivor and we loved that it was in the rally. Nothing like a COBRA SURVIVOR to make you smile.






The minis were there. Everyone just loves the minis - especially children as they relate them to cartoons. Me too!



















This was the coolest thing! This car owner must love the skull theme - there was of course the classic skull gear shifter - but with a way cooler skull than I've seen before. Loved the skull smoking the cigar! And then we looked under the hood and there is a skull floating in the gas filter! AWESOME!!!!
