Got my car in its' first show this weekend - Cooly on the Rocks, right on the beach in Coolangatta.
It was an early start, tons of condensation on the car as I parked it outside overnight, but the sun soon came up.
A sea of cars, great location, not many Mopars but it's early yet (not even 9am here). Caution, lots of photos of non-Mopars, but some great cars nevertheless. I'll post some more photos later today if some more Mopars arrive.

It's really not a bad place to be on a Saturday morning. No Teslas in sight.

66 Sat, thanks for pics. I noticed several cars with right hand drive set up. Are they imported that way or is that something that's done by the owners? The dark red Barracuda towards the end of the pics seems to be right hand drive and I was wondering if Plymouth exported them that way.
Always wanted to visit Australia and your pictures certainly look inviting.

I think most of the right hand drive models have been converted, although I know the A body Barracuda was sold in factory right hand drive in the UK in at least one of the years between 1967-1969. Not sure on the E bodies, don't think so though.
Beautiful winter's day, 70°F.

Sounds like winter here in Scottsdale, However today is 106ish and next few days into the 110+. We can't for winter here. lol
 
Thanks for all of the great photos! Must cost $$$ for right hand conversion.
 
Big day before it all starts again tomorrow. They reckon there will be 120,000 visitors in total over the event.
Last bunch of pictures from this afternoon and evening, such a variety of cars but hardly any Mopars

These cars are legal to drive on the freeway! A Goggomobil.

Jenson Intercepter, don't know what engine, either a 383 or 440.
 
The lone Mopar, holding the fort at the end of the day.

Nice....I would not mind betting that there are more classic US cars in those few pics than in the whole of the UK.....Looks like a great car meet.
