Car show lakeland FL 10/20/12

[YY1]

Not nearly as big a turnout as last year, but still LOTS of nice cars.

Didn't take as many pics, either.

My "best of show" award goes to this super clean and very well optioned 68 Dart GTS.

Factory 4 speed a/c. Buildsheet was displayed on windshield.

GTX was in car corral for 36K. had some minor firewall issues I'd have taken care of before asking that kind of money. Nice car, though.

OK, since this is a B body site, perhaps the 70 Charger should have been best of show.

Plaque said factory curious yellow, 383 N code, 4 speed.

I'd damn sure have either one, preferably both!

The blown 69 RR was real nice, but I couldn't give BoS to a car with a blower.
66 Coronet 500 plaque said one family car bought new in Clearwater FL.
Poly 318, and kind of a stripper for a 500 model.

Many, many more, but choosing was tough for the ones that didn't immediately speak to me.
The lighting in that downtown area is always a challenge as most cars are badly backlit in the morning, and some of the arrangements just never lead to opportunity for a good shot.

GREAT cars down there. Wow! Loved the Porsche 908/3;ran at the Targa Florio in 1970 and maybe '71. For me;a "Klondike Bar" racecar. I might do shameful things for a chance to drive that.

The Lake Mirror Classic is a beautiful venue. I usually make this show but not this year. Thanks for the pics. Same weekend as Fall Fling this year. It was cool to see those German cars go into the lake. (Amphicars?
