Rezvani Beast
Few cars draw a crowd like the Rezvani Beast.
Welcome
Welcome
An incredible turnout for the March show. We were thrilled to see so many different cars and so many new faces. Even with Daylight Saving landing that morning, the community showed up for the show and the local businesses — and we managed to dodge the rain.
Thank you to everyone who came out. We’re excited for the next one, and we’re hoping to open up more spaces for more cars soon. We’ll keep you posted.
Next up is the April show, on the second Sunday of the month as always.
Next show
Sunday, April 13 · 9–11 AM
Mercantile West, in front of Oslo Coffee Co.
Cars allowed in starting 8:30 AM — arrive early to secure a space.

Standouts from the March show

By the numbers
Based on the C8 Corvette, the Beast packs a mid-mounted 1,000-hp twin-turbo 6.2L V8 — 0–60 in 2.5 seconds, a 9.6-second quarter mile, and production limited to just 20 examples.
-
Mazda MX-5 Miata
A pristine Mazda MX-5 Miata — timeless on the outside, with a surprise underneath.
Did you know?
Introduced in 1990 as Japan's answer to the lightweight British roadsters, this example has been tastefully modified with an aftermarket supercharger on its 1.8-litre four — though you'd never know it from the spotless exterior.
-
Porsche 356 SC
A lovely Porsche 356 SC, the car that started Porsche's road-car story.
Did you know?
The 356 was created by Ferry Porsche. Like its cousin the VW Beetle, it's a four-cylinder, air-cooled, rear-engine, rear-drive car — though its chassis and body were an all-new design.
-
Ford Bronco
A first-generation Ford Bronco brought classic boxy charm.
Did you know?
The first-gen Bronco offered a 302 cubic inch V8 and ran from 1966 through 1977. Every Bronco since — right up to the newest generation — has kept that short wheelbase and distinctive boxy styling.
March 2025 car of the month
1970 Mercedes-Benz 580SL
Owned by Glen Zerby
“Hey Dad, what if that pretty little car had an engine like I've got in this 'Vette?”
In the summer of 1970 I was a 25-year-old single aerospace engineer and the owner of a beautiful yellow 1966 Corvette (of course). I was temporarily unemployed, and my dad came out from Ohio for a vacation. We drove my Corvette all around California.
The Mercedes sports car of that time was the 280SL, and every time we saw one we admired the clean lines of that design. But the 280SL’s engine was a 2.8-litre inline-six putting out only 180 hp, which didn’t seem adequate compared to the power in my Corvette. So I said, “Hey Dad, what if that pretty little car had an engine like I’ve got in this ‘Vette?”
I finally got the chance to make it happen starting in 1988, with the purchase of a thoroughly worn-out 280SL. It was originally going to be just an engine and transmission swap, but as the project moved slowly along it evolved into the current resto-mod. Along the way I’ve rebuilt that 350 small-block Chevy three times — and somehow it gained another 100 hp with every rebuild.
