Speed, power, and good looking cars&#8230; that&#8217;s what it&#8217;s all about! And that&#8217;s why we&#8217;re excited to be hosting the California Muscle Car Consortium at our show on Sunday, April 14th!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The California Muscle Car Consortium is an association of several muscle car groups from Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and Central California. It started with a few friends who shared a passion for muscle cars, and then grew as they met more like-minded guys at various car events. By &#8220;like-minded&#8221;, we mean high performance oriented guys with a love for big motors, big cams, high compression, and superchargers! (Check out <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Torque Works (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/torqueworks\/\" target=\"_blank\">Torque Works<\/a><\/strong>, members of the Consortium out of Bakersfield, Calif.,  to get an idea of what we&#8217;re talking about.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LA BIG BLOCKS AND THE BAY LS CHEVELLES LOOSE ON THE STREETS\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ocn0OTdW3HU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Some footage from June, 2018. Skip to 1:12 to see the Consortium&#8217;s line-up at the Pomona Swap Meet last summer!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the guys do all of the work on their cars, from building motors to paint and body. These cars never go to a shop! They&#8217;re garage built, with the blood, sweat, and toil of the owners and friends in the Consortium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it gets even better&#8230; because even though these cars are putting out 500-800 hp, the guys drive them everywhere. These cars are all streetable, very reliable, and they get driven a lot! Guys in the Consortium put a ton of money and time into their cars, and they are going to enjoy them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
