Bobby & Bill Clark’s 1979 Fiat 124 Spider
“Sofia”
Our nickname for the car is 'Sofia'. Her license plate is '79SOFIA'. We purchased the car in May,
1983. She was blue then and had a luggage rack on the trunk along with a lot of extra trim. We
had her painted red in 1989 and removed the rack and most of the trim pieces in order to
accentuate her neat Pininfarina style.
After years of enjoyment, we gave the car to our son - Clifford Clark of San Ramon, CA - who
had the car for 13 years during which time he lovingly restored her and modified the suspension
to lower the car a couple of inches and remove the 'high-pockets' look made necessary to meet
US standards.
Two years ago we retired and moved to Gualala. Our son decided that 'Sofia' was the perfect car
for the roads here, so he embarked on another reincarnation for her. He installed an all-new
interior and a new top. The car was again painted 'Aztec Red' and carefully reassembled. He spent
endless hours on details. The car has just 124,000 original miles on the odometer so he figured
that she was worth the effort. Once here, we had Junior Roddy (JR's Auto Service here in
Gualala) do some performance
improvements such as a much larger carburetor, modified manifolds, and ignition.
Since we are in a smog-exempt area, we also removed all of the smog gadgets. She has an ANSI
dual exhaust system and the wheels are from a 1981 Turbo Spider. This California car originally
had 80 HP but now is closer to 120.
She is fun to drive around on these curvy coastal roads. Much better that driving on the freeway.
'Sofia' was in the 2012 Show here. She placed second to a very cool 1964 Alfa 2500 Roadster. The
show is a lot of fun and we wouldn't miss it this year.
Doug Douglas’ 1936 Chevy Master Deluxe
Coupe
I have entered my Purple 1937 Ford for the past two years and won “ladies choice”
both years. We will see how I do with my new entry this year. It is a 1937 Chevy
Master Deluxe Coupe saved from a pile of rusty junk on display in a winery. As you
can see from the pictures, it has been reborn. It is a result of a collaboration of several
people and businesses in the Sacramento area. Body shop here, engine builder there,
etc. I have been adding the finishing touches in order to have it ready for the Gualala
show (which is mine and my wife’s favorite) show of the year. Now about the car:

John & MarySue Erickson’s 1963 Chevy Impala SS
I am the second owner. This is a numbers matching original car. My son and I did a
frame-off complete restoration ourselves 2 ½ years ago. We won the Grand
Marshall’s Award for the best original car at Hot August Nights in Reno in 2013.
This is a replica car of our first new car we purchased in 1963. We searched for years
to find a great car from the original owner who had left it original.
Tim Price’s 1994 Ford Ranger “PreRunner”
BAJA BROS PRO DESERT RACE
PRERUNNER
In professional desert racing, the
racecourse, usually hundreds of miles long,
is marked out weeks before the event for
racers to “pre run”. During a pre-run,
racers familiarize themselves with the race
course and mark out danger areas on the
GPS map they’ll be using during the actual
race. To do this important pre-running,
special vehicles are used called prerunners.
They are built for reliability, safety and high
-speed travel over all kinds of desert terrain. This truck is one of those vehicles,
designed and fabricated by Jake Batulis, who is now with SpaceX, a private space
transport company founded in part to colonize Mars. The Baja Bros Prerunner
started out as a 1994 4x4 Ford Ranger. In its final form it was featured in
Fourwheeler/Offroad Magazine in 2003 (
FRONT SUSPENION
