It’s back! The second Fuelfed Quarterly Reserve at Vizcaya Village is April 2nd! On Sunday April 2nd from 8-10am Fuelfed South Florida will host our second gathering at the Vizcaya Farmers Market thanks to our partnership with Vizcaya Village Museum and Gardens. The gathering is designed for classic south Florida European car collectors and serious enthusiasts. The Historic Garage Courtyard available for a display of curated cars. Space is quite limited. To have your vehicle considered for this special display, your European classic must be older than 1995, and you must complete the registration form by 3/30/23. Please note: Cars selected for the courtyard display will be subject to a $25 fee.
So this morning we traveled way past Blackhawk Farms to visit one of our select Fuelfed partners for a private shop tour. John and the @sportandspecialty crew can handle any restoration from soup to nuts with a bend towards British, Italian and German. It’s always enlightening to see what they have cooking and it’s a given that it’s executed with surgical precision.
It felt good to be back The Last Detail with the 10th annual Fuelfed Parts & Memorabilia event. 32 vendors and over 600 attendees made it through Saturday morning. So good to see everyone after a few months of winter dullness. Lots of wheeling and dealing happened and we’re seeing a change in what sells and what doesn’t. Each year we tweak our recommendations to our vendors so everyone is happy. As always these large events would not be possible with out the great support of our volunteers who put their time in to do what ever it takes to get tasks done. Thank you to all of them.
Our 8th annual Fuelfed Motorgearo has been sold out since January. We’ve worked hard to create a unique experience that caters to vintage European cars and their owners. From the curated routes of varying terrain, to culinary exploration of bespoke local eateries, the camaraderie is at peak levels during our 3 day experience, placing the Motorgearo at the top of the vintage rally scene.
We are just a week out from our 10th annual Fuelfed Parts & Petroliana Event.
We are very excited for this years’ vendors. From Automodello and their insane model cars to Liverpool Motorworks and coming all the way from Pennsylvania with their high-end vintage tool tools and rally lighting. Four slots of Ferrari literature, parts, etc. Tons of Porsche signage and 911 parts to vintage posters and tools.
Motorcultura will be there with Three Pedal Bourbon, Canaffeine coffee, Motorivet driving gloves, aluminum signs and Fuelfed t-shirts.
Least we not forget what Tom and The Last Detail have on display.
The Fuelfed Buckeyes & Bourbon Rally takes the bespoke approach that Fuelfed is known for in rallying and expands to a new elevated format. First, we escape the long cold Midwest winter for warmer climates to explore the uncrowded and lush rolling roads only the western Appliachan range can provide.
Second, we’ve secured two unique accommodations rarely available for a relaxing multi-night stay. Dining & cocktails…what is a Fuelfed rally with out unique culinary & cocktail experiences? Buckeyes & Bourbon provides 5 days and 1500 miles of incredible driving with safely sampling the historic distilleries of Kentucky.
Finally, we are curating just 15 vehicles manufactured prior to 2000 to ensure a great mix of classics. All roads, accommodations and venues are well vetted by experienced Fuelfed rally organizers.
Here’s one from a Fuelfed member who’s well known in the Euro-classic scene. All his builds and daily’s are to extremely high order and this Mercedes SL is no different.

Wow! What a great turnout for the Fallen Leaf Drive this morning. Our members are not afraid to drive their classics in wintery conditions. Honoring our motoring heritage and the US military who used our route today for over 150 years.
