Muscle cars galore sure to rev up your engines

The Logan City PCYC car show marked its tenth anniversary with a promise from organizer Marika Saliba to make it the biggest edition yet. Past shows have drawn more than 500 muscle cars to the grounds south of Brisbane, all part of a community fundraiser built entirely around a shared love of V8 power. Here’s what a decade of grassroots car culture looks like when it’s done right.


WE USE cars every day and they are admired by many, so it is no wonder thousands of people are expected to flock to the car show at Logan City PCYC on February 26.
This is the 10th anniversary of the show, and to celebrate, organisers promise the event will be bigger and better than before.
Logan City PCYC marketing, events and fundraising co-ordinator Marika Saliba said car enthusiasts would be very impressed with this year’s line-up.
“Each year we have more and more cars who come down on the day, and this year, we already have more than 500 booked in,†she said…

Ten years is a long time for any grassroots car show to survive, let alone thrive, and the folks behind the Logan City PCYC car show weren’t about to let their tenth anniversary pass quietly. Organizer Marika Saliba promised the biggest and best show yet for the milestone event, held every February at the PCYC grounds south of Brisbane. This isn’t some backyard cruise-in either – past editions have pulled crowds numbering in the thousands, all coming to see row after row of muscle iron parked under the Queensland sun. What does it actually take to keep a community car show growing for a full decade?

Over 500 Muscle Cars in One Parking Lot

Past editions of the show have featured more than 500 gleaming muscle cars on display – a serious number for a community-organized event, not one backed by a magazine or a manufacturer. That kind of turnout is a real sign of how deep the muscle car scene runs in the Logan and greater Brisbane area, and it takes years of word-of-mouth trust building for local owners to keep showing up with cars they’ve spent years and real money restoring.

A Fundraiser With Real Horsepower Behind It

The show is run by Logan City PCYC’s marketing, events, and fundraising team – a Police Citizens Youth Club, not a corporate event promoter – and it doubles as a genuine community fundraiser. That’s worth appreciating: some of the best-organized car culture events around aren’t run by magazines or manufacturers chasing ad dollars, they’re run by local volunteers who happen to love V8s just as much as the cause they’re raising money for.
