JBA Coffee and Cars on the Mesa - #186 February 8th 2026

COFFEE & CARS ON THE MESA FEBRUARY 2026
The February Coffee and Cars on the Mesa arrived like a picture book celebrating horsepower, gleaming paint and chrome on a balmy and totally clear Southern California morning. Super Bowl plans limited affected attendance. But, for those who know, that’s a perfect time to gather with all the friends of JBA for a little automotive camaraderie, coffee & donuts. Our famous engine builder John Elderhorst ran one of his latest masterpieces on our Engine Dyno. An original 1969 Z-28 small block 302 that screamed to the tune of 348 horsepower and 453 ft.lb. of torque.
