Revving Up Yamba

Hot Rods Hit Yamba This Saturday!

Each November, the sleepy seaside town of Yamba turns into a vibrant hub of chrome, horsepower, and nostalgia as hot rod enthusiasts from across the East Coast roar into town for the annual Yamba Rod Run. This Saturday, Ford Park will come alive with a dazzling display of restored classic and modern rods, bringing a unique twist to Yamba’s laid-back vibe.

Imagine the beachside streets lined with shimmering, custom-painted classics, sleek vintage rides, and retro gems that gleam like jewels in the sun. These rolling works of art offer everything from low-slung bodies and whitewall tires to roaring V8s and pristine leather interiors—eye candy for anyone who appreciates a touch of old-school flair.

Starting with the lineup at Ford Park, this is your chance to get up close and personal with these spectacular machines and meet the proud owners who make it all happen. Many are keen to share the story behind their vehicle or offer a few insider tips on building, restoring, or just keeping a hot rod in top condition.

The excitement doesn’t end there—after lunch, follow the convoy of classics to the Blue Dolphin for an afternoon of good vibes, friendly chatter, and more incredible rides.
