"As for a Lincoln version, there wasn't one. But the Lincoln Continental (1982-1987) and Lincoln Mark VII (1984-1992) were based on the same Fox platform that was introduced on the Fairmont/Zephyr in the 1978 model year."
The 1980's version of the Mustang was also a Fox in disguise, as was that version of the Thunderbird. Ford got a lot of use from the Fox platform...
I had a KAISER Traveller when I was in SAN ANTONIO.in 1976.It was a great car.Continental 6cy engine nice chrome dash.Hatchback with spare tire located in fake rear drivers side door.I think it was a 1949 model.
close enough, it's a '74, first year for the awful rubber bumper, last year for twin SUs. R&Ts Peter Egan wrote a good column about how those old sports cars make pretty good snow cars because of their good weight distribution, quick steering and light weight (it takes only one person to push one out of a ditch) .
I'm saying 1982 as well on the Mustang. The color-keyed grille & vents were new that year. This must be a top-of-the-line model, with the barely visible Recaro seats & traction bars.
I consider 1982 to be the year that the long nightmare of automotive suckingness (at least in the US) from the 70's started to melt.
The GTI was brought over, Volvo & Saab were throwing turbos, intercoolers & 4-valve engines our way, Toyota showed up with a brilliant Supra, & engineers all over were showing that performance & efficiency were not mutually exclusive.
We've now been in a 25-year "Golden Age" of performance that eclipses the muscle-car era of the 60's. (IMHO :P )
That's an early 1970s Mini Clubman Estate. The dark years for the Mini when they facelifted it...before reverting back to the much better looking original design.
Nice dash in the way that Brit sports car dashes are with nice wood and plenty of instrumentation (I miss gauges!). It's way too fancy for an MG-B or C so it must be an MG RV8, with the Aluminum Buick/Rover V8 under the hood IIRC.
Was also referred to in rumors as the Corvette SS and Corvette Z07. Regardless of the name, this premiere bow-tie is getting a 6.2L supercharged LS9 V8. 620hp so far according to GM.

I don't think it is too far-fetched to think they might still have rights to the name...
On another note, I love International Travelalls and Scouts...

Yep, the 827 coupe was the mechanical twin to the first-gen Honda/Acura Legend Coupe.

As you know the Aurelia series pioneered the concept of the modern Gran Turismo as well as V6 power and other mechanical innovations.

Also equipped with those dorky Michelin TRX metric sized wheels and tires.
I'm going to agree with the year, but the 1979 and 1980 Mustangs were also offered with the 302, but in lower power versions.
The 1982 GT introduced this new grille with the more powerful 157hp 2bbl 302. The 1983 GT had a different snout and a 175hp 4bbl 302.
Lemme guess, Buick?
It was a '62 Buick (since delted).

Would you post the format for that if you have it. I used to use them but can't get them to work anymore.
Is it height ="300" width = "450" placed in front of the final Img tag info which is the " and >?

Here's a beshrunken one:
That's correct. Earlier Mini Estates were known as Tarvelers or Countrymen.

Mid engined.
Was hilarious to see the Hamster turn one into a limo on Top Gear.

I suppose that MG RV8 was trying to look like the dash on a Jaguar Mk II, but it's all wrong.

Yep, it's the new ZR-1 :shades:

I'm guessing based on what look through the surf to be quad exhaust pipes that it's a 246GT, maybe '73 or '74?
EDIT 8:20pm Pacific: Just noticed the Targa top, identifying this as a GTS.
it's one of my favorites too.
The reason for the motorboat act is that it's a participant in theTexas 1000 vintage car rally.
