    "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...

    Kaiser made Jeeps until 1970, then they were bought by AMC, which was then absorbed by Chrysler...

    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... :)

    Rover 827 coupe

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

    Opel Vivaro - I think they have just face-lifted this model, and that this is the previous version, so about 2004/6 (?)

    Looks like something based on a Lancia Aurelia cabrio
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    There were two topless Aurelias, a Convertible/Cabriolet and a Spider/Roadster. The ca. 1955 B24S (for Spider) shown has a removable top.>

    image

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

    Looks like the garbage truck is just in time. :sick:
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    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) ;) .

    So if it's a 74, I will guess that pic was taken in 77...

    Would that be the "5.0 Litre" Mustang GT?
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    Brilliant, now do you wanna tell us the approximate vintage.

  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    I'll guess...1981?
  • michaellnomichaellno Member Posts: 4,120
    Probably a '79 - the first year of the Fox based Mustangs.

    Also equipped with those dorky Michelin TRX metric sized wheels and tires.

    I'm going with 1982 - first year for the 5.0.
  • hudsonthedoghudsonthedog Member Posts: 552

    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.

    That pic is huge.

    Lemme guess, Buick? :D
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    Sorry bout that, I had no idea it would come out so big. :surprise:

    It was a '62 Buick (since delted).

    Use the width and height tags.
  • imidazol97imidazol97 Member Posts: 27,676
    >Use the width and height tags.

    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 >?

    That's it. No spaces around the = sign, and they go after the "url here" and before the closing >.

    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.
  • bumpybumpy Member Posts: 4,425
    Ack, it's too big!

    Here's a beshrunken one:

    That's correct. Earlier Mini Estates were known as Tarvelers or Countrymen.

    The original Infiniti Q45. 91?
  • Mr_ShiftrightMr_Shiftright Member Posts: 64,481
    Yes the design that sunk the car from the get-go. It has no GRILLE, and buyers hated it. Too bad, nice car.

    Probably an MG-F.

    Mid engined.

    Was hilarious to see the Hamster turn one into a limo on Top Gear.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    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.

    That and a bizarre marketing campaign that seemed to be adverts for camping. :D
  • Mr_ShiftrightMr_Shiftright Member Posts: 64,481
    Never like wood dashes in MGs. The TCs had wood but it was cheap--(you often cracked it while pulling out the starter button/cable)

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

    New ZR-1, aka King Kong, aka Blue Devil.
  • subearusubearu Member Posts: 3,613
    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.

  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    What, the Z06 wasn't fast enough? :surprise:

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

    Ferrari Dino, one of my favorite Ferraris of all time.

    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.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    Yep, the targa top version of the Dino is called the 246 GTS (for Spider),
    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.
