    Well I think it's a late 70s Toyota with cheesy aftermarket wheel covers and an ill-advised vinyl roo... Corolla? Corona?

    Not a Corolla or Corona, though it is a Toyota.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    Toyota Crown?

    something you really do not want to put into the tire wall.

    Not a Crown. Hint: closely related to the Corolla and only imported from 1972-73.

    Is it just me or does that new Bimmer appear to be 22 feet long?

    I think it's just low and seems that way. The driver's head looks HUGE, so that greenhouse is sort of "chopped".

    Toyota Carina? That name just popped up, can't say why...
  • lemkolemko Member Posts: 15,261
    Ding-ding-ding! We have a winner! It's a 1973 Toyota Carina. The Carina was only imported two years 1972 - 1973.

    Put the URL inside the quotes. But...must be hosted by a site that doesn't block hot links.

    Another way....

    First upload your photo on a hosting site, like flickr.com, photbucket.com or tinypic.com. Grab the link (the http URL) and copy it to your clipboard.

    Then start a new post, click the IMG button, paste the link, then click the IMG button again to close the code.

    The IMG button shows up below the posting box, just above the emotorcons.

    You're a little off on the MY. It's a 1959 or '60 Ferrari 250GT SWB/Competizione (Short Wheel Base-Racing) that was raced by Sir Stirling Moss at the Goodwood Tourist Trophy race in 1960. Moss won the race and lapped the entire field.

    The turn of the 60s was the last era when you could win a major sports car event driving street legal machinery. Stirling was listening to the radio during the race according to legend.

    What an odd ball. The wheels look Datsun-esque, circa mid 70s.

    I think you got it, I found a 1959 Abarth Zagato 750 that looks like it:

    And those wheels look Campagnolo to me...

    And I was still not quite right, it's a
    "1960 Abarth Record 1000 Bialbero"

    It can be yours for the bargain price of $125,000. :surprise:

    See those EVERY day...
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    That's right Texases. I think the wheels are Abarth Elektrons.

    Why would an Abarth 1000 clearly say 750 on the trunk?
  • texasestexases Member Posts: 11,125
    That's a pic of a different, but similar, Abarth. I thought it was a match, but it wasn't...

    $125K is a good price for it, if it's correct, real, not a ferrous oxide experiment, etc etc.

    Ford Falcon, I'll guess '64?
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    You have the right idea Juice. It is a Ford Falcon but it's quite different from the US-spec '64 Falcon.

    Before Graham chimes in, is it Ozzie spec?
  • robr2robr2 Member Posts: 8,805
    Based on the shape of the plate and that steering wheel on the wrong side, it's an Aussie Falcon.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670
    Yup, it's the Oz version of the Ford Falcon (XM), not sure of the year but I suspect circa '64-65. Perhaps Graham can fill us in.

    G'day

    You are correct. It is a 1964 or 1965 XM series Falcon Hardtop. There were two trim levels, Falcon Deluxe and Falcon Futura (marginally fancier). This one is obviously non-original (paint and wheels) but looks pretty neat. There are a surprising number still on the roads and they age pretty well.

    The Falcon has been a continuous Ford product in Australia from September 1960 to the present day, selling most of that time as the second most popular car in the country. However falling sales have now endangered the Falcon and it is likely to cease production in the next year or two. It is routinely used as a taxi.

    Originally a pretty straight lift from the US Falcon, it diverged further and further away from about 1970. The mainstay motor has been a series of straight sixes, but other Ford engines, notably the Windsor 351, have been used. Falcons were raced extensively.

    Now for the real test; what is the car beside it?

    Cheers

    Graham

    Some sort of Holden I'll bet.

    It's a Plymouth Scamp GT or a Dodge Rampage GT.

    yes a GT. Looks like we've have to split the prize here. :P

    Here's another somewhat obscure model: (I tried to make this photo as difficult and annoying as possible).

    That windshield looks very Chevy/GMC, Id say a mid-80s Chevy K5 Blazer.

    Was there a Power Wagon of that model? Around 1978 I guess.
