    Honda N600? Guy with one is asking about engine problems, seems like he's way over his head:

    It helps to have a motorcycle background. I had one of these many years ago and didn't find it too difficult to work on--but then I had a lot of experience tinkering with bikes.

    These cars can bring pretty good money when they are fixed . Hard to say what that one is worth in the photo--it needs to be examined up close and run.

    Looks like a matador in the front at Moses lake.

    In Yakima, Datsun 510 wahon (love those), in front of a late 60s nova with what resembles yenko stripes, but I doubt it really is one.

    I'll grab the '66 Chevy at the right in Spokane. I had moved from Richland to So Cal only 4 1/2 months earlier so l heard the whizz of the bullet I dodged.

    I would say $3500 is about right, barring any calamitous rust issues.

    Pretty easy to ID the brand, but isn't this a beautiful dashboard to look at every day?

    I thought our Volvo 144 had a long shift lever. Nothing compared to this.

    That'd be the interior of a MB 300S/Sc. Price today: one zillion dollars.
  • Mr_ShiftrightMr_Shiftright Member Posts: 64,481
    Nah, we could get you into a pretty nice 300S for maybe $600,000. But yeah, an Sc would be a zillion easy.

    Hi Andy. I think this is a Lamborghini Iselro. They made them circa 1968-70 and a silver Iselro was the first Lambo I saw on the road - in Dorset in about 1971.

    Should be a little something for everyone here:

    65 or 66 full sized Mercury toward left front. Man there is a lot of glare in that shot - must be sunny La La Land. B)
  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,350
    Jag XK-E coupe on the right, tailgating the Chevy. And a Toyota Corona top left that looks to be trying to get away from some domestic mastodons.

    top right is a teal Karman Ghia that looks just like the one someone has for sale from their dad.

    68 Firebird front left. I love the styling on those.

    I'll take the Beetle ... and the Beetle ... and the other Beetle ... and, oh, look, another Beetle.

    Sheesh, they were as numerous as ... cockroaches?

    (my family had two - a '62 mom and dad got before I was born and a '66 Baja Bug when I was in HS)

    Yup, that is a Lamborghini Islero with much more understated styling than is typically seen on Lambos then and now. Styling was by Mario Maruzzi, an employee of Carrozzeria Touring which went bust at the time the Islero was being styled. Maruzzi finished the design independently.

    Personally I find this type of elegant Gran Turismo styling much more attractive than the audacious looks of the Aventador/Huracan/Gallardo etc.

    At the very beginning there's a white car which looks like a Siata Spring. Also towards the end a dark Jag Mk X changes lane.
  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,350
    it just dawned on me that there was an arrow, and this was actually a video.

  • texasestexases Member Posts: 11,107
    What is that green Pontiac-ish car following the Ghia at the end?
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,415
    Yeah I should have noted it's a video. And the white car is indeed a Siata Spring - definitely an odd sight even then.

    I was thinking the car behind the Ghia at the end was some model of 68 Pontiac.
  • texasestexases Member Posts: 11,107
    I think you're right. I forgot that some '68 Pontiacs had concealed headlights.

    What took you so long? B)

    1977 Lancia Scorpion Spider per the ad. $3,550 was the last bid I saw. 77k "original" miles.

    Current bid is over 10K

    Oops, fixed. Wonder what the reserve is.

    A very generous bid indeed. This is a warmed over Fiat with 80 HP and lots of problems. Looks very clean though.

    Late 80 dodge omni Shelby GLH. I kinda liked these, but never drove one.

    Isn't that the GLHS?

    Yep, it's an '86 to be exact. I once drove a standard Plymouth Horizon and that little 1.7 generated enough torque steer to nearly rip the steering wheel from my hands. I couldn't even imagine what the more powerful Shelby GLHS versions would do... no thanks!

  • lostwrench1lostwrench1 Member Posts: 1,165
    My '87 Shelby Daytona, shown, had the elimination of a torque steer problem by having a terribly large wall to wall turning circle of 37.1 feet, with its wheelbase of only 97 inches.
  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,350
    Wrench, that is what happens when you stick fat tires in a skinny wheelwell. Our Omnis had a really tight turning radius IIRC. though also only about 165 tires!

    On that Daytona there was a space between the inside tire wall and a part of the strut which was so small I couldn't pass my small finger through.

    A lot of prewar material in that shot, I guess easier in a place not subject to as many ravages of war.

    I'll just pick off the rounded little wagon at lower right, which I believe is a Peugeot 203 break.
