Did You See Anything Good Today? 'Event and Showroom Edition'

[Downhill Dino]

Cars and Coffee today!

Gremlin

Cleanest Gremlin I've ever seen. 👍

Shelby Charger, how many of these do you see around?

Cleanest one of these I've ever seen as well. 👍 How odd for how many versions of this there are. Yet by themselves so rare.

 

[cmbeal317]

If I'm correct, that was at the Lehigh Valley C&C? I was reading about them starting that today on Ferrari Chat, and from what I was reading the CGT owner just picked it up the other day! They had some more pictures of it yesterday at West Chester C&C. Hopefully the owner will signup and bring it to the Castaway Critters car show in Hershey next month!

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Indeed it was! I was only there for about 25 minutes as my dad had stuff to do but next time we'll go all day and my dad's showing one of his cars.

And I think I might be going to that, is it 'Cool cars for cats and canines' at the AACA museum?

Yep, here's a link to the FB page. There are going to be some awesome cars this year! I can't wait to see what else their going to have this year, hopefully an F40 will show up to compliment the 959.

While we're on the subject, are you planning on going to the Import and Kit Car Show in Carlisle again? Perhaps we could meet up this time if you can't make Hershey.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Thanks for that link, I didn't know a 959 was going. Perhaps I can use that to convince my dad to drive down there.

And yea, my dad's going to show his Celica AllTrac Turbo at Carlisle this year hopefully. Even of its not ready he'll show one of his Supras or something.

The 959 is part of an exhibit they have going on at the museum, they've got a whole host of awesome Porsches, including the 901 and 902(911 and 912 Prototypes).

You'll have to let me know which one he's bringing so I check it out. Last year was my first time, and I couldn't believe how many cars there were!

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Oh yea, we were planning on going to check out that Porsche exhibit on April 20th as we're going to the PCA swap meet on that same day.

And I'll let you know! That's the first time we went on a Saturday, we went I think three times before that but all on a Sunday so there wasn't much. One of the best shows of the year.

 

[Rue]

I think that white Supra and the Nismo Z are delicious. Also, that Turbo S............... DAYUM!!! Sooo rare.

 

[Madertus]

599, first i've ever seen.

Been a while since i've seen a Maranello.

For one, DAT 550!!!

For two, do you have any pics of that Maserati behind the 599 (and to the right of 550)? c:

Group of SRT10 Rams.

This looks just scary:tup:

Supra

Again, background, slightly to the right from the middle of the picture. What is that mighty oldie?

M6

Background, that thingie to the left of Voyager?

Finally - Boxster in the background. Camaro to the right. Something blue to the right of it?

That's one hell of a set!👍

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Background, that thingie to the left of Voyager?

That's a Pontiac Fiero! And, at least externally, has not been molested!

Also, not that it matters, but that's a Chrysler Town and Country, not a Plymouth Voyager. (same thing, basically)

 

[1stlsx]

Fox body Mustang

 

[ilikewaffles11]

My friend told me they are planning on holding them every three weeks. Plus next time ill be there for longer than 20 minutes.

And I honestly don't know what that blue oldie is, some sort of Chevy I think. And I don't have any pictures of the Maserati GranSport.

And I think that's the first Turbo S I've ever seen, of any generation.

Would be awesome if someone could get decent pics of ALL of those Porsches! That's a pretty fascinating selection.

[xXKingJoshXx]

That matte black Viper, want!

Also, I think your ?????? is a Ford of some sort, maybe a Torino? Slashfan or Cano would probably know better, though.

Looked like a good show! I like that Ford GT and ZR1!

The show was pretty good, probably over 750 cars there, but battery in the Camera wasn't charged so I didn't take all the pics I wanted.

The drive to the show with the GM guys was much more fun then the show itself. couple dozen 500+ hp street cars playing fly by for 20 minutes 👍

Looks like an XC Ford (AU) Falcon Hardtop to me. 👍

I'm fairly certain it is looking at the back of the car.

EDIT: I'd guess later than '76, more around '78-9.

 

[Antonisbob]

The light blue car, It's a most likely a '76 Ford Falcon XC (Look at the grill). - Like the Mad Max Pursuit Special.

 

[GregTheStig]

From my trip to The Henry Ford Museum a while back (I'm lazy when it comes to uploading photos )

A Tucker '48 a.k.a. "Torpedo"! I've been waiting a very long time to see one of these. Only 51 ever made because of a political 🤬 storm and stuff.

1962 Ford Mustang I concept. Another car I've been wanting to see...

Plus the first Ford Mustang ever sold

I've got a bunch more photos of cars I don't even know, but it'll be a while before more are up. Like I said, lazy

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Loving the headlights on that Tucker!

 

[FordMKIVJ5]

Moar!

Hope you got some pics of J5.

I'm 99% sure it is a XC. Though, I'll admit I don't know my Fords that well.

Great spot 1stlsx. 👍

 

[jeffgoddin]

... what's an Australian Ford doing in San Antonio? No wonder you had no idea what it was (me neither!)

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Some dealer pics today. Some guy said I couldn't take pictures so screw him, here's what I got. Nothing THAT special.

CLK55 AMG


S4 and S5


The first 991 Carrera 4S i've seen, just delivered.


Doesn't even have the center caps on it


A 996 Carrera


An STI


Land Cruiser! FJ55 or 60 I think.


Older Cayenne GTS


4S badge


997 Carrera


Nice 997 Turbo




CL55 AMG


At a Toyota dealer

So many FRSs






This MR2 pulled in while I was walking around.


And more FRSs!


Sick of the FRSs yet?


Last one, there were two I didn't get pictures of.

 

[tronrider345]

You should go to London, 4S everywhere. I mean, everywhere.

That's a sweet MR2!

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I don't want to clog up the thread with the 150 or so pictures I took at a dealership today, so here's the link to the album on photobucket. Someone please tell me if you can see the pictures!!!

http://photobucket.com/albums/q728/xXKingJoshXx/stuff/Ray Skillman Classic Cars

Also, here's a video I made of some Ray Skillman Cobra Jets starting up and moving. Hope it works:

If you like Mustangs, this guy owns about 50 of them.

Here are some of the highlights:

426!!!!!

Another 426!!!!

Buick GSX

Has to be a replica, it just has to. It didn't say it was, though.

Edit: Also, at another dealership he owns:

All of these Mustangs are Roush Mustangs.

I thought I had a closer pic of these 3, but I couldn't find it.

Also, the new Focus ST.

 

[Saf1]

1500 and 2500cc ATVs with Sports tyres!

Now the displacement is up for debate - had a quick chat with the guy who was in the office and he said they were 150 and 250, then he changed his mind, then he changed back...he wasn;t familiar with the models. I also called a poster of a Shelby GT500 on his wall a 350 and he didn't correct me...anyways, I'm going with what's spec'd on the sheet. This was all at a small dealership (other cars were a Porsche (not a fan so didn't note) and some fairly average mid-range and low range cars.

1500

2500 rear

2500 spec

2500 mechanicals close-up

That is NOT 2.5L.

 

[Tyger]

Loving the last few posts, pure car porn, that Falcon is kinda bizarre looking, the rear section looks like an older Chevelle or Nova, the front almost like a Capri, very cool. Incidentally, the Lotus is an "Esprit" not "Espirit", it's pronounced "Espree" though is French for "Spirit" so you're kinda right

You should go to London, 4S everywhere. I mean, everywhere.

That's a sweet MR2!

I've found that with this and the "other" thread, it's surprising how many premium BMWs, Audis and Porsches come up as many of them are very common in the UK, though as I've said before, these threads are all about context and they are clearly more scarce elsewhere.

And as for the MR2, 1st and 2nd series are very quickly securing classic status, used to see a lot of them but much less so now and they really stand out

 

[ilikewaffles11]

While a Carrera 4S isn't THAT rare around here, that is the first 991 4S I've seen. I'd still consider a 996 or 997 4S a good spot though. Maybe it's just me. Though I take pictures of pretty much any Porsche I see except maybe older Boxsters and Cayennes. (Except Turbos and GTSs)
