Of course!

And thanks Rage Racer!

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Alright then, I'll start with these:

A couple of vintage cars.

C2 Corvette Convertible

late 70's Camaro Z28 (I think it was a late 70s one)

1969 Chevelle SS (This car show had a lot of chevelles)

Ford Deluxe Coupe with a V8 from a fox mustang in it.

Alfa Romeo GTV-6

Older Ford Pickup (I didn't take a picture of the front, sorry)

Older Chevrolet Pickup (I think it's a 3100)

1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans AM

This looks like a 50's Ford Fairlane to me, but I might be wrong.

Mercury Cougar

Oldsmobile 442

Ford Bronco

Clean Fox Mustang

1968 Ford Mustang GT (I thought it was a cobra jet at first, but I then saw the GT badge)

Triumph TR6

1966 Shelby GT350 (Clone, it looked really good though)

Ford Mustang II (If only these weren't so underpowered, stupid fuel crisis)

Oldsmobile 442 #2

1955 Ford Thunderbird

Ford Galaxie 427

1968 Chevrolet Chevelle

Mercury Cougar Eliminator (My 2nd favorite from the car show)

Chevrolet Impala Convertible

1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS

1967 Ford Mustang with an odd paintscheme

Pontiac catalina

1967 Pontiac Firebird

Lotus Super 7 (finally, a picture of a Lotus)

1968 Ford Mustang Conv.

and there's more to come in a while, I need to go do something first.

 

[Eric1512]

My Saturday was good! I will post some more later.

2013 SRT Viper GTS Launch Edition

Nissan R34 GTR.

Two cars I have always loved and I got to see both in one day. I think it was a good early birthday present!

1948 or 49 Ford Sedan

1930s Ford Coupe (I think)

1969 Ford Mustang Mach I (love the green)

Shelby Cobra 427 (I don't know if it's a replica or a kit car tbh)

1969 Ford Mustang Mach I #2 (looks great in red)

Austin Healey 3000

Plymouth Barracuda

Studebaker Avanti

1949 Ford Sedan #2 (or coupe)

2nd Gran Torino with the "Starky and Hutch" paint scheme, but different shade of red.

This buggy thing

Late 70s Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Porsche 911 Targa (930)

Some type of Ford Street Rod 1933-34 Ford Street Rod Coupe

Big Chrysler Sedan (don't know the model name) 1976 Chrysler Newport

Late 70s Pontiac Firebird

Early 70s Chevrolet Nova

Another Triumph TR6

Custom VW Beetle

1966 Ford Mustang GT Coupe

 

[Slash]

Looking forward to it man.

 

[playnthru]

That's a 33-34 Ford (looks fiberglass by the firewall) still cool.

Chrysler Newport 75-76? I don't know something like that.👍

Thank you, I'm going to correct those now.

Edit:

Looks like the red '69 Mach 1 has a Windsor. Can't tell off hand if it's a 302 or a 351 (more likely the latter) as they look identical. Beast of a street motor either way.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Went to my first ever Hot Import Nights car show...that was taking place at the same time as a big drift event at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. There was interesting stuff, but being a tuner show...there were plenty of ricers there.

R33 GT-R

GranCabrio and GT-R (with the GT-R owner desperately cleaning it as the show was starting)

GranCabrio

GT-R

Stanced G37

Corolla

FR-S

Probably the most Evo's I've ever seen in one area. So I won't bother overflowing the page with Evo pics...

Only one of the two modified MKIV Supras at the show. (The other wasn't tasteful...)

Superbird wasn't part of the show, but there was another American car show going on in the infield of the oval at NHMS. Funny enough, one of the more interesting cars to me there despite being a Japanese car fan.

Love old Corolla wagons...just not too sure about it stuffed with speakers and subwoofers.

STI

FR-S and STI

I feel like I've seen this STI before somewhere...

Another Corolla coupe

Scion booth with tC and FR-S.

Offroad Celica? This gen was only FF though in the US.

Tasteful AE86 hatch.

Unfortunate Quattroporte...

A Canadian that brought in an R32...

Clean MKIV Supra Turbo (Despite growing up as a big fan of these, I've NEVER seen one up close in person in my life until this car show.)

NSX

FD RX-7

KE70 Corolla

And now...I think I'll post the spectator's cars here as well...

M3 E46

Another MKIV Supra

Lovely IS-F

CTS-V Coupe

Pair of Nismo Zs

M5

Alpina B7! (Owner wasn't exactly kind... I first had a look at the M5 and the owner started bragging about how it was nothing to his B7 and that I knew nothing about it... Despite the fact that I JUST walked over and didn't say a word...)

22B Replica

Galant VR-4

Not sure...a kit car of sorts?

Ferrari 308 taking a peek...

Cobra...replica?

Only American classic in the spectator lot, but I think they went there by mistake and immediately turned around to go to the American car show.

Mean looking panel van...Don't know what it is...

I've never seen an original Mini...

FD RX-7

The not-so-tasteful Supra

NSX

Classic 911

 

[Slash]

Those NSX's and Superbird are sexy.

 

[playnthru]

@MedigoFlame

Panoz Roadster I think, great spot. Defiantly not a kit.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panoz_Roadster

The mean looking Panel is Chevy or GMC. Awesome pictures thanks for sharing them.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Thanks for the info! It did have something about it that seemed like...a Panoz. Especially the front, but I couldn't think of it at the top of my head.

Edit: Well...now that I JUST looked at it. That doesn't look like a Panoz Roadster. It had a very large grill...is what I remember.

 

[GregTheStig]

ilikewaffles: that's an amazing collection! Thanks for sharing 👍


This was at Atlanta's Caffeine and Octane event this morning. The blue M6 Gran Coupe was my favorite. Took more pics of that than anything else.

Not pictured because my photos turned out like crap and I'm too lazy to fix them right now: Lamborghini Countach, Porsche Carrera GT (though I got a good pic of the wheels ), new facelifted Audi R8, AM V12 Vantage with a matte black wrap, a Plymouth Superbird, and two SRT Vipers (those will go up later).

 

[McLaren]

Ermahgerd!!!

The M6 GC (esp in that San Marino Blue) has got to be one of the most beautiful cars released in the last 5 years. And BMW decided it was worthy of a manual transmission as well.

Surprisingly, this manual gearbox is not available in the EU

Do you have a picture of the front? I could wrong of course, I'm just guessing by the back end picture.

Epic post! The red white and blue Mustang is known as the Mustang "Sprint". It was Fords salute to the USA Olympic team. The paint scheme was offered on Mustangs, Pintos and Mavericks. It should be a 1972 Mustang.

EDIT: Alright, here's the last bit of pics I have from the car show. Get prepared for more scrolling.

EDIT 8/7/13:

Well, noone has posted here in a while, so I'll step in and do another session of car pics, because I went to yet another car show that was located at a Ford dealership. I looked at the show cars first, but then went to look at the showroom to see what they had and what was in the parking lots.

Here's the showroom and parking lot pics:

Some Ford Focus STs (I probably won't post anymore after this):

2013 Ford Mustang GT Convertibles

2013 Ford Taurus SHO

2012 Ford Shelby GT500

2012 Ford Mustang GT 5.0

Ford F-350 4x4 King Ranch

 

[Slash]

When I get around to it I'll upload videos and more pics, but to start off...


1968 AMX 390.

Heres a few more:


Unknown Porsche. Was a 4 door and the owner said it had a 4.8L in it or something close to that when I talked to him. Ran an 8.8.

AMX (there was an orange one too)

C6 Vette, ran 8.8 in the 1/4th or a 13.7 1/4 mile.

Built 4.6L Mustang with slicks...ran an 8.8 as well. Absolutely trashed a 2012 5.0 Mustang. And the driver was a girl =P

Vette and AMX

GTO, BMW, '69 Vette (driven by 2 girls =P) Vette blew the BMW away.

GTO. Ran 9.5s on street tires I think.

GTO lining up

2 modern Camaros lining up. This shot was taken literally as the light turned green.

'71 Cuda, rare sight. Don't know the engine though. Believe it was running low 8s.

The 5.0 and 4.6 lining up. 4.6 smoked it. Got it on video.

Wish I could have got the Orange terminator Cobra that was there. That was running 7s and ate a red C6 Vette by half the track.

EDIT:


Videos are uploading. Should be up later.



First videos. Warning language in all videos. I have a very dirty mouth, sorry lol.












AMX on street tires:







Last race in this video is the 4.6L Mustang running an 8.8 and wrecking a new 5.0.





My buddy racing his Corolla, pulled an 11.4 out of it even though he messed up a bit.



This is my friend Paul racing his Pontiac Grand Prix 3.8L Supercharged against my friend Evan who has $26,000 in his Civic. This outcome you are about to watch happened 3 times.



This one was kind of neat. Crown Vic cop car vs a Dodge Ram.



My buddy taking his Corolla down again after a short delay. People weren't getting their time slips. This was the last video I shot.

 

[Lock2Lock]

Nice spot on that AMX.

I believe I know a place that is still selling one close to where I used to live. It wasn't in bad shape.

 

[Slash]

Thanks, from my understanding it's a pretty rare car, especially the 1968 model that it was. And then being a 4bbl 390 on top of it. I talked to the owner, and he seemed pretty nice. I was thinking about talking him into letting me ride down the track with him.
