Did You See Anything Good Today? [Read First Post]

[NoobMan DS]

My brain's acting up all weird on me. I don't know if it's because I'm tired, or something else. Previously I felt the desire to crush a BMW i3 with my own feeble hands. Now, this Lincoln Continental MkV looks like a delicious chocolate bar to me. I want to eat it. I think it has a hint of caramel too. I just have to say it.

I want it

old M6 is pure win

I went spotting again and my spots have mostly been american this time round. I'm really enjoying this, it's sort of like going on a treasure hunt, just with cars instead of gold.
------------------

Alright, this first car has drove me crazy. I have passed by it so many times since I moved to FL and I just never got a chance to take a look at it until now. It's apparently a Mercury Comet.

1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans AM Pace car that's for sale, but in rough shape.

4th Generation Chevrolet Camaro SS with a California plate

Buick Skylark

This 1965 Mustang was one of the cars I missed during my first run around the neighborhoods nearby me and now

Another car I missed when I explored the neighborhoods the first time. I had no idea what it was first and now; I took another look at it and it's a 1970s Mercury Comet.

Edit: I almost forgot about the Pontiac G8.

I have three nice ones, and a possible great one.

Possible ZL1, help?

Dodge Charger SRT8.

Jaguar XKR convertible.

Porsche 911 turbo.

Impressive. You're doing great, @Dagger311. You've gone from posting Corollas and Cavavettes to posting cars that actually belong in here! 👍

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

@xXKingJoshXx it Should be Cavilettes.

Well, I owe that to @ilikewaffles11. Yes, I stopped (mostly ) taking pictures of base chargers and stuff (even passed on a base model *sheds tear* corvette), and almost never put a Civic up, but the 80's american cars just look so nice, and I can't tell which one of them are rare or not, but I like them all anyway.

But thanks for the compliment 👍.

But anyway, are monster trucks outside of events good? I saw one today, and it looked out of place. Giant wheels, and a bread advertisement on it.

It's apparently a Mercury Comet.

Yes it is. They came with the 170ci and 200ci I6, 260/289's and 427 V8's.

I want it

it's a 1970s Mercury Comet.

Aka Mercury Ford Maverick.

 

[Dagger311]

Ah, what the hell, it's not like you see these things roaming the streets or anything.

And here's that thing I think is a town car, if anyone can ID...

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Ooh! Nice spot! All I can tell you is that it's not a Town Car. That's classic all round American muscle.

Maybe a '65 Goat, but I highly doubt it.

I was calling a town car because it was long like one, and I thought I read Lincoln while I was there.

What is a Goat?

Pontiac GTO. Long story behind the "goat" name.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Pontiac GTO is a Goat.

Tree'd.

It was a failed marketing attempt. A rep went up to present the GTO to a crowd and showed the car next to a young man. Saying: A man and his Goat.

The name stuck afterwards

 

[Dagger311]

Pontiac GTO. Long story behind the "goat" name.

Oh, ok. I know there's a GTO in the area, long story how I know, but I do. I may type it out tonight.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

I think I'll stick to my '65 Goat claim.

Nevermind, it's not a Goat. I checked all '60s GTO rear ends, and '60s Bonneville rear ends.

It's not a LeMans model either, as the arches don't match..

'64 LeMans GTO. It looks like it, except for the wheel arches.

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

After doing some searching I'm positive it's a mid 60s Pontiac, but I'm not sure of the model.

 

[Slash]

Grand Prix maybe?

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Grand Prix maybe?

No, not those either.

 

[Slash]

Yeah was just looking, doesn't seem to be Pontiac. Definitely GM though. Buick maybe?

 

[playnthru]

Wrong year.👎

No 4 door GTO's were ever made to my knowledge.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *claps* Always comes in to steal the kill.


Wait.... it doesn't look like the Yorker. It comes close, but it doesn't match. Compare the wheel arches and taillight.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Aka Mercury Ford Maverick.

Indeed it is.

Also, there were a couple other cars that I could've took a picture of, but I didn't sine I wasn't sure if they were worth photo snapping. I did some research today to make sure they were. I'll get back to those later on I suppose.

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Could it be a Pontiac LeMans?

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Could it be a Pontiac LeMans?

No, look at my post above.

It's not a Catalina/Laurentian, nor Executive, nor Tempest

 

[Slash]

No, look at my post above.

It's not a Catalina/Laurentian, nor Executive, nor Tempest

I've gone through every year of every 1960s Pontiac and it's not Pontiac.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Same here. I ruled Pontiac out. Did Buick make Four-doors in the sixties?

 

[Slash]

As far as I know, yes I think so, but not sure. I am pretty sure it's a Buick of some sort. Or Olds. Definitely GM.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Actually, look at the first-gen Chevy Malibu

 

[Slash]

It's not Pontiac, Olds, Chevy, or Buick. GMC maybe?

Actually, look at the first-gen Chevy Malibu

Nope that's not it.
