You can also tell its a V10 by it's enlarged side air intake.

*oops too slow*


and the badge on the fender, can't read it from this distance but the V8's don't have any badge.
 
Thats what we thought. We also wanted to take the whole thing but we only had a Focus and I don't know if thats even legal :lol:


I'd go pick it up tomorrow then put it on e-bay, both the grille and the hood ornament. you could even take the letter that are still in the metal and sell them too. Those parts are RARE and, well... they're in the trash, nah?
 
Damn there's an awesome Audi R8 (v8) right outside my apartment on some cool black rims... but the security guards won't let me take a damn photo... Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (that's me doing the talking like a pirate day)
 
Had a few good spots over the month:

Nice mach 1 70, I think

Incredible spots both, and in Croatia! amazing finds, please PLEASE provide MORE pictures of both, I'm a big fan of muscle cars AND of abandoned cars, and those just ring all my bells! please!

Well..I don't have any more pictures. But, will have in a couple of days. Am going back there to take more pictures. I found more cool stuff, not car related dough.



Oh, yesterday:

This past weekend at a local charity car show, the '99 Buick Blackhawk concept car was spotted in downtown Ft. Worth, TX. I found out it's owned locally in my home town. This car was purchased earlier this year's Barrett Jackson Auction when GM was cleaning house for cash before they got their bailout money, it sold for over $500,000+.

I've been bad about uploading my spots.

Not the car, but the plate rather. A Mazda 3 all the way from Hawaii.

Wow, a Gucci Saturn. I've heard those are very rare, good spot 👍. I saw a bright orange Mercedes once with huge white walls, shame I didn't get a piture.
 
Awesome roadster pick up Joey!!! cute little hot rtod. Nice 58 Vette too.

And whoever found out the blackhawk is owned locally, man, you have to keep your eyes peeled.
 
Nice Gucci. Love the typography. So exquisite.



Found this today..a Ford Mustang in excellent condition. Brilliant looking car this one.

Can someone tell me something about this particular model? I am quite fascinated by it.
 
It appears to be a basic model 1971-1973 Mustang with the Mach 1 side stripes. From what I can tell, only the basic models came with the chrome grille surround. I would hedge a guess that this has the 351 V8.

Oh, thank you for the info.
Just one more question...are those exhaust pipes stock or just later added custom parts? Because of those I thought it was maybe a special version.

Yeah, base model indeed, not even a GT351, so it's got a 351 Windsor 2-venturi engine, about 200 hp froma 5.7 liter V8 :dunce: open differential, you know, the stuff Shelby referred to as "secretary's car". It is a 1972, I think.
The side pipes are custom added, as well as the side stripes and horrible steel wheels. The rear wing is also owner-added. Nothing really special, it looks very mexican, I see like 4 of those a week. I understand it should be rare to see one in Croatia, tough.
 
Been out and about with a couple of friends visiting HK lately, so tried my best to keep the camera on the two lady friends rather than indulging on my guilty pleasures of car spotting :P

Nevertheless, here's a few good shots I simply couldn't miss

Shot this one a while back, now in better view, and the white one was 1 car space behind it... I couldn't resist.

Beautiful white M5, sadly I was in a taxi

Nice shots as usual mate. Scag looks menacing and your Rolls shot is timeless. That 612 is often parked up outside Steve's flat in Wanchai, maybe a bar/restaurant owner? That white Fairlady's a real old hotch-potch of bits eh!
 
Loving the comments RUE as always, that 612 is a beauty, I'll have to take some good pictures of it during the day next time. I actually saw another exact Rolls on the same day outside Luk Yu Teahouse when we were there. White fairlady doesn't look too bad, if he changed the front bumper back to a more subtle one, and get some less-FnF looking rims, could actually be a very sweet street car.
 
Are the 350Z pics night shots? They are pretty damn good if so!! Do you carry a tripod, or do you put the camera on another car or what? Anyway, nice pair… white one is a little too much, the black one is noyze.

Yup, night shots they are. There's a fairly decent amount of lighting, and my camera was on 400ISO shooting with a lens with 1:1.4 aperture so it's fantastic in low light conditions... almost all of my city shots at night are now done with this setup and no need for a tripod/monopod.
