The owners obviously have been using it. Scratches behind the door handle on the door where rings on fingers had scratched the finish, and the wheel nuts seemed to be damaged as well, had a very rough surround to them.
They can probably afford a second one.

Saw the exact same car in London last year, parked outside the Dorchester Hotel next to a Pagani Zonda Cinque.
 
Didn't think it was European, i know we've never had anything like that over this side of the pond.

After a bit of research, i'm pretty sure it's a '72-76 US-market Ford Courier. It's little more than a badge-job on the small Mazda B-series pick-up.

Wow, it never ocurred to me that it could be a pick up. It's been inside that garage for who know how much time, and in the 4 years I have working around that zone, that's the only time I've seen it opened. Cool!

It's an Olds, that's all I got for this one...

WAAAAAAAAAAAY off, man. 1976 Plymouth Duster. With, er, Mustang wheels. Very cool pic btw. nice light.
 
I seen a Ferrari 430 outside my balcony. Phone was charging though so I couldn't get a pic.

Mercury Cougar with a racing paint job.

And:

A really bad picture of a GTR.
 
See, this is why I don't have a problem with the whole not posting a picture thing. It's always going to happen and we're just getting posts from people (no disrespect to you guys) pulling the poster up on it and causing more pictureless posts. I personally don't think we should dwell on it. People that do take photos just keep posting the good stuff...

I'm thinking it's set up as a camera car, probably for taking shots from the outside in at the occupants.

But and Escalade? It's weird. There are no Escalades here and LHD cars are illegal unless it's come over the border. Maybe Cadilliac are shooting some commericals I saw another Cadillac camera car a few weeks ago.

Exactly what I thought.

Ugly Nissan cargo van. Although I could stand straight up in the back.

Called an NV. That is the high roof model and there is a standard roof as well which you can't fully stand up in.
 
Coupler more pictures I had forgotten I had:

2011-06-04115856_edit0.jpg


A drag truck which I thought was pretty cool.


Damn. That's the sickest concoction to cross this thread in a while. Look at how much that motor pokes out. Freaking sick.

It was pretty cool yeah. The picture doesn't really do the tires justice either. Widest slicks I've ever seen on a street legal car. He did have it insured for street driving and drove it to where I took those pictures.
 
Some from the last few weeks.

First two don't really count though :P






Evo FQ400



Aston V8 Vantage



Clio V6 Phase II


Morgan Aeromax
 
Couple more today.

2011-07-21150702.jpg


Mustang obviously.


2011-07-21141721.jpg


An old modified army jeep with collector plates. He was doing 70 km/h with it so it runs pretty well anyway.
 
Started the day pulling a U-ie to follow this guy into a gas station. He followed me out of Wal-mart behind one other car and I could tell in my rear view it might be something good, so I kept watching to see what he'd do next.

Shelby!

Then on my way to Home Depot stopped to get something to drink (98 degrees here today) and this was idling at the pump. Was tempted to ditch my F-150.

2nd gen Camaro Z/28 Type LT Edit: ha! didn't notice until posting the vanity plates here: 1st place! The LT was an option above the Z/28.

photo0044h.jpg


Then there was this 396 Chevelle on the way home at a body shop... next door to another convenience shop where I got some Gatorade..
photo0045xe.jpg

photo0046m.jpg


With this 1969 Indy Pace car Camaro sitting in a corner behind it!
photo0047vt.jpg


And finally, spotting it a few miles from home and proceeding to chase it for maybe 5 miles (3 or so of which were on my way anyhows), this GT500 complete with hottie in the drivers seat and vanity plates reading CBRA GRL. My kind of girl!
photo0048s.jpg


Um, my best post yet, I think! And did I mention there's a lot of muscle here in Ohio?

Duffers, that Aeromax is extremely rare! Ace spot!!

Goddin, the 69 Pace Car, if it's real, is one of the rares muscle cars to ever grace this thread. Sharp, my friend.

👍
 
Yeah, next time I'm through there I'll have to stop and ask. But honestly I'm still :drool:ing over the hottie in the GT500, or maybe sweating as it's 9:45PM and still 88 degrees F (30+ deg C).

Edit: some research suggests that, as this was a 350 Camaro, there were perhaps 15 replicas made with this engine. But overall in all configurations there may have been many hundreds of 1969 Camaro pace car replicas created back in the day, so...
