Don't remember if they made a M roadster in that generation.

Going around streets in my neighborhood I don't usually go and I find this... three in one spot!


This Porsche 912, looks like a '67 to me :)

Surely that's a replica, no? Auburn Speedsters are often replicated and the real deals go for a lot of money, so it would be odd for a real one to be sitting there, seemingly rotting.

Either way, it's freakin' beautiful and a great spot.

1977 Mercury Cougar Station Wagon. According to information I've read elsewhere, because of the lacking woodgrain sidetrim this is not a Villager, but a basic version simply called 'Station Wagon'. I guess it's sort of rare (or at least here, I've never seen another one).

They are pretty rare I have never seen one in person in the states.

Should be what you're saying, but take in mind that 8-10 years ago, there were a lot of abandoned supercars in lots (to claim the insurance money), I even remember where they were! even there's a 1916 Model T rolling around the city, like another car in the traffic, I even posted a pic of it here

Definitely a replica; the fuel filler cap, wheels, and bumper are wrong. Still, 3 great spots. 👍
 
Even the replicas are worth a fair bit. Though a pittance compared to an original 30s Speedster. That one may not be in prime condition but it doesn't make it any less of a head-turner.

Nice Porsche find by the way. 👍

not sure if good or uncommon, but hadn't seen one before and I wanted to take its picture, so...


and today I caught my first C7, getting salty


and a nice looking E36 M3 was out a couple days ago, and an S4 shortly after that, but couldn't bring myself to care enough to take a photo of the Audi... guess it takes RS now to get me excited
 
Hah, great spots @AJHG1000! Even if the Auburn is a replica, it's still a cool spot. The real rarity there would be the 912 if it is indeed a 912.
 
Mazda 2 with black rims at my auto tech school.

Really? A Mazda 2?

And since I got rid of mine the E30s continue to follow me.

Thought it was good because I haven't seen many 2s.
 
Ugh, I hate car spotting logic.
"Oh, you have your camera in hand and ready to take a picture? Here's a bunch of Corollas and Accords and Mustangs"
"Oh, you have your camera in your pocket? Here's an M6 Convertible and Ford Ranchero"
 
I came out of a Schlotzsky's and saw this...

I must say the Rapide looks a lot better in real life.
 
I like the first gen Rapide better than the current Rapide.

From this photo, it doesn't look like much, more like a pile of poo, BUT the body of that thing is in AMAZING condition given where we live. I see this guy around a lot, would love to talk to him. There light surface rust, nothing a good sanding wouldn't take care of. All it needs is paint and some re-chroming and it would look brand new.

I might make an offer on it if I can come up with some cash. I think it's worth about $2k from what I've seen. If I had it, first thing I'd do is tune the motor until I can drop something in it, wheels/tires (33's) and paint. Then I'd probably leave it. I believe it's manual.

I can't believe how good of shape it's in. Actually makes me mad he's driving it in the winter.
