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

[Gotbeefboy564]

I went to the Excell Auto Cars and Coffee in Boca Raton, FL today and someone brought this

That goes in the event and showroom thread.

Sorry about that! Thanks!

Anybody every seen anything like it before? Looks like he kept the semi intact and just stuck the back half of a bus body over the rear half of the cab, so I guess it wasn't too hard to pull off...

I've seen a few wacky combos like this before. I think most are purpose built by their owners, often to haul race cars and such.

That makes sense, there were some what look to be car hauling trailers there as well.

Forgot to post this one.

Murcielago Coupe people were in the shop when I took a picture of it so that's why I have the window up.

 

[ViscousTraction]

My year has been made


I also saw a black Viper RT/10​

 

[jeffgoddin]

For sure real? Without getting close, given the surroundings, I'd strongly suspect kit/clone. Still cool even if it is.

Not sure, even after making tiny comparisons with the rear quarter.

Edit: I see it now. It's a replica.

Getting some more spots, looks like Spring is here! Went on a couple long drives after short days of work on Monday and Tuesday and found amazing tuners both days. Very different, but equally cool. North Coast Speedshop was serious about cheap tuning to make cars fast, but had an amazing diversity of cars on the lot. Medina Motorsport was more hardcore into engine building, but the owner loves European cars, very cool place. Some of those photos I haven't uploaded to Flickr yet, but here's some of them, and some other recent finds.

like the background here. way out in the country, old medium-sized rust-belt town.

About 200' off the road down a long drive between buildings, 70 miles from home on Tuesday having spotted almost nothing, my perception is sharp like a hungry hunter, and I catch in my periphery a Mark II Jag! Took a lot of work, including first an obstructionist employee (boss isn't here... I circled around town for a while and spotted the MGB and AMC, came back... boss is on the phone.... guys at another shop I confused with being related pointed me in the right direction finally) and then when I found the boss, who'd been there the whole time and not on the phone, I endured an hour and a half attempt to convert me to some sort of born-again religion. Don't get me wrong, I very much appreciated his beliefs and enthusiasm, but I was there for the cars! So I was patient...

I'm 100% positive it's a kit or replica as the proportions are all wrong, still cool though.👍

Took the kiddo the mall today. Saw a Tesla or two.

 

[axletramp]

"Here, hold my drink and stand there!"

Tesla clearly not known for their flamboyant colour palette.

 

[VXR]

Terrible phone pics, but it's unusual where I live to see this many at once.

There was also a California T, a Gran Turismo Spider and Ghibli saloon.

 

[jeffgoddin]

It's great to stumble across a caravan of Ferraris, isn't it?

 

[VXR]

Most definitely!

 

[AlvaroF]

I've been waiting to gather more spots, because there has been plently lately, but I have terrible timing. For now, I've got these

Bentley Continental.

Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 (probably a GT Junior)

 

[Fastcarguy]

 

[Tornado]

Nice to just see a regular old Camaro

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Saw this on the highway

Not bad for a rainy shot.

 

[Casey]

Saw this Mustang at the back of a car lot today, somebody owns it.

*Edit* (best photo I could take)
At the back of a Toyota maintenance department, looks like the engine is out since the front is sitting high.

 

[ViscousTraction]

[Gotbeefboy564]

Saw these today
Nova

Tech art kit 911

Another Porsche

And finally a bad shot of a old Mini, don't remember if this is my first wild shot of one

I didn't see him until he was done turning from the intersection I'm surprised the picture wasn't worse.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Yeah, you can totally tell it's a classic Mini, though not sure if anybody can say whether it's from the 1960s or 1980s... I saw a bunch in San Francisco, but can't remember seeing more than one over the past 4 years here in Ohio. So, great Michigan find!

I see them at the British car show and cruises but not on the road. I was happy when I saw it.

another car at work, never seen this year Satellite before, like! Early/mid sixties straight lines are so much nicer than the curves of the late 1960's, in my opinion. And anything with stacked lamps, !
