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

[xXKingJoshXx]

In the Cobra pic, I spy a CTS-V.

 

[Cano]

and here's one for Cano. not sure what it is, but this spot has also sported a Morris Minor and Karman Ghia, so I figure maybe this is interesting, too.

1962 Plymouth Belvedere. So ugly it's cool. Also, cool Challenger, Nismo.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Thanks for the ID Cano, here's another 20 for you!

That is an absolute beast!!
Also nice spot with the Ford GT 👍

"C3, nice grille"

Is that an Z3 M Coupe in the background?

 

[jeffgoddin]

No, I wondered too, but just a regular Z3 Coupe... or Z4?

 

[Cano]

hahaha this post is absolute death. ooooook...

- Second GTO is not even a Pontiac, it's a Mercury Comet, around 1965. Cool car.

- Holy custom GTO is no GTO but a 1964 Grand Prix. AWESOME car.

- The Crestline is ABSURDLY rare for a 1949 Ford. Awesome spot.

- Yes, Jeep Willys.

- There is no "normal" Z3 coupe if I remember correctly, all are M cars. Someone with more knowledge about BMWs will have to chime in here. Nice Vette, too.

- Unsure 2: 1965 Dodge Polara

- Unsure 3: 1964 Pontiac GTO, or at least a Le Mans.

- Unsure 4: Heck. 1920's Chevrolet... maybe.

- Unsure 5: 1940-41 Plymouth or Dodge.

- Unsure 6: RGGHH...without the grille I really can't say for sure. It could be a Packard, a Cord, even a Cadillac. Very early 30s.

- Unsure 7: Unmistakably 1926 Ford Model T.

- Unsure 8: 1946 Cadillac.

- Unsure 9: 1957 Chevy Bel Air. Come on Goddin,that's the most recognizable rear fin trim in history!

- Unsure 10: Absolutely no idea

- Unsure 11: Another '57 Bel Air.

- Unsure 12: Don't know. It's too smoothed out to know. If I had the grille...

- Unsure 13: Triumph 1800 roadster. This one was hard.

- Unsure 14: 1949 Chevrolet.

- Unsure 16: Yet another 1957 Bel Air, this time a post car.

- Unsure 17: 1946-47 Ford.

- Unsure 18: like 1937 Packard.

And the black Z06 Vette wears drag radials. Mean. Also love the Saab Sonnet, very odd sight. Where all these cars comin' from? 4th of july cruise?

 

[jeffgoddin]

Thanks! Only a couple more to go...

And yeah, figured I'd sit in this little town for a few hours today, noon-3pm or so. Notice all the flags? Hoped to see a couple 300sl's an Enzo, Aventador, but this was all that turned up. Same place I've seen fully half of my spots. One guy in the neighborhood has a $10 million+ barn full of exotics and classics, and there are more than a few not far behind him. It was his Spyder Performante I spotted a couple weeks ago.

I grew up about 5 miles from here, in a different school district, (though I left the area for 8 years and then Ohio completely for another 10), but I always remember we called this place the "bubble", because there's so much money here all the kids are totally out of touch. Nice to see some things haven't changed!

Fiat 500C in the background, on the right.

C3, nice grille

The BMW in the background is most definitely an M Coupe, probably from '99. But the holes on front bumper's sides seem to have lights inside, so I might be wrong about the year of production.

TR6

What's that oldie behind it?

930? 964? terrible with ID'ing these

930, no discussion. 964s are newer; they have MASSIVE turn signals below their headlights. And they're somewhat 'smoother-looking', I can't quite explain that

EPIC post, jeff 👍

Nope, that's just a Z3 Coupe. M Coupes have a slightly different front bumper with no fog lights. The Z3 Coupe is still relatively rare though.

 

[ND4SPD]

Not my photo, but I finally saw the new sexy police car's that the city has bought....

 

[TheCracker]

The 930 is just the Turbo version of the pre-964 911. The Porsche posted is just a 911 Carrera with a whale-tail.

 

[Madertus]

Oh, didn't know that! I thought this generation was generally called 930, such as modern 996 etc. ...

 

[jeffgoddin]

Thanks for clearing up the confusion! So 911 3.2 Carrera Coupe with the M491 option.

And Madertus found the easter eggs, no surprise, they were there just for him. And that's the same Gucci 500C I spotted a couple weeks ago, btw.

I'm moved :_D

Once again, great set

Some Triumph.

TR2 or TR3, always a difficult one to call. Love the shape of these little cars though.

Oh and EPIC post, Jeff, thanks for sharing!

 

[Dom00000]

These pics are awesome

 

[RocZX]

unsure 10

It's a Roamer (Barley Motor Car) or Moon Motor Car.

 

[Vince_Fiero]

Triumph TR 250

BMW 1series M-Coupe

Toyota MR2, where those aircaptures from factory?

Blond girl in the way, finally got a red Audi R8 on picture

993 911S

Old Peugeot

California and GTS

Lamborghini Gallardo

Wow, you seem to be right after a quick search. Amazing.

Looks more like a TR3 to me, the TR2 has some slight differences to the pic. 👍

 

[GDII]

Toyota MR2, where those aircaptures from factory?

Not factory. That MR2 has a lot of aftermarket parts. Side skirts, wheels, rear bumper and mesh. Rear wing and the aircaptures. The left side is the only one that would do anything for the air intake but the right side could be used for cooling. It's not non-turbo too.

 

[JacoJa]

I saw these two MP4-12C Spyders on the Las Vegas strip today. I didn't even know they made a Spyder version of that car!

I also spotted a Red and Black Veyron yesterday, and took a crappy photo of it. I can't be bothered getting the other camera USB thingy and uploading it though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the Spyders just announced the other day, the car looks great. I think I might take one over the 458 Spyder.

Edit: I did a little snooping around on Teamspeed and found that they are test mules. Here's a link to the Facebook page where another spotter found them: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150998004722421&set=a.10150571941832421.404134.212116397420&type=3&theater

Yeah, I thought they were. The two cars were travelling together, and the car in front had a go-pro attached to the front window. The second Mclaren has already been decked-out with a matte paint job... Wowzorz!

Edit: Ahhh! Good find, cmbeal!

I believe the good find would belong to you my friend!

 

[Cano]

awesome test mule spot!!!!

 

[tomhart9]

Yeah the Spyder was just revealed in the last week. Personally I think it looks just fantastic! I prefer it to the "normal" version. Great find!!

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Evoque, my first.

I Googled some pics but the rear particularly is veeery similar. For future reference, what are the differences? Cheers!
