1969 GTO, 1967 Camaro 👍 both of them pretty awesome, the Camaro looks freaking mean. It probably is. Street machines ftw.

Been meaning to say, thanks for the help with ID's! I like to keep my photos organized by file name, with format [maker] [model] [trim] [year] [color] [etc], and I post it this way to Flickr, so it's searchable, and evidently thanks to new Flickr stats I now know that my file naming system is helping google search users to find my photos!

And yeah, probably some optical illusion going on, but the difference in front/rear tire widths on that Camaro is astounding! Looks almost like a drag strip car.

Drove around looking for cars for a few hours today, sunny and cool, 61 deg F, Memorial day weekend (3 day weekend in the US.)

Boom! 997 GT3 RS 4.0, one of 600!


996 Turbo and friend


996 GT2 !


928 and friend. Actually, what is that white car? Thunderbird?


356 1600 Super Coupe (I think)


... 20's Mercedes?


GT500... and don't say anything about the driver. If you do, you'll never get to see his collection. And it's impressive. Seen him out in his Ford GT before. Actually, I've seen him get in his GT before. And don't ask how.


country cruise


Raptor


F355 Spider


1952 Chevy?


Z4 M


F10 M5


a pair of E92 M3's




Alpina B7


C7 S6


my first Virage!


hmm... well that photo didn't turn out right... what could this be?


same question


and why didn't Flickr sort this one up with the other Porsche's? the questions that keep me up at night... 997 Turbo S. Pretty good Porsche day!
 
On your third to last picture, it appears to be a Cadillac of some sort. Fleetwood maybe?
 
@jeffgoddin, the second picture in question, I'm guessing that car is a early 70's Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
 
Jeff, the Camaro was absolutely a drag/street car, no optical illusion in the tire width difference. As for your new post, that is no 20's Mercedes but 20's Buick; the white Cadillac is maybe a 1966, the Monte Carlo is a 1970, and the white T-Bird is indeed a 66 like the above poster said.Very cool post, my friend 👍
 
996 GT2 !

Isn't it a 911 Turbo just like on the previous pic?

EDIT: Here go my older Porsche spots by the way.

I don't like Cayennes much, but this one looks nice:

Not saying anything bout the driver but the cop, and the guy he pulled over, are having a right good stare.

Also thats a Gembella 911 GTR800 isnt it ^^^^^

Can't think of what this little thing is called, but it's on the tip of my tongue - err - fingers. Got the Lincoln in there as well.






Edit: it's an Econoline

Nothing too amazing out today. The founder of MERDAD was driving the Cayenne though, he bought us some drinks and we had some car talk, was interesting :)
 
Couple recents. First, a Lotus Elise, shot on the hoof:

A 1965 Mustang. Claims to be a 302 V-8, which might be accurate. I see this one on a regular basis and the interior is immaculate, likely restored with an eye toward authenticity. Not all are: I saw a 1966 289 V-8 recently that appeared to have a cheap replacement fender and a decidedly non-authentic interior. It was for sale for $12k and I wouldn't have paid half that. The 302, on the other hand, would be worth that ask and more.

Not authenticity but a nice little hot rod: the 302-inch engine wasn't available for the 65-66 model years, the paint is obviously not original, the hood scoop is a Shelby repro item, and if my memory serves me right, not even the Magnum 500 wheels were offered as an option that early on the Mustang life. But the car is cool, indeed.

As if the majority of us will ever get to even know who the guy actually is or be in a position to see this impressive collection to begin with, so I'll say what anyone would be thinking since you had to bring attention to it.

He's a fat 🤬 in a big sports car.
