name this automobile

what car is this?

Ford GT 90?

I just got back from taking my friend for a ride at a new top speed of 160. Well that's what the spedo said. Nothing like a Saturday morning hangover to let her rip. I'm thinking more like 140. I just painted this car. believe me when I tell you I'm glad to to see it go. Mic, you got me on the space oddity. here is an easy one.

This is a bit easy, we are actually running it today:

A little tougher, yes this one runs and drives too:

GT90 for sure, then a 56 Chev BelAir. Oh, and 1900 Oldsmobile and a 1906 Model S Olds? (those not easy, but my best guesses)

Here's one of my favourites:

Yup. How about this one:

Or this:

Jensen Interceptor ?

Here is my guess ... late 60's Maserati Ghibli. If I had to pick a year 1968???

Well, you got the year right, but you're too far south.

First is Lamborghini Islero. Second is a guess for Aston Martin DBS, just before intro of the V8, (4 headlight six cylinder car), so 1968 it is. If this is right, it sure looks better from the side than the front! Do tell!

Well, you got the first one right. Keep trying.

Yes!

1998 Shelby Series 1?

OK. This?:

Pininfarina concept car from 1970-71 approx. It was called the modulo or modulus or something like that. Interesting the way the roof slid back for entry. I had a model of this car years and years ago

OK, whats this???

The last one with "McClaren" on it certainly isn't. It's a Manta kit car, usually sporting a significant American V8.

I remember reading in a showdown test in the late 70's of several then current supercars and the Manta kicked 'em all in 'race track' performance numbers. Low weight, high power, race bred suspension but virtually zero practicality. Hope that's right!

You gave us a softball here! Shelby Series 1. Never seen one in real life; these sorta died on the vine it seems. Too many delays, too much pre build hype, seemed dated when it finally arrived, teething pains and all.

ok, then A Hudson, here's a more complicated 1

Ok, the title says what this one is, but I still think it is a cool car. It is like a Pantera on steroids kinda....

Yup. Pininfarina's Concept car for Ferrari—the Modulo.


Mic: a 1981 Talbot-Matra Murena?

How about this one:

You've gone from fringe, to sublime, to ignored! Let me see...

I'll say Matra Simca, possibly Bagheera (but I couldn't see the famous 3rd seat.) Am I even in the right country of origin?

How about this one:

The turquoise car gets my vote for most outrageous thing I've ever seen on 4 wheels. Mighty fine, so Italian.

Since early Maserati Bora's had the unusually 'holey' rocker design, and the alloys look of Maserati or Alfa Cromodora lineage, I'll say this is a Bora concept vehicle.

All I know is I'd like to take my son to school in THAT thing!

Adams, I'm sure he'd like it too. You've got the country right, but it's not related to the Bora or Alfa. Keep trying!

You were right about the Manta, I picked that one to through you guys off.....been in one absolutely brutal acceleration!!!

I didn't learn much at school because I was too busy reading about cars like this - Giugiaro's 1968 Bizzarrini Manta..

Is the green one a Bertone concept car?

Johnny's right again!

If you had to pick just ONE Manta...

How's about this one then?

Or this?

The yellow car is a 1969 Ferrari 512S Berlinetta Special. You've got me on the red car? It doesn't look Italian..

It's got a hovercraft quality about it.

I'm going out on a limb here, but I'd say it was an early '70 Putrificus by Extrordinarius.
