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!

Yup, what about this 1?

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.

Fahrenheit,

Is that a vector?

John

This should be easy.

Johnny be good (couldn't resist)

you are right Marc, it is a 1981 Talbot-Matra Murena.
What about this one?

I believe the Vector is of the W12 variety, not the W8, correct?

And Crazy Dave, the mid-engined Corvette concept car was easy.

1968 AstroVette2 - XP880 Wasn't that easy...

Originally posted by Mic:

2005 Ford Iosis concept car developed to show direction for the European Mondeo replacement.

The Vector shown by Fahrenheit351 was one of the last ideas from AVTECH/Vector— a V8 Biturbo Concept. Just a computer rendering, as the car was never built.

I'll leave y'all stewing on the red 170mph hovercraft. This pic is from Le Mans 1966. One of these was my first car.......

Whoopsy, double dropped bollock. I'll try again:

isen't that you, MonteCarlo296, behing this Ikenga?, looks like this pic was taken in Dudley

I must say that the 1969 Ikenga MKIII was pretty out there. You are really pulling out some difficult cars Phil. Now you have to tell us WHICH of those was your first car (an interesting story, I'm very sure). Keep it up, it's fun!

You too, Mic!

Mark

?

nice one: 1968 Bertone Carabo, Alfa Romeo 33 frame, this pic could even be added in the Pictures of Girls Posed with Cars topic

Come on, Mic. That wasn't even hard...

1971/2 Maserati Boomerang show car based on Bora running gear. Good catch on the Bertone Carabo!

Clearly we love our '60's and '70's cars here.

quess this one

1963 Ford Seattle-ite XXI?

Nah, my first car was an MM - and i've had 2 others since. Hence my penchant for strange cars. I wasn't even born when that photo was taken!

And I used to have one of these:

1970 Mecedes C111 (which was easy since I already posted the top view earlier )

I must say that Mic does have me stumped on that weird purple/black convertible. Looks like a Buick, Lincoln or Olds, but I'm lost.

Edl, i beleive it is a Battista Pininfarina design of the 1968 Iso Grifo. SCRATCH THAT

Wow. Talk about heavy guns! A Finish concept car from a company that assembles Porsche Boxters & Caymans! OK, you win!

OK...You guys have stumped me on just about everyone of these, but I thought I'd throw one into the ring (nothing to compete with a Finnish concept car though!).

...and how about this one...

The no 64 car is a Cheetah. Chevy powered and built in Anaheim CA. The red car??

OK, my turn again. What's this:

Mark, how about a little help...this one is stomping me...Ferrari red, a 1961-1963 nose, a Masserati mouth...am i cold or hot???

Nobody's got this one yet:

Yes, it's red. It's Italian. Late 50's.

Sorry, this is a Probe 16 from 1970. Pretty bloody obscure with only TWO ever made!!!! (although it was in Clockwork Orange...)

while i am still searching Mark's last sports car and i bet a lot of us are, here's an other one to quess...looks like a Mangusta, if you look very quickly

Originally posted by Mark Charlton:

i think i got it: a 1955 Ferrari 750 Monza ?

I looked at the 750, but I don't think that's it. The headrest is too low and the openings around the edge of the hood are different. It looks like the mouth also has more of an overbite and is narrower.

Is it an OSCA of some sort?

Me too!. More specifically, it's the 1969 Opel CD Styling Exercise designed by Charles Jordan. You did win this round!

Wow, you're really close... It IS a 750... but not a Ferrari or an OSCA!.

While you're stewing on it, her'es one for MIC:

I was going to post that white one next....you beat me to it. Not fair for me to guess now...

As for that darn red one. I was thinking Fiat but my last guess has to be a 1956 Bandini 750 sport

Don't feel bad, Sean. It's a tough one (not in the MIC class of tough, but tough)

The red car is a 1956 Moretti 750 Sport. For comparison, here's the Bandini 750.

Gracious of you to pass on the white car. I'm sure SOMEONE else will get it (Mic, Johnny?). Do you think it was wrong of me to remove its name from the side?

Wow. Love the phone. Need to get that for my Pantera.

removing the name was most appropriate...I was going to use one of the more front-on images.

Never would've gotten that red one (I thought that was an "M" on the center of the wheels but couldn't figure it out!), but have now become a fan of Bandinis....

This is the picture I found of the Diplomat. It was on an Italian site, but it clearly said it was a 1970 (can't read anything else on the site though).

OK..here's my last one, and I kept it small to make it tougher....

My small contribution to these (mostly) ugly cars. Guess this one anyone?

Mark Charlton:
Well done on the Probe, but not exactly right on the Clockwork Orange. That was this one:

Mark, You've got me on the white car?
Montecarlo, My mate Terry Tree owns one of those Probes. He reckons it's the "one" that was used in Clockwork Orange. It's got an Austin Maxi engine!

Ah, yes, the beautiful 1959 Shelby instigated, Scaglietti-built Corvette Italia.

Sean, the Opel Diplomat you found is the 1970 production car, vs. the 1969 styling exercise. Notice the absence of A-pilars on the concept car.

my anwer: eemmmmmmmmmmm!

The red car is a 1956 Moretti 750 Sport. For comparison, here's the Bandini 750.

my answer: I knew that M on the wheel hubs meant something. stomped!

now for the white car, 'GuessMe.jpg' , huh! i'ts getting more and more difficult, ... hint please...any other takers?

here's a nice one to guess, pt1

Looks like a 2001 Edonis made by B Engineering of Italy. Basically a modified Bugatti EB110—as if it would need modifying.

OK, Mic. Your turn to post some answers.
