Any ideas?

It is indeed the Panther De Ville, actually a very rare 2-door convertible version. Most of the roughly 60 cars produced were 4-door limousines and convertibles. Only a few had this body version. In it's time (1974-1985) it was considered one of the most luxury cars in the world, with price around 100,000 GBP.

[cmarkham]

Okay, not 917 as it isn't a flat 12. 910? Ach. I'm lazy. I should just drag out Excellence was Expected and find out which 8cyl open sports car Vic Elford was driving as #20. I'll let you know what I find. BTW, above taken at Monterey Historics last weekend. Car in background is a Porsche 906. I know that little^H^H^H^H much.

[go.pawel]

What about this car? Is this a berg spyder 910? or 917? TIA.

It's a 1970 Porsche 908/03 (s/n 90803007). The car in the background is, as you said, 1966 Porsche 906 (s/n 906-134).

[go.pawel]

908/3, if I'm not mistaken. :)

Yep, you're right.

[Revo]

Looks like a saab
Definitely not a Saab.

Licence plate and surroundings are Russian. The car looks like built from scrapheap with very rough detailing. Headlights could be from Moskvitch, windshield and front doors from Volga perhaps? Body could be molded from fibreglass.

My guess is that one isn't proper production car, but a one-off by some Russian village mechanic.

If that's true, then not a bad effort at all.

[faksta]

Any of these cars... :D Should be American.

[Kitdy]

908/3, if I'm not mistaken. :)

Does anyone know the significance of the heart symbol contained inside a square on the 908/3? I think I have seen it on WWII-era German fighter planes... I have consulted my book and found out that this is the case. It is a city emblem? Something to do with Germany? Maybe a family sign or something?

Maybe there are many references to symbols in books, but I propose something much simpler :)
In the 1970 Targa Florio race there were 4 908s entered.
Each was given a symbol on the front right - I suggest to identify the car.
What were they ?
A heart, a diamond, a spade and a cards club symbol. :)
#12 Siffert = Diamond
#20 Elford = Heart
#36 Waldegaard = Spade
#40 Kinunnen = Club

Yes, that's true. He was also the last F1 driver to use an open-face helmet (1974).

For faksta:
Those are Darryl Starbird's versions:

02. AMC Pacer
03. Chevrolet Trick Truck 1979
04. Mercury 1951
05. Starbird D Elegance
06. BLUE: Ford Thunderbird Predicta
VAN: Ford Econoline Vantasta 1968

FiRST PiC: The red one behind the van i think it's an El Camino.
The red-white sport car i cant remember what the hell it is, i've seen it before.
And the dark blue on the right looks like an AMC AMX, or some Corvette... i dont know.

Oh, thanks a lot! Never heard of these cars before (I mean, edited ones :p )

[faksta]

It's a TZ Alfa with a special body called the 'Vico'.

Thanks. And who did it? Alfa itself or someone else?

[go.pawel]

A bit of history:

With Autodelta now in Milan (it would become the Alfa Romeo Racing Department in 1966), Negotiations began for Alfa to buy all Chiti and Chizzola’s shares in the company. Chiti happily complied, moving to Milan to become General Manager at the new Autodelta. Chizzola, however stubbornly refused to sell, causing some rancour and it was only his friend, Chiti, who eventually convinced him to sell. With the development of the TZ’s successor the TZ2 continuing at Milan Chizzola completely ignored the existence of the Alfa TZ2. Instead he continued to develop the TZ in the way that he thought it should evolve. Chizzola made a prototype 1600cc car of quite radical design. Convinced that a car should have the lowest possible moment of inertia around the centre of gravity, he made the prototype with the front mounted engine as far back towards the driver as possible. The fibreglass body had gull wings and some clever technical solutions, which allowed the front, and back of the car to be laid completely bare. The prototype, named Vico, after its inventor, due to its innovative configuration was of wide, very low and short appearance. The TZ derivative was road tested by Chizzola on his test circuit and he claimed it lost a little in terms of top speed due to the larger front section with a Cx that was not as good as that of the TZ, but the car made up for this with better and more user friendly handling. Although the car would remain a prototype and never go into production, Chizzola was very proud of the car and loved to drive it. Having been inspected by an expert from the Alfa Romeo Factory, Chizzola’s TZ evolution prototype proves to be based on a heavily modified TZ chassis. The front is similar, but lower with most tubes at different pick up points. The front suspension is from a TZ, as is the steering box, radiator and windscreen. The engine is also from a TZ with the correct sump spacer and sump. The engine itself is mounted on a lower chassis rail with original engine mounts, although these are fitted upside down. Inside the cockpit, the chassis has been heavily modified, but original TZ pedals are used, as well as some instrumentation and an original TZ steering wheel. The gear change mechanism is TZ as is the petrol tank, which have both been modified. The differential, drive shafts, rear suspension and uprights are all original TZ parts. The engine of the prototype car is of single-plug configuration and when tested recently, performance was startling. The car remained with the Chizzola’s at Udine until 2000; during this time it was seen in public only once, in 1996, at an Autodelta reunion. Recently, it was raced at the Goodwood Revival 2007, where the photo was taken.

[faksta]

I've seen this pic in UCP Goodwood report, but I didn't think it could be the same car. It looks completely different from the side.

Anybody knows (or supposes) the model of this Rolls-Royce? It was an ambulance in Russian army in 1914.

they only made the Silver Ghost at that time...so it is most likely a 40/50 chassis.

[ribatejo69]

I need help to identify this Rolls Royce whit special body. any ideas? thanks in advance

Remember that photos of a strange RR? ok, yoday I found some info. look:

"1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom II A very unusual and well-travelled Phantom II. If it doesn't look like a 1930 car, thats because its not really: It was delivered new to Juan Manuel Acevedo of Argentina at the beginning of 1930. In the 1940's the most popular Argentinean actor of that period, Luis Sandrini, owned this car and wanted it to be re-bodied, combining a typical north American style with the classical elegance of this car. This result of the Argentinean coach builder Coronal’s work is this unique and spectacular Phantom II. After a period in Buenos Aires, the car later arrived in Europe, initially in the United Kingdom and finally in Italy in the 1990's. The bodywork, chassis and interior are stated to be in extremely good condition. I only wish I'd found some photos of the interior! I did get a partial of the right side, a side and a left rear-corner view. Definitely an unusual car. The rear window looks like a period Cadillac rear-window."

Reliant developed the car for Anadol, but it wasn't based on any particular Reliant model. Also, the designer was Tom Karen (Ogle Design), who was also responsible for Scimitars. That's the reason of visual similarity.

Would be better to simply attach the pics.

2321 - looks more like something of the American Ford family, rather than Chevy. But I'm not that good with american cars, so I can't tell anything definite.

2335 - The Ford is either an Anglia (E494A) or a Popular. Both looked virtually the same.

2343, 2344 - Ford Prefect (E493A)

Your were right the first time, # 2321 is definately a '56 Chev

You're right. This time I made the effort of looking for pics inteadof simply relying on my memory. And the car is a 1956 Chevy. Hard to tell which model exactly, as they differed in trim mostly, and the pictured car is missing most of its trim :D

[Matra et Alpine]

Easy to get confused :) THe Anglia was 49-53 and then it carried on production as the Popular until 59 :)

With no other info it's hard to tell if it's an early basic Anglia or the later Popular which was "cheap car". The painted grille and headlamp covers would suggest either :( SHame it's missing the badge. ANY year info at all ?

Iso Grifo (http://home.tiscali.nl/isorivolta/isogrifo.htm)
as it says in the link, the Ford engined versions used a higher air intake than the Can-Am versions, so therefore I would say the mystery car is indeed a Ford engined version...

[Duell]

It's a Jaguar E-type alright .
But I never seen a version with double headlights ??
Is it original ?? could some one explain

[Ferrer]

70's tuning gone wrong?

[BarneyBoy]

as it says in the link, the Ford engined versions used a higher air intake than the Can-Am versions, so therefore I would say the mystery car is indeed a Ford engined version...

From http://home.tiscali.nl/isorivolta/isogrifo.htm:
"In 1972 Iso changed to Ford engines. Chevrolet had become an unreliable partner, the relationship with Ford Italia was very good and their engines almost as powerful as those of the Corvette.
The Grifo IR 8.
The Ford-engined versions of the Grifo used a taller air intake on the hood than those of the 7 liter (Can Am) versions. Produced until 1974."

Now whether the pictured car has a 'tall' intake or not, is difficult to say without a pic of the other 'short' intake. However, if I had to guess, I'd say that it's the Chev version, only because by the time the Ford version was produced, they seem to have changed to rectangular repeater lights, the Chev versions (and earlier) using small, round repeaters - common in that era.

Gee it's hard though, as running changes seem to have been made all the time. Attached is an old pic (silver one) showing tombstone style seats of a similar car.
Also is an early Chev model (blue one) with conventional headlights - these were updated to pop-ups to counter the popularity of competitors of the time like the Ferrari Daytona. The red one is taken from a brochure. (sorry sizes are 'as is')

Ok, I saw an classic Ferrari recently, and I'm not sure what it was. It was a 60's era couple, and looked a lot like a 330 GTO, only with a big front intake grille. Any idea what it might've been?

250 GT Lusso most likely

No, it wasn't that, looked like a racing one, had a fair few vents in the bonnet, and the bodywork was sort of bulgy.

I am tempted to say 330 LMB, but that has the normal GTO grille, and by the way, "330 GTO" was never used as an official type indication for a car, there were some 3 litre cars fitted with a 4 litre engine, which became known as 330 GTOs but not offcially. Check the "Cars by brand/Ferrari link on the main page...

[2ndclasscitizen]

I did have a look through, and the one that looks the closest was the 330 GTO Ferrari 330 GTO - Ultimatecarpage.com - Images, Specifications and Information (http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/pic.php?imagenum=1&carnum=1640) If you go by that pic, the front grille wasn't quite as wide, but a bit taller, and the bodywork looked quite similar.

I've seen 4 of those similar replicas around here, 3 in person, 2 for sale. Quite possible one of those ended up in WA.

[juanelo242]

What can you tell me about these cars? I know the red one is a ZR1, but is it some special version?

[McReis]

The first is one of the modern built "knobbly" Listers. They were very nice race cars in their period. Some were built with Jaguar engines and sone with Chevy V8's.
I'm not familiar with that Corvette. Are you sure it looked like that when new?

[juanelo242]

I know nothing about the red one, on the side there's a small red & white badge that made me think that this is a special version or something. Reminds me the marlboro logo.:D

And, what is "knobbly"? couldn't find it on the dictionary
(I speak spanish)

[go.pawel]

And, what is "knobbly"? couldn't find it on the dictionary

"Knobbly" means it has knobbles, e.g. small round protrusions :)
The 1957-58 Lister racing cars got this nickname because of the shape of their aluminium bodies.

Definitely a Chrysler product; looks like it says Dodge above the license plate. Compare it with this 1950 Dodge Coronet (http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/classic-cars/19801-dodge-coronet-1950-a.html). The one you saw has a more rounded bumper, which makes it 1951 or 1952, and I'm pretty sure it is a Coronet.

Almost 9 years of Buick bliss (albeit with huge fuel bills) I wrote a post about it here http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/classic-cars/29455-buick-riviera.html

It was a great car. In the '65s like mine with their unique 'switch the pitch' converter, the automatic would even 'kickdown' in reverse!

Toronado, perhaps?

Toronado looks distinctly American. and in my mind a little cheap.

the Riviera has a certain....Waftability, that they talk about with the New Rolls Royce. The sense of effortless movement.

also, while the Toronado has nice detailing, the Proportions are just iffy.

The red car is a Toyota Corolla or a Sprinter Trueno, it depends on the country.Personally I'd say it's a MR2.

[nota]

What the hell is this? The badge says "CMK Caravan" and the front looks like a Holden.
"Back in 1972, General Motors Korea (GMK) introduced the Vauxhall-based Holden Torana LJ as a Chevrolet 1700. It didn't sell. The gas guzzler couldn't compete with the Hyundai Pony and Kia Brisa (Mazda Famila), So in 1976, GMK facelifted the 1700 and called it Camina. Big change was the 1500cc engine for better economy, but GMK sold just 992 in the first year. Camina remains the biggest disaster in Korean automobile history."

It appears this might be the later facelifted Camina, as Chevrolet 1700 is visually almost identical to Torana LJ (LWB 6 cyl version) although both of the Korean cars were equipped with 4cyl only

That awkward looking CKD-assembled Daewoo wagon bodystyle variant of Torana is unique to Korea, and was not available in Oz Toranas (which btw also offered either 4cyl or 6 cyl models)

LWB 6cyl Holden LJ Torana for comparsion :)

Like Faksta said, the first one is a Chrysler Town and Country sedan. More specifically, it's a 1946-1948 model.

WDF1, WDF2...

Didn't F3 just stand for Formula-3? :confused:

I found this when looking for the word ICON....and Jeep.

Jeep Dakar and Jeep Icon concept cars - 1997 (http://www.allpar.com/model/jeep/dakar-icon.html)

both Chrysler and Toyota seem to like the word....

[LeonOfTheDead]

the general design is also quite similar and constant over the year...;)

Two more.

The second one's filename is oppintrepid2 - is it an Intrepid? I never heard of that before.

EDIT: In the first one, I am aware it is a 917, I am wondering about the car on the right.

The one in the first pic is an Audi R8C, the hard-top predecessor to the all-conquering R8.

Can't help with the second one I'm afraid.

Second one is a Chevrolet Intrepid, which was the works IMSA GTP car for Chevrolet from 1991 to 1993 :)
Have to say it's quite hideous.

Funny thing is, I am familiar with the R8C and know what it's about, but the Union Jack on the side threw me off.

Thanks again J_B.

Yeah it is pretty hideous. Now I will try to find out if it was effective.

Thanks Zytek_Fan.

I did a bit of research of what was available, and apparently the Intrepid was a good car, quite capable of being a front runner, but was usually bested by the better efforts of the works Nissans, Jaguars, and the Spice Acuras.

I'm sure IMSA longs to have the GTP and GTO era back

How do you tell the difference between a TLC restored FJ and a stock FJ? :confused:
