Weekly (Friday Nights) Car Show

[Fleet 500]

I've posted here before about the weekly car gathering I go to. I never know what will be there.. I've even seen a tank there!
Last Friday, there was a red Ferrari 4.1 Automatic, so I took a few photos since I always bring my camera.
Does anyone know what year Ferrari it is? I'm guessing around '73 or '74. I didn't see the owner, so I couldn't ask.

[fisetdavid26]

The badge says it's a 400i, they were produced between 1979 and 1984. There were 1294 units produced.

[Fleet 500]

That's right... 400i. I don't know where I got "4.1" from; that's what I thought it said.
1979-'84? Okay, thanks for the info.

[Fleet 500]

Here are some general photos of the show. It is a year-'round show but rain cancels. Cold weather and wind doesn't, though. I have stopped by there when it's barely 50 degrees outside and windy, and there are still cars and people there.

[Ferrer]

That's right... 400i. I don't know where I got "4.1" from; that's what I thought it said.
1979-'84? Okay, thanks for the info.
Furthermore, 400 x 12 = 4800cc.

Automatic = lose, though. :(

[Fleet 500]

I was really surprised to see an automatic Ferrari. I didn't even know there were automatic Ferraris.

[Ferrer]

I was really surprised to see an automatic Ferrari. I didn't even know there were automatic Ferraris.
IIRC the first experiment was in a 365 2+2 with a GM automatic by an american dealer. Then from the 400, Ferrari began offering automatic transimision options from the factory on their 4-seater cars, right up to the 456 M GTA. The flappy paddle gearbox was first offered in the 355, and since then it has become increasingly popular, to the point that it has even replaced the automatic option in the current 4-seater Ferrari, the 612 Scaglietti.

[Fleet 500]

Maybe they figured they could increase their sales if they offered an automatic. And maybe it did.

[Wouter Melissen]

Maybe they figured they could increase their sales if they offered an automatic.

Is there any other reason why they would add something to their line-up?

[Ferrer]

Maybe they figured they could increase their sales if they offered an automatic. And maybe it did.
Well, yes, the didn't offer an automatic because it was more fun or better... ;)

A bit like the current Maserati Quattroporte only this time the automatic really is better.

[Fleet 500]

Is there any other reason why they would add something to their line-up?
I can't think of any. I guess they wanted their cars to have more variety... can't blame them, I guess.

[Fleet 500]

Well, yes, the didn't offer an automatic because it was more fun or better... ;)

I bet a very, very low percentage of Ferraris with autos were built compared with manual transmissions.

They only sold 502 cars? Or are you only giving one model? ;) :D

that body style came under various names: 365GT, 400i and 412. The figures were for the 400i

I've actually seen several Ferraris at this car show. But I'm not surprised; it is a car show/display afterall. Technically, it's for 1974 and older cars, but I've seen newer ones.

Here is the tank I mentioned. As I said, it drove in off the street! I don't see how that could be street legal.

that is not a tank, it is what is called a half-track, with front wheels and rear tracks.

[Fleet 500]

Oh, maybe that's why it's street driven. There are shadows in the photo because the sun was just about setting.

Who'd stop you from driving it on the street?

LOL. Good point! He certainly doesn't have to worry about "road rage."

Anyone else thinks the 400i is the most unappealing Ferrari there is?

It has tough competition from the Mondial.

personally I think the 250 GTL is getting much more acclaim then it deserves, but I think I will be quite alone in this opinion.

Wow, really? Why?

Altough it isn't my favourite, I like it and definitely a lot better than a 400i or a Mondial.

[henk4]

Wow, really? Why?

it simply does not appeal to me. The SWB was so much better, and is the 275 GTB.

[Fleet 500]

I stopped by the car show again this week.
And here is a pic of a rarely-seen Nota M400...

[Fleet 500]

Here are two muscle cars Chevy fans would enjoy.
A '72 Chevelle and a '67 350 Camaro. (I don't know what engine the Chevelle had).

The next photo shows three muscle cars side-by-side.
1969 Plymouth GTX 440, 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona 440 and a nice Olds 4-4-2 Convertible.

Just a couple of the first ones i seen.. Actually more like overhaulin now i think of it:).

[Fleet 500]

In addition to the Friday night car show, there was another one today. At the California Car Cover store.
The first photo is a Ford GT.
It was intereting to look at, but I would rather have the '68 Hemi Dart (photos #2 and 3) and the '68 Hemi Barracuda (photo #4).
BTW, the Dart had a "historical vehicle" license plate and the Barracuda had a plate with current tags (due Feb., 2008). So contrary to myth, the Super Stock Hemi Darts/'Cudas could be registered for street use.

Very rare to see not one, but two, '68 Hemi Super Stock Mopars!

[aNOBLEman]

That GT40 is nice. A guy at my church has a GT40 replica and it looks/sounds great.

what would you expect from a car that is probably not older than 3 years....

[Fleet 500]

Good point.
But then there are those who can destroy a car before it's 3 years old. Like that guy crashing the Ferrari Enzo on Pacific Coast Highway.

[nota]

Its not myth but fact that they were sold untitled and therefore prima facie unregisterable. That some have since been 'slipped through the system' and now wear plates does not change history

In similar vein to those hemi cars, only nine '74 Leyland P76 Force 7V coupes were ever sold, none at retail level. Like the hemis the Force 7V model never achieved type-compliance and thus none of them could be legally registered for road use. Hence all 7Vs were auctioned off with no compliance plates, as 'unregisterable job lots'. In the intervening decades some owners have managed to sneak a few of these cars through rego but it doesn't change the fact that at prime level they were and still remain technically illegal for road use, including insurance ramifications etc

[Fleet 500]

The end fact is that the could be registered even though the technically "couldn't." They did have functional windshield wipers and head/tail lights. I would say it changes history... cars that were sold untitled are driving (legally) on the street! Someone on a Mopar message board owns a street-driven/street-legal '68 Hemi Barracuda and at a Mopar-only show a few years ago, I saw another two '68 Hemi Darts which drove into the show.

There were approximately 80 '68 Hemi Darts and 80 '68 Hemi Barracudas built, at a price between $4,500 and $5,000.

[Fleet 500]

Here are a couple of cars at last night's weekly gathering...
The first one is a 1977 Puma (that's what a sign said inside the luggage compartment).
The second one is a 1970 Dodge Challenger Convertible w/440-6 Pack.

[Fleet 500]

Some more interesting cars at tonight's car show...
1. A mid-'60s Ford Thunderbird, black with a blue roof. Recently painted.
2. Another Ford GT.
3. A nice 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T 440 Convertible.

[Fleet 500]

Here is a 1960 Chevrolet Convertible which was parked next to the Ford GT...

[henk4]

did you also shoot the Studebaker? That will please Nota;)

[Fleet 500]

And here is a car belonging to one of the "regulars."
A '72 Plymouth Duster 340. It actually has a built 360 cu in V-8 which has dynoed at 420 horsepower and 450 lbs-ft torque. With a 3.55:1 rear axle ratio, it runs 1/4 miles in the 12-second bracket. Its relatively light weight (2,970 lbs) really helps in the 1/4 mile runs. This car belongs to the original owner; the original 340 engine is being stored because it is a built engine, too, even more so than the 360 and it's kind of wild for street use.

[henk4]

what is a built engine? Are there also unbuilt engines???

[Fleet 500]

what is a built engine? Are there also unbuilt engines???
"Built" means modified... usually internally (pistons, cam, crankshaft, etc) as well as externally (carb, headers, intake manifold, ignition upgrades, etc).

The engine in the Duster requires high octane... the owner mixes 91 octane pump gas with 111 octane (at $8.25/gallon).

[Fleet 500]

did you also shoot the Studebaker? That will please Nota;)
Yes, I did at last week's show. One of my car friends is a Studebaker fan. I'll post it here in about 10 minutes.

"rebuilt" or "upgraded" would then be more appropriate words to use...

and with that he gets only 420 BHP out of an over 5 liter engine????

[Fleet 500]

Okay, here's the Stude at last Friday's show.
It was parked next to a '66 Ford Fairlane XL 500 390-cu-in Convertible.

[Fleet 500]

I guess it's a California term.

and with that he gets only 420 BHP out of an over 5 liter engine?????

I'm not sure; I would have to ask him, but I think that is the rear wheel hp on the dyno. The "gross" hp would probably be about 480 hp.

[henk4]

Okay, here's the Stude at last Friday's show.


Thanks, I don't think those terrible wheels were a period accessory:)

[Fleet 500]

I see what you mean. I don't know how the owner could think those wheels look good. I like to keep the exterior on my cars original.

[Ferrer]

I have to say I agree with you completely. Is that the end of the world as we know it? :D

And that Studebaker looks very good indeed (minus wheels of course).

[Fleet 500]

Could be.

I can't believe the owner thinks those wheels look good.

[Fleet 500]

Very busy at yesterday's car gathering. A lot of variety.
I took these pics of a '96 Detomaso Guara...

[cmcpokey]

that isn't by chance the guy on here that has one?

[Fleet 500]

Here is some kind of Honda; can't remember the model. I guess I should have wrote it down. But I bet someone here can identify it.

[Fleet 500]

A strong possibility since according to the sign only two are in the U.S.

[Fleet 500]

Here is a small car for small car fans (Honda 600)...

[Cyco]

Honda NSX, possibly the must usable sports car made till the arrival of the AMV8.

Has multipul quntaties that you would have no interest in (low weight, chassis and suspension tuned by Senna, engine that will scream all the way to 8000rpm, low drag,....)

[Fleet 500]

Here is a big car for big car fans ('64 Buick Electra 225)...

[Jack_Bauer]

I think you're referring to Guara0007. He's based in Austria, so not likely to be his. http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/member.php?u=31484

Think he's posted pics of his Guara on UCP somewhere in the past, could be wrong though.

Honda S500 with a 9.500 rpm redline ftw
Initially introduced with a 492cc engine, the specifications read like those from a Formula 1 race car;

double overhead camshafts,
four carburetors,
needle roller bearing crankshaft,
9,500 rpm redline.
Final drive was by oil bath chains to the rear wheels.
Four wheel independent suspension was achieved using torsion bars in the front,
diagonally attaching coil-over-shock strut units to the rear of each chain case.

When the name Cadillac is spoken I think of (for the classic ones) a big & roomy car, with a powerful engine with tons of low-end torque (rated at 525 ft-lbs for the '69), glamorous styling (no chopped off trunk or stubby hood like the new ones have), lots of real metal and chrome, a smooth and quiet ride and plush interior. :)

BTW, you wouldn't ZZzzZZ in my '69 after I do a few full throttle starts. :D

[Timothy (in VA)]

So
1. A mid-'60s Ford Thunderbird, black with a blue roof. Recently painted.


A 1965 Thunderbird, to be precise, of which just under 75,000 were made. The real rarity in that picture is the 1969 Chrysler Three Hundred next to it; they made less than 2,000 Three Hundred convertibles that year.

Great stuff, please keep sharing. :)

A '65, okay I'll remember. I think I have a pic of that 300 convertible which is why I didn't snap a photo of it on Friday. Maybe if it's there next Friday, I'll take a few pics of it.

Great stuff, please keep sharing. :)

Okay, I'll see what is there later this week (Friday).

[Fleet 500]

A lot of cars again at this week's car show.
Plenty of Corvettes... maybe it was "Corvette Night."

Something not right about these two Chevy Novas.
The one in the first two photos has "427" emblems on the fenders and the one in the last two photos has "396" emblems, but the distributor on both are in the rear of the engine. I think the distributor on big block Chevys are on the front of the engine, like on my Cads.

There was a Lincoln Town Car (a '94, I believe) and a Mercedes E350 parked next to each other, so I took some pics.
I like that long rear overhang of the Town Car, looks more elegant. :)

It might be slightly more elegant if they parked within the lines ;)

doesn't help the E350 has the worlds worst vanity plate.

I haven't posted more cars in a while so here are some.
These were at yesterday's show...
The first car in the first two photos was hard to identify. Obviously a kit car; it had no emblems at all. According to one bystander, it is a Ultima.

The next one is a Chevy El Camino with a big supercharger.

After that is a silver '76 Cadillac Hearse. My '69 Fleetwood is in the foreground.

The last few gathering were rained out.

Here are two photos of a Porsche Spyder and two photos of two separate Z06 Corvettes...

It gets dark very early this time of the year at car shows, so I had no choice but to take these pics at night.

An Alfa and a Sunbeam.

[Kitdy]

Who can identify the Alfa?

I am curious, too. I didn't see the owner around, so I couldn't ask.

There was another car show out here today. Hosted by California Car Cover... californiacarcover.com (http://www.californiacarcover.com)

1. Dodge Hemi-Challenger
2. 350 Camaro
3. '67 Corvette
4. '57 Chevys are common out here, but this is a real nice one.
5. Pontiac Tempest, 1966?

Here is a video of a Chevy Nova leaving the car show. The driver left a nice trail of rubber smoke! I plan to take more videos like this one over the next few months...

[Fleet 500]

This was at the car show last Friday. A 1969 427 Yenko Camaro which is almost finished (it still needs a complete repaint).

It looks like it will be a very nice (and attention-getting) muscle car when it is finished.

Several cars of interest at last night's show.

1-2. A 396/425 hp Corvette. Looks like a '65 (that was the first year they had a 396).

5-6. 1964 Pontiac GTO 389 engine.
