The plate reads "TT MONT".
The TT bit could stand for either Twin Turbo or even Tourist Trophy and I assume the MONT is an abbreviation of FairMONT.
At any rate, I am positive that is a 1978-83...
That's not a Monte Carlo.
It's a late 70s/early 80s Ford Fairmont Futura.
Engine work looks like a photochop. The first pothole would rip out that huge pipe hanging down below.

A RWD Volvo 850?
There's no such thing.
Volvo did produce an all-wheel-drive version of the 850 Wagon/Estate near the end of the 850's production run, but it had nothing to do with the T5/R/T5-R...
Somehow, I think marketing had a lot more to do with it. With the 206 getting a bit long-in-the-tooth, the suits in the marketing department at Automobiles Peugeot SA wanted something newer and a...
Because Speedvision (now Speed Channel) came under the control of megalomaniac Rupert Murdoch and his axis of evil; AKA-Fox networks.
Soon after getting its meathooks into Speedvision, Fox began to...
My first car was a 1952 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe 4-door sedan.
216.5 cu. in. inline six and three speed manual column shift.
It was a tank of a car that would do 80 mph with the accelerator...
Time is getting tight!
The plan is to built it in the US as the Saturn Curve. Exports to Europe will get Opel and Vauxhall noses but right-hand-drive variants for the UK have yet to be confirmed....
There seems to be a fair bit of confusion in regards to the "new" Focus. This problem is exacerbated by that fact that we have users from all over the world on this forum.
Perhaps I can clear...
European laws regarding pedestrian crash protection go into effect in October 2005. If the car is already on sale before that date, the car will be "grandfathered" in and will be exempted from...
Back in the mid-1990's, CAR magazine reported that Jaguar was seriously thinking of selling a tarted-up Ford Explorer.
One shudders in horror at the very thought!
Thank goodness someone in Coventry...
Also in Lego news, Ferrari recently displayed a full-size Lego F2004 Formula One car capable of supporting the weight of a real Michael Schumacher.
However, I think the car would have a difficult...
The last of the European Ford Scorpios were pretty awful. It was a sort of characterature of faux-American design themes. No wonder Ford killed it and has never offered a replacement.
The North...
The above photo on the left clearly demonstrates why it is important to have a good, strong trailer hitch!

Before the start of the season, I didn't think Michael Schumacher had another championship left in him.
After seeing his performances in Austrailia and Malaysia, I may have to eat those words!...
If the primary impact was on the side of the car (ie- car slid off road in a turn and sideswiped the tree) then the front airbag would not have deployed.
The white object on the driver's seat...
The Riley Elf and Wolesley Hornet were very similar. They both had a boot/trunk tacked onto the back to give the little Mini body the look of a saloon/sedan.
I'm sure that some of the Photoshoppers...
China also still make the second generation (late 1980's) Jetta. They have updated it with a new nose that resembles a mid-90's Passat and new body-coloured bumpers.
Until very recently, the...
Don't forget the Wolesley Hornet. Since the new Mini is already seen as an upscale product, I wonder is there is room for an ever more upscale model, such as a reborn Riley Elf or Wolesley Hornet. ...
Let's hope they don't decide to recreate the Mini Clubman. YUCK!!!
BTW, shouldn't an Italian made Mini be badged Innocenti? Those of you old enough to remember British Leyland's Italian outpost...
Export model (note the left hand drive, unless the photo has been flipped) Caterham Seven. It can't be a Westfield because it doesn't have all of the boy-racer plastic bits stuck onto it and it...
Very nice Alfa in the photo, but those awful whitewall tyres have to go!
Personally, I would probably choose the Alfa 1750 over the 2002. But, both cars were very good, in their own way. I...
I share your love of Alfas. That we can agree on.
But, how can anybody call the BMW 2002 a "s***box"?
The 2002 was an icon that stood head and shoulders above the sea of mediocrity that was...
To give credit where credit is due, you can thank Peugeot for developing the world's first hemisphirical head engine.

The Santana was the Saloon/Sedan version of the second generation Volkswagen Passat, known in America as the Quantum.
It's still being built today in China.
