Old Camaro

New Camaro

 

[Rokovak]

This is currently sitting on a Volvo dealer's lot for $77,900. Very filthy and ragged to hell too. Whomever buys it has to be very, very desperate.

And the CTS-V is just plain fugly. Regular CTS's are way better looking.

 

[C3Vette]

With different grill, the CTS-V would look much better. Too much silver and chrome in the original one.

Saw 2 GT-Rs this weekend (first time in the wild. One was northbound on I93 just north of the NH boarder, other was on Rt9 in Shrewsbury), but only managed to catch one on film. Also saw my first Ferrari in months.

And cars without photos: 2 Challengers, 2 Camaros, and a classic Charger.

Sorry for the shitty iPhone cam pics.

Phew, this is just the first batch from sunday...these weren't totally random sightings because there was this event called Mama's Classics going on, but I didn't have a chance to go and watch it. Happily one of their stops was at the parking lot of a nearby mall where we went for other reasons so I managed to shoot at least some of the participating cars.

And this is an extra, I can't make out the model badge (looks a bit odd, too large?), so any help identifying the correct model is appreciated. Dunno if it's rare or not (or perhaps even "badge carbage").

Well, It does have the G55 side exhausts and the badge..

 

[Ramseus]

I saw one of those motortrike things that James was trying to win in the last America trip, one of those whatsitcalleds, in silver. What an unnattractive vehicle that is. It's like a seadoo with wheels.

 

[shad_68]

You mean a Can-Am Spyder?

 

[Ramseus]

Yeah, that's the one.

It's a Merc G300D (read D for diesel) with some AMG bits and an AMG badge glued on.

 

[nouseferaname90]

And that, my friends, is the reason why if you do AMG mods or M mods to your car, you debadge it.

 

[Raparperi]

^^ So it seems, I just checked the registration info via SMS and it is indeed a 300 GD all the way from 1981. Had me fooled for a moment, especially since that badge was so hard to read from that picture.

 

[Homer_Bart]

At least we now know it's a very well kept G-Wagen

 

[Raparperi]

^ Heh, indeed

Finally finished the rest of the "random" shots. The last half of this lot were shot while driving, but they still turned out rather well (imo)

I almost crapped myself of excitement (well, if exaggerated a bit) when I saw this awesome 911 approaching. Dunno if it's still used for rallying or just these kinds of "neat" classic car events. Whatever the case, it's still beautiful

 

[CraigB]

I have no idea what sort of car this was, I never saw it from the front. Anyone a guess?

To be more specific it's a 1967 Chevy Camaro. First year, you can tell by the wing windows on the doors.

 

[IceBone]

Is this the same car you spotted a few weeks ago on the streets?

 

[Raparperi]

Yeah, it is. I don't think there are that many P1800's in Finland in that color, especially with identical license plates

 

[IceBone]

Well, I don't remember the plate, just the car and paintjob.
