The Cool, odd and unusual car pics thread...

[ocnblu]

When I sawr that red Corvette #86, well... I don't smoke, but I need a cigarette.

[Turbojett]

it is a pretty sexy beast.

[Turbojett]

Bump.

Have I mentioned lately just how much I love Splittys?

[A Horse With No Name]

Keep it coming, I love split windows as well...

[A Horse With No Name]

And today's content...Chryco concept cars that were wicked cool...

[A Horse With No Name]

Italian re bdied Mustang first gen fastback that later came up missing...45 years later, it still has never been found...

[A Horse With No Name]

A couple for cubitar, as he shares my love of racing and Porsche...

Since I have a serious old truck fetish as well...

You guys knew you wouldn't get through one of my car pic posts without more vintage Mustang fastback content...right?

[A Horse With No Name]

As a lover of vintage BMW as well as a GM lover...I liked this...

Back to some GM content...

[A Horse With No Name]

Okay, so I love the unusual...

[Turbojett]

Ah, that's a Tyrrell! I have never actually seen one of those. I always wondered how the six-wheeled layout worked.

[Turbojett]

And I too, love vintage Bimmers.

Namely Das Batmobil!:

...and for those of us who like our E9's clean (and can appreciate fine art):

^ What's with the round wheel well & the squared wheel well? That crap drives me nuts.

[Turbojett]

never noticed that before...but I can't say it bothers me so much, considering how gorgeous the rest of the car is. Like a beautiful woman with two different color eyes.

...actually scratch that metaphor. that's sexy.

[ocnblu]

I think David Bowie has two different color eyeballs. We'll have to ask Mick Jagger.

I actually kind of like it on that car...

[Robert Hall]

I love the styling of those late '50s-early '60s sports cars like the BMW 507 and Ferrari California....fantastic proportions, and so obviously RWD...

[balthazar]

I'm gonna have to call those mismatched wheel wells an industrial gaff.

Those ferraris are nice, they have good proportions, they're just kinda bland/generic, IMO.

To each his own.

Smokey's "13" is a sweetheart.

What's goin' on with the chrome piece over the grille on the CTS race cor?

[A Horse With No Name]

I always did like the earlier 50's stuff better than the later 50's stuff...I really, really like this next pic. I think its just awesome...

And yes I still have a fetish for green cars.

Smokey's "13" is a sweetheart.

Looks like it is coming loose...

[A Horse With No Name]

More green of the type I can dig...

[ocnblu]

Cool VW, I forget what they're called. Dude's losin' his drawers with the mohawk there.

I like how it has some of the same design language as the Corvair we both love so much....

No cartpics thread is complete without Mustang Fatback pics....

I can pretty much enjoy any vintage car being respectfully beaten upon

Water cooled 911 almost ranks with Muira and Jag E type as being one of the best looking cars ever, methinks.

Oops, I meant to say air cooled, although I love the Water Cooled 9111s also...another A C pic

This car just does it for me on so many levels its not even funny.

I love about anything open wheeled and roadster ish, but then again you guys already know that...

[A Horse With No Name]

Very rare (963 built) Edsel two door wagon...Camino, are you out there?

I have no end to automotive lust, and I love the Patina on this thing...

Another version of the same bodystyle....

[A Horse With No Name]

More Green, more 1950's

More Green...

one for Balthzar...

Another Green Merc...

Greyish green, but still hot...

Don't know if I posted this pic before, but the 55 Chevrolet is still freakin hot IMHO...I just love it as a two door post...

GMCTG, you out there..

A blue buick of blu...

Mopre Merc...I love these, although I love the Cougars better as far as Mercs go...

:pbjtime:

For Camino

We'll kill the mood with the Euro stuff but I love the pic...

[A Horse With No Name]

More blue, 1970....

Okay, so I still am a Miata guy at heart also...

[A Horse With No Name]

Okay, more car lust...

[ocnblu]

That little battleship with the hood mesh and red wheels is in some way wicked!

[balthazar]

[Turbojett]

American Motors! Eff Yeah!

[A Horse With No Name]

Thank you, thank you, thank you...

I grew up in Wisconsin and was a fan of American motors as a kid....

Always liked this concept.

[A Horse With No Name]

...and the red white and blue Javelin is one of my fav. race color schemes ever....

I also like

But the American Motors Javelin...WOW....\

This thing just screams get in, sit down, and drive me...HARD...

Before I forget it, cool link to the Trans Am Javelin...

http://www.fantasyjunction.com/cars/773-AMC-Javelin%20Trans-Am-V8#

Maybe this should be in the curves section instead?

Sigh...now that I'm looking at photographs of old race cars...

Hornet brings back memories because my wife's family had one when we started dating...she was 18, I was 19....that's a while back...

Obviously there's was not red white and blue...

Guy I knew bought one of these brand new back in the day, sadly he died of cancer about ten years ago or so...

[balthazar]

The BMW (bttm of post #184) reminded me of the Javelin's roof spoiler, so I went looking. The javelin's is factory, is BMWs, and who had it first?

I still think the AMX/2 is about the most beautiful sports car design ever:

Edited July 14, 2012 by balthazar

[A Horse With No Name]

Balthazar, you and I could agree on the AMX 2 design...simply fabulous!

One more vintage Javelin pic and then I will quit...but my automotive lust seems to know no bounds.

THANKS for the pics Balthazar...

[Turbojett]

I love those first generation Javelins too. The second gens were alright, but they lost that charisma th early ones had.

OBTW, found this. figured after I picked myself up off the ground, I'd post it.

Holy Moley that's gorgeous. So simple and clean.

[A Horse With No Name]

I really like the later cars also, though...

And turbojett...I might have to ban you from this thread for my own self good...

(note the sarcasm please...)

I am seriously going to loose sleep tonight over that last red Javelin you posted....

That thing is effin SWEET...OMFG!

(And no sarcasm about the loosing sleep part....that thing is BEAUTIFUL!) :thumbsup:

[ocnblu]

That red-orange Javelin Turbojett posted, are those "Minilite" wheels? It is one SEXY American.

Edited July 14, 2012 by ocnblu

[A Horse With No Name]

I believe so, blu.

[Turbojett]

but wait, there's more!

As a joke, Hot Rod Magazine ran a story about the return of AMC, offering up a whole lineup of wonderfully done concepts. Alas, that lovely Javelin vert, Matador, Ambassador, AMX coupe and AMX/4 are painfully not real:

There was also a Gremlin and a Pacer, but I'll spare you.

Here's the story instead:

I remember the story, and knew right away it was fake...

But really good design, IMHO.
