vulgalour Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Time for another dump of stuff in here then. Let's see what you can figure out. 100 - this one has been really bugging me, as it happens.Hand-built Russian car probably based on an Opel Rekord. http://izismile.com/2011/06/25/brilliant_russian_man_builds_his_own_sleek_car_37_pics.html - Mercrocker for the link and AMCRebel for identifying any part of it. 101 - familiar shape, but I can't pull it out from the recesses of my memory. I'm guessing something like a Lincoln or Oldsmobile.1967 Cadillac Eldorado - Asimo, Junkman 102 - I think these are all Ford Falcons, maybe mid-60s?1962 Ford Falcon Wagon - Junkman 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint hardtop - Junkman 1961 Ford Falcon Wagon - Junkman 103 - Chevy, or Pontiac? Something else?1964 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe - Junkman 104 - Another familiar shape that I can't place. Buick perhaps?1959 Ford Country Sedan - Junkman, davocano 105 - 50s Chevy or Plymouth? I can't decide.1949 Chevrolet - Junkman 106 - No idea. Something 60s. Sunliner?1960 Oldsmobile 88 Holiday - Junkman 107 - Ford again? I'm rubbish at these, they all look the same to me :/1956 Ford F-100 - Junkman 108 - I suspect Invicta or Electra.1960 Buick Invicta Hardtop - Junkman 109 - There's what look like Chevy bowties on the hubcaps, but it seems a bit small and looks a bit like an Opel or Toyota. Stumped on this one.1969/1970 Chevrolet Opala - Barrett, Junkman Bit custom heavy in this batch, not very Autoshitey, just happens to be what's at the top of my stack. Usefully stuff that's been identified before has helped me clear some others I didn't know, so a dozen answers in here can often help identify several dozen in my reference folders.

vulgalour Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Yes, but what IS IT? I had to convert it from a bmp file. Who even uses bmp files online? It was a recent accidental find and had no info attached. Folks in the background looked dressed for the later 70s or early 80s, that's really the only clue I have. Maybe the tyres hint at America?

Asimo Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 101 Cadillac Eldorado, '67-70. Been on my want list for nearly 50 years. edit- I think the rear side reflectors indicate an early one. Needs more springs though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrett Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Are we sure the yellow thing is real? I know that's a lame response when faced with a car one has never seen before, but surely we would know about that if it was an actual thing? ps - 109 is one of those Brazilian-built Chevrolet Opalas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMC Rebel Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 100 has the look of a Cavalier 2/Ascona C/Isuzu Florian ASKA (the doors and esp the handles)from side on. I was wondering if it might be a Bitter given their Opel tie-up - but Google says no. Edit - Mercrocker beat me to it as I was typing that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 I am officially impressed. No wonder I couldn't figure out that yellow one! What an amazing bit of man-in-sheddery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 110 - That looks like a Lada badge on the front so I'm guessing it's a concept car of theirs. Can't find anything else on it, often don't have much luck finding stuff on Russian cars. 111 - I'm being lazy on this one, so it's an easy score for someone. I can see it says Comet on the back so I can probably guess it. 112 - Genuinely no idea. 113 - Plymouth? 114 - Daihatsu? 115 - Not a clue. 116 - No idea here either. I reckon I'd know it from a different angle. 117 - This had better not be an Econoline, the van I can never identify. 118 - This one is a Ford, I think, I want to say either a Sunliner or a Victoria... Junkman will know. 119 - Can't decided between a Datsun or a Toyota for this one. Maybe it's neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 116 is a Lambo Miura, and that American custom van (117) is a Chevrolet G20, aka a yank Bedford CF. 113 is a Plymouth Barracuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 119 is Epic. I used to see lots of seventies Japanese coupes driving around Christchurch in the early 2000's. NZ has a good JDM scene, lots of older Japanese cars still pootle around in good condition because they don't put salt on their roads. Not unusual to see sixties and seventies cars with smokey engines and faded paint but minimal rot. I still think there is money to be made shipping older cars from there to here where the parts and shells could be worth decent coin. For example this is about £400...and an awful lot more solid than one that had been living here. And it has the advantage of being RHD Buy it and trailer it back. Now that would be an epic thread!
