This should be relatively easy, except the precise model is required. It is one of the most collectable of these cars:


Every one of these was the absolute top of the line, all option cars built of this model.

It's a Mustang II alright, although these cars went by a different name, a very special version. I think they only made these one year and only a few thousand were built. They had everything in them but the kitchen sink that Ford could option in, including T-tops, wheel flares, air dam, special hood decals, blackout trim, etc.

So we are still looking for an ID on this special PintoStang!

EDIT: Only 5000 of these cars were built.

Here is another very rare PintoStang (Mustang II). Submitted for identification.



Some clues as this is a very very rare bird:

Built with Ford's blessing by an outside contractor. The car had upgraded suspension and frame modifications and was powered by a 351 ci engine. There were only 8 of these made.

You know, I forgot all about the Kemp. Here's some info on that car:

One of the few Mustang IIs to hit the track was the Kemp Cobra II run in the IMSA All-American GT racing series in 1976. It used a custom-built space frame that bore no resemblance to the Mustang unibody, and was powered by a 530-horse 351 Cleveland V-8. Builder Charlie Kemp also advertised a hotter street version of the Mustang II, called the Kemp GT, that was to have upgraded suspension and interior with a replica of the racecar body.

This is not a Kemp though. This car retained the Ford unibody and was made by a BIG company partnered with Ford. This car inspired Ford to build the KingCobra street model.

OK, another clue: The other company involved with this car was a maker of shock absorbers.

Of course!!! Renault Alpine! I think Chevy borrowed heavily on the front end design for the 82 Camaro.

They're supposedly reviving it, w/Nissan 350Z undercarriage:

"Renault is to make more of its F1 technology link and revive the Alpine name. It will launch a new high-performance sports coupé within the next two years, according to a story in Autocar.

Front-engined with rear-wheel drive, it'll be the first Renault with this layout since the 1952 Frégate, and the first Alpine since 1995's A610 V6 Turbo. The underpinnings come from Nissan, thanks to the technology transfer arrangement between the two companies.

The report suggests that Renault is still considering whether to base the car on Nissan's 350Z or use a bigger chassis that's still under development. The crucial issue here is price: the smaller car would sell for around £25-30k, while larger one would go for around £40,000 -- where the air is thinner and the sales fewer.

The aim is to fill a gap in Renault's portfolio. Since the demise of the Clio V6, the company has no overtly sporty model, and nothing on the road that demonstrates its F1 investment and expertise. Autocar also reports that Renault boss Carlos Ghosn is impressed by the way that the 350Z has turned Nissan's image around -- in part at least -- and aims to do the same.

It makes sense for Renault to be able to point to a sporty car that includes some F1 technology, even if it's only a paddle shift gearbox. Let's hope Ghosn decides to go ahead with it."

It really isn't fair to post a photo of a unique, highly modified, customized car in a thread like this.
Its an Opel GT, BTW.
Not a very thrilling car to drive - no power, major understeer, economy car brakes, no room inside.
It had Interesting manually operated folding headlights.
Like most Opels, it featured good build quality for its price, though.

Ever seen one of these?


Still waiting for an ID on the Motorcycle. Its not rare, millions of them were sold....

What plane is this?



Hint: It's not entirely what it looks like, take a close look at the tail end of the fuselage.

Good job, the year showing on the plate was kinda irrelivant. I thought people would have a harder time ID-ing a Duster, not as popular as a Cuda or such. You guys are good.
