Bugatti Gran Prix racer from the 1920's

edit: the wheels look funny. Is it a replica?

edit again: definitely a replica.

But you're bending the rules. A replica of a French car, built on a German donor? Still if you say it was built here, that's fiar.

It’s a 1927, definitely not stock.

1927 Type 35b replica by Classic Motor Carriges? Definitley VW power, you gave it away with the last pic. Unless it's had an engine swap....


Oh, that IS an early Beetle front suspension!

Pontiac Firebird with the OHC six.

Yep, more Pontiacs!

Agree, it's a Pontiac OHC Straight-6. How about this one?

It looks really well done, but if I'm not mistaken, it looks like the engine is in the back? I'm curious why the creator of this car would go through all the hassle when it's still rear-engined? It seems it would make more sense to start off with a car that was front engined / rear wheel drive...

Thank you, but I loose it in the eighties. I like the old stuff, but I am better with old motorcycles.

Old motorcycles can be works of art... some are easier to identify than others. All are to be appreciated.

Easy one. Uncle bought one brand new.

80's you say. Try this then.

(Rover?)

I would have thought Rover as well. However this is not a Rover.

I know what it is, but can't for the life of me remember what the heck it was called

1982 AMC Concord Sundancer convertible (already identified on page 3)

OK. I know what it is now, but I cheated.

Laforza!

If I am right, it has something in common with the Pantera

edit: cat's out of the bag

That correct. The LaForza is powered by a Ford 5.0. It has Range Rover good looks and Ford Power, and cheap as heck.

I kinda dig them. I saw them in the late eighties and thought they were way cool.

Here is a showroom condition for $5,950 OBO.

These were common when I was a kid. I knew a girl in high school who had one, nicknamed "Oblio"

Renault Dauphine? I'd forgotten all about those.

Yes, and the convertible is a '67 442. A beautiful car. I used to have a '66 Cutlass, I still miss it.

I really like tha cobalt blue color too. I think 67 was the last year for cars without side marker lights.
