Ok petrol heads, just for fun see how many of these cars you can ID. :biggrin:

My brother and his business partner buy, fix and sell old cars here in the UK. I stopped off at their barn today on my way to a job and took these pics. I think they have about 60 old classics ( mostly Yank Tanks :tongue: ) but also a couple of European models.

See how many you can get correct. I'll get my brother to confirm the list and give you the answers tomorrow.

FYI, my favourite is the white supertanker !!:biggrin:

I still think the last one is one of the Buick Tanks but it could be Caddy. So many the later year GM cars used the same body some time it is hard to tell. Looking closer I do see the prancing horse and the emblem behind the tire. The Chrysler 300 could have had a real Hemi or the Big Block 440 with dual 4 barrels depending on the real, can't remember been to long ago.

Guys, I stand corrected, If you look at the Jaguar picture, you will see the rear of the last car and it is a big boat Riviera.

for Xtra credit, I like the BMW 2002 next to the Jag
 
You guys are good, but not perfect, if I'm not mistaken.
So to make it a little more fun, I'll send a prize ( custom pen) to the most accurate answers (make, model, year )and you may get points for naming adjacent cars.
Have fun :)
 
Ok heres my Guess
1) 69 Buick Riviera
2) 72 Dodge Charger
3) 57 Thunderbird
4) late 50's Lincoln
5) Chrysler 300, 62 I think
6) 66 Thunderbird
7) Rover, I think, late 70's early 80's BMW2002
8) Mid to Late 60's Jaguar XKE, looks like a late model Buick Riviera or Cadillac Biaritz behind this Jag
9) Mid to LAte 70's Caddilac with a 71 or 72 Mustang Behind uit

You lose 2500 points for even thinking there may be a Rover in there!!!! :)

Let him think it's a Rover. You and I know better...

How many 2002s has he got in that warehouse? I think I count 2 whites...


Guys, Don't forget the Harley. Look for clues is the 57 Tbird picture...

I had a Porsche like the one next to the Red T Bird back in the day.

Many Many days ago.

It worries me that I can see the R in the Oval on the green Riviera looking at the Jag, but can not find the 1/2" gouge on the workbench.

Mike, you have eyes like an eagle !!! :eek: Yes, there are 2 white 2002's in there. My brother is a nut over BM's. He has a 630 that I would sell my kids for!! He was spraying the bike bike parts when I arrived but I didn't ask what they were.

There was a seriously ugly white Aston Martin Lagonda in the driveway that they have JUST imported back from LA and although it has no rust, the touch control electronic buttons are mostly shot. Man, I have never seen one up close but the quality of the build is absolute crap !!!
I was seriously dissapointed!!! I had the same dissapointment once I saw my first Lambo Countach !! :frown: The blue Buick Riviera from the same import batch is 100% mint!! I love it, and it sounds amazing!!

Keep with the guesses guys. :biggrin:

Not making a guess... But man I have to agree on the ugly land yacht. My first car (used) was an Electra... Take this thing and add 15 inches to it. Definately a boat - and I have no idea why anyone would collect/fix/want one in todays world (especially if it has the 455 gas inhaler under the hood like mine did!)
 
This is too easy.

1. A blue car
2. Another blue car
3. A red car
4. A white car
5. Another white car
6. Another red car
7. A gold car (might be beige)
8. Another blue car
9. A black car
10. A Green Car

On the serious side, I did know the 3rd one.:rolleyes:
 
Hey Dean, that 455 CI engine in the big Buicks sounded like a commode flushing when the 4 bbl carb opened up. Those things got about 2.6 gallons per flush .... I mean, per mile.

Yep... I know... The back barrels of the carb on my car were HUGE! I used to swear it took the pumps longer to put gas back in the tank.

You guys are good and really know your cars. :)

My brother is checking the log books right now and I'll post the list later.
Last chance if you want to change your guesses:)

Good luck!! :)

Cos some of them are wrong and assumptions have been made. :wink::biggrin:


Well actually Terry, your 'answers' were the most surprising !! I honestly never expected anyone from the bush to even know half those USA cars. :tongue:

The main errors were in the Ferrari and the Jag. The clues are in both the number plates:wink:

I'll post what the log books say shortly, but my WiFi signal keeps coming and going and I may be delayed.:rolleyes:
 
OK, here is the list from the log books and other paperwork with those cars. :biggrin:

1. 1964 Buick Riviera 465 Wildcat
2. 1972 Dodge Charger 383 ( Same engine as Jensen Interceptor, not Hemi)

4. 1958 Lincoln Continental Mark 3 drophead
5. 1964 Chrysler 300H
6. 1966 Ford T'bird 428
7. 1973 Ferrari 400 RHD 6 Twin Choke Side Draught Carbs
8. 1971 Jaguar 2+2 Lister 5.8L with 6 twin Dellortos
9. 1972 Buick Riviera Grand Sport Stage 1

I'm not sure on the fairest way to pick the closest and I'm open to your suggestions on who is the winner:biggrin:. :confused:

I had the Ferrari and Jag. 400i is the injected version of the 400 (probably only way the car could get in the states...)
