The Unicorn sighting thread.

This made me chuckle. A 1977 Lincoln Continental MkW 'Cartier'

A bit the worse for wear

I can't remember the last time I saw a Granada, ops, Scorpio on the roads. They make XR4ti's seem common.

Drool worthy. This was in the Lincoln Studio for a few months last year. Just gorgeous.

This did not come out to play. It belongs to Jack Roush, it the 1988 IMSA XR4Ti. Jack said it couldn't come out of the trailer unless there were blue sky's all around and the ground had completely dried. It may have come out later, but I was too busy.

I posted in this thread a few weeks ago that I had seen a Michigan State Police Fox body Mustang driving on I96. I saw this and asked the owner. It wasnt' him, but he says the Police themselves still have at least one.

This is in perfect original condition. Unlike most ex Police Fox bodies it didn't become a bracket racer and modified. the first civi owner kept is stock and between him and this owner they retrofitted all the kit back into it. cool.

Not at work this time. Saw a running driving Saab 900 Turbo owned by a young woman as an only car and DD at the weekend.

You had fun at the PDC car show, apparently. The ones that come to the RIC show are the same every year.

It's all away across the parking lot from you. In fact you may sit closer than I do :)

I spotted this classic parked outside The Plaza Hotel on Central Park South yesterday:

We had a triple white, 1972, small bumper, Lincoln MK 4 at the Lemons show yesterday.

I see one of these in my driveway every day

This weekend was the 'Concours D'Elegance of America' at St Johns in Plymouth Mi. I couldn't go this year, but there were plenty of cool cars around. Friday there was a bunch of cool car opposite my office outside the 'Automotive Hall of Fame' and 'The Henry Ford' museum.

I saw this drive by and went and sought it out. I knew what it was even though I don't ever recall seeing one in the flesh before. De ThomasoLongchamp. i always loved these, simple, elegant 80's style, even though it was launched in 72, it just speaks 80's cool to me. I dont' know the year of this one, but I'd guess it's a latter one based on the color and bumpers. The (I assume) aftermarket wheels don't help age it either.

In reply to Adrian_Thompson:

That is cool.

Definitely a unicorn. Saw 2 NSXs within 24 hours around Oshawa/Pickering Ontario a couple weeks ago, there must have been a meet or something.

Rare, but not so valuable? I campaigned a red (1 of 472) one in Lemons. The parts car was also an SCX/W41 but white (1 of 151).

Neither of those lived to tell their tales.

I knew the SCX W41 was a bit of a rarity, but didn't remember enough specifics and was further intrigued. A bit of online reading had me wishing I'd had taken a picture. Looked like this: per wiki: "Performance.....Awesome.

In reply to Adrian_Thompson:

I see two (TWO) Scorpios around here.

I have no idea, either.

They used to be very common around here. A lot of people are employed by Ford and they had (have?) a policy where you can only park in the nice parking lot if you have a Ford... so if you wanted a BMW you bought a Scorpio.

I always thought of 'em as rear drive Tauruses. Goofy in all the same ways.

Those look a lot like chrome version of the magnesium wheels that came on Panteras. I saw a couple sets at the Italian Happening.

Just saw a Lancia Beta HPE. It's been so long since I've seen one that I had to come back to my computer and look it up to see what it was called. Beta I remembered but HPE was lost in my memory.

I see this unicorn in my driveway every day. Custom Cruisers will never be worth anything, but it's still cool to have one of only 4,347 produced.

I just saw someone floating past in a Citroen SM. Beautifully ugly beast.

Dodge Caravan Turbo. I have two. Also a 91 Shadow ES convertible turbo 5 speed.

Fixed.

BAsed on the Lambo LM002 sighting, I should see it and get a pick in about two weeks time.

Saw this Tracker while out-and-about the other day.

Was at the airport (AVL) picking up some friends yesterday and this.....G63 AMG .......

Illegally parked, I see...
