I can't remember if I saw these back in their time. An EJ Civic NGV conversion. Looks like it's seen some stuff over 23+ years

NGV?

Natural gas vehicle iirc.

This old guy is my hero. 6am, I5 traffic just putting along. My lane was travelling a good 15mph faster than his so I couldn't get better pictures but I've always wanted to see a lowered manx and this is like a 70s shaggin wagon van-esque build of one. So cool.

Looks like the Funky Futura from Ian Roussel of Full Custom Garage. Nice to see that it's actually driven. Very cool!

 

Holy crap! I thought it was a rando home job. That's cool!

I finally get to post a picture on this subject! I have not seen a Datsun Roadster in real life like this since I was 12-14 years old.  This is not the best picture of it.

Was not able to get a pick but I saw a white Alfa 4C and a Fisker Karma, or what ever the new company is called.

I love the sweep in the doors of the karma. Makes it look low and lean to me.

Pretty sure they sold this as the Echo hatchback in Canada, pre-Yaris.

Either way, not legal to import if there was no US version of the car...

I just spotted a freakin green MG RV8 driving though Oak Park on my way home from making groceries. Talk about your deep cuts. I really wish I'd caught a photo.  

A year later, almost to the day, a green RV8 in Oak Park on BaT. I wish I had room for it.

Too far to see what it was, but looked like a Toyota.

Looks like a Galant VR-4 to me. But I'm too lazy to search

I'm not a vw guy by any means, but cool is cool. Evidently super super rare. I've seen some cool things at recent shows/cruises, but that feels like cheating.

Never saw one before and I have been to hundreds of VW. Shows,

 I wonder if it was built in Europe or ?

This morning, I thought I saw an NB Miata coming my way. As it got closer, I thought it was an Aston Martin, which would have been the second AM of the day (because Connecticut).
 

As it passed, I knew both guesses were wrong. I recognized the car, but it took about two hours of sorting through my memory bank to figure out what it was. 
 

Qvale Mangusta. 
 

Only 284 produced.
