The Unicorn sighting thread.

In reply to RacerBoy75 :

Looks like some kind of highly streamlined road bike, we must assume the rear hub is a Classified Powershift

Edit: New page, I should post a unicorn...it's not cheating if you run into an MR2 meet by accident, right?

In traffic in Duluth GA. Not sure if its a home built job. The only dually I remember always had a camper over it.

Is this unicorny enough?

it's not every day you see a purple G wagen but when you do, it's like this.

Drivin' a purple G-wagen ain't easy.

Spotted a Tesla semi hauling a nondescript shipping container up Donner Pass today. No pics, I was driving down Donner Pass in a 10 ton rig :)

Also, I overtook three Model As in convoy on I80 across Nevada. They were bookin', too - I don't know exactly how fast, but I'd estimate 55-60 mph. I thought it would be rude to match speeds with them and then accelerate away with the big trailer in tow.

Not sure if this counts, but locally there is a Volvo V50 T5 Wagon with a 6 speed.

Also, I leaned that is is on the same Ford Platform as the Mazda 3.

 

I am super tempted, but alas, I probably want to stay married.

The Mazda 3 and second gen Focus are on the Volvo platform.

The way Ford wanted to do it, they would assign various tasks to the different makes.  Mazda did the four cylinder engines, Volvo did the chassis.

They're neat cars.  The C30s have a crazy following, they are like Mazdaspeed 3s that don't rust.

Haha, man I'd kill for a video or picture of the ModelA convoy! That's awesome 

Kind of cheating, as it was at C&C, but (almost) completely stock, and super clean '89 LX hatch 5.0...

My brother bought one just like that in 92 with 12,000 miles. Such a great all around car

In reply to Rodan :

My father has one pretty much just like it (1990 25th edition 5.0 LX hatch) in his garage (he bought it new).  Not a lot of clean fox bodies left out there, so he's hoping they start climbing in value. 

In reply to rslifkin :

They already have... Notchbacks bring the highest prices, followed by hatchbacks and 'verts.  I was following a 100k mile notchback '92 on C&B recently that was original owner, super clean.  It brought $26k!

My '89 LX was the first car I bought new.  Mine didn't stay stock very long...

In reply to Rodan :

Try to find a '79-82 four cylinder notch at any price.  That has not been V8 swapped.

I didn't realize that LX 5.0 Hatch was a possible combination of words.
A guy in my hometown has an LX 5.0 Notch that is unmoslested and perfect. Love seeing him take his kids to school.

In reply to buzzboy :

Most 5.0s that I saw were hatches, a lot of them were GTs but the LX was nice because it weighed less and was $12,000 not $15,000.  Mostly you paid $3000 for a heavy front bumper and some stickers.

The only time I ever saw a 5.0 notch was in an article about California police cars.   They were out there but really rare.

Ok how about a 1966 New Zealand built Riley Kestrel in Atlanta?
