mazda 323 wagon! didn't see any rust. also a late 70's ford pickup. |
|
| coming home from work, I saw a couple old furriners. First, a mid-1980's Nissan 300Z, the 2+2 style. Burgundy color. Looked like it was still in decent shape. Also saw one of those little early 70's BMW hardtops. The 3.0 CS or whatever it was called? Wasn't pristine, but wasn't a beater either...just looked like a decent daily driver. | |

I waved at you, but your eyes were focused on the car.

Here's an odd duck, and a seller with high expectations: Citroen Wagon |

Right, it wasn't me. You described my car correctly, though, if you consider a 1988 to be a mid-1980s. The Z31 generation included the 1984-1989 model years. |

This is Auction Week in Scottsdale, AZ and I've seen more wonderful old cars than I could possibly describe to you. I'll try to post pictures and/or links as I get around to downloading them. I would like to mention one because I've admired pictures and descriptions of it for a very long time. I still have the Road & Track 1962 Road Test Annual with their road test of the Maserati 3500GT Vignale Spider where I first saw a photograph of the car that was similar to this one (except in B&W)>  I even recall the subhead of the article "A Modenese Masterpiece for the Touring Enthusiast". Today I saw one for the first time and I was not disappointed, it's every bit as pretty as a Ferrari 250 California and a little more agressive looking. Pix of the black beauty I saw in a few days. I still have two or three more auctions to do but I doubt I'll see anything more impressive to me than that Maser.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 14, 2009 5:00 pm) That's Ferrari money isn't it? The car did have chromed wires which I have not seen before, except on the car pictured above. I don't recall if it had 5-speeds but the placard said the car was a pre-production prototype, MY 1960. I didn't notice any details that were different from the production version but then again I've never seen an actual production Vignale Spider and as you know production versions of these high zoot Italian jobs often had different details even within a given model year. While we're on the subject, I wish I could've gotten a look at the DOHC 3.5L I-6>  Now that's a MOTOR!
