I saw a light blue Maverick 2 door...one of the late ones with huge bumpers. But what I was struck by was the car had blackwall tires...and black wheels...and dog dishes. It made the car look painfully plain...Almost as if Ford was punishing you for getting the stripper....I thought,"An import company would've painted the wheels silver". I think little things like this opened the door for Honda and Toyota..

Replying to: au1994 (Oct 09, 2009 8:41 am) Yeah, I also saw some with what looked like the Shelby tailights, but they also might have been the 'California Specials', which were just trim jobs on regular Mustangs, not so much of a loss. |

The greater Vancouver area has now been uploaded to Google Earth Street View. I was bored and looking around at a few locations I know well, and in the process saw both a Nissan Figaro and an old style Mini just parked or in traffic. I think that counts.

Replying to: boomchek (Oct 09, 2009 12:17 pm) I should put up some pics of the odd cars I see. I know the 63 Impala that has been languishing in a driveway on my grandmother's street as long as I can remember is featured, too. |

OK, as I am a dork with some time to kill, here are some obscure street view cars: Figaro (and I guess the E30 is uncommon too): Mini: Old Nissan wagon: And the Impala:

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 08, 2009 4:55 pm) they should probably just sell tickets to mustang fans to take a tour. it does look like the maroon convertible still has the monroney sticker on the window. i read through the comments where the story was posted and someone posted that since there were a number of shelby's, the vin tags could be harvested. i am guessing someone will buy the lot, grab the valuable pieces and leave the rest behind. |
