Official Spotted Thread

[nismodrifter]

We all see interesting cars/bikes/motor vehicles on the road, or in a parking lot.

Use this thread as a place to post cool stuff you see.

I'll start...

Was hunting for a parking spot at Richmond Ikea.
Nothing available (usual), but as I drove around this particular vehicle caught my eye.
I ended up getting a spot right up front, with zero chance of door dings (Infiniti!!!).

Went back to snap a pic of the vehicle and the owner was there. We had a lengthy chat. He was an older gentleman but a true car enthusiast.

Check those wheels, Racing Hart C2 three piece!!!

Whats wrong with this picture?

I wouldn't say anything wrong but it certainly appears to be a very custom job - something newer with a tacked on front end. Only thing wrong is the vehicles having front license plates, so ugh.

I do...It's hideous.

[Kloubek]

Looks like a Sterling? Perhaps not; it looks... off. (More than the original Sterling, that is)

Edit: Ahhh... a Sebring, I believe. Very close.

[90_Shelby]

The "door" to get in included the roof, windshield and both side windows.
Spotted in Moose Jaw.

[Kloubek]

Gassed up this morning in front of a sick Land Rover Defender. Took the guy two years to build, with a 95 chassis but apparently all new otherwise. (And I believe him. This thing was pristine, and obviously updated with LED lights and everything else, including a freakin radar-like antenna on the roof)

Interesting to see this pop up on Jalopnik. Apparently it's a Bremen Sebring and some of them had a rotary engine. Weird.

A group of GTR's passed me on highway 2 heading north on Saturday. Guessing they were heading to Edmonton for Driven. Pretty sure at least a few of the guys are on here. The lead car had a gopro mounted on the front passenger fender. I was in my '68 Chevy II. If I'm in a good rolling shot, I wouldn't mind having it :) All the cars looked and sounded great!

[ExtraSlow]

Inspired by the jalopnik series of "survivor cars" I thought I'd share this beautiful Country Squire I found today.

This looks to be the 65-68 sixth generation, and the badge on the fender says it has the 390 cubic inch V8, same engine as my dad's 1972 F250 would have had.

This dude lives somewhere near me, because I see this truck around, but usually too slow to get pics. Love it, so tasteful.

This truck has a super-duty twin too, that I might have pics of. Has to be the same dude, because, it's the same "more-is-more" theme.

[SKR]

I'd like to ask him why he doesn't have chrome windshield wipers. I feel like the stock wipers are really holding this truck back from being on the cover of a magazine.

[K3RMiTdot]

I think he lives in Thorncliffe.

[ExtraSlow]

I think he lives in Thorncliffe.

Must be in that area. That's near me.

[speedog]

I think he lives in Thorncliffe.

He does and right across from one of my daughter's piano student's place. Btw, he has two white Fords done up like this plus a third red Ford that is considerably less ostentatious. The two white Fords are always parked on the street out front with security cameras watching them, the red Ford gets parked out back in the garage.

[ExtraSlow]

Get some pics of his super duty. It's excellent

[speedog]

Double your pleasure...

[ExtraSlow]

I see he's been swapping around the racks. I guess that's a fun hobby. Guy must be a 10/10 awesome dude to drink beer with.

[arcticcat522]

Is that a bike lock around the front tire?

[ThePenIsMightier]

Dem curb feelers, tho...
a.) On driver's side
b.) About 9" higher than will ever be needed.

There is sitting down to pee, and then there's this.

[speedog]

It is a cable lock of some type.

[spikerS]

Please tell me the guy is Philippino! Those remind me of the Jeepnys in the Philippines...

Nope just some old white dude. First house I bought was about 3 doors down from him.

It’s on Trafford Dr if anyone wants to to behold the glory in person.

[ExtraSlow]

Worth a visit. It it truly glorious.

(ok, ok, it's way too small for that but it's what it made me think of)

[4WARNED]

That truck has been listed on kijiji for quite a while now. Wonder what CPS would say about those mudflaps lol.
body swap onto an older K5 blazer/jimmy frame is my guess.

[ThePenIsMightier]

There was a black truck in Edmonton on 99 St near Cessco for years that was honestly like a smaller Monster Truck, LoL! So very far from street legal.

[speedog]

Not a wheeled vehicle but still something neat and relatively rare, a 1970's Peterborough JetStar boat
10.5 feet long, 2 seater and with that 40HP motor it'll do 50-60MPH - I honestly think 60MPH in that little thing would be terrifying.

And no, I didn't take the pictures while driving - I asked my daughter to take some pictures for me.

I thought I was the only one. I have no idea what it says.

Ohhhhhh dropout but a pun. Heheheheh

[rage2]

Saw this today. WTF is it?

93607

[speedog]

Something with a rather not nice body kit on it. Thought maybe a 300ZX but the rear side window profile at the base looks wrong.

[ExtraSlow]

Fiero

Must be a total turd of a vehicle...

On its way to Auto Value with an AMA truck following closely behind...

Lol at the Fino kit Fiero. Many years ago I wanted a v8 swapped Fiero something fierce. I did some investigating and found those kits being sold. Thought they looked pretty awesome and would complete the overall package

I was wrong. Most elements of that are butt ugly.

What ever happened to that guy?

I saw that Bentley at the Sev on Northmount that closed down a few months ago, it was absolutely haggard. I recall zip ties holding things together.

[mr2mike]

Recession rides, bro. Ballers still gots to ball.

[ExtraSlow]

I didn't look that close. Still worth more than my fleet.

I wouldn't be so certain, a beat Conti GT can be had for $40k or less.

That's an extremely rare 612 Scaglietti complete with its V12 and room for four humans. You will not likely ever see another one of those. Great spotting!

[nismodrifter]

Nice spot on that 612. Baller.

[tha_bandit]

Nice C36, i need to clean up my opera II’s

[beyond_ban]

The 612's design was universally disliked when it released and could be had for a bargain on the used market. Their prices have stabilized a bit but they still provide great value for a V12 Ferrari.

[ExtraSlow]

Drag car, looked sweet rolling down deerfoot. Look at those rear tires.
