1979 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

1977 GMC Vandura 2500

1973 Dodge Tradesman 200 Camper

What really gets me with this one is the white painted grill.

1972 Triumph GT6 Mk III

1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500

I first found this car on a busy street downtown. I got a few pictures, then the owner arrived. I complemented her on her car, and told her it was too bad I could not get any more pictures. This happens more often than I'd like. And off she went. I could not beleive my luck when I happen upon the car again in the next neighbourhood a half hour later. Only #4 and #5 are pictures I took in the first location.

Love how the colour of the grille is subtly matched to the interior. At the time I didn't notice the well used "FIRE MISSILES" button and the brass SCCA plaque on the dashboard.

1978 Pontiac Firebird

Despite it's TransAm pretentions, I think this car started life as a more humble model. It doesn't have the front airdam or ugly fender vents. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry and only got a few shots. When I came back later it was gone, and I haven't seen it since.

1979 Mercedes Benz 280CE

A Collection of Renault 8 Gordinis, 1968-1970

So in the previous post we saw a really great Fiat 500. Now we see the real passion of the fine gentleman I spoke to.

He used to (maybe still does!) campaign Renault 8 Gordinis locally, down in Washington State, and probably elsewhere. First up, a beautiful 1968 example, which is in just as fine a shape as the Fiat. The next looks to be a 1970, though I may be mistaken. I was a little constrained in taking these pictures, so there are only a few of the final Gordini.

The owner was very patient with my desire to get pictures, and I thank him for his kindness.
