The red one looks like a Mercury Capri. Maybe a 1970. Not sure about the other one. I’m not even sure I’m right on the red one.

 

I think you definitely nailed the red one. I didn't realize they made the Capri that early. I googled it, and looks like a '73.

 

Red is likely a Capri, other car similar is the English Ford Escort. Yellow looks like a Fiat 850.

 

Thanks! After your reply, I googled again, and it definitely looks like a fiat 850 sport coupe.

 

A friend of mine had one as a teenager. He built it up and held on to it. Last I knew which was about 20 years ago he still had it and he was 45 years old at the time. Had it stashed in his garage as a show piece and memory of his youth. I lost contact with him so I'm not sure if he still has it.

 

The red one is a Ford Capri. It was sold as a Mercury Capri when it came to the US. The V6 version was a real hot rod in its smog-choked day. The yellow one is a Fiat 850 Coupe from the 1960's. Elegant looking little thing.

 

Yes, the red one [Capri] with the V6 is what my buddy had that I talked about above. His was done up in Charcoal with some motor mods. He said it was fast but couldn’t keep up with a stock 240Z which is what he wanted at the time. He was jealous when I talked about the modified 240Z car I had.

 

Couple cars I have had the pleasure to work on.

 

Love that Rolls, 1960’ish.
Do you have any Grey Poupon?

The Caddy is the perfect sleeper.

 

1958 limo addition, rear doors are suicide and is a right hand drive.

Caddy has a record it holds. This is a standing 1/2 mile run.

 

Took the Rolls to a couple car shows, afterwards thought how funny it would have been to have some Great Poupon set inside it lol. Took best of show at one show.

 

Amazing record with that Caddy.

And that Rolls is top notch. I happened upon a 1962 Rolls a couple of months ago. Never got to pick the brain of the owner but this thing looked like an untouched, unrestored original.

 

That Rolls looks amazing also!

 

Saw this sweet 1964 Impala the other day. I was surprised when he opened the hood and there was a 454 transplant nestled in there. Turbo 400 trans with a Ford 9” rear end with 411 gears. Some Mickey Thompson street slicks popped out at me. I questioned the two exhaust side pipes per side. He had electric cut outs that he ran into one of the side pipes instead of having it dump just after the headers. And the skeleton theme running year round and not just because this was a day before Halloween.

I also noticed the missing reverse lens in the middle. He chose to add in an extra running and brake light in it’s spot.

 

It's got 70's-80's Chevy C/S truck brake lights, and looks like a combo of 70's Ford Mustang II, Granada, & Mercury Monarch... I'd drive it around, though. Looks fun

 

Saw this '67-'68 F100/Crown Vic conversion, close to my house in Sept. Fan of Hot Rod Garage...? Check out how snug the interior is.

 

I’d love a FJ Land Cruiser. If I ever become a millionaire and never have to worry about money, first place I’d go is http://fj.co

 

That FJ is sweeeeeet!

“F100 / Crown Vic conversation”
So it’s got a Crown Vic drivetrain as well as the dash? I like the outside of it.
