I saw an Austin Healey 100 6 Factory endurance race car in a shop. It is in excellent condition with all the factury mods in place. I did not take a picture because owner was not present. As rare a this is, I am sure he would not want attention drawn to it or the shop.

Yeah we honestly thought it might have been a movie prop till someone googled it.

Spotted the worlds most expensive SUV (one of nine) on a flatbed on 95 North near Florence SC yesterday, Karlmann King.
3.8 million dollars and they couldn't afford an enclosed transport? Just a run of the mill freight flat bed? Something smells fishy.

I mean, it's just an F550 with a body kit that thinks it's batman... Was riding with another random tow truck.

Figured out where it was going

No pics, but last Friday in Wilmington, NC I saw a Pugeot 504 on the road. Had a neighbor who had one back in the 80's.
Yesterday I saw a Hillman Imp in downtown Monroe, MI.

The reason for non-enclosed shipping could be that it is too wide to fit inside anything.

$3.8 million and it will only go 87 mph. I hear people can build fast cars for as little as $2000.
Just saying....

Some cars are rare because nobody wants them. Some are rare because they are expensive and only produced in limited numbers. That thing is a double unicorn.
In reply to T.J. :
It is a unicorn.
Sorry if my comment seemed negative. It was meant to be lighthearted.
“I know what I’ve got” “I’m going to fix it up someday”.
Unicorn, and I still want it.

I'd so want to Miami Vice that out and maybe even add the fake Testarossa vents .
Saw a Renault Twizy right in front of the office yesterday. It's surprisingly small, like a 4-wheeled enclosed scooter. Apparently a local dealership that specializes in EVs is bringing them in. Not my pic, but like this one:

No worries. I didn't think you were being negative. I was attempting to also be lighthearted.
I had heard the Chevy Colorado /GMC had a diesel avaliable but this is first one I have seen.
Saw a nice Colonnade- era Chevy at Summit this weekend.
The guy happened to walk up and drive it away shortly after I got out of my car. Sounded GOOD, like it had a nice high compression mill with a big cam, and it was muffled down to the point where it was livable, so it sounded like a big happy popcorn popper.
Honda StepWGN Spada? Never seen one of these before:
Here's how they look from the front (not my pic):

I so want a Colonnade Chevelle like that. I’d also consider a late-Colonnade Olds Cutlass as a consolation prize. The movie Drive made me want one of these even more.
Saw a mint one of these the other day. Same color but not this one. In other parts of the country they may not be unicorns, but is SE Michigan I can't remember the last time I saw one, let alone as mint as the one I saw. I must admit I'd forgotten what a handsome well proportioned cars they were.
Even in my little town filled with brodozers and prii, every once in a while something good pops up.

Is that a parking ticket under the windshield wiper?
In reply to russde :
It appears to be. Well spotted. No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.
