I swore I would never buy a new car but damn these are tempting me. A lot. I'm going to have to make a trip to the Ford dealer when they come in.

A B21B.  Unusual to see outside of a boat.

On further inspection, the black valve cover suggests B230B.

 

Seller has it listed as a B230f with double Strombergs, ported and polished (I think it's a 531-head) and a hot cam. It doesn't really matter, since you pretty much trip over hot B230 engines on your way to the supermarket over here. I might put some bike carbs on it just because... I love bike carbs.
 

Looks like nobody picked up that the Opel-part of this unholy union is (was? Used to be?) an actual Ascona B - a car that nowadays is a huge cult-car that actually go for real money (Well... not the one I'm buying, obviously). Y U ruin classic?!

What cars are these?

Semi related

In reply to Torkel :

It used to be a B230F.  Now it has two carbs, so it's a B230B. 

Arcane Volvo engine naming is one of the things taking up perfectly good brain space I could use for something useful, like the name of that customer who just walked through the front door...

Quoted for quotes sake because we already have a 6sp FJ to do this with but my brain still wants the manual 2 door Bronco. I can't think of a more redundant vechicle combination than an FJ and a Bronco. Not mine, but you get the idea.

Well you have a 4x4, v6, 2 door, 6 speed. But you don't have a 4x4, v6, 2 door, 7 speed. 
I see no redundancy. 

Wanted to get some winter car prep done .... didn't get to happen

Okay then.

Looks like device is UN*X based, iirc those systems start time on 1/1/1970 vs IBM-PC based 1/1/1980.  Which will be fun in 2038 when the bitfield runs out of seconds and overflows.

Meanwhile, at Midtronics:

I know it wasn't the world's greatest aircraft, but I have a soft spot for P-40s.

The outfit I'm ripping these pics from has great shots of some really rare stuff.

Two-seater variant in a paint scheme I've never seen.
