I hope it does, it's a cool looking car. And I stand by my position, I love Outlaw Porsches.

The word render is used loosely. A render is usually digital, and the picture in question is a retouched photo (using Photoshop). It was shopped around to everyone that would listen and never came to fruition (that I know of).

1928 Martin Aerodynamic -- only one built

You decide if it's cool or not, but you can't say it isn't funny!

I hope this is home made... will have to hunt down a different angle.

I can't figure out the model year on this Pontiac GTO sticker. 1960s for sure, I think.

Note that power steering was optional and that this car did not have air conditioning.

It is a 1965 model, per the VIN number.....

And it's a LeMans....with the GTO package.
"The Pontiac LeMans became available with the GTO performance package in the 1964 model year. Initially, the GTO was an option package on the LeMans, and later became a separate Pontiac model from 1966 through 1971."

Meanwhile in Zimbabwe...

Here's another window sticker...this one from a '64 Galaxie with the drag package and the dual 4bbl "top oiler" 427 (its last year). A 90 day drivetrain warranty, and charges for deleting the heater and seatbelts...plus a warning to "step on the gas--but easily".

A restored 1958 Ferrari 250GT Cabriolet looking good. The cabriolet was the "luxury" Ferrari, although in '58 that did not include power steering or brakes or air conditioning. (Air conditioning on a convertible? That's just crazy talk!) The 3-liter V-12 was claimed to produce 240 horsepower, but the reality was closer to 200. 40 of these first series of cabrios were built.

1997 Toyota Supra Turbo in Royal Sapphire Pearl over Ivory leather.

1990 Honda CRX Si.

[NSXR]

Hard to get more iconic than this 1984 Ferrari 308 GTSi QV. Shades of Magnum Pi.

[NSXR]

And now a classic 993, with a great signature.

I owned 2 of these. Great commuter car. And the first one I had was one of the only brand new cars I ever bought.

2 CRX's and a 993. You seem to have great taste. Would you say the list of cars you've owned is interesting?

[NSXR]

I know I just posted a Ferrari, but this '91 348 that's now on BaT is probably affordable, and I'd love to have it. 45K miles is a lot for a Ferrari, and it's definitely rough around the edges, but would make a great project car.

There's no such thing as a cheap Ferrari. A clutch on a 348 is good for 20K miles for example, maybe more if you're careful. As much as I love the older models I think I'd opt for something 2005 or newer; they've actually gotten a lot more reasonable in terms of cost of ownership and general reliability.

I think maybe if one studies, and is mechanically inclined they could own an older Ferrari, but you'd definitely need to get your hands dirty on the regular.
