Triumph GT6,a couple of Dodge Challengers,65 Ford Galexie,911/12,66 T Bird,356,56 Chevy Belair, Volvo 245.
You are seeing ‘Cudas, not Challengers. Close!
Not a 56 Bel Air. It’s actually a Model 210..
1970 Norton 750 Commando Roadster
I believe it is a ’63 Galaxie…………..
not one picture of a pre ’75 Lotus……….humm………..come on Dan…………get to snappin’
Actually it’s either a 66 or 67 Galaxy 500 convertible…
The Galaxy in question is the blue one with the 427 badge in the third picture.
Definately a’63.
Could it be one of the nascar homologation models?

I can’t find the pictures that Bob saw the Alfas in…what is going on here?
Are people calling the yellow convertible a Galaxy? It says Thunderbird right on it..
I’ve heard of an Alfasud before, but that’s the first Alfashrub I’ve ever seen!
Let’s see what I can ID Here…
Triumph GT6
1971 Plymouth Cuda in Sassy Grass Green
Plymouth Barracuda with 1970 AAR Cuda hood
1963 Ford Galaxy with 427 FE
Porsche 911 or 912
1963 Ford Thunderbird
Porsche 356
1956 Chevrolet 210 Del Ray
1967 Ford Mustang Fastback with inline six
Same Mustang on Flatbed
1980’s Porsche 911
MG TD Kit car (I think it has Pinto Mechanicals)

Alfa Romeo Gulia
MG A
1956 (?) Cadillac Sixty Special
1970-72 Buick Skylark Convertible
Pair of 1961 Ford full size cars
1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Rallye 350
1964.5 or 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback (inline six powered)
Same Mustang as above
1957 Cadillac Coupe De Ville
1963 Ford Thunderbird from earlier but with dirt stripes.
The Skylark rag is a ’71. The ’70s didn’t have the grilles in the bumper, the ’72s had more pronounced squared-off light bezels, and the grilles were recessed around the left and right margins. My first car was a Stratomist Blue ’71!
I was thinking it was a 1971-72 because of the grille, but wasn’t certain I was right. I’m sure I am off a bit on some of the others too, but I was doing it off memory, boredom and insomnia after a night of pizza delivery.
That red MG (unless I’m missing something) is a TF, which happens to be my favorite of that series (TB-TF). I wasn’t aware that a fiberglass kit was available for that model.
It was a guess based upon the white color showing through and a total lack of rust for a car that has sat that long. I figured the white was a gelcoat and the cheap red paint was peeling off of it due to poor prep work by a kit builder that was done before sending the body off to a volume paint shop like Maaco. Then again… I could be wrong. I just like trying to solve the mystery of cars like this when I see the pictures. By no means do I think I am always right.
usually the kits don’t have real wire wheels, I think it’s a genuine TF.
@Jim-Bob: you must have missed my previous post above. That is clearly no Triumph motorcycle, it’s a 1970 Norton Commando Roadster. To us, that would be like identifying a Camaro as a Mustang.
The red alfa coupe is a 2000. The ferny spider is a giulietta or a giulia, can’t tell but it makes for a nice garden feature. I can’t choose between the black Cadillac and the red Porsche. Very nice pictures, Dan.
In the US it was called a GTV

The ALRo GTV is later then 68, 68 had a step nose, smaller tail lights, smaller round side markers & no badge on the c pillar, this one looks to be early 70’s.
