GTCC #50

[93JC]

Is it at least a domestic?

Not gonna answer that. It was sold in the States, and was, for a portion of its lifetime, built in the '70s. Those narrow it down a lot.

[93JC]

It's not a Jensen, it IS a regular production model, and it's not a Lamborghini Miura.

[Raza]

Plymouth Superbird.

[Lorinser]

Bricklin?

[BMWDave]

Plymouth Superbird.

I dont think so, from the pictures I've seen the interior is very different.

[Run Away]

Bricklin?

That was the only thing that came to mind for me too, but I googled it and it's not that.
I have no idea what it is.

[TBR]

Time for some hints

[Rupert]

Is it a TVR?

[oilfilter]

yeah, give a hint.  

[93JC]

It's not a Plymouth Superbird, it's not a Bricklin SV-1, and it's not a TVR.

Hint, eh? I don't think you guys deserve a hint, but: it's a mainstream car sold within the last 30 years.

like I said, its an '80s GM...maybe  

[oilfilter]

Pontiac Grand Prix?

[93JC]

Nope, not a Pontiac Grand Prix.

[93JC]

like I said, its an '80s GM...maybe

I also said it was made in the '70s.  

(calendar year in the '70s, now that I think about it. They might not have been sold in a '70s model year)

[TBR]

Buick Riveria

[93JC]

Nope, not a Buick Riviera.

[TBR]

Nope, not a Buick Riviera.

I wouldn't think so, that was a complete guess.

Is it that Plymouth sedan that was apparantly sold only in purple? (I have never seen one in another color)

[93JC]

Plymouth sedan in purple...?  

[93JC]

C'mon boys, is this the best you can do? We've already gotten 49 of them right, but you can't get this 50th one?!

Think damnit, think!

Made in the calendar year '70s for part of its lifetime (so probably early '80s... ), domestic make, sold (only) in North America, not any of the guesses you've made as of yet....

[oilfilter]

Ok wild guess here: Stutz Bearcat/Blackhawk?

[93JC]

Report?!?!?

:angry:







It's not a Stutz. (It's a mainstream car)

[crv16]

This sure is a tough one.  It looks corvette-ish.

Is the manufacturer still in business, and is the model still in production?

[Secret Chimp]

The first Mustang Cobra?

[TBR]

Plymouth sedan in purple...?

Well if I knew the name of it I would say it, but I don't and there really aren't any resources on old pile of crap cars to figure it out from.  

[TBR]

The first Mustang Cobra?

Doubt it, from the sound of it was introduced in the late '70s.

Not a problem. That was the first post that I've recieved a report from, so it was interesting to see how that worked.

[Laconian]

That climate control system is so late 70s/early 80s GM.

[93JC]

The manufacturer is still in business.

The model is no longer in production.

It is not a Mustang Cobra, or any other Mustang for that matter.


As for the purple Plymouth sedan, the only Plymouth I can think of that was even offered with purple paint in the last 30 years was Prowler. Perhaps you're thinking of Plymouth Horizon (a hatchback), which was offered in a dark red/maroon, or Plymouth Reliant, which was offered in the same colour.

Pontiac Le Mans?

[93JC]

Not a Pontiac LeMans.
