Car-spotting thread

wow, thats quite a collection....I see a Duesenberg and a V8 Caddy....Judging by hood ornaments. And ya, Duesenberg's were 15,000-$20,000 in 1930 when a model A ford was 3-$500....so they will all have a special story.
Good eye, two Duesenbergs in that collection. Both have been to Pebble Beach as well as France. Leno has visited the collection a few times. The stories of the restorations are nuts, they put more money into a starter motor than I do in some of my Jeep builds - dead serious. I think they had $25k into one of the starters by the time they found it - bought it and rebuilt it.
 
No pictures but a McLaren spun off the road on 287S just before the 202 exit today. Was getting hauled onto a rollback but looked in pretty bad shape. Expensive day. 😕

Started with a few minutes in and need to finish this some day. I didn’t know you had RX7’s. I thought the restart issue on them was from loss of compression from expansion? I have two friends that just picked up RX8’s in the last year and I know that was one of the tests they do when seeing a car. Thought the no start when hot means either bad compression/seals, or more major issues. One of them came from an FD. I love FD’s, just not so much the popcorn maker under the hood. Always thought the LS swapped ones were perfect.
