After consulting with a well known Texagspert, there doesn't appear to be a thread for posting cool and unique stuff that we are excited to see in the vehicular wilderness.

Spy a 1994 Dodge Neon? Throw a pic of that little bugeyed cutie here!

I'll start things off with a Mexican/Chinese Hybrid.

Nissan Stagea (RHD) - Never seen one before but their starting to get imported since theyre hitting the 25 year mark. Pretty cool.



Opel GT (1970?) - The "Mini-Vette", I wouldn't be surprised to see these start climbing in value.

Driver looks dead, bro. The hood got some meteorological love at least.

This 87 Zimmer with 19k. miles popped up on Marketplace in the last few days.






There's also a really cool 14k mile Bricklin SV-1 for sale

That Zimmer is pretty clean!

If that Bricklin is a 1974 w/ the T-10 4 speed that might be a fun project for the right price. Neat car!

Maybe it's not an "automobile" but I think it still qualifies. I don't know much about armored tanks but I assume it's WWII? My brother said it was a fake cake...

People have said that about Opel GTs for decades. Stop trying to make fetch happen.

M4A1 Sherman. One of the the most, if not the most, widely produced tanks in WWII.

My Dad owned a convertible version when he was stationed in England. This is a pic of it with my Mom and older brother circa 1956-57

2009 Holden Ute w/1000hp recently popped up on FBM. I've always wanted one of these. It's even in the best color

I remember lusting after these when I first saw the Pontiac "El Camino" concept. And then my beloved car brand got axed by the General.

It looks like this one has the pontiac front fascia on it. I'm thinking it was sold in Canada originally since its LHD. Very cool.

I'm guessing it's a converted G8. That's how the first "Utes" available here were imported.

I've owned my 06 GTO since 2010. Doubt I ever sell it even though I own nicer/newer cars. They were such a great value for the era and still feels like a muscle car when driving.

The 2024 Car and Driver troll from GM about reviving Pontiac and the Trans Am was cruel.

Ahhh, I hadn't considered the G8 conversion.

Great year! That LS2 6.0L is an amazing platform. I don't blame ya for not wanting to sell, but if you ever do let me know please! I think their resale values are really starting to go up the last few years based on exactly what you said.

Speaking of Ponchos, I need to get out and show my 66 Lemans some love.= )

I hope they do. I sold my sonic blue KB 03 Lightning for the GTO. Lightning would have been the better vehicle to keep. I bought the GTO with 980 miles in 2010 off of a shady Craigslist post. It has 54k on it now. Been a great car. The Holden parts are getting very scarce. I've had to import a few pieces from Australia.

Looks great! Is that Phantom or Jet Black? I hardly ever see a black GTO around here. Impulse Blue was really popular here in the Fort Worth area.

Phantom w/red interior. I think impulse is the best GTO color, but any GTO still turns my head.

It's the best year model of that car. And also the Impala.

I lucked out on this one! Passed him on 290 in Cypress but couldn't get a picture in time. Figured it was a goner but lo and behold I see it at a stop light in Hearne!

The wheels are a little too big for my taste but overall one clean Grand National!

He was brave to take that out! I had to put my Cayenne into "monster truck" mode when I went through Hearne yesterday due to all the rain.

Almost forgot about this one from today, I-35 Southbound Hillsboro.
Seems like a continental oddball.
