Ancient Cars Still Roaming

[Shifting_Gears]

Post your pics. This isn’t so much “classic cars”, but regular everyday vehicles that are still beating the pavement and defying the odds of time and mileage. I texted this to @SteelCity_Stang and he was able to identify the model year by some subtle styling cues. That was as mind blowing as seeing such a relic still in the wild.

The one that I have not seen for awhile now are Ford Probes. I see maybe 1 every other month. I still see plenty of Cavaliers still but they are becoming less frequent.

Ah yeah.. the Ford doorwedge, the “Mustang III”. That’s a good one.

How? I thought these all rusted away. Any minute now this car will disintegrate into a cloud of dust like an automotive version of "The Snap".

“Southern car” lol.

I LOVE unappreciated survivors. I owned an ‘89 Cressida until a few months ago. In the 3 years I owned the car, I didn’t see another X8 on the road.

Hope something doesn't roll down the hill and smash into that beautiful ruby red stang, lol

This thread is a fun one. I will take a stab at something foreign. This Soviet (cough, cough... Fiat) VAZ-2106 model from 1983 is presently a refurbished sale on Ebay for a little under $10k that would have made Comrade Andropov proud...
