look at the fricken bumpers on this 76 Comet!! Another surprise? It's only got 18k miles

It turns out, if you watch Resident Alien (S4), and then Peacemaker (S1), you'll notice that Linda Hamilton and John Cena drive the same 71-73 Comet!

I probably wouldn't have noticed except the rims didn't change, also, the shows are filmed in the same town, which I also wouldn't have noticed, except in both shows, they filmed the same shot of the downtown street, at night, which shows the same strings of lights from street light pole to pole, across the street. Of course, since most tv series are filmed in Vancouver area, it just makes sense

Spotted today in PB (Pacific Beach part of San Diego) while heading out, and not with enough time to get photos, so, Google Street View to the rescue

I'm pretty sure this is a 64 Mercury Comet

Gary Kuchar's collection is coming to the Van Der Brink auction, and he had a hell of a wide variety of cars in his collection

that Mustang above the windshield? NOPE. This collection was picked over before the left overs were listed for auction. Most of them don't run, and you will see a Bobcat moving them for photos. But then, at these prices, you're paying for the rust free bodies, not running cars.

DeSoto Airflow

no info on the engine

has a 400 cu in. So, wtf is that doing in there? But it's a Phoenix, and those are cool 

401 AMX Javelin

see the Bobcat? And this seems to be the only Mustang getting sold

Damn. I wish I could afford to buy this Bantam. I'd be so damn happy. 

but someone that has always wanted an E Type Jag is going home thrilled! 

there's a bunch of other cars, and trucks, and Scouts, etc etc

Sure would have been sweet to see this $200,000 64 Comet with a 1300 hp big ol Merlin motor at SEMA, but, it wasn't built with brakes that could stop it, when the accelerator stuck at 2200 rpm, and the driver had been riding the brakes to compensate. A PSA from Jim! Thank you Jim!

 

and when driving down the street, there was nothing to do but panic when the brakes couldn't slow it down. So they crashed into an SUV

Thank you Jim!

Bristol Dragway in June of 1965

 

Look at the rims... that's unusual!

There was quite a few cool cars seen on today's walkabout, several under car covers

been in the driveway undercover since 2011. Looks like a late 70s Camaro

This wasn't effective at hiding that it's a jeep. 

well, that looks like a Jeep to me

here's what it looks like on Street View history, it's been there since before 2007

looks like a shoebox Ford to me, but street view shows it's been in a tent (see the frame work around it?) since before 2007

interesting art piece by the front door

parked in the front yard probably a decade or 2 ago, and never left

using the Cadillac's natural eye magnet appeal to advertise his real estate business

and google street view shos this Opel GT and VW ... next door to an Airstream, but neither of them were out when I walked past
