We’ve had lots of “Guess the mystery covered car” posts here before, so let’s see how good are you at guessing cars with their faces removed.
I tried to frame this picture as head-on as I could, as the body shape immediately gives it away. Even then, I still think I’ve shown way too much, and I suspect that the Curbivores here will have no trouble identifying these fine rides.
I’ve driven by these faceless cars many times over the past decade, as evidenced by their deteriorating condition. Primer offers only so much protection against the elements, after all. Clearly, they were about ready to go into the painting booth, until for some reason they weren’t.
Perhaps the more challenging question than identifying these cars is why these partially restored vintage rides have been left to rot in a body shop parking lot for so many years. Surely if the owner ran out of interest or money the cars should have been sold – they are both actually fairly desirable models, but again I’ve said too much.
Monte Carlo on the left and a Dodge Challenger or the right. I think.
80s Buick regal on left and early 70s dodge challenger on right. Or right could be a Plymouth barracuda. Can not make out if there is a hump in crease on rear quarter panel.
The hump is visible, you can also tell its a challenger by the bodylines on the hood and tops of the fenders, the one on the driver side is accented by surface rust
Haha. I looked very hard at the pic before reading any comments and it looks like I may be on the same path as the first two.
I’m thinking the left is a Regal from 81-87 and the right some type of Mopar. Thinking a Dodge or Plymouth.
Definitely a Challenger on the right. GM G-body on the left. Hood doesnt look right for an Olds or a Grand Prix. Coin toss says Chevy.
Challenger is super obvious to me, but the GM beside it has that 80s generic GM sheer lookalike thing going on. I’m also thinking Monte Carlo, probably a SS missing its aero nose, but my very first thought was Eldorado
Really goes to show how big Dodge’s ponycar was compared to a downsized intermediate personal luxury coupe designed late in the same decade. The challenger shorn of its front end looks wide enough to swallow it
The G Body is a bit of a stumper, but to be fair it is a very rare model as I suggested. Here’s another clue (that also shows how rundown these cars are). Enlarge only if you want spoilers.
Arrg! And I was still wrong! I did guess it was a Aero nose G body at least!
I figured the Challenger had to be a 72-74, I couldn’t see a 70-71 sitting dormant there, still a waste, I’d love to turn that car around, doesn’t look too bad rust wise
The car on the right certainly has a spoiler.
Got the car on the right in the original pic, but the car on the left deked me.
Ah, the G body is the MC Aero-coupe. Or is it the Pontiac GP with that package?
Looks like all GP to me. Color scheme, wheels, spoiler shape.
