It is a Kurtis 500M roadster which was built between 1954 and 1956 by the Kurtis Sports Car Co. of Los Angeles. The cars designer Frank Kurtis had also designed winning Indy cars in the early to mid 1950's and the Kurtis car that became the Muntz Jet of the early fifties.

There's a surprise. Well there you go orconn... Now you can finally fulfill your week's dream of going on to the next round.

This car was the beginning of over 45 years of production.

Steudabaker Avanti? I'm just guessing because you said 45 years of production.

[orconn]

No the car is not the Studebaker Avanti. Good guess though given the hint.

Well... Unlike some others, I tried to give ample time for someone else to answer and resist any virgin-esque, bookish, giddy schoolgirl-like urges to be the first one with my hand up and immediately answer.

But since no one else knows it or is simply not paying attention anymore, I might as well call it...

Even though it's not the best picture in the world, it's definitely an original Lamborghini GT - either a 350 or 400... Despite the fact that I can't see to many details in the picture, I'm going to assume by the original phrasing that it's a 350.

So to not cause anyone to go through some sort of withdrawal or anything - I'll try not to take as long to post something else... Although perhaps this time we can let some of the other kids play too...

We all are appreciate your great restraint in this matter, Mr. Goff! You are correct it is a 1964 Lamborghini 350GT. This particular car was originally painted metallic gold and was the car shown by Automobile Lamborghini ath the 1964 Geneva Auto Show as their first production car. The early very fine Grand Turismo cars were to be eclipse by the far more exotic Miura and subsequent supercar models. There were approximately 126 350GTs produced 1964 and 1968 when production of the Islero superceded the 350 and 400 GT models.

If any one else is interested in continuing this game they should go ahead and post a mystery car. Enough time has elapsed waiting for AMGoff to come up with a car for us to proceed without his contribution.

Thought this would be interesting to keep this going. Make, model, and year would be nice.

^^ It's a Lancia Flaminia... Either a '62 or a '63 GT coupe. It's used a 2.8L V6 which was good for about 150 horses or so and was actually a bored version of the very first V6 engine ever put into a production car.

Wow... You really have absolutely nothing better to do, do you? I had completely forgotten about it once it got bumped off the first page - so my sincerest apologies for prolonging your "raison d'etre," although it does seem as if everyone else had forgotten about it as well.

Since it seems the ball is back in my court, I'll try to get something new up there this weekend... Mmmmkay? I wouldn't want anyone having any sort of anxiety attack because of this...

^ How about you quit being a dick by not posting anything when you name the right car. We had this thread up to 50+ pages in another forum I go to. If you are going to play the game, play by the rules or don't play at all.

[ga_etc]

By the way you were correct. '63 Lancia Flaminia GT. I'm afraid to ask how you know all of this stuff.

Oh please... Don't get all indignant, you just want your thread to continue - else you would have simply bumped and continued one of the several threads that have already tried doing this. It's been done here before, at least three different times.. Besides.. What are you, eight... "Play by the rules." What rules - your rules? As I already said... I had simply forgot about it after it was knocked off of the first page, as almost everyone else evidently had as well. Either way, it wasn't intentional... and beyond that, who cares about your other forum - again, it's been done more than once already... So get a grip.

Frankly, to save web/server-space they should all be merged/combined anyway, rather than have 4-5 different threads in the lounge about the same thing.

Nothing scary about it... I just know cars. BTW - You came up with a good one.

As I said, I'll try to get one up this weekend so to not seem like I'm purposely being a "dick" and subsequently satisfy two peopl.... err... everyone.

[AMGoff]

Here... List year, make, and model. Go wild:
