Title: Solved by many: Near Mint, Third Edition
Post by: Allemano on December 13, 2010, 10:17:06 AM
Here you have a bunch of 20 wrecked cars, again.
Some may rather common some weren't seen here before.
Some are easy some are rather difficult some are insanely hard.
All cars are from the internet, so, no books needed!

One point for each correct identification.
(as usual points will be given after the last one has been solved!)

If you haven't register (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?action=regcenter;sa=register)ed yet, you'll need to do so in order to reply and to post your own puzzles.

Correct!

That's what I thought it was and kept comparing it but just couldn't reconcile it.
This is a picture of the Covington Tiburon that's in the Petersen Museum, which is markedly different.
Do you have any more details of the puzzle Tiburon then?  Is it an early prototype?

Strangely the silver coupé is often erroneously tagged as El Tiburon "roadster", but that is a different car:
