Kinja'd!!!

The cover of the Cars’ album Candy-O is pretty well known for its shapely pinup girl but what the hell car is she lounging on?

Seems kind of 72 Roadrunner-y.

Not it though.

My wife has said her mom hates th Cars but she’s never been able to explain why. Maybe this album cover is why. I mean o like it, but I don’t think she would

Too late to add anything about the car, unfortunately - but the girl looks like the archetypical “Vargas” drawing to me. Particularly the unrealistically thin fingers and long, almost ogival nails.

Back to the car, are those suppose to be worth something nowadays? For decades they were considered by so-called “enthusiasts” as the ugly sister of the Daytona.

Among the many dumb and pointless things I can do, identifying Ferraris is perhaps my best.

I don’t think there’s a single old Ferrari that’s not worth something.

They’re now regarded as the best sounding old V12 Ferrari, and have been riding the Daytona’s coattails upward. Not as fast or perhaps as sexy as the Daytona, but they do almost everything better. It was the last front engined V12 proper coupe of the Enzo era, so the market is coming around.

The 365... did you not see it? It’s a 365, right there, plain as day! I can’t see too much of it because of the person blocking the view, but that’s a 365 as sure as... BZZZZZZZZTTT KABOOM HISSSSSS

I’ve been doing it wrong again, haven’t I?

Obviously all Ferraris are worth something, if anything because of the engines therein. What I wonder is whether the difference in value with other models is still staggering (think about an early Mondial 8 and you’ll get my drift).

Just ten, fifteen years ago some 400/400is could be found really cheaply (comparatively speaking).

Thanks! Good to hear they are getting some appreciation.

But don’t forget the GT4 364/400/412 etc. They are front-engined and came right after the 365 GTC...

I know the feeling. I could tell you the one subtle visual difference between a ‘71 and a ‘72 Chevelle, but I call my own daughters by each other’s names CONSTANTLY.

I mean, I’ll take your word for it, but I don’t see any car ;)

Haha, I do this at least 5 times a day. Doesn’t help that they have similar sounding names, but we didn’t think of that when we pulled number 2's name out of nowhere on no sleep at the hospital. I also have the Chevelle problem, I was mildly obsessed with a couple of local dirt track cars as a kid so I picked up all the Chevy cues.

That’s a pretty great idea. I may have to steal that.

Our girls names don’t sound alike, and the girls don’t especially look alike either, and their personalities are very different ... so I don’t know what that says about me, but ...
