Too many to list, but the Ford GT90, Jaguar CX-75, Nissan IDx, Porsche Mission E, Oldsmobile Aerotech, Buick Blackhawk, Avenir, and Avista, Nissan Mid4 concepts, and Volvo Concept Estate rank high on my list.

You can’t make me pick a favorite but it’d probably be the XK180.

Ah the prototype idea for a RPO ZL-1 Camaro. Neat car that really doesn’t get recognized even in the camaro world. Kinda like the Black Panther 67's or the lovely Waikiki:

or Caribe:

Yeah, these are the only two pictures I’ve ever seen of it. This is the black one, I think the rumor is that there was a silver one as well.

There’s a nicely done clone out there I think.

the real car i know toured to a few trans am races in 69/70/71 before disappearing. There are a couple clones now.

It was probably destroyed by Chevy, One of my grandfathers friends was a engineer at chevy in the early to mid 60's on the Corvette. He talks about working on a late C1 (might have been a early concept C2) that had a retractable hardtop like the big fords. Once they decided to can the project because like the ford system it was horribly temperamental and just a wiring nightmare full of issues. They took to a car to a big saw that had band saws every 6 inches and cut the car into strips so that Ford or Mopar couldnt steal any ideas.

I can’t post pictures at all. Only videos. Tried many different ways, different file types. Laptop, desktop, cell. No luck.

Yea my work has firewall rules in place blocking some back end site Kinja uses for this - don’t know what exactly. It works fine from home for me, just not from work. From a home network, I would look at any kind of ad-blocks or firewalls or if you use like Open DNS or some kind of DNS filtering service...

Edit: holy crap did this just work?

Cars with Mohawks! GM built some wild ones. It’s amazing how much Firebird there is in that.

Yea that really did indicate the direction their design language would go in a few years. This was an ‘88 concept, and 88 Firebird looked nothing like it. In 91 the 4rth gen Firebird did get a redesigned front bumper with the Ninja Turtle mouth resembling the Banshee IV..

Pictures because I apparently can now:

I agree. GM didn’t mess around with their concepts.

3 Good ones. Peugeot made some good concepts

Thanks, too bad they’re just slightly too conservative to actually follow through and getting them into any semblance of production. Especially the Oxia, which was as complete a car as you can imagine. Observe the windshield wipers and rear-view mirrors.

Truth be told, the Peugeot badge would make it a massive failure in the exclusive car market. But still, what could’ve been...
