    Went for a cycle trip around the industrial area, and a lot dealing in US used import cars had a 1972 Malibu with an orange-and-black paintjob, a Series II Jag XJ, a Kia Stinger and a Triumph Spitfire 1500, as well as a guard dog that made me run like hell. The classics were rather worn out, while the new cars were all damaged - they probably get the inventory off Copart or something.

    Then I watched the inventory of a place that works on US-import classic Benzes. They had a finished R129 SL500, a W140 S-Class undergoing resto, and a lot with a sunbaked SL500, a 560SL that looked like its motor exploded under the hood, a front-crashed W140 S500, an E420 W124 that landed on its roof at some point, and a 420SEL that looked worn-out and had JiffyLube stickers. All looked like off Copart or something like that.

    I also saw a black mid-70s Corvette with a T-Top, and an armoured Mercedes V-Class.

    (By the way, there aren't that many lots with US cars in town. It's just that both places I went past deal in that kinda stuff.)

    Ironically enough I also saw a green Crown Vic today (not exactly lime green, but green nonetheless).

    Also I saw a 4th gen Camaro Z28, GTO Convertible, and a old Impala SS.

    1.) As far as weird cars go, I saw a late 80's Chevrolet Celebrity pass by on my way home from work a few days ago. It looked identical to this picture but in significantly worse shape.

    2.) For rare cars; an early 90's Chevrolet Beretta in what looked like near mint condition.
    Whoever owns it seems to drive it as there daily which I respect, considering the winters we get here.
    (good ol' Minnesota winters).

    3.) An early 80's Oldsmobile Delta 88 that had some severe rust issues, and probably some severe rear suspension issues, considering the owner decided to bungee cord what looked like a dining room table to the back of the car while driving down the highway.
