Default Aguas de Lindoia - Brazil - Old Car Show - all pics are in

Every year this small city hosts a meeting of old car collectors. Luckily this year the event occured earlier than expected (normally it goes for the middle of may), and I got the chance to take some pics. The event was huge, there were about 700 cars and 180.000 people... too sad I only had one hour to see everything, so there is a lot of good stuff missing...

Most of the pics will be uploaded on 1024x768, but I have all on 2048x1536, just ask me if you want any on high res.

Starting with a view from the place:



Three Ferraris, the yellow and the red are Dinos and the silver one I don't know



This one I don't know the name too, but reminds me so much of a Jaguar I had from Bburago...




A fucking beautiful 250 GTO, and a 300SL Gullwing... man what a sight!



Bugatti, Rolls-Royce and Packard



Sweet Fusca from a brazilian singer, Jorge Aragão



And a nice engine for this Ford Maverick




Some Dodges





anyone knows the name of this car?



Isetta, Continental and two military jeeps for sale (15 thousand dollars each)


I am short on time this week, so from the 100 pics I took I will only be posting about 20 now... I hope I can upload the others ASAP.

edit 1

Some old modded pick-ups...



These Studebakers were very beautiful, nice paintjob




Two old brazilian cars, the first one is a Miura from late 80's and the other one is a Bianco (very rare) from 1977



the only beautiful chics from the whole event, on the second pic


this black Cobra was very beautiful, although it's a replica







another Cobra, another replica


unfortunatelly all Cobras in Brazil are replicas :cry:





Do you guys like the old VW Beetle? I don't, but hey there were some nice Fuscas (as we call them here) on this show

some convertibles, the white looks nice IMO



a little Beetle featuring a sweet Ford 302 V8 here:

Follow this link if you wanna know more about this - http://www.geocities.com/motorcity/s...e/fuscav8.html


and a Schwimmwagen from the WW2



And here we go for the Porsches... hell I expected a lot more, there were only half a dozen of them there... and they put the rear facing the lake, so anyone could see them from the back! pretty dumb!




Time for some brazilian American Muscle

Dodge Charger, don't know the year



1970 Ford Torino



Camaros and an intruder on the second shot



And two Stingrays, the black one is a 1972 and the white one a 1973




LOL at the Karmann Ghia and the Ford Landau



BMW Touring 2002 TI and two Citroens (Traction Avant?)



Huge Ford Galaxie



This Jaguar E-Type was so beautiful... Unfortunatelly I had not enough time to go around the show and take a pic from the front :cry:



ugh... nasty Nash Metropolitan



old old cars



this is a prototype from the 70's made by FEI, a brazilian college, powered by a Dodge 318 V8


No, I did not forget the topic

A small update this time:










Looool fugly wheels




This one goes to the Zfrks around the Jabbas World











------------------LAST UPDATE---------------------

so here we go, the last sightings:




This next car is a Lobini, a brazilian project that started to be sold this year. I don't like it, the exterior is ok IMO, but the interior has that poor felling, it's more crappy than a honda.






The Crossfox, fucking bizarre SUV wannabe, and a beautiful 530



for those who like bikes, here are some pics that my cousin took... I like them, but I wouldn't spend my time taking pics of them

The GTO is a 200000 dollar replica, from a known person to my father...
He had it made, because he could not buy an original one, so he thouroughly researched everything it took to make the cars, bringing some original parts from ferrari...
The engine, i don't know which it is, could well be a real one, however the car is not a factory original, that's for sure...
anyway, it is still a beautiful sight..

That's bad... at first I thought it was original, but well it would be really difficult to see such a car in Aguas de Lindoia...

But even being a replica I like it I guess the engine is Ferrari

I've heard that there is another 250 GTO here in Brazil in red, but it's a replica also...

great cars!
The GTO looks good, even if a replica.

The silver car in the dino picture is a Fiat Dino Spyder. Quite rare.
A Fiat with a dino engine. Very fast and much cheaper than a Ferrari dino!

The BMW Ti Touring is a rarity too.

And I would give a lot for that silver Porsche Carrera. Looks like a 1976/77 Carrrera 3.0. Just what I want.
