World Hockey Championships and European autos thread

Not a European car, but a pretty damn important one.

The car Steve McQueen drove in the movie Bullitt is up for auction right now. Someone bought it in 1974 from a local classified ad for 3500. Then he let his wife drive it as her daily driver for the next 20 years when they put it in his garage.

Bullitt - 1968 Ford Mustang GT "Bullitt"

It's this car:

Just sold for 3.4 million

What the fuck is Ford doing?

They make an electric SUV and call it the Mustang which is stupid because Mustangs never were anything other than a 2 door sports coupe.

Now, they trot out a concept that looks like the evolution of the current Mustang and they call it the... Escort?

I mean, they could have called the Electric SUV literally anything else from their history, including Escort. Falcon. Galaxy. Sierra. Thunderbird. Fusion. Taurus. ANYTHING ELSE.

I can't wait until they implode and go away.

That Volvo 850 T5-R was a joint collaboration between Volvo and Porsche and I believe was used by some police forces in Germany. I like it.

Delorean DMC-12 resto mod

I actually quite like that.

Resto-mods are really hard to get right, but I think they nailed that.

2020 Toyota 86 Hakone - I like it. The bronze wheels with that green looks really sharp.
