well, my opinion anyways.

Having one so close to home gives me goosebumps.

The owner was on the driver's side cleaning the wheels with a toothbrush!

When I clicked on the link, I was thinking "Miura, Miura, Miura!"

A true super car from an era when super cars were designed with only what you needed. My all time favorite of the Italian cars.

Stalker.

Kidding, yes, very nice!

Oooooooooo....

My lustmobile......

Iffin that was mine, I'd be grinding that driveway so's the rockers don't scrape.

It's just so purdy ....

I jizzed.

A body like that could make one forgive the engineers for designing an engine and transaxle that shared the same oil.

I think the interior on the early ones had fixed seats; kinda like my '70...but on the driver's side too!

...or the headrests were on the firewall...

What is all the excitement about?

It is not a good donor car for a 914...

Are you sure the seats were fixed?

I know the Maserati Bora had fixed seats and movable pedals.

Now I'm going to drag out my old "Italian Job" movie with Michael Caine.

The movie starts with a camera in Miura driving through the Alps.

Until it goes into a tunnel and hits a bullldozer.

Then they drag the damaged car out of the tunnel and flip it off a cliff....

You can watch it go down the side of the mountain and as it comes apart, and the engine is missing....

Two weeks ago I found a die cast Miura in one of my my boxes of junk. It's about 6 inches long, the hood and trunk pivot, and the doors open. I forgot all about it until the recent find. It's being cleaned up for a repaint.

Wish I still had that 18 inch long plastic Miura model that I bought in 1968. It was a Japanese Miama(?) model and was motorized with pop up working headlights.

There are a few around LA. (Adam Carolla has one as discussed on his podcast regularly). Definitely one of my faves vintage cars as well.

Seeing cars like that on a routine basis is the only thing I like about being in the bay area. I get to see/hear an exotic commuter car almost every other day.

That's funny, I was thinking the same thing. With out even looking at the post I was getting ready to retaliate with a picture of a Miura.
I read a great article about them a while back with photo's of a sweet purple Miura SV.

Couldn't I make rocker intakes like that to duct into an oil cooler instead of running it all the way to the front?

Very cool car... and I thought I had seen it all...

..............THAT COULD BE A VERY GOOD IDEA......I,m in line..............mm.

Did you buy your digital camera used from SirAndy???

Very cool car!

There was one at the Motor4Toys show a couple years ago:
