the topic says it all

looks like an auzzie car

Looks like American styling, but with the amber turn signals I'd have to say European. Not Italy or France. Bumper over-riders say 74 or later.

Opel Manta?

that really looks like a aussie Ford to me.

If it is LHD as it appears could it be Australian?

Opel Manta?

definitely not - I know the Manta

they don't have palm trees in europe (unless you're in southern spain, but that doesn't look spanish)

japan put out some bigger cars in the mid 70's didn;t they?

The taillights look Mercedes, but the fastback looks Ford Fairlane or Galaxy.

Here is an Aussie website that may help. I did not see that car, but one of my favorites of all time is there.... The Aussie Ford Falcon XB, "Last of the V8 Interceptors"

www.aussiecoupes.com

Ford Nova

Is it a Holden?

Aussie, NZ, Japanese, and cars in most of the former British Empire are RHD. Rules out most of the guesses, don't it? The Cap'n

I think the angle is making it look bigger than it really is.

The first time I looked, I was thinking Opel (Not a Manta though, those are pretty obvious).

Second time the back end made me think 70's Peugot.

This one may be tough.

BTW Wolfgang I love these little quiz's... they're fun.

ford falcon xb gt coupe, the one mad max drove in mm1 and mm2???

Maybe the picture was flipped to throw everyone off.

Chevy Falcon

Dodge Monte Carlo?

Toyota...something

Buick Mustang?

Mercedes Fastback

Thought the same thing, with license blacked out
Rear quarter panel and window kinda looks like a Holden Minaro(sp) but can't find pix of a fast back.

Big Block Buick Barracuda, Bygod

holdens had a more rounded back with flip up tail lights , didn't they? and i don't recall seeing any with that lower body molding.

there is Opel in there somewhere. I'm guessing Vauxhall. It might even be a Katrina

Edit- I'm guessing wrong. Vauxhall is a GM affiliate. Opel is Ford, ain't it?

commedore?

I'm no closer to the answer, but searching and found this! 1972 Bolwell Nagari. Fine looking car and a guaranteed stumper.

Mazda Cosmo? If I recall they sorta looked like that thing...

I got it.....Pontiac Charger?

Back to your room, Paul. You live near Ybor City?

I was thinking the same thing, maybe a one-off

Opel is GM, and has been for more than 40 years. Kadetts were sold by Buick, and the recent little Cadillac is an Opel. The Cap'n

No, and I'm glad I don't!
It's kinda like New O before Katrina.
Not a good place to be at night.

I'm just trying to be like Miles.

No wait, thats a Datsun 911.

GM US = Chevy, Pontiac, Caddy, etc
GM UK = Vauxhall (though they've recently introduced Chevy)
GM Europe = Opel
GM Australia = Holden

Ford US = Ford, Lincoln, Mercury
Ford UK = Ford
Ford Europe = Ford
Ford Australia = Ford

The door handles look strange, almost AMC like, but I know it's not one of them.

Hello Gustl, I think that this car looks very much like a FORD TAUNUS. ( Not a Taurus)
Here are some photos of some other ones?

Quilmes

Subaru GL Coupe

IT has differant wheels and rear window line. might be a differant year

Bernie

many thanks to all for your input

it seems that the correct answer wasn't there though

another guy playing the quiz found the correct solution: Chevrolet Diplomata Coupé (from Brazil)

never heard about this car

I was right !!!

What do I win, free membership to the 914Club for one year???

Paul

I guess you were right Paul.

Chevy = Chevrolet

Diplomat = Dodge Diplomat.


You indeed are the smartest person on the board... or the most insane

Oh wait I think that is Miles... or maybe Z

Apparently the one pictured is for sale.
