What car did I see?

[DrTre]

On the back of a low loader, American (perhaps Aussie) 1970s coupe.
Looked like an outsize Capri.
The front had single headlights and a very deep, gaudy metal grille which was very pointed in the centre (pointing forwards).

I've googled and the closest I can see is a Buick skylark but the grille was much more chintzy and deep, also they all seem to be dual headlight.

Batmobile?

Gran Torino Elite?

That would have been ace. But I forgot to say it was orange.
TangoMan?

Pontiac GTO Judge....possibly if bright orange.

ETA...too many headlights.

Holy moly, just googled that, not a car to forget in a hurry. Sadly no, but thank you.

The headights were quite "smoothed" in...I don't mean faired but very vaguely like a cobra. Smooth, rounded wing. I'm explaining this really badly.

AMC Javelin?

[Fleckers]

my guess is a Ford Pinto

GTO / judge done have single head lights

That was my first guess

[DrTre]

Def not a falcon... I don't think... But...

Closest I can find is along the lines of a 1970 camaro front end but with a Cadillac de ville grille (the gran torino elite mentioned is pretty close too) and it was a fastback. With rear strip lights.

No worries, cheers chaps.

Holden Monaro? The front's not especially pointed though, although it does have rear strip lights (on some models on Google images, anyway).

[DrTre]

I can definitely see where you're coming from but the grille was the dominant feature.

I never realised the Monaro used to be really quite so small.

[Spanglepants]

Not a Chrysler Charger ( Aussie) ?

Last attempts (I hate not knowing!):

Pontiac Trans Am



Definitely single headlights? '79 Camaro:

Camaro ZL1


Camaro Z28
