Noticed these covered cars on a neighbourhood walk. The two on the left are definitely old 911's, wanted to take a peek

The other one is a Lotus Europa, maybe?

could be, looked like some sort of mid engined sports car. House is probably quarter of a mile from the ocean, hoping they are not rusting away.

Wow, that was my first thought too, but a Europa might be lower compared to the 911's next to it.

Pantera maybe?

I'm sticking with Europa. Panteras don't have bumpers that stick out that far.

Plus if you zoom in I think you can see the distinctive step down from the roofline to the engine cover.

Great points and examples!

I like this game, we should play "what's under the cover" often!
