I've seen those pictures years ago, but I thought I'll post them.

550 or 575?

The people who did this to these cars should be strung up from a tree!

Its Udai Hussan's 550.

The people who did it are looters, amongst of which are American soldiers collecting trophies for home, so you better watch your words

It's just a car, and it's stuck in a war, what can I say?

Those top three pics are a Lamborghini (the Rambo Lambo) with a V12 Countach engine in it. I believe that one belonged to Uday Hussein and was blown up by the US military to simulate the effects of a car bomb, without realising its rarity value.
