    “So publicly… …not 930…
    …and not 930 Turbo…
    not even 911 turbo!
    or even 930 Turbo!
    …or even 911 Turbo or Turbo Carrera or Turbo 3.0!
    …just…
    “turbo””

    “@CForrest 1975 MY 930 was RoW and were badged simply “Turbo”. The “Turbo Carrera” badging was for US version cars starting in 1976 MY.
    Anyone seriously considering a 930 of this vintage should refer to Ryan Snodgrass’s award winning book Turbo 3.0, it is the reference standard for these cars. If you don’t own a copy, buy it. GLWTA!”

    “Wow! This has been a dream for years. I grew up riding in the back of a 1971 FJ40 with top off camping throughout Nevada with my family. Can’t wait to show my Dad, but probably won’t tell him what I paid for it!”

    “I’m the previous owner of this rig. We used it primarily as a rolling billboard for our RV Campground… had our logo on the side. Really drew attention. I can tell you it really drove better than I expected, several hundred miles freeway and highway with no issues. I did add LT tires on the back as well as the booster shocks to help with rocking/swaying. It’s much lighter than it looks, when i bought it three of us picked it up by hand and loaded it on a trailer.”

    “Clearly this was an emotional purchase. This is SAAB Number 19 for me, started with 3 cylinder 2 cycles, a pile of 99’s including a 78 Turbo, and then on to the 900s. My wife converted from GM to SAAB with an 83 Turbo before we were married then a 87 Turbo that we brought both daughters home from the hospital in. Daughters still driving 9-3’s we bought them in high school.
    My wife really really wanted this car, so as a good husband I had to get it done.”

    “On vacation in Europe with my parents in 1965 we were in traffic next to a Ferrari similar to this. Have a vague recollection of the paler blue metallic, a far stronger impression as the traffic cleared was the howl as it disappeared down the road.
    My father didn’t give chase in our Austin 1100.”

    “IMO….The best wagon ever produced for the money….If serviced and maintained properly, these are pretty much bullet proof….Mine is a black metallic 6 speed with atacama with 205K miles and it drives like it left the factory yesterday!”

    “Mr. Tardel should get AMT to issue a 1/25th scale plastic model of this car. Then I can have one and use up my old tube of Testors glue from 1963.”

    “Oh my God. To find any of these with their original police equipment is one thing. But to find one that was basically never driven? Unheard of.”

    “A perfect vehicle for Veterans Day! Thank you to all veterans!
    Before his passing, I was fortunate to attend an open house at Jacques Littlefield’s estate where there were hundreds of tanks from all eras. He and his crew did a masterful job of restoring and maintaining these beauties.
    I was wondering if this was ever part of his collection?”

    “My dad also has a Judson in his ’56 lowlight and got me hooked on 36hps. I currently have an Okrasa and just pulled a ’58 T2 36hp out of my Brasilia science project. I see at one point in picture 507 this Ghia had an Okrasa setup. I would have loved to talk to the owner/builder and hear their feedback on the differences. Does the motor still have the Okrasa 69.5 crank or upgraded (356/custom) camshaft with the Judson setup? Does it by chance have a the uber rare “high compression” domed VW…”

    “When I was President of the Pit Crew at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles I had the privilege of arranging a Tour of Bruce Meyer’s garage off Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Among his fabulous cars (e.g. the first production Cobra) is the SWB Berlinetta that won its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1961, the highest placing of a SWB at Le Mans.”

    TheOMDude commented on 250 GT Berlinetta SWB “Revival” by GTO Engineering

    “A few years ago I took one down the Oregon coast, right after some seat time in a GT3. Same engine DNA, same urgency to rev, but the experience couldn’t be more different in the best way. Top down, rowing your own gears, flat-six at 9k RPM echoing off the cliffs… it turns every mile into an event. What a great Porsche. Here’s to the next owner racking up the miles on it.”

    “The original owner of this Maserati was Stan Nowak, more famous as one of the earliest of the Ferrari historians here in the States. He told me decades ago he took delivery in West Nyak but sold it just a few months later to raise money for an early Ferrari that had recently been uncovered.
    He told me to keep an eye out for it and said it would be easy to find by the chassis number “502.”
    He passed away not long thereafter and I never did track it down until about ten years ago when I…”
