“Did you know that the US Spec engine has a 9.5:1 compression ratio and the Euro spec has 10.3:1 ? Let me tell you, you can feel the difference. Also, did you know that the ’84, with it’s hold over “SC interior” is the lightest of the ’84 to ’89 Carreras? That makes this the lightest, with it’s slicktop, and most powerful Carrera in the ’84 to ’89 range.”

“Back in 1971 I was a 19 year old with a dream job of driving cars for the California Auto Auction. On one of my runs heading north on 101 from Burlingame to San Francisco, I was listening to the giants pregame, literally MINUTES before the first pitch. Traffic was fairly heavy approaching candlestick park when I noticed in my rear view mirror a bright pink Chrysler Imperial absolutely SCREAMING through traffic, changing lanes like an Indy car driver. As it flew past me and headed towards the…”

“I am 79 years old, bought a 76 GL new, same color and wheels as this car. I have had all the German cars, but the SAAB is the car that I remember fondly for having all the positives of those cars all in one vehicle.”

“Very sharp and very clean Calypso Green/grey cloth notch. And the cherry on top among the tasteful, period correct mods is the GT-40 intake. This Fox is going to sell itself!”

“I absolutely LOVE photo #321: the huge stack of renewal stickers! Most of us peel them off once a stack of five or so piles up, but to leave them all on there for so many years took dedication and a degree of skill.
This is a such a cool package, even without the amazing ownership history. Only things I’d do is get the A/C working, and replace that modern CD player with something vintage or at least vintage looking.”

“This Car and Driver segment was significantly developed at the 928 Press Launch which was held at the Le Mas D’ Artigny Luxury hotel In St. Paul, France in February and March of 1977. Automotive journalists from around the world attended to experience the cars in person and on local roads. There were 12 cars prepared for this event known as “Press Cars” and these are very unusual and unique iterations of the 928. They carry the first full 10 digit 928 VIN numbers produced. These cars were…”

“Wow! If your drove this in 1966 you were a very successful owner-operator with great taste! That’s an extra long WB too meant for specialized loads. I watched the videos to see any sign of power steering so only Armstrong steering? My family was in the trucking business (in many aspects) and worked at a Kenworth store in NJ in the clean up bay. Much like old vs modern pickup trucks, they had evolved from bare bones working vehicles to modern, comfortable places to be. GLWTA #keepontruckin”

“Never mind the Firestones, this is very reminiscent of the B.F. Goodrich TireBird. Awesome build!
It’s been a great weekend for second-generation Firebirds. Keep them coming.

“I worked a security detail guarding this car and the others Mr. Yamagata was painting at his Malibu studio. The cars were stored in a multi level parking garage overlooking the Pacific. All the cars were painted in various tropical scenes. Quite a sight to see all of them together.”

JAY-Z commented on 1965 Buick Riviera Gran Sport
“Love seeing this. Although the sedans were more practical (we had the Regency 4 door in this color combo), the look of these fabulous coupes makes it appear to go on forever. My father was a senior design engineer at Olds, and he was part of this design team. Brings back memories of my childhood anticipating the new car show every year to see what was new about each line, and what the taillights were going to look like with each new model year.
Also love seeing that a 50 year old…”

“We had the paint shop “Marauder” line at STAP I had the opportunity to work on these beautiful cars. There were about 8 of us on 2 shifts that made certain that they were gone over with a fine tooth comb!! Often they were sent through clear coat x2 so they were perfectly done! We would hang a heavy metal washer from a wire inside the car from body shop so everyone knew it was a Marauder. They were signed off by 3 different people before they got shipped to chassis!”

“At the age of 74 and having owned almost 200 cars over that span, I enjoyed many different cars, many muscle cars back in the 70’s when they were several years old and pretty much worn out by then…still tons of fun, I also owned several sports cars two Spitfires, and a ’63 Austin Healey Sprite, and three Fiat 850 spiders. But one of the few cars I always dreamed of was a TR6. Never had the money when a deal came along. I hope the winner will be as excited to drive this as I would have been…”

“For those asking: it will be back close to home. I’m in the Virginia Beach area so about 2 hours from Richmond where the original owner/builder was.
I joined JUST to bid on this car. It’s been my favorite build of all time since I saw it 10+ years ago. Once I saw it was for sale I knew I had to take a shot at it.
So unbelievably happy that I won!”
