    “You should definitely join us next year @PDXBryan and so should lucky new winner of this wagon. The Boston Cup event will give you the perfect chance to enjoy the city and travel that week and enjoy the change in seasons nicely.
    A friend in Toronto bought this car’s twin for his daughter to use while in college in BC. She made several trips regularly each year back and forth before giving it back to him and moving to the UK for work. The car had just over 100K kilometers when I visited…”

    “This is cool. During the 1950s and 1960s, my grandmother worked for Helms Bakery in Montebello, CA. When I was young, I toured the plant and saw her working—baking donuts.
    She would bring home the cardboard miniature Helms trucks for me…
    Decades later, for her 90th birthday party, I made it a Helms Bakery–themed event and found an original unfolded cardboard Helms Bakery truck on eBay. I reproduced them so each table had a miniature Helms truck.
    The family went nuts over those…”

    “Paul Newman lived across the street from me growing up. My dad got the same bike from the Studios and talked shop with Mr. Newman often.”

    “I just had my ’72 4.5 overhauled…new injectors, hoses, belts, plugs, wires, coil…
    Runs better than a brand new Caddy!!! So responsive yet regal to drive. Ice cold A/C. Dream car. They are fabulous when tuned. GLWTA!”

    “A huge thank you to @pkatzakian (previous owner) for kindly getting these period photographs over to me. Following the discussion in the comments, Phil was able to send them through, and I’m delighted to be able to share them here with everyone.
    These photographs show RT3-468 during Phil’s ownership wearing its California Cooler livery and add another documented chapter to the car’s history and provenance. It has been a real pleasure reconnecting with Phil after all these years and…”

    “Absolute stunner. Certainly one of the top three motorcycles of all time; likely the ‘top one’.
    Exquisite restoration. This can, and ought, to be ridden.”

    “I’ve driven this car & own a w108 Matt fitted a 113k drivetrain to. If you have the means I highly recommend it.”

    “I must commend the team at Revology on an absolute triumph of packaging. It is one thing to shoehorn a Gen 3 Coyote into an early-model engine bay, but the way this has been engineered is incredibly clean. You actually left plenty of room to work on the car, and the plumbing is pure art. It takes a truly discerning eye to differentiate this from a factory-spec 1968 Fastback until you pop the hood.
    The juxtaposition of eras is beautifully executed. Catching the modern Ford door-ajar chime in…”

    “I made a comment on this auction before an epic 10 day trip to Italy. I’m back. The auction is still going!
    I was in northern Italy (Milan and Lake Como) and guess how many Ferraris I saw?
    One. One solitary 296… in ten days.
    My son: “Dad, where are all the Ferraris?”
    Me: “In the USA.””

    “Mezger engine block was literally built to be wailed on at redline for 24 hrs straight, it’s nearly impossible to destroy it, you have to be intentionally holding it past redline for probably 1 hr+.
    Reminds me of the old cash for clunkers video where they emptied the oil pan on an 80 series landcruiser, put it in neutral, and floored it. It took like 20+ mins at past redline for the engine to give out with no lubrication.”

    “I have and would drive any 200 cross country. Bring a couple spanners 10mm 13 mm pop into advance grab some coolant and oil, bring an extra thermostat and you should be good to go.
    If coming west stay off 80 at night when rainy lol. 200’s are the best when on point.”

    “I was 13, accompanying my dad when he drove his ’76 308 GTB Vetroresina to Los Gatos Ferrari for a service appointment. I wandered into the showroom, saw the F355’s… and right smack dab in the middle of the room was this car. Not this exact same one, but an Azure Blue-over-Magnolia Esprit V8. I had never even heard of Lotus before that moment, but I was mesmerized. I sat in the driver’s seat, smelled the leather, saw the red V8 in back… and suddenly forgot that I was surrounded by yellow…”
