    A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

    “I kind of feel like the 997.2 Turbo S is a hidden menu item. So many people talk about 997.1 Turbos and 991.1 Turbos, but this remains akin to a secret for enthusiasts.
    It has the smaller, more nimble feel of the 997 chassis coupled with the ferocity and traction of the PDK and AWD, and although these aren’t the Mezger engines they are stout.
    This generation remains somewhat of a ‘if you know you know’ type of Porsche, and there is SO MUCH to absolutely love about it. GLWTA!”

    “I have driven my black over red for 15 years, many times during Pebble car week and not once has anybody figured out it was an Ostermeir. The fuel door is perfectly contoured to the car,sits. Eli’s the belt line and it’s so small it’s barely noticeable. Very small deviation for an otherwise perfect recreation.
    Note the air conditioning. Looks like what genuine aftermarket real 300SL would have installed because the car is so hot inside. If you watch enough 300 SL driving videos you will…”

    “John Weinberger had one of these in white at Continental Imports in La Grange, IL back in 1970. My dad was considering buying it, but I think at 5’-11” he couldn’t get comfortable in it. He ended up buying the fly yellow De Tomaso Mangusta John had, instead. That’s the car in which he picked me up at Orange County Airport when I was discharged from the Army in 1971. Sure wish he’d kept that car, or either of the two E-Types he owned (one of which he’d bought from Mr. Weinberger).”

    “The 330 GTC has always been a favorite of mine. And the 512BB. When I was first working out of college in the early ’80’s my wife and I honeymooned in San Francisco and I dragged her to Ferrari Los Gatos, and there on the floor were my two dream cars, a 330 GTC sitting next to a 512BB. I remember them being in the $25 – $35K range? And thinking, I’ll be able to afford one of those. Unfortunately life intervened and prices for these cars increased but I was finally able to realize a dream…”

    “I own a manual 6 speed ’07 NC. These are just fabulous vehicles. Nothing goes wrong. Certainly one of the finest engines Mazda ever built. Gobs of fun driving top-down and a true value fot the $ spent. New owner will be happy. GLWTA”

    “Thanks to all bidders. I fell in love with the 904 when I first saw one in the 1980’s. I think it the most beautiful care design ever. Thats why I had to have the Beck 904. I started discussing the car with Chuck Beck in early 2020, and pulled the trigger in October of 2020. It was a 3 year build process, and I visited the factory many times during the build. My wife was involved too, and picked out the interior colors. I think it turned out nicely. Thanks for all the positive comments.”

    “The 505 wagon, IMHO, is one of the great longroofs. They endure rugged conditions in Africa without complaint. The 4 cylinder engine is about as indestructible as they get. Cargo capacity is unmatched. Yet the ride is so so comfy. Best seats anywhere. The video shows it off well.”

    “Another one that I helped build at Torslanda in Goteborg. Some had a note under the dash: built in Sweden by a yankee. I was the only American out of supposedly 46 nationalities working there”

    “Nothing beats the simplicity of an old truck. No screens, no tech just three pedals and a steering wheel. GLWTA!”

    “And now the end is near. I truly enjoyed this car and would love to see it go to a new owner and a loving home. I have had great memories of building the car and driving the car. I truly know that the next owner will be thrilled while driving the car next.”

    D_Reed commented on Fuel-Injected, 400-Powered 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

    “One of the things I really like about this is that, at its heart, it’s just so simple. Not like the Italian limited production barchetta cars where everything is unobtainable or very expensive. A T Series MG set up is the personification of of basic spark, fuel, air motoring. Like the upkeep on TD. That should bring it more into the range of folks who lust after the style but have been afraid of the reality of finding mechanical spares. Opportunity rarely knocks as loud as this one, IMHO!”

    “This jeep has been great to own for over 31 years. I just decided that it is time to move on and find a buyer who will appreciate it and take care of it like I have. It was one of the very last to be built with a 5-speed manual transmission, which makes it a rare find. I welcome any questions that buyers may have. Thank you for your interest.”

    rbillinger commented on No Reserve: Original-Owner 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4×4 5-Speed

    “That’s legit and 100% original IMHO. Worked at a Schwinn shop as a kid and put together a few of those. A lot of people (cool kids) ditched the front fender. That’s the original seat. Those are the original pedals. This is all recollection but very clear. . They were wheelie machines and no fun whatsoever to get up a hill! An early but awesome memory! GLWTA!”

    “What a fantastic driving video!
    Maserati’s 200S and Si were giant killers in their day with only the bigger engined Ferrari 860 Monza/290MM, 315 and 335 Sports able to keep up. The Maserati 300S and 450S were faster but never had the breaking or handling of the 200S and Si models.
    This is by far one of the best and the spares package alone worth the currently humble bid!
    Cheers,
    Bill”

    “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.”
