    “Cars were built a la carte in those days. Note that the window sticker lists it as a “sold car,” meaning that it was ordered by the customer in advance, and built by the factory to his specifications. B-body Plymouths used completely different sheet metal and wheelbases between 2 door and 4 door models in those years, with these 2 doors having a very high style. The guy probably just wanted a stripper 2 door which was a common configuration in earlier years. I remember an older gentleman in our…”

    “Having hands on experience with dry ice as well as spending time with Scott dry ice cleaning early on I will confirm 100% the “dryce system” of detailing is NEXT LEVEL !!!
    This is the perfect opportunity for a higher volume dealership, museum, or someone looking to jump all in on this business with benchmark level equipment. I started out in the automotive field in the 1990s detailing cars. I learned very quickly that a cheap rotary polisher, shop vac or carpet extractor was just a…”

    “There is a better chance of seeing Bigfoot riding a unicorn down your street than encountering a three-pedal Toyota Solara.”

    “My introduction to the GS was reading about the GS club in either Car Craft or Hotrod Magazine in the 80’s. I joined the club in 1989 not owning a GS but interested. I bought a Flint built 69 GS 350 project on e-bay sometime in the mid 2000’s. Didn’t take long to be overwhelmed and realize I’d made a terrible mistake. Finally joined the Buick owning community in 2012 when I bought my uncles ’86 Grand National. A couple of years ago I bought John Chamberlain’s 74 GS Stage 1 to replicate my first…”

    “”It’s got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It’s a model made before catalytic converters so it’ll run good on regular gas”. Elwood Blues”

    RedTruck1100 commented on No Reserve: Ex–CHP Police Car 1963 Dodge 880 Sedan 413 Project

    “These California Highway Patrol Mopars were special cars. There were over 50 modifications Chrysler let CHP order on each of these cars that wasn’t available to the public. Things like presetting the torsion bars higher to compensate for the push bars on the front and the 413 wasn’t available on a civilian 880. These old Mopar squad cars are underrated and the best driving cars they made.”

    “Great looking e28 that has been dialed in the way all e28s should be dialed in, starting with euro bumpers and properly lowered suspension. 👏
    You’d be hard pressed to find better wheels for an e28 than the 16″ BBS RX wheels.
    The crack free dash is also a bonus, as is the top end motor refresh just a few thousand miles ago.
    The Recaros alone are worth between two and five thousand dollars in case someone wanted to replace them with e28 sport seats.
    Refurbished A/C and the new heater core…”

    “We had ’74 Manta, one of our most dependable and enjoyable cars. Terrific handling and clean styling. Kept it for 9 years and 80K miles. The drive trains in these cars were solid.”

    “That fuse panel is as good as it gets for 48 years old, no wiring hacks, clean relay blocks, no signs of burnt fuse terminals. And all the fuse positions have the correct fuse in them, and fuse 13 is supposed to be empty. Gotta love the hand-painted stripes on many of the wires, these early cars are full of little easter eggs like that.
    Definitely worth the hassle of getting the pics to instill bidder confidence!”

    “@jtzer I was the founder of Classic Promenade and sold the dealership to two young, smart and hard-working couples on June 30th. I completely inspected this Bentley and drove it extensively in June, even in the 100 plus F temperatures in Phoenix. (I’m a senior RROC and concours judge). It essentially drives as a new S1 Continental. I am now in Lucerne, Switzerland driving our R-Type Mulliner Lightweight Saloon for two months from Ireland to Tuscany and back. Cheers and best of luck to the…”

    “Awesome! Looking forward to it. Sadly, my wife passed away a couple of weeks ago from a long fight with breast cancer. I have two 1984 533i’s one is a parts car, the other is a work in progress, and I have spent so much time and money working on it that I simply don’t want the hassle any longer. I have always wanted the original M5, and my wife would be happy that I made that dream a reality. So looking forward to it!!”

    “The rarity of the M81 McLaren Mustang DSO kit cannot be overstated. Maybe 20 were made in addition to the 10 M81 McLaren Mustang prototypes. Of the DSOs on the road, I know of maybe 5. I own one which is currently on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Added note, the rear GT Enduro spoiler is even more rare.”

    “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.”

    “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!”
