    “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!”

    “My Dad was one of the first SAAB dealers in the US, so I grew up with the cornpoppers. We were located near the entry port and headquarters . I remember visiting the New Haven HQ and riding a freight elevator to Ralph Millet’s office. We had one tech whose job was engine replacement, and he was kept busy. They are fun cars to drive, the odds of seeing another one on the road rare. This is a beauty, good luck with the sale.”

    “I bought mine new in 04 (same color and spec) and with a wife and 4 kids, drove it 210,000 trouble free miles in 15 years making it the best and most dependable vehicle I’ve ever owned. If this truck was properly maintained, 100k miles is nothing and should provide the next family years of reliable service. I don’t know the seller at all but love his responsiveness and transparency in this auction. GLWTA.”

    “I quite like this version of the 2002, I still remember in 1970 when my father picked up his brand new 2002 Ti here in Vancouver. My father’s car came in Colorado orange, it had a limited slip differential and sunroof but only a 4 speed transmission. The next year, I used the Ti for all my driving lessons and tests when I pursued my driver’s licence, even the driving instructors were impressed with the car.”

    “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 am a retired Industrial Designer. Those out there who studied the curriculum know the hours and sleepless nights spent in the shop building scale models of soooo many consumer goods for curriculum projects….clay, plaster, and YES…WOOD.
    I am speechless as I view this work of art.
    YES…puns will abound here and as the new “caretaker”…(hopefully an arborist)… will soon discover…this is a MASTERPIECE in sculpting that will be the highlight any cruise/car show.

    “A ton of period chrome doo dads added to this bike. I can see both sets of floor boards, all hand controls, grips, shifter pegs and foot brake, fork lowers, crash bars, most of the case covers, and others I might not be seeing. That dual exhaust alone was probably $1k. That’s what we did to these bikes back in the day!”

    “In ’68 my mom drove a ’65 impala… I remember sitting, well standing, behind pretending to cruise. Somehow I slipped it in N and rolled backwards into the street… I remember mom running out of the laundry mat in her feather hat and night robe… ha ha… I also remember sleeping in the rear window on long journeys. Different times! I was 4”

    “A 1952 220A Cabriolet was my daily driver in the early 1970s. When decades later I drove past a billboard depicting a painted one on Sunset Blvd, I did a u-turn to see what it was about. It advertised the Hiro Yamagata exhibit at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery running from Sept 13 thru Oct 23, 1994. I was at the opening, chatted with Mr Yamagata, and marveled that I was seeing more 220As in one room than I had seen in my entire life.
    I asked him why he chose this car to paint. He replied…”

    kirkhenry commented on 1953 Mercedes-Benz 220 Cabriolet A Art Car by Hiro Yamagata

    “This is the car that convinced me just why fulvias were rally champions. Having known the owner for a while you can rest assured that this particular example was treated with both love and care.
    Having had a chance to drive it down a curvy road or two, it’s mechanically perfect and just a hoot to drive as well.
    The gorgeous color doesn’t hurt either.”

    “This 6-series Packard has been a goal to own one – of my Dad and I – our whole lives and finally hope to obtain. This would be for me to enjoy for my retirement.”

    “I own a 1938 Flying Squirrel. The engine number is one digit away from this bike and the frame number is two digits away. When I contacted the Scott Club Registry to authenticate my bike I was advised that 220 Flying Squirrels were produced (500cc and 600cc versions combined) in 1938. The whereabouts of 101 were known. Of those, twenty had the redesigned detachable head as does this bike. GLWTS”
