“Poster child for Toyota reliability, durability, ruggedness, ease of ownership all wrapped up in a perfectly sized no nonsense do it all pickup.
Added bonus, respectable mpg and well mannered handling.”

“These Ford GT’s are so much fun to drive, I took mine out this morning and the experience is almost indescribable. I have other supercars as well but the Ford GT is by far the best. Until you drive one you will never understand the why you need one of these in your collection. I do think they deserve to be DRIVEN!!!”

“Thank you. My hubby has been talking about getting one for 10-plus years, and I am getting this to surprise him when he finishes his cancer treatments!”

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

“My dad also has a Judson in his ’56 lowlight and got me hooked on 36hps. I currently have an Okrasa and just pulled a ’58 T2 36hp out of my Brasilia science project. I see at one point in picture 507 this Ghia had an Okrasa setup. I would have loved to talk to the owner/builder and hear their feedback on the differences. Does the motor still have the Okrasa 69.5 crank or upgraded (356/custom) camshaft with the Judson setup? Does it by chance have a the uber rare “high compression” domed VW…”

“When I was President of the Pit Crew at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles I had the privilege of arranging a Tour of Bruce Meyer’s garage off Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Among his fabulous cars (e.g. the first production Cobra) is the SWB Berlinetta that won its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1961, the highest placing of a SWB at Le Mans.”

TheOMDude commented on 250 GT Berlinetta SWB “Revival” by GTO Engineering

“A few years ago I took one down the Oregon coast, right after some seat time in a GT3. Same engine DNA, same urgency to rev, but the experience couldn’t be more different in the best way. Top down, rowing your own gears, flat-six at 9k RPM echoing off the cliffs… it turns every mile into an event. What a great Porsche. Here’s to the next owner racking up the miles on it.”

“I know that Singer, Gunther Works, and others have their devoted fan bases, but for me, nothing does it quite like a RUF, ever since teenaged-me read (and dreamed) about the Yellowbird in Road and Track in 1987.”

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

“@hmondragon1 when these awesome Marauders were introduced I was working for Ford and had the pleasure of using one as a loaner from Ford Motor Company for a few weeks. It was an unbelievable car and I drove it all around Southern California and to Vegas and back. It felt like I was driving a hot rodded couch! Although I was looking for a new ride at the time, I ended out buying a 2003 Mach 1 which I also love to death.
My wife and I both love this car, but as we all have experienced, she said I…”

“I worked for AMC/Renault during development of this vehicle. Renault engineers would trailer them out to MIS (where I worked) and we would run top speed over and over and over after component and tuning changes. I don’t recall the top speed. I do remember that they would huddle around and discuss the current results and then ask us to make a change – then they would look at me and say, ‘encore, s’il vous plait”. It was a dirty job but someone had to do it.”

“This car was purchased from Ed Jurist By Ted Billings in 1966 after Ed had brought it back from South America. That Engine is supposed to be the backup to the Mormon Meteor and was shipped to Argentina so the car could be raced. That is a real blower looks exactly the same as it did in 1966 when Ted took possession of the car. Leo Gephart did not start making reproduction blowers until the 1970s. This is a a great car with real race history in South America. The 1960s photo of the…”

“H.U.04 took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to resurrect, but every bit of it was worth it the moment we saw it completely reassembled.
My team, along with @diverdave36 and so many incredible people throughout the vintage Indy community, spent well over 1,000 hours researching, completely disassembling, meticulously cleaning and cataloging every part, and carefully bringing this piece of history back together.
Every minute spent working on a project like this—or even just being in its…”

GulfGT40 commented on Fuel-Injected, Shelby 496 FE-Powered Superformance GT40 Mk I

“One of my all time favorite cars! I had two kids and one on the way. At the time minivans were the big thing, SUVs hadn’t replaced them yet. I couldn’t afford a minivan, but could afford almost this exact car, then 10 years old.
Those kids were 5 and 3 at the time, but they still remember the car, and watching The Iron Giant with my wife at an Indiana drive in with pizza and popcorn. The way back seat held all of us comfortably on a rainy summer night. I knew even then it was going to…”
