“I have learned Ford did offer a 427ci Auto Trans 1968 Cougar but soon after they replaced that engine with the 428ci Cobra Jet. Wow… this is huge! What a find to locate it here. Some lucky bidder will get a vary rare beautiful automobile.”

“This Mangusta is a great opportunity! I can say this because I owned it prior to Oliver. My shop Grand Touring (grandtouring.com) has considerable experience with almost every Italian exotic. (Recently, we even had two Vallelungas in the shop simultaneously). I searched for quite some time looking for a solid no stories Mangusta for my personal collection. I was excited to find it and never planned to part with it. Regrettably, I needed to part with it to raise cash when the building next…”

“Thank you all for the responses! This car has been in my family since the mid 90’s and one that I fell in love with the moment my Grandfather brought it home. As a kid I use to sit in the back seat and watch him drive it (amazed at how his hands and feet would move) and whenever it was parked I would sit behind the wheel and pretend to drive it myself. When I finally turned 16 he taught me how to drive and although there were many frustrating moments for him and I in this car we both would love…”

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

“I did the rear disc conversion on this truck many years ago. It was done using front hubs (bolt right on) and RRC /DI rear rotors and calipers. I never liked the way Land Rover cheaped out on the factory rear Salisbury disc setup by using the narrow drive flanges with short splines that strip out easily and short spindles with narrow spaced bearings… That’s why I used to do it this way, retaining the far better wide drive flanges and longer axle spline engagement, with wet splines. The…”

“When I was a kid, I remember overhearing a conversation between my mom and dad about it being time for a new car. Final words to my dad were “I don’t care what it is as long as it’s a station wagon!’. Boy, just imagine if he had come home with this one!!”

“I use to own that car. I bought it from the original owner who owned it in Sacramento California. When I sold it through a Ferrari shop located in San Mateo it went back east . At the time it still had it’s original paint and by looking at the pictures I think it still does.. I had both seats redone in the original material that I obtained from Italy.. i remember the car well. ( I designed the battery closing panel as I could not find back then an original battery cover.. The car never had…”

GreenmanWood commented on 215ci V8-Powered 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Sport Coupe 4-Speed

“My best friend has his dad’s 240Z in this color combo. His dad died when he was young and he’s dreamt of getting it out of the garage, rust repaired, and running since. Sadly I’m not sure that day will ever come. This one… this is just fantastic. Wish he could have one go in his dad’s car… one day!
Either way… @raffi is a top person and seller! Best of luck to the future buyer! The car will be delivered as promised.”

“The German language 1989 color info brochure from Porsche lists lachsilbermetallic as color code Z9. I only see three other US market ’89s in this color, would argue that it’s more than 3 paint cans rare, per Rennbow.”

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

“In 1978, just after graduating from college, I held three jobs, waiter in a restaurant, a raft guide in nearby West Virginia, and a luthier. I would work in my wood studio from monday-friday and then hop in my old volvo with my lab to drive to WVA for my Saturday work on the New or Gauley river, then back on Sunday for my 12 hour shift at the Virginian in Charlottesville.
As a 24 year old I had all the energy in the world. In those days the interstate had not yet been completed in WVA so I…”

borneo commented on 49-Years-Owned 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS

“Hi everyone, I bought this incredible 850 with the intention on keeping it forever. Plans change and unfortunately it’s time to part ways. I have had an amazing past year with this car but by far the highlight has to be the road trip home from Calgary to Florida. Instead of heading straight back we headed west thru Banff, Vancouver, Olympic National Park, Redwoods, Monterey Car Week, and Yosemite. I picked up a mattress from Ikea and slept in the back the whole way. 10 days, 5,100 miles and 0…”

“66 is considered a lucky number in various cultures, including Chinese culture, where it symbolizes smooth progress and harmony in relationships. In numerology, it is associated with love, balance, and nurturing partnerships. It’s also a darn fine C2 year!
GLWTA!”

“Got my drivers license when my dad bought one of these in 1963 used. I never got a ticket or bent it, but saw the speedo tick 130 on the Medford viaduct one Sunday morning early, lifters clattering away when I reached the end! Fun car in the day!”
