    “This is amazing and as others have said should at least anchor a Fox collection. I especially appreciate @CoastsideCat ‘s comment noting that 131HP in 1979 was actually a big deal. We’ve become completely spoiled by the evolving technology that now gives us 1,000HP with clean emissions, albeit typically in 4,500lb behemoths.
    I nearly became a new Ford follower rather than jumping on the FWD Mopar developments at the time. The Fox chassis intrigued me as it solved the troublesome loading…”

    “Call me crazy, but I prefer this over the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. You simply can’t use the Bugatti nor remotely explore the limits. This Prelude you can drive at 10/10 and have a blast. Driving a slow car fast is more appealing and easily doable during everyday driving.”

    “I feel like I’m back in College studying again right back from the beginning….throw away the last 60 years of hands on fun and Honda love…..we’ve all been enrolled in CT70, 101….as first year Freshman. Looks like this has become a business……….:)”

    “20 or so years ago my wife and I were staying at the Cypress Inn in Carmel. One morning I got up very early, so early that the hotel staff had not begun morning preparations.
    I stumbled down into the lobby and saw an elderly lady walking the other way. I asked her if she knew where I could get a cup of coffee.
    She smiled a 10,000 watt smile and said there was a place around the corner, or if I wanted to wait she’d make me some.
    She wasn’t in a uniform and had no name tag so not quite…”

    “A cassette deck next to an 8-bit onboard computer, wrapped in wood trim. Perfect. I hope the next owner shares my irrational nostalgia for older interiors.”

    Crovet commented on No Reserve: 21-Years-Owned 2000 BMW M5

    “Not an uncommon swap in the late 1980s. I recall reading a Pontiac Magazine from that era where someone restored a ’69 Firebird that had the Chevy motor in it. There were far more parts available for small block Chevys either through catalogs like J.C. Whitney, or in junkyards, which were chock full of them. And, hey, if it ain’t broke…why fix it? If it gets to the point where the 350 needs to be pulled, then you can start thinking about putting a proper Pontiac motor back in. But,…”

    “Just at the point when after all these years, and carefully observing thousands of listings, you begin to think you’re getting a handle on the collector car market, something like this comes along and puts you back in your place.”

    stev0001 commented on LS3-Powered 1952 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe Sport Coupe ICON Derelict

    “@mhawkeONT When you get behind the perfectly placed seat and controls slung very low and see the iconic view out of the windshield you know you’re in something very special. You see it you feel it. Going through the gears it just sings, the shifter like a rifle bolt unlike any other. The pedals are place PERFECTLY for heal and toeing. The intake and exhaust climbs to insane levels particularly in 2nd gear, the balance and steering weight are just sublime. Brake pedal feel is just right.…”

    “Look at that engine compartment.. not only can you actually see that beautiful big block engine, you can even see the road below! God I miss the simplicity of these old cars! They will forever be timeless.”

    “Gorgeous, significant milestone car! Way ahead of its time. Wonderful restoration and great to see it here on BaT. We’re all excited to see what it will do, as well as the interest and conversations it will spark. If only it were in the U.S., dang!”

    “In the 70’s my Dad owned/operated a MB repair garage in CA. I used to work with him off/on to assist. His biggest job was a 300 SL roadster a client brought in to have the engine, transmission and differential rebuilt prior to shipping the car off to do the complete renovation. When my Dad completed all of the mechanical work, he asked if I’d like to take the SL out for its first test drive. I was surprised and happy to. I took it easy, went through the gears and put about 5 miles on it.…”

    “Whole heartedly agree with all the comments here…especially those about Peter. Absolute class act, deadly honest, insanely talented racer…sold him a few cars and have been following him since his Real Time Racing White NSX days….still have your white NSX framed championship poster on my wall Peter :):). Perfect buy at any price from the perfect seller.GLWTA”

    “Lagoon Green is my new favorite shade of blue.”

    NBoost commented on No Reserve: 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe

    “I owned an ‘85 nearly identical to this. I drove it the way Carroll Shelby intended. I quickly installed the Mopar Performance logic module and after getting the timing dialed in and an AutoMeter boost gauge installed, I was even more ready to “Go Like Hell.” So, one Friday evening in the spring, I was laying down rubber in first and second gear at each stop.
    It must have took a while for the officer to catch up from following the squealing Euro T/A’s, as I don’t believe he ever saw…”

    CarDogThreePedals commented on 46k-Mile 1985 Dodge Omni GLH-T

    “Automatics are great – First, generally driven less spiritedly over their lifetime. Second, the automatic is actually very good. My auto on back roads, 2nd gear could go from about 25 mph to 70 mph. Often with a group of other 02s, I would be pushing the car in front of me that was modified. Third, the auto works while you find that 5 speed that is wider than a 4 speed and what else is wider? The tunnel in an automatic. No hammer needed for installation.
    My next 02, I will look for an…”

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

    “When I look at this listing I can feel Anne’s arms around my waist. Both of us sixteen. Laughing with each other as we sped around sludgoville on those hot summer nights back in ’77 on the bike I picked up for a couple-hundred bucks from a buddy who needed the cash. No helmets. No leathers. Just being kids who thought we were immortal. These days I’m holding on to those moments of youth you can never really hold on to, only remember. But tonight, on this silly website, I can still smell her…”

    “3.8L in a car that weighs as much as a Slim Jim?
    Yes please!
    Some cars come with engines….some engines come with cars.
    One of the most exciting E21s featured on BaT.”

    “Those roof air intakes are SO COOL!
    It must have been so much fun being a car designer during this era. Styling and thinking of the next big thing was the competitive differentiator then. And let’s not forget about the space age influence that began to appear in the late 50s.
    Nice car and restoration @seller.”
