    “My dad had one of these back in the day. The drivetrain was something else. We owned it to about 250k miles before selling it on the original clutch, transmission, turbo, head gasket, diffs, etc. It’d been chip tuned the whole time to almost 300hp for most of that.
    Not that it was cheap or easy to keep the rest of the car in shape around that drivetrain….but still, this was Audi at its best.”

    Good luck.

    “Nothing beats the simplicity of an old truck. No screens, no tech just three pedals and a steering wheel. GLWTA!”

    “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!”

    “While hitchhiking to the 1966 Comblain Latour Jazz Festival I got stranded somewere south of Liege.It was a wet and heazy night.In the far distance under the orange light of a lonely streetlamp I noticed a highly unfamiliar shape.It looked like some kind of alien spacecraft.As I got nearer I saw that it wasn’t a space vehicle,but a road car of a type I didn’t know it existed,had never seen before,and for that matter have never seen again,save for some pictures.It was a Bizzarini like the one…”

    CarKoen commented on 1968 Bizzarrini 5300 GT America

    “Folks, the Gen 5 Viper was the epitome of everything great with cars. Manual transmission, rear wheel drive, hydraulic steering, and beautiful art inside and out with modern day technology. They will never make cars like this again and nothing made right now even matches the visceral feel of this. When you have mass produced 911s going for 200-500k, it’s amazing that this is not going for more than 500k. Those cars are so boring compared to this!”

    “What an extraordinary find!
    That toothy front may well have inspired this 1955 Motorama Dream Car:

    And there is a hint of Karmann-Ghia coupe in the roofline and rear haunches, pic #5.”

    “This jeep has been great to own for over 31 years. I just decided that it is time to move on and find a buyer who will appreciate it and take care of it like I have. It was one of the very last to be built with a 5-speed manual transmission, which makes it a rare find. I welcome any questions that buyers may have. Thank you for your interest.”

    “That’s legit and 100% original IMHO. Worked at a Schwinn shop as a kid and put together a few of those. A lot of people (cool kids) ditched the front fender. That’s the original seat. Those are the original pedals. This is all recollection but very clear. . They were wheelie machines and no fun whatsoever to get up a hill! An early but awesome memory! GLWTA!”

    “I am the previous of this car and I knew the engineer that built the car. The builder was a very talented engineer and sadly he passed away. I knew the car and I bought it from his estate. The car is a blast to drive and I will miss it. The only reason I have for selling it is that I am getting old and I still have a bucket list of cars that I would like to own before it is too late. I am sure that the new owner of this car will get a lot of enjoyment out of it.”

    “It is a particular pleasure to make comments about this particular alloy engine . disc brake 300SL Roadster. 210 of the total of 1958 300SL Roadsters manufactured between ’57-’63 had the lower weight alloy block engines. These were produced from 3/62 through 2/8/63. The factory built an initial run of 229 numbered alloy block engines, all in 1962, 19 of which were “spares” I owned a number of this variety of 300SL RO’s including this one from ’89-’98. As I recall it was completed in the…”

    “My wife & I got married in July 1978. We packed her little red Chevette to the hilt with all of our wedding gifts and drove from Chicago to Houston with only gas stops along the way. Took us 24 hours! After a few years the drivers floor pan rusted through. A sheet of 3/8 plywood cut to size fixed that. It was no longer the Fred Flintstone mobile! Also had a problem with the horn button. Every time we would turn the wheel to take a corner the horn would honk. NO PROBLEM! We would wave at…”

    “In the late 60’s early 70’s between the ages of 8-12 my dad would take me to a little known dragstrip in Laplace LA about 25 miles west of NO…He would take me into the pit and there I met Big Daddy Don Garlits…he was in the back of the pits with his front engine rail with just a few guys as his crew…loved drag racing every since…saw all the superstars Sox & Martin – Don “The Snake” Prudhomme – Tom “The Mongoose” McEwen – Shirley Muldowney – Jungle Jim – Danny “The Flying Hawalian”…”

    Life is too short for boring color combinations!”
