“Easily the most complex post war automotive engine! It took one very long day by a highly skilled mechanic just to set the valve timing. My late brother-in-law Jim learned this the hard way. He was a very gifted high school athlete and he received a “full ride” scholarship to college. He father said “I’ve saved this money for your education, but since you won’t need it, we can buy you a nice car…what type would you like?” No one in the family really knew a lot about cars or mechanics, so when…”

Leif_in_Calif commented on Porsche Fuhrmann Four-Cam Engine

“My Grandfather had a red one when I was child and I thought it was the coolest thing this side of Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang. Circa mid 70’s it had the small 6/3 Speed, and its capabilities were virtually unlimited. There was nothing it could not do – snatch a beefy ski boat out of the lake, crawl out of the woods with a load of wood … burn rubber through the Ozarks like there’s beer in Texarkana. Hot-dawg it was cool and commanded compliments everywhere. He had repainted it himself in a…”

“A fellow named Irv Gordon had a ‘66 Volvo P1800S and drove it for 50 years till his death in 2018 at which time he had clocked a little over 3,200,000 miles and is the Guinness world record holder. Goes to show that there are some things you just never get tired of. :)”

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

“The seller has done a good job giving a brief history of Cisitalia. I have studied these cars for over 40 years and have four of them (Two 202 coupes and two D46s) and had a 202 Cabriolet so perhaps I can provide some clarification. Approximately 110 coupes were made and about 60 cabriolets. Pinin Farina (later changed to Pininfarina) made the first batch of coupes in 1947-48, but then ramped up on working for Ferrari, etc. so most of the remaining coupes were done by Stabilimente Farina and…”

Cisitalia_Guy commented on Ex–Mille Miglia Storica 1952 Cisitalia 202 SC Gran Sport Cabriolet by Stabilimenti Farina

“I am the farmer who owned this car for years and everything the seller says is true. It was never in any kind of wreck while I owned it. I drove it for about 100000 miles. It had about 22000 miles on it when I purchased it. I drove it like a 930 should be and never had any problems with it, other than I decided to have the engine rebuilt as stated. If you’ve never driven an older Porche over a hundred mph be sure to have both hands on the wheel and pay attention!! The buyer sent a person…”

“Who’s ready for a Story?
This Car is coming back to Maryland. My father-in-law was the Owner that bought the car in MD. A family member sold the car after his passing without us knowing. I have been searching for a white on cinnamon e46M3 for the better part of the last decade…. When this popped up I got excited. When I saw it was originally from MD, I thought there was a chance. When I saw his name on the paperwork in the old listing I LOST MY MIND… I am so excited to get his car back for…”

“It really does belong in a museum. We have over 1,000 visitors on saturdays and 10,000+ monthly. Lots of old geezers like me that were around body work.”

DFWcarandtoymuseum commented on No Reserve: c. 1945 Blackhawk Bantam Porto-Power Tool Kit

“Gorgeous car that is well known by the car people on the local show circuit. To those pondering adding a new Mustang bid with confidence. This is a top notch professional build with ties to a highly regarded local performance shop. Owner is a very nice guy too. I’ll miss seeing it at the local big events. Good luck Mr. H”

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

“Some final hour Sport evolution M3 fun facts.
The sport evolution is the 3rd evolution of the E30 M3 homologated for racing. It was produced for just 3 months in 1990 resulting in 600 models. 500 models were required to evolve a race car at the time. Only 204 Red Sport evos were ever made.
This car is 100% original in terms of parts. The modifications are exactly as it left BMW.
The Sport evo was the only E30 M3 to feature a 2.5 Liter S14 engine making 238 HP.
Some easy to spot visual…”

“In the 70’s (in college), I had a summer job at Stern-Hasskell ( high end dealer ) in the Bronx NY. That is where I saw my first and only Mangusta. I never forgot it. It is as stunning today as it was all those many years ago. Thanks for the memories!!”

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

“Formula for years, worked in secrecy with Mercury and designed the 500 Super Sport Crossover expressly for the new 600-hp Mercury Verado V12.
It was the first boat fitted with these innovative V-12 motors that had a fixed powerhead and a rotating lower unit.
I saw the original factory black hulled SSC at Soverel Harbor in Palm Beach Gardens when it first hit the water,
Spent some time talking with the crew, admiring the boat and the serious Mercury motors the likes of which I’d never seen…”

RussR commented on 2023 Formula 500 Super Sport Crossover

“I love this car – the color is one of my top choices – and that interior … so cool and unique – I have a ’74 GTS and as others here have said the driving experience is special – so low to the ground with the motor humming on your shoulder – hypnotic – GLWTA”

neelfryer commented on 1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS

“There are two of us in the USA (that we know of) that have Turkis Coupes, me being one of them. No matter where I drive, I get thumbs up and comments about what an amazing color this is and how well it compliments the smooth curvy lines of an E9. This example looks nearly perfect, and the seller is THE source of E9 expertise. You can buy this car with the utmost of confidence, and join Club Turkis! You won’t be disappointed! GLWTA!”
