“Hard to imagine that this stunning body style only lasted 3 years. Peak GM sculpting straight out of mid century Detroit. Whew”
“Just stunning. Hard to imagine today that these were once just considered cars and converted to race cars and sometimes trucks! I read where a wealthy widow donated her late husband’s for scrap to support the war effort.”

“If you haven’t ever heard an F355 with a Tubi exhaust in a nice decently long tunnel run, you should. The 355’s have a Flat plane crankshaft, and with a Tubi Exhaust has a Formula 1 sound… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jchd1Sj6PsM If you are in a hurry, you can start at 30 seconds. If the link does not work you can go to Youtube and search for “Ferrari F355 tunnel run” (by Fast Terrific) Not many cars can give you goosebumps when you hear them, this one does.”

“Fun reading the comments here. I’ve owned many 99s over the years. My first car was a Topaz Yellow ‘76 GL 4 door with 90k miles that I bought in 1980 from my local Saab dealership, Reinertsen Motors. It was $3000, but I traded in my 1 year old Motobecane moped, so net cash was $2400 (plus tax). I later traded that 99 at Reinertsen Motors for a ‘74 Carolina Blue 99 LE like this one because I preferred the utility of the hatchback and it looked more up to date at the time as the 900 was…”

“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.”

“@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!”

“Absolute stunner. Certainly one of the top three motorcycles of all time; likely the ‘top one’.
Exquisite restoration. This can, and ought, to be ridden.”

“I must commend the team at Revology on an absolute triumph of packaging. It is one thing to shoehorn a Gen 3 Coyote into an early-model engine bay, but the way this has been engineered is incredibly clean. You actually left plenty of room to work on the car, and the plumbing is pure art. It takes a truly discerning eye to differentiate this from a factory-spec 1968 Fastback until you pop the hood.
The juxtaposition of eras is beautifully executed. Catching the modern Ford door-ajar chime in…”

“The Torqueflite/rear axle upgrade is brilliant. Bet this dream mobile has easy cruise speeds now, with better economy and crisp shifts to match. Colors, options, upgrades – doesn’t get any better – GLWTA as if that wish is even necessary!”

“This is my previous car. Oh how I loved this car. Way too much fun. So hard to find one in this condition. Love the Recaro seats you added! I’ve owned 6 CRXs – some were DX models and some were Si models. As a tall guy I loved the DX models without the sunroof for the extra headroom! Seller is a stand up guy – GLWTA!!!”

“I’ve been a 912 owner and enthusiast since 1968, and this is by far the finest 912 driver I’ve ever seen. I know the guy who designed and built it, and I’ve seen the car numerous times. It truly is unique. A lot of time, thought, money, and effort went into the car. Everywhere you look, there’s a special touch.
Start with the basics. Look at the panel fit. The engine lid lines up exceptionally well with the fenders, light units, and bumper uprights. The lower quarter panels fit…”

“I’m going to jump in first on this one and declare it to be an amazing build.
The original Avanti is hard to improve on. Like the E-Type, I consider the original car one of the stand out designs of the 20th century.
Over the past 60 years however, improvements in suspension, brakes, and powertrain have made thoughtful enhancements to the original design very desirable.
This Avanti covers all the bases with exceptionally fine taste while not offending the original design. Great…”

“………..calypso red 740i. That sparked a two year search for the “right for me” e38. I was very lucky to find a 2001 740i sport with only 27k miles, which is still sitting in my garage with approx. 30k miles. It still brings me back to the memory of the calypso red e38 in the showroom and the love affair continues.”

“My Dad was a district service manager for GM in the 90s and early 2000’s and as a part of that we would get a new demo car to drive every couple mos. After the dismal launch of the Aztec in 2000, GM wanted to get make the best out of a bad situation so they gave them to every service manager in the country to “get the word out”.
When I turned 16 and got my license, we got the Aztek. Bright yellow if I recall correctly, and rather than the usual 3 mos cycle, we had it for a full 7 mos.…”
