Yesterday’s comments of note

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

“Not sure if it was 62 or 63, but my dad was the sales manager at the local Ford dealership and brought home a 427 Galaxie to show the neighbors. Everyone took turns driving it up and down the street, but the highlight was my mom getting in and smoking the tires the length of 2 houses. Mom was bad-ass!”

“A huge thank you to @pkatzakian (previous owner) for kindly getting these period photographs over to me. Following the discussion in the comments, Phil was able to send them through, and I’m delighted to be able to share them here with everyone.
These photographs show RT3-468 during Phil’s ownership wearing its California Cooler livery and add another documented chapter to the car’s history and provenance. It has been a real pleasure reconnecting with Phil after all these years and…”

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

“I remember seeing these at the Buick dealer in Jamestown , NY. Soon to be just a Honda dealer. Well equipped at base price, and hard to get one.[1976].
I moved back to Washington DC, in mid 78. By fall of 1979, i ordered a [Catherine] brown base car, from a dealer in Fredericksburg VA, which I realized ,after 5 months, was never going to come in. While visiting the local huge dealer in Arlington, I saw a Red LX. I asked if I might buy it for sticker, and the salesmen agreed. Signed the buyers…”

“I am in love. The opalescent paints that Jaguar used during this era are some of the best looking colors ever produced – almost like late ‘50s Detroit colors, but more delicate. Good luck with this auction, but with a car this good looking, I don’t think you need luck!”

“This takes me right back to the ’90s. If you didn’t have a B16 or B18 swap, you wanted one. B16s, B18s, Frankenstein builds this is exactly what we were doing back then. Very cool.”

“These early GM hardtops (Buick and Oldsmobile also had this roofline on certain models in 1949) are both rare and a landmark design. Great proportions. Glad to see one on the market.”

“The Gumball Rally Cobra S/N 3243 had been stored for years until around 2013. Sitting next to it was a 289 Comp.Car. Both came back into the sunlight.

I have photos of CSX3243 in January of 2014 at the shop of an incredible Pebble Beach restoration mechanic and a dear friend.
Chuck Bail really did it right using Daytona Spyder’s, A/C Cobra’s and recording sounds with Parabolic mikes. There will never be another. Sold my Spyder and…”

“I love these so very much, and that winter scene photo reminded me of a similar photo of a friend’s rally race car fairly well burried in the snow after sliding a little too wide in a corner.”

Gnomenclature commented on No Reserve: 68k-Kilometer, Japanese-Market 1998 Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG Wagon

“This is an absolutely stunning car. We had this one at Macchinissima III and it was a favorite. I had the pleasure to drive it a little bit. It is very approachable but the Ford engine does scream with all the best noises. Condition is on another level of this one.”

mbaum commented on 1967 DeTomaso Vallelunga

“My grandfather bought one of these new back in the day and got a surprise when he picked it up after its first scheduled service at the dealership. The service writer put “Aspen” on the repair order, so my grandfather asked him to correct it. Confused, the service guy walked over to his car and pointed at the “Aspen” badge on the side of the car. They walked around to the drivers side and were greeted by a “Volare” badge! I assume the workers on the assembly line just grabbed the…”
