“So glad it has retained a flathead engine over the years / updates, and not a 350 or other replacement. This car is MEANT for that flathead.”
“Finally got one! Thanks all”
A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“This 599 is an earlier production as in the later production for 2007 the ceramic brakes became standard. Also, Ferrari jacked up the base price from $258k to $321k base price. Significantly increased the cost. These cars are appreciating fast. F-1 transmission is a very nice transmission in my opinion even though general public prefers the clutch version. Good luck.”

“A layman’s view.
In 1987, at the age of 27, I quit my job and travelled to Europe for my 1st time for a 6-month adventure. After skiing a few areas in the Alps, I made my way north, as far as Bergen, Norway. Summer had arrived, and I wanted to have some beach fun.
The section on France in the Frommer’s Guide had many pages on the Mediterranean Coast, but few on the Atlantic.
I decided on a road less travelled, the Atlantic. To my pleasant surprise, I discovered a magnificent area…”

“IMO, the ‘stacked headlight’ GTO versions are the definitive GTO.
Very cool car. Unique color, mostly see red, black or blue.
Would love this.”

“Yes for those who don’t know Vic Skimants was a leading competitor in the SCCA E production class for many years. The knowledge gained on the track was applied to his builds which for those who have them understand well.”

“I am just imagining the amount of time in sourcing all of the proper items from clamps and hardware hoses plating to recreating spot welds. The sheer amount of time would be daunting. @groceg summed up very well in his post.
I for one I am glad bring a trailer posts are archived and available for reference.
No need to say good luck with the auction. More of a need to congratulate the future caretaker, complement the work done, and the seller.”

“My first car was a 1979 5 door GLE in this same color combo… it was 1987 in Syracuse NY, so there was already rust starting to consume the rear end of that beauty. I drove the hell out of that car lugging amps and guitars to gigs in high school. By the time I graduated in 1989 the rust won and I sold it to a guy who raced SAABs on a frozen lake nearby… her engine and those glorious front red-ish bucket seats went on to live their best life racing in ice rally’s! Her “GLE” badge still…”

“When I first saw this auction I wanted to Jump! I expected there to be an Eruption of bids due to provenance. Driving at 10/10th would be like Runin’ With the Devil for sure. This car is the stuff Dreams are made of. If I won, I would definitely Dance The Night Away. OK I am done…”

“I grew up in a family of chevy owners, just chevy’s, and I had my big block in high school. Then the new girl friend asks me over to meet her family and what does the Dad have, an Opel Manta in orange. He takes me out to inspect it and at some point hands me the key and says, have fun. Well, I did and from that point forward my world changed. Tried to talk my dad into letting me buy an MGB, that didn’t work until I bought my own in college and started auto X’ing with it. Then road racing…”

“Very excited. I have been looking for a long time, and plan to use it as a daily driver as well as occasional track use. So the somewhat odd spec is perfect for my intended use. I am far from being a professional driver, so I plan to enjoy this for many years.”

“What a priceless pair of twins. As the original owner of a 1970 Triumph Bonneville, I can fully appreciate this small, but wonderful example of Triumph history. My 1970 Bonneville was still in the wooden shopping crate when I picked it.ip at the shipping dock. It was sent to me unassembled and unpreped for retail delivery. My dealer was so busy with sales and deliveries in 1970, he did not have time or staff to open the crate, assemble and prep my bike and fabricrate a new shipping crate. I…”

“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!”

“Hello! My name is Peter and I love Volvo 240s. I learned to drive in a 240 wagon and the first car I ever owned was another 240 wagon. I have since owned and refurbished dozens of 240s and I regularly help other people with their 240s in Portland, Oregon. My current daily driver is a blue 1987 Volvo 240 Wagon with 444k miles on it. I bought it non-running a few years ago and have since put 27k miles on it, including a many road trips around the west coast.
This green 1979 Volvo 242 is a…”

“I’m not old enough to have experienced this… But imagine seeing one of these in 1969.
Verde Miura over blue is quintessential Lamborghini.
Amazing design.
One of the greatest ever.”

Button commented on 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400 S
“I never thought I would say it, but, as this car shows, the cool factor for Cads has surpassed BMW, Audi, and Porsche. They finally got their interiors right too. Apparently the market agrees. The average transaction price for Cadillac is now $90k – more than BMW, Audi, and Mercedes, and behind only Porsche and Range Rover (you can’t really get any Porsche for $90k any more so that isn’t surprising).”
