Yesterday’s comments of note You Should Know

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

“One of the iconic Roundel cars that made us fall in love over and over with the marque.
40-years later the love affair is still as strong as ever.
I like this Euro E24 a lot! The miles do not bother me as the M30 is BMW’s small block Chevy motor. Plus, the car has been loved and maintained.
So much to admire on this car from the manual Sport seats to the polished BBS to that polarizing color.
At no reserve means it’s going to find a new home and a lucky new owner.”

“There are a total of 9 known carbon fiber bodied CSX Cobras out of the 10 planned (the registry incorrectly lists 7) and CSX4000R is incorrectly entered without mention of the carbon body. I am a lucky to own one of those 9 carbon Cobras.
IMHO, the carbon CSX cars were always the ultimate Cobra. Carroll came up with the idea of a carbon Cobra after using composite bodywork on the Series 1 car in the late 90s. He was actually involved in the process and all the carbon cars were built while he…”

“Back In 1971 fresh out of high school and still 17 worked with my uncle at a local auto repair garage. My job lowest of lowest was the under the car stuff. In came one of these with a transmission leak. My job clean of all the dirt and grime from years of driving so the mechanics could find the leak. Upon getting the OK was told to go clean up and put on a clean set of coveralls. Upon returning was given the keys and told to drive to a nearby by town and back. My jaw dropped to the ground. 17…”

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

“@sy1616 ………The 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300 Sc Einspritzmotor Coupe was special and important for its combination of cutting-edge technology, superior luxury, and extreme rarity, which cemented Mercedes-Benz’s return to the top echelon of global luxury automakers after World War II.
Mechanical innovation:
The “Einspritzmotor” (German for “injection engine”) designation on the car’s rear bumper signified its most important technical feature.
Mechanical fuel injection: The 300 Sc borrowed…”

“A United Airlines pilot that lived across the street from us when I was a teenager had a 12 cylinder E-Type coupe he bought new. Easy to look at and great sounds. But THIS car has all the modern goodies with no Lucas Electrics gremlins and all the modern upgrades plus a spotless and powerful Ed Pink motor. This would be the Jag I would own. Exceptional build and beautiful car. GLWTA !”

mrliquidity commented on Supercharged 6.2L LT5-Powered 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

“I’ve seen this beauty in person, and let me tell you—it’s been meticulously maintained and absolutely babied. The owner has taken incredible care of it, keeping it spotless inside and out. Everything runs smoothly, looks sharp, and feels road-ready without a worry. If you’re looking for a motorhome that’s been treated with pride and attention to detail, this one is a rare find. You won’t just be buying a rig—you’ll be getting peace of mind knowing it’s been loved and cared for…”

“What a lovely, and well driven example! Tasteful mods, and miles and miles of future enjoyment for the next lucky owner. I’ve owned my 97 C4S for 15 years, she just rolled 135k, up from 63k at acquisition. These cars are just such an experience, just so immensely satisfying to drive…and to own.
Good luck to the seller, and fair notice to potential bidders….well sorted, long term owner, well “driven” 993’s are more scarce by the year. This car will continue to turn heads, and…”

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

“We currently have a 250 SWB in our care that was built in direct collaboration with the exceptional team at GTO Engineering. Prior to joining Mohr Imports, I had the privilege of running GTO Engineering’s Los Angeles operation for several years and visited both the GTO House and restoration facility on multiple occasions.
I can’t say enough positive things about the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and passion that goes into these cars. Having had the opportunity to work alongside both…”

SingleClutch commented on 11k-Mile 2009 Audi R8 Coupe 6-Speed

“Such great trucks, went a decade with minimal styling updates. And the Vortec Chevy 454 is a LEGEND! And if it is really as clean as it appears, someone is going to get an awesome ride. Only thing it is missing from my ideal 3/4 Suburban build sheet would be barn doors in back, but the tailgate is what makes pregaming work too.”

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

“WOW! I am speechless. what an incredible auction full of passionate enthusiasts. I’m humbled by it all, and so incredibly happy to see that people recognize the hard work and love I put into this car — and also the obvious appreciation of the goldilocks nature of the 987.2 2.9L.
thank you to everyone who commented and bid, and especially thanks and congratulations to @D4307. you’re getting a truly incredible car!
I’ll be in pain seeing it go, but as Epictetus said: never say of anything…”

“I have fond memories enjoying this car before selling it to J Seminetta years ago… It’s one of many I wish I never sold! It’s great to see it so well maintained
and cared for all these years. Killer Car! The new owner will love it.”

“Gorgeous! I drove an ‘85 all through college in the ‘90s. Even through the Michigan winters. So many fun times in that car! I sold it with around 150,000 miles on it. Years later i ran into the woman that bought it. She had 220,000 miles on it. Fenders were falling apart with rust. But that in-line 6 still ran like a top!”

“It is hard to imagine now how many of these cars were basically abandoned when gas approached $1.00 a gallon in the late 70s. I bet many people wish they had their old hemi cars now.”
