    “The RoundPort exhaust manifolds were the cracker jacks , not the blocks.
    Straight water freezing in them is the #1 block cracker.
    Most times in the lifter valley.
    71 YG code 455 , 2bbl Automatic application. 2bolt mains.
    Correct application #197 455 HO heads
    1972 455 HO 2-piece Intake
    Correct 7041267 carb with legit stampings and proper date code.
    Cracked/Repaired exhaust manifolds.
    All that was covered in days gone by.”

    “@ix_xi
    As a TCR car homologated by the FIA for championships around the world, “it’s mandatory to use Racing Certified TCR fuel with at least 98RON Unleaded.”
    So safe to say you will be fine if you use 98 octane unleaded fuel which is generally available at the track or from any respected vendor.”

    “Well, it was fun bidding on this one. I’m thrilled to buy a 6.0 in such a unique color. Seller did a great job in answering all my questions. I look forward to her being part of the collection. Thanks again to all.”

    “Thanks all! Beautiful auction. Candidly, I know nothing about these cars! I am a Ferrari guy. The way I see it, my dream car is a 250 California spider and this is as close as I’m ever going to get. I’m going to drive the wheels off of it and, if anything should ever happen to the motor, I’ll throw a Colombo in there and will be halfway home!”

    “Wow! Not many cars show up here that makes me gasp, but when this rare (and wonderful) car appeared in my alerts, it got my attention. Back when these first came out, I was a college kid who had a 1988 Mazda cab plus pickup. The local Mazda dealer was very close to campus so getting it serviced there was super easy. This is back in the day when dealers were not always big shiny, fancy buildings. The dealer was small. The showroom held one car and had wood panelling.. but one day, while my truck…”

    “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…”

    “Awesome to see another very early production boss! Curious as to when it initially was sold. I own 2013 Boss 302 #0003 in grabber blue. I purchased it in March 2012 from Al Packer Whit Marsh Ford in MD. They had no idea what the production number was and of course I never mentioned it until after I purchased it, then I received a call a few weeks later asking if I’d sell it back or trade it back for another boss plus cash. I declined. I do have more miles on mine, around 9k. Drove it from NJ to…”

    “Brings back wonderful memories !!
    One of my best friends ordered a ‘63 Galaxie 500 XL Oxford Blue convertible with the 406/405 Tri-Power engine …By the time it arrived it had the new upgraded 427/425 Dual Quad engine..I can vividly remember the first time opening the hood and seeing those chrome valve covers marked 427-T ….I believe the “T” was for transistor ignition.
    The ‘63 Galaxie has always been my favorite Ford, especially the
    “R” code Fastback version.”

    “A lot of the old GN racers, like me, will remember this car. Glad to see it’s still got all the original livery on it, as it’s a history making ride! Will be watching this one!”

    “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…”

    “Man, already at $4M before I could get my comment in….
    I want to thank the team at BaT for bringing us so far. It is amazing to cross the quarter million auctions milestone together.
    And a big thank you to the @1600veloce team for helping us mark the occasion with this beautiful 288. Anthony gets so much well-deserved credit, but it takes the whole team there to do the amazing things they do.
    And maybe my favorite part of BaT is that Lot #250,001, right behind this one, is a…”

    “I want to send a big congrats to the team @BaT for 250,000 listings! Kudos again to the team behind the scenes!
    Our team was so proud to be a part of this journey.
    @bringatrailer Randy I want to thank you for all the support and the fun ideas we have bounced off each other all these years. This listing like any listing, can be a bumper for an MG to a Halo Ferrari. It all belongs here. The best site, the best community.
    We discussed what type of car we would want to list. Well here…”

    “These cars were so ahead of their time. Supercharged, intercooled, 4 wheel discs with ABS, IRS with adaptive damping, even pneumatic adjustable side bolsters. I still have my 35th anniversary 5 speed version, and it remains a pleasure to drive unlike most crude live axle domestics of the era.”
