    “Long ago,(Y2Kish) my parents owned a small apt complex where a 85 year old lady was a long time tenant. She had a Fairlane almost identical to this, but a coupe, with an automatic. And she patronized a muffler shop with a sense of humor. I hope they didn’t charge her too much for making it sound almost exactly like a GT350. Braaaap!
    The dog dish hubcaps found both here and on Mrs. Nitzkowski’s Fairlane reminded me of her Humane Society bumper sticker. “It’s OK if my dog is driving.…”

    “I was talking with a gentleman the other day about the GTS and we ended up swapping stories about some of the cars we’ve owned. One that came up was my 2011 911 Carrera GTS. Really nice example — black, PDK, factory AeroKit — but it was full leather everywhere with zero Alcantara.
    He made a great point that stuck with me. what really defines the GTS driving experience is the Alcantara. It’s one of those subtle things you don’t fully appreciate until you get back into a properly…”

    “My dad also has a Judson in his ’56 lowlight and got me hooked on 36hps. I currently have an Okrasa and just pulled a ’58 T2 36hp out of my Brasilia science project. I see at one point in picture 507 this Ghia had an Okrasa setup. I would have loved to talk to the owner/builder and hear their feedback on the differences. Does the motor still have the Okrasa 69.5 crank or upgraded (356/custom) camshaft with the Judson setup? Does it by chance have a the uber rare “high compression” domed VW…”

    “When I was President of the Pit Crew at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles I had the privilege of arranging a Tour of Bruce Meyer’s garage off Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Among his fabulous cars (e.g. the first production Cobra) is the SWB Berlinetta that won its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1961, the highest placing of a SWB at Le Mans.”

    TheOMDude commented on 250 GT Berlinetta SWB “Revival” by GTO Engineering

    “A few years ago I took one down the Oregon coast, right after some seat time in a GT3. Same engine DNA, same urgency to rev, but the experience couldn’t be more different in the best way. Top down, rowing your own gears, flat-six at 9k RPM echoing off the cliffs… it turns every mile into an event. What a great Porsche. Here’s to the next owner racking up the miles on it.”

    “For those asking: it will be back close to home. I’m in the Virginia Beach area so about 2 hours from Richmond where the original owner/builder was.
    I joined JUST to bid on this car. It’s been my favorite build of all time since I saw it 10+ years ago. Once I saw it was for sale I knew I had to take a shot at it.
    So unbelievably happy that I won!”

    “”Built with the 2.8L EFI V6 and 5-Speed Manual Overdrive Transmission: 1,564 (less than 7% of production)”
    As a former XR4Ti owner who frequented the Merkur forums in the late ’90s and early ’00s, I can tell you that examples with the 5-speed manual were engine swap gold in salvage yards. (Though perhaps only the later/larger 3.0 V6?)
    Specifically, those looking to ditch the Merkur’s 2.3T and replace it with the V6 from the Taurus SHO. This transmission and bellhousing made the swap much…”

    “The swap is Fonzie-cool all by itself, but the fact that this swap is entirely hiding in absolute plain sight is incredibly brilliant. The exterior says Grandma-and-Grandpa’s old Oldsmobile and nothing but a clean and bone stock Brougham.
    The gauges and the OEM CB are the chef’s kiss to complement this newfound proper-power Diesel.
    Besides, anyone can do an LS-swap.”

    “This is cool. During the 1950s and 1960s, my grandmother worked for Helms Bakery in Montebello, CA. When I was young, I toured the plant and saw her working—baking donuts.
    She would bring home the cardboard miniature Helms trucks for me…
    Decades later, for her 90th birthday party, I made it a Helms Bakery–themed event and found an original unfolded cardboard Helms Bakery truck on eBay. I reproduced them so each table had a miniature Helms truck.
    The family went nuts over those…”
