    “An AMC Hornet on a rotisserie…now that’s something you don’t often see. I like it. The dedication taken to not only restore, but improve upon this perpetual underdog is quite admirable. Bravo! Outstanding results. This noteworthy malaise should get nothing but praise.
    GLWTA.”

    “Could be a straightforward project for Marcos lovers who want to experience ownership. Perhaps a marque expert could chime in on whether the steel frame is of similar configuration to the original plywood ones and where the potential trouble spots might be before asking for more info from the seller. Lewes is a beach town if it originated there then factor in corrosion potential, and one of the road wheels shows signs of same. B18’s are usually bulletproof and agriculturally simple. Send the…”

    “A tip for the seller or new owner: When I replaced the door seals on my E34 M5 I used the seals from an E39. At the time E34 door seals were NLA and the E39 ones were readily available. I had to shorten them a few inches, but otherwise they are a perfect fit.”

    Sixspeedbmw commented on 1991 BMW M5 Dinan

    “The 550 was, by and large, the end of the gated manual era at Ferrari and was the final model offered exclusively with a 6-speed transmission. Gearbox technology was advancing quickly as Scuderia Ferrari dominated F1, so when the updated 575M was introduced in 2002, nearly all of them came equipped with the F1 transmission. Only 246 575Ms were optioned with the manual gearbox, and its successor, the 599, saw just 30 manuals produced.
    The 550 is sleek, slippery, and sexy—a grand touring…”

    “One owner is an extremely rare car. A small group of us starting tacking all the Zanardi’s when they came out. We used to communicate on the old NSX listserv, and then everything moved to Lud’s nsxprime.com. Our spreadsheet had 51 Zanardi’s on it and I still have a hard copy.
    In addition, back in 2008 I pulled all 51 carfax’s. Even then there were fewer than 10 original owner cars. Two of which had never been reregistered, and one of those was known to have a supercharger…”

    1BADNSX commented on One-Owner, 23k-Mile 1999 Acura NSX Zanardi Edition #22

    “This Land Cruiser was originally purchased by William “Bill” Gruenerwald, a geologist, engineer, oil and gas operator, and ranch owner with a remarkable background. A Northwestern University graduate, Gruenerwald worked internationally evaluating mineral deposits and, during World War II, was assigned to the Manhattan Project to research uranium deposits in the American Southwest and abroad. He later spent approximately 40 years as an independent oil and gas operator, drilling and operating…”

    “A symphony of engine and exhaust! Given the size of the 440 (and 383s they also built), they were unable to fit power steering or brakes in the car. As show in the video, you can steer the car with the throttle!
    As for the color, this is one of the best shades of green and suits this car perfectly.”

    “These are great cars. Very nimble. Really high build quality. 2.8 is silky smooth. I bought a 99, new and still have it. I can’t bear to part with it. There are things I like about it better than all the other Audis that I have.”

    “Just at the point when after all these years, and carefully observing thousands of listings, you begin to think you’re getting a handle on the collector car market, something like this comes along and puts you back in your place.”

    “@mhawkeONT When you get behind the perfectly placed seat and controls slung very low and see the iconic view out of the windshield you know you’re in something very special. You see it you feel it. Going through the gears it just sings, the shifter like a rifle bolt unlike any other. The pedals are place PERFECTLY for heal and toeing. The intake and exhaust climbs to insane levels particularly in 2nd gear, the balance and steering weight are just sublime. Brake pedal feel is just right.…”

    “Look at that engine compartment.. not only can you actually see that beautiful big block engine, you can even see the road below! God I miss the simplicity of these old cars! They will forever be timeless.”

    “Gorgeous, significant milestone car! Way ahead of its time. Wonderful restoration and great to see it here on BaT. We’re all excited to see what it will do, as well as the interest and conversations it will spark. If only it were in the U.S., dang!”

    “My son was racing our Datsun roadster in D Production one of the times Paul ran in the same class at Daytona. He wandered up to our crew working on our roadsturd. His crew had sent him to borrow a multimeter. He would just show up and pay the late regristration fees so everyones crew wouldn’t be packed with “crew” there just to catch a look at him as a star. I think he enjoyed just being one of us club racers. Very pleasant to talk to. He wasn’t in a hurry to get back to his crew who might have…”
