    “Former owner of this car, here. This was one of the best running and funnest driving 911’s I have ever owned. The E model has smaller numbers, but probably is the best driving street machine out of all the early cars. 1972 model to boot! For a little background, this car was purchased brand new by an airline 747 captain living in Tiburon, CA. Years later I find myself working for that same airline. A few years back I was flying with a guy on a multi day trip. We were shooting the breeze while…”

    “Beautiful example, as usual from David! Love love love love the original paint and stripes, even with blemishes here and there that attest to its lifetime of soulfulness. The R50 is such a smooooooth sweet little bike, everyone needs one! Good luck to all interested bidders, these original paint beauties don’t come around often.”

    “I know this car better than most, having owned it for seven years between 2016 – 2023 and being mostly responsible for the condition that it is presented in today. 
    I have owned three DC2’s in total, they are wonderful drivers cars, for the enthusiast. 
    This one however  is truly unrepeatable, it genuinely is a special car. 
    when I bought the car it was unmolested, completely factory original with complete history, all keys and literature present even down to the original dealer plates…”

    “Way back in the day, in 1963 when I was just 14 years old, there was one of these for sale at the local Skelly station. The place was a favorite hangout for many of us early teens, and the car was parked on the side of the station. It was a dark blue, light blue, and white combination as I recall, and I thought it was the coolest thing on wheels. So, I managed to drag Dad over to take a look.
    I thought he might also find it cool, as he was a car guy, and I thought maybe I could get him to…”

    “In 1960 as senior in high school I was a member of the Ecurie Ecosse Association. The team came to Watkins Glen to run in Formula Libre race. Went down to the pits to say hello and got invited to be a “guest pit crew member” for Sunday’s race!! I expected to stand in the corner out of the way! Big surprise I was tasked with carrying the pit signal board from the pits to edge of the track to signal Roy Salvadori driving the team’s Cooper Monaco!! Keep in mind no pesky waivers to sign for a…”

    “The car is one thing, the person that Ken Block was is something else. Watching the video of him teaching his daughter how to do donuts shows a special person in love with live and his family.”

    “Cool car. Not many Sprints with the OHC six still running around. Might not be the fastest Firebird out there, but definitely one of the more interesting ones.”

    David_C. commented on 1967 Pontiac Firebird Sprint Coupe

    “The Shelby Shadows are the one Whittier issue I never owned. But I did have a Shadow ES 4dr with the VNT Turbo lV which is even more rare. The variable nozzle turbo was magic, with low RPM response and torque to match the top end. It was also brave of Garrett to put a dynamic turbo housing into a production car with the vicious heat cycle. Mine grenaded when fortunately I was able to find a complete new one off the shelf.
    @Craven Funny you call out the Sundance, one of my favorite cars…”

    “This is a staggering amount of engineering. To the casual observer it will be hard to detect as the person / team that did this, did it to an OEM standard where you can’t tell where the custom parts start and stop.
    Just getting the new long block into the correct position (clears the hood, cross member, firewall, etc.) is hours of trial and error, design work and then fabricating. Then there are all the ancillary items that have to fitted, plumbed and wired, shift linkage, gauges, drive…”

    “This 6-series Packard has been a goal to own one – of my Dad and I – our whole lives and finally hope to obtain. This would be for me to enjoy for my retirement.”

    “I own a 1938 Flying Squirrel. The engine number is one digit away from this bike and the frame number is two digits away. When I contacted the Scott Club Registry to authenticate my bike I was advised that 220 Flying Squirrels were produced (500cc and 600cc versions combined) in 1938. The whereabouts of 101 were known. Of those, twenty had the redesigned detachable head as does this bike. GLWTS”
