“This is why I love this website.”
“My father loved VWs and I grew up surrounded by a barnyard of mostly early 50s cars and vans. We swapped engines without any regard for anything except which ones ran the best. This is an amazing car anyway, but what truly astonishes me is the original engine still in place. Incredible.”

“I did the rear disc conversion on this truck many years ago. It was done using front hubs (bolt right on) and RRC /DI rear rotors and calipers. I never liked the way Land Rover cheaped out on the factory rear Salisbury disc setup by using the narrow drive flanges with short splines that strip out easily and short spindles with narrow spaced bearings… That’s why I used to do it this way, retaining the far better wide drive flanges and longer axle spline engagement, with wet splines. The…”

“When I was a kid, I remember overhearing a conversation between my mom and dad about it being time for a new car. Final words to my dad were “I don’t care what it is as long as it’s a station wagon!’. Boy, just imagine if he had come home with this one!!”

“I use to own that car. I bought it from the original owner who owned it in Sacramento California. When I sold it through a Ferrari shop located in San Mateo it went back east . At the time it still had it’s original paint and by looking at the pictures I think it still does.. I had both seats redone in the original material that I obtained from Italy.. i remember the car well. ( I designed the battery closing panel as I could not find back then an original battery cover.. The car never had…”

“Tip of the hat to the full undercarriage detail, complete tool kit, original warning stickers on dip stick & suspension components and gas filler recess weld seam photos. This thing is crisp!”

“I just got back from a wonderful trip to Italy.
My faith in humanity was restored, never in my life had I seen so many cool wagons and hot hatches ripping up and down the Autostrade and country roads. Even really neat turbo diesel variants.
The Europeans get it.
Us Americans don’t…still not sure why every household Stateside needs a full size pick-up truck or massive SUV the size of my first college apartment.
I love this auction collection!
The Toyota Crowns are so fantastic, do not…”

“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…”

“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…”

Corsetti commented on 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60
“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.”

“I remember the day when, “stock car” races, the cars had to be stock. So each manufacturer made a special super car and produced only 2000 of then, just so they could race them. I wish they still did this.”

“The best color and the best year to own.
Road trip? This is the car you want. Need to do a Costco run for a family gathering of 100 people? The Impala trunk has you covered!
Some of the best air conditioning and heat you’ll ever encounter in a car.
And if you desire more power you can do what I’m doing now after 13 years of ownership. Lloyd Elliot heads and cam for some more fun. 🙂
GLWA and I hope the next owner puts some proper mileage on this beast.”

“The 991 GT3T reigns supreme. Many folks say the 992 is superior. When you sit in a 992 you stare into the soulless abyss of darkened computer screens.
I don’t care how good a 911 is if it makes me feel like I’m at work staring at a computer screen!”

“I figured it was about time I got a GS – having grown up with DS’s starting in 1962 when my late father, the first industrial hygienist in the US, brought home, a 58 DS 19 – the early series which was as complicated as they could get. Funny thing was it was a trade-in at a Studebaker dealers shop in Salt Lake City Utah, the middle of nowhere back then. but dad, although a chemist, had a hankering for mechanical stuff and built large gasoline powered model airplanes when he was a kid.

“I will say this with great confidence. This coach is a unicorn. I can’t predict outcomes but I know from thousands of miles on the rv highway that this rig is the real deal. The new owners will have both a show piece and an amazing coach. In the rv world these coaches in well preserved form are showstoppers.”

“Great to see such an excellent example of the car that reset the standard of what to expect from a small car. Not enough people understand how the Accord raised the bar for attractive design and basic equipment. The rustproofing material is most typical of any car sold in western Pennsylvania, where salt use and rust were commonplace… probably instrumental in keeping this car on the road and on your screen today.

“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.”

“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.”

“I am Bernie’s eldest daughter. I would like to thank everyone for their positive comments. My dad has read them all. I would also like to “publicly” thank @skydriver1949 for the countless hours he has spent helping my dad through this process. My dad bought this car when he was 32 and it’s been a cherished (and fun!) part of our family. While it’s difficult to part with the car, it’s time for someone new to be able to appreciate its history.”
