    “This car always stuck out with ONE simple metric that I read back when it was being tested… 50mph to 75mph, it beat out the Testarossa and Porsche Carrera 4.
    I think we know a hybrid RAV4 today could probably do this, but in period it blew my socks off to know this.
    May this Swedish Testarossa be enjoyed for many more years. GLWTA”

    “Blue is such an underrated color for Ferraris. Most shades of blue look great on Ferraris, specially on larger, front-engine ones like this, the 612, or the FF.”

    “I’d like to thank everyone who joined the conversation. There were many great comments, and I learned a lot about my car. This BaT process has been so cool for me to be a part of. It’s just been fun – maybe the only fun way to let go of this car. Here are a few last pics. Thank you all!!”

    “I worked on the development of these back at the start of my career as an engineer with Isuzu in Cerritos, CA. The prototype from Japan was purple and RHD which got lots of stares and thumbs up Super fun cars to drive. Drove it to Lake Tahoe through many fun roads. Handled pretty well for a SUV.”

    “This 599 is an earlier production as in the later production for 2007 the ceramic brakes became standard. Also, Ferrari jacked up the base price from $258k to $321k base price. Significantly increased the cost. These cars are appreciating fast. F-1 transmission is a very nice transmission in my opinion even though general public prefers the clutch version. Good luck.”

    “A layman’s view.
    In 1987, at the age of 27, I quit my job and travelled to Europe for my 1st time for a 6-month adventure. After skiing a few areas in the Alps, I made my way north, as far as Bergen, Norway. Summer had arrived, and I wanted to have some beach fun.
    The section on France in the Frommer’s Guide had many pages on the Mediterranean Coast, but few on the Atlantic.
    I decided on a road less travelled, the Atlantic. To my pleasant surprise, I discovered a magnificent area…”

    “IMO, the ‘stacked headlight’ GTO versions are the definitive GTO.
    Very cool car. Unique color, mostly see red, black or blue.
    Would love this.”

    “Yes for those who don’t know Vic Skimants was a leading competitor in the SCCA E production class for many years. The knowledge gained on the track was applied to his builds which for those who have them understand well.”

    “My Dad was a district service manager for GM in the 90s and early 2000’s and as a part of that we would get a new demo car to drive every couple mos. After the dismal launch of the Aztec in 2000, GM wanted to get make the best out of a bad situation so they gave them to every service manager in the country to “get the word out”.
    When I turned 16 and got my license, we got the Aztek. Bright yellow if I recall correctly, and rather than the usual 3 mos cycle, we had it for a full 7 mos.…”

    “Even as a “Project” this Hispano-Suiza exudes and elegance few cars can match.
    I suppose it may be because of my affinity for Packards, but a V-12 (with the exception of that dreadful thing used in the Lincoln Zephyr) always grabs my attention. I hope we will get to see this wonderful car completed.

    @Hoppy18 – Reading about this Hispano-Suiza makes for a fine start to a Saturday morning! Thanks for the tag!”

    “For prospective buyers, Marcus Anghel is second to none in Mustang restoration. Getting a car that Marcus restored, even only partially like this one, is an honor. He is at the top for Gen-1 Mustang originality and details. Check out his website for an education.
    And as others have noted, Gulfstream Aqua is a stunning factory color on this model.
    Looking forward to the final price.”

    “My first car was a 73 4 door custom. White with black vinyl roof and bondo fenders my Dad did with chicken wire. Slant 6 with an FM converter added that also picked up TV stations. Also had a 70 340 Swinger in HEMI orange for a few years. I have a soft spot for 70’s Darts. GLWTA!”

    “As a Norwegian, I am baffled by this car being used to ferry kids in the don’t stick out-culture of Sweden rather than any person knowing how to change gears. That’s the most American perspective ever, haha. Imagine this in a sea of ever similar Volvos and the occasional SAAB 9-5 wagon…the V12 sound must have had a hypnotizing effect on the crowd, who went straight home to judge the owner in all ways imaginable…”

    “Beautiful B12 5.7. FYI – this car came with the CSi front spoiler when new from ALPINA. I have the information on all B12 5.7 E31 Coupes and which front spoiler they were delivered with. One could either spec the ALPINA lip or CSi front spoiler when specing the car when new. This car also started life as a CSi. Contrary to common thought, not all B12 5.7s started life as a CSi, but that is for a different discussion at a different time. Beautiful color – Ferrari Red.
    Good luck with…”

    “Yes, this is John Schneider’s Dino.
    In April 1997, he spoke about it in a Motor Trend interview:
    The first Ferrari I got was a ’74 246 GTS Dino. Loved it. Should never have sold that car. It was just a screaming car. I don’t think anybody else could possibly get that much spit out of six cylinders. We had kind of a “cannonball run” going on one night on the way to Texas. I was going to do “Eddie Macon’s Run.” I had my Dino, an Aston Martin Volante, and, also every kid’s dream, a…”
