“As I remember, even the US spec lights were pretty good on these, very bright long range high beams. For all those who know 504D’s, this is as good as you’re going to get in the states.”
“As per the driving video – this car still has less squeaks and rattles than any Lamborghini Diablo”

“Did you know that the US Spec engine has a 9.5:1 compression ratio and the Euro spec has 10.3:1 ? Let me tell you, you can feel the difference. Also, did you know that the ’84, with it’s hold over “SC interior” is the lightest of the ’84 to ’89 Carreras? That makes this the lightest, with it’s slicktop, and most powerful Carrera in the ’84 to ’89 range.”

“Back in 1971 I was a 19 year old with a dream job of driving cars for the California Auto Auction. On one of my runs heading north on 101 from Burlingame to San Francisco, I was listening to the giants pregame, literally MINUTES before the first pitch. Traffic was fairly heavy approaching candlestick park when I noticed in my rear view mirror a bright pink Chrysler Imperial absolutely SCREAMING through traffic, changing lanes like an Indy car driver. As it flew past me and headed towards the…”

“Having owned a few examples of every iteration of the VW bus, I consider the 1978 to be the best year. The driving experience is really hard to beat in any vehicle. IYKYK. So many have been downgraded with carburetors. I drove a 78 all over the US and back and forth to Alaska in the 1990s. Used it to start my business in Northern Minnesota where I drove it year round for several years. I jump started many a neighbors cars and trucks. Interesting point- a member of a new new bluegrass band in…”

“This is an amazing car, I remember seeing it at Nth Moto many years ago. Every S7 is special, but this one being modified to “11” by Nth Moto (probably the best bespoke high performance shop in the country) makes it even moreso. If anyone is hesitant about this being modified, don’t be. Whether it’s Viper, Ford GT, Lambo, etc anything Nth Moto touches turns out exceptional and their quality of work is better than OEM. Good luck with the auction, seller. Beautiful car.”

“@tonanzintla Thank you for the Tom Matano mention! I think it was 2002 that I took my Miata to the Laguna Seca historics where there was a Miata corral. I remembered that Tom Matano was there with a De Tomaso I had never seen. In recent years, I’ve been trying to remember what it was. Thanks for solving my dilemma! I remember it as being small.”

“Hi to all. Yes I am happy to own an Elan again. I use to own an Elan S4 1970 back in 1971 in New York and I’ve never stopped missing it since I sold it after a couple of years ….even dreaming about it every now and then!”

“My brother Doug, working with our aeronautical engineer father, the late James L. Amick, handcrafted this line in ’83 – ’84. It was a natural extension of the original Windmobile, featured on the cover of Popular Science in the 70s, which he created while just a teenager. The Windmobile was even more experimental: it was conceived as a sailing vehicle (originally on ice) and had no motors. To this end, it was fitted with two concentric steering wheels — one for normal steering, and a larger…”

“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…”

“This car was my dads for about 40 years. When he died my brother brought it to California where he did a massive overhaul. Forgetting the money, this Jaq has memories that fulfill a lifetime! I drove it twice, once on the stage of a charity fashion show and another when at a polo match in town Albert , my dad, had to quickly leave to get a friend to the hospital. He drove in the 4th of July parade for years; might have over heated a time or two. He tried to teach my 15 year old son to…”

“Great to see this notable car was recovered from the theft unbruised. As the owner of a Hotchkis equipped 72 challenger with a 408 stroker, Whose done 2 Hot Rod Power Tours in it, i can say these are great performers on hiway or in the twisties. Recommend trading out to Recaros for us full bodied guys!”

“So many great options this week!
That said and cars aside, the one that got me was for the story, not so much the car. That’s a tall statement considering my self avowed love of Packards, which is well know here. And this one is a real corker! Oh, and the Delahaye is stunning too.
I chose the 1917 Packard owned by a young man so sadly lost in “The War to End All Wars.” The family was so devastated they couldn’t part with it, yet they couldn’t bear to see it either. In storage for forty…”

“I’m the previous owner that purchased this off of BAT earlier this year. I’ve owned a lot of cars and this car is one of the best. It will not disappoint! The only reason it left my collection is because I traded several vehicles to Parin on a larger purchase. I loved the car bc it reminded me of the older Ferraris and Lamborghinis without the mechanical headache and all the creature comforts of a modern car. Nothing to pick on this one. It’s ready to drive and enjoy at a fraction of the…”

“@MikeDrew what a truly wonderful comment and such a joy to read your first hand memories from the De Tomaso factory. Thank you for sharing this with all of us, it adds so much depth to the story of the Guarà.
You are absolutely right, this is the BMW powered version with the additional gear setup to align engine and gearbox. Early cars had the straight-cut gears and the later cars the helical gears, this Guarà Spyder fitted with the latter as you can softly hear in the driving video.…”

“For those wondering, here’s the lowdown. This car completes my 69 Chevy SS matching numbers collection. They’re getting so hard to find and I had the privilege of driving this one last week. Well represented by the seller and I have my own body shop. Its new home is 100 miles west of the seller in Washington State. It will be restored to factory spec. Thanks for reading.”
