    “This takes me right back to the ’90s. If you didn’t have a B16 or B18 swap, you wanted one. B16s, B18s, Frankenstein builds this is exactly what we were doing back then. Very cool.”

    “These early GM hardtops (Buick and Oldsmobile also had this roofline on certain models in 1949) are both rare and a landmark design. Great proportions. Glad to see one on the market.”

    “I am just imagining the amount of time in sourcing all of the proper items from clamps and hardware hoses plating to recreating spot welds. The sheer amount of time would be daunting. @groceg summed up very well in his post.
    I for one I am glad bring a trailer posts are archived and available for reference.
    No need to say good luck with the auction. More of a need to congratulate the future caretaker, complement the work done, and the seller.”

    “i have followed a LOT of MB auctions out here over the years and have bought several with unique colors, but i am pretty sure i have never seen Rubellite Red Metallic. love it with the porcelain interior! quite a beauty!

    “My first car was a 1979 5 door GLE in this same color combo… it was 1987 in Syracuse NY, so there was already rust starting to consume the rear end of that beauty. I drove the hell out of that car lugging amps and guitars to gigs in high school. By the time I graduated in 1989 the rust won and I sold it to a guy who raced SAABs on a frozen lake nearby… her engine and those glorious front red-ish bucket seats went on to live their best life racing in ice rally’s! Her “GLE” badge still…”

    “In 1967, my dad informed me that he had purchased, with my savings, 1960 Falcon with 60K miles for $325.00.
    While it would not have been my choice, I was excited to enter the world of independence from walking, bicycling and public transportation.
    The 144 ci engine didn’t last long with my heavy foot and the constant diet of re-refined oil I fed it from our local Site gas station.
    I found a 260 at the junk yard and that was a great improvement.
    The original radiator did not like the 260, so…”

    “Besides the provenance of RH and HA, this is an awesome spec – ’71 with Stroppe installed power steering and auto with lettered adapter. Exciting to have and driving the 4 turn steering offroad is awesome. Ask me how I know.”

    “A downright handsome car and true survivor. These were rare when new and can’t imagine many are still around.”

    “I know that Singer, Gunther Works, and others have their devoted fan bases, but for me, nothing does it quite like a RUF, ever since teenaged-me read (and dreamed) about the Yellowbird in Road and Track in 1987.”

    “in all this auction excitement, I’ve devoted a certain amount of my morning coffee time searching the internet for my own Ferrari 288 GTO – a number of which are thankfully within my price range, including Walmart, for about $100.
    However, due to their scaled down 1:18 size and non-running status, it’s unlikely I’ll be driving it anywhere other than “my imagination” during this lifetime.
    Perhaps my NEXT lifetime.”

    “Another interesting fact thanks to Andy is this car was shipped on August 17, 1965 and delivered to Hayward Motors in CA and on the deliver truck were two additional 350’s as well as a prototype GT40….now that would be a cool truck to see driving down the road!!! This car is a statement piece and one of the true great American muscle cars.”

    “Fantastic listing, beautiful wagon. Every time I look through the gallery it brings back memories of the days of wooden picnic baskets and surfboards with the family, when times were just a tad slower. @bosshoss3406pack thank you for the tag, great memories with this one.”

    “Oh my… not sure if anyone remembers the ’67 Plymouth GTX ads in Hot Rod magazine. Roasting the rear tires?
    I do… and wanted one ever since!”

    “This is what the first-gen Celica liftback was meant to be. We got what was spec’ed for US market, same chassis but with the big 5mph bumpers and a much lower-performance engine. The 20R is great for a truck, but 100 hp at 4800 rpm isn’t as much fun as an 18R-G140 hp at 6500 rpm in a sub-2500 lb car.

    Were the dash and console panels painted gray? I believe all the RA29s had woodgrain vinyl stickers, which harked back to the 2000GT’s beautiful woodwork, but perhaps that was also…”

    “What an amazing man.
    Martin L. Swig, February 8, 1934 – July 3, 2012.
    A quintessential West Coast “car guy,” he organized the California Mille (1000 mile historic race car tour on Northern California back roads) in 1991 after discovering and driving Italy’s most-famous open road race (Mille Miglia) in 1982.
    Summing up his priorities in the historic motorsport world, he dedicated his event to “Great cars, Little Roads, and Wonderful Friends.”
    He kidded sedentary TV sports types with his…”

    “Back in the year 2001, I had this long-held notion I’d own a BMW 2002 in the YEAR 2002. So, obviously I began my search too early and found one far too quickly. So, In the dead of Winter, I rented a car and drove from Michigan to Washington DC and bought an Inka 1973 2002tii with sunroof. I drove it home, missing the blizzard in Pennsyvanis by a half day.
    A few years later, in 2005, when I moved to the West Coast I drove it to from Michigan, covering 5000 miles within a month — crossing…”
