    “@pa_hillbilly @Goog66 Thanks!! Well fought!
    Quick story…my buddy was on @BAT yesterday, and he happened to see a 1972 Elkhart Green Corvette that looked a lot like the one my father used to own. He clicked on the link, and crazily, this car was located in Mentor, Ohio, not far from where we live. I know my father sold this car back in 2003 to someone local (he owned it since 1975), but I had no idea that it was still in the area. I basically lost track of it. Sure enough, the VIN checked…”

    “Looking through the photos at the hand built beauty of this Cheetah is a reminder of a time when a bunch of guys with a dream could put something like this together.
    Some chrome moly, fiberglass and a bunch of odd parts and down the road you go. Like when my dad and I built a go cart from a Sears catalogue and a Briggs and Stratton lawn mower motor.
    Miss those days.”

    “In the summer of 1971, my parents took my brother, sister and me across country in a 67 Camaro 327 Sport Coupe towing a U-Haul covered trailer from Los Angeles to New Jersey. We were 13, 11 and 6 years old and it was tight back there, but an adventure. So yeah, people put a hitch on anything with a V8 back in the day. Beautiful car. I can’t help but wonder if someone will go stock, or create a Bullitt clone.”

    “We currently have a 250 SWB in our care that was built in direct collaboration with the exceptional team at GTO Engineering. Prior to joining Mohr Imports, I had the privilege of running GTO Engineering’s Los Angeles operation for several years and visited both the GTO House and restoration facility on multiple occasions.
    I can’t say enough positive things about the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and passion that goes into these cars. Having had the opportunity to work alongside both…”

    “A Nova Wagon with dog dish wheels and a V8 paired to a 4 speed. It doesn’t get a better than that! GLWTA”

    “Such great trucks, went a decade with minimal styling updates. And the Vortec Chevy 454 is a LEGEND! And if it is really as clean as it appears, someone is going to get an awesome ride. Only thing it is missing from my ideal 3/4 Suburban build sheet would be barn doors in back, but the tailgate is what makes pregaming work too.”

    “The Gumball Rally Cobra S/N 3243 had been stored for years until around 2013. Sitting next to it was a 289 Comp.Car. Both came back into the sunlight.

    I have photos of CSX3243 in January of 2014 at the shop of an incredible Pebble Beach restoration mechanic and a dear friend.
    Chuck Bail really did it right using Daytona Spyder’s, A/C Cobra’s and recording sounds with Parabolic mikes. There will never be another. Sold my Spyder and…”

    “When folks look at my Ford GT, I tell ’em, the most amazing thing about this car is that little blue oval on the front………. It’s a Ford!!!”

    “I love these so very much, and that winter scene photo reminded me of a similar photo of a friend’s rally race car fairly well burried in the snow after sliding a little too wide in a corner.”

    “@jtzer I was the founder of Classic Promenade and sold the dealership to two young, smart and hard-working couples on June 30th. I completely inspected this Bentley and drove it extensively in June, even in the 100 plus F temperatures in Phoenix. (I’m a senior RROC and concours judge). It essentially drives as a new S1 Continental. I am now in Lucerne, Switzerland driving our R-Type Mulliner Lightweight Saloon for two months from Ireland to Tuscany and back. Cheers and best of luck to the…”

    “Awesome! Looking forward to it. Sadly, my wife passed away a couple of weeks ago from a long fight with breast cancer. I have two 1984 533i’s one is a parts car, the other is a work in progress, and I have spent so much time and money working on it that I simply don’t want the hassle any longer. I have always wanted the original M5, and my wife would be happy that I made that dream a reality. So looking forward to it!!”

    “The rarity of the M81 McLaren Mustang DSO kit cannot be overstated. Maybe 20 were made in addition to the 10 M81 McLaren Mustang prototypes. Of the DSOs on the road, I know of maybe 5. I own one which is currently on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Added note, the rear GT Enduro spoiler is even more rare.”

    “For those asking: it will be back close to home. I’m in the Virginia Beach area so about 2 hours from Richmond where the original owner/builder was.
    I joined JUST to bid on this car. It’s been my favorite build of all time since I saw it 10+ years ago. Once I saw it was for sale I knew I had to take a shot at it.
    So unbelievably happy that I won!”

    “In my opinion the textbook definition of a Mercedes-Benz modern classic. This 1991 model is hands down the nicest example I have seen in the last 30 years.
    If Bruno Sacco is considered in artist, the C126 is his “Sistine Chapel”.
    Best of luck !!!

    “Absolutely beautiful! It’s been a local car to me my whole life, even with the move. Unfortunately we’ve never crossed paths. Hopefully a new owner is found and enjoys it like Mr Waite did for 60 years!”
