“1988 I’d be taking this home. Mine was blue and white. Like the man said earlier. It would make novice look good. 66 years old still a novice lol. Roll on wheelies, check. Slam second you better be hanging on and sitting foward. The only race I ever lost was to a Ferrari. Smoked him off the line. 120 I looked in the mirror. Too late, just then he blew by me like I was standing still. At 150 came around the next bend. He was just a red speck. Going around the next turn. Ah to be young. Slowly…”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“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.”

CHARLENEBILLIE commented on SEMA-Exhibited Hotchkis “E-Max” 1970 Dodge Challenger 340 Six Pack 5-Speed

“If I could only own one vehicle for the rest of my life, and could never switch it… this is what I would get.
-Stupid reliable.
-Powerful enough to explore in the mountains and pull a boat to the lake.
-Always classy. Always adventurous.
-Good for one person, and good for a family.
-Safe.
-Enough tech to be convenient, but not too much to get in the way.”

overlandish commented on 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser URJ200 Heritage Edition

“This is a stunning car with amazing history! The fact that Jim Froula of Racecraft has done the recent work on it makes me feel very good. I race my Datsun 510 in the historic B Sedan class against many of the cars supported by Jim at vintage events. The cars under his tent are always extremely well prepared, highly competitive, and generally with great history. I’m in. Let’s see where this baby ends up. Would love to keep it in the West Coast but I suspect the European bidders know quite…”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“@sy1616 ………The 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300 Sc Einspritzmotor Coupe was special and important for its combination of cutting-edge technology, superior luxury, and extreme rarity, which cemented Mercedes-Benz’s return to the top echelon of global luxury automakers after World War II.
Mechanical innovation:
The “Einspritzmotor” (German for “injection engine”) designation on the car’s rear bumper signified its most important technical feature.
Mechanical fuel injection: The 300 Sc borrowed…”

“A United Airlines pilot that lived across the street from us when I was a teenager had a 12 cylinder E-Type coupe he bought new. Easy to look at and great sounds. But THIS car has all the modern goodies with no Lucas Electrics gremlins and all the modern upgrades plus a spotless and powerful Ed Pink motor. This would be the Jag I would own. Exceptional build and beautiful car. GLWTA !”

“BTW Dinos are a total blast to drive! RHD or LHD, no matter, they are among the most fun to motor around in and one of the most beautiful designs of all time.”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“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!”

HSKinc commented on No Reserve: 323k-Mile, Original-Owner 2004 Honda S2000

“This car was purchased from Ed Jurist By Ted Billings in 1966 after Ed had brought it back from South America. That Engine is supposed to be the backup to the Mormon Meteor and was shipped to Argentina so the car could be raced. That is a real blower looks exactly the same as it did in 1966 when Ted took possession of the car. Leo Gephart did not start making reproduction blowers until the 1970s. This is a a great car with real race history in South America. The 1960s photo of the…”

“H.U.04 took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to resurrect, but every bit of it was worth it the moment we saw it completely reassembled.
My team, along with @diverdave36 and so many incredible people throughout the vintage Indy community, spent well over 1,000 hours researching, completely disassembling, meticulously cleaning and cataloging every part, and carefully bringing this piece of history back together.
Every minute spent working on a project like this—or even just being in its…”
