    “@ctalisman
    Thank you bud. You have no idea what this car means to me. Money aside I always wanted one when I was a kid and a friend of mine had one once and would always wear blue socks because of the car. Just wonderful memories with this platform in my head.”

    “That’s me with the seller. I believe we were snowboarding at Mt Hood that day. What a beast of a vehicle! It hauled many people to Mt. for a number of years. Great memories!”

    “I owned a J-car with V6, they were better and more reliable than they get credit for. Chevrolet did a great job styling the Z24, love the cowl-induction hood. Those tint headlight covers are pure 80s nostalgia, I sold hundreds of them back in the day.”

    “Thks auction has brought back some memories for me. Back in the mid/late fifties my parents had a 1952 Buick Roadmaster woody wagon, maroon with maroon leather interior. It was may fathers favorite car out of many Buicks he had owned. On many warm Sunday afternoons my parents would load me and my brother in the Buick along with a pick nick basket, and sometimes a cocker spaniel, and we’d go for drive. Often the drive took us to a place here in the hills of north central Pennsylvania know as…”

    “One of the coolest daily drivers of all time. A wagon with a supercharged v8. The six-speed manual is the cherry on top. GLWTA!”

    “I was a teenager HS student working at the corner service station. We had a local Dr that had one of these, his was the beautiful dark blue with matching padded top. He would pull in for gas, 27 gallon tank. After putting the car in “Park” he would tilt the wheel which would almost go horizontal on these and throw a small towel that covered the wheel from rim edge to edge. Gas up. Then………the fun would begin! Around to the car wash. Customers would be directed into the wash at the correct…”

    “Hopefully the new owner can get in touch with Bobby and get a picture alongside the car, It would be worth the drive or plane ticket! This is a once in a lifetime auction.”

    “Nobody paid much attention when the old Dodge arrived.
    A 1970 Dodge Polara Police Pursuit sedan painted in authentic black and white with a 440 Magnum under the hood wasn’t exactly subtle. Long, square-jawed, and purposeful, it looked ready to issue citations despite having been retired for decades. Still, at Fort Stockton’s annual Classic Car Roundup, it found itself parked between a candy-apple red Corvette and a turquoise Thunderbird convertible. Compared to chrome and tailfins, an old…”

    “Funny story – I was trying to find a correct new radiator cap for the TR4. I had gotten one from a British parts supplier, but it didn’t fit correctly. I grabbed my identical radiator from my project TR4 and went to the local parts stores to see what they had. Total strikeout. I went to Panda Express with TR4 radiator caps on my mind and got this fortune cookie. I immediately sent a picture of it to my wife saying “Looks like I’m getting another car!”.”

    “Anyone buying an RX7 that’s been sitting for a long time should assume it needs apex seals unless proven otherwise. The dash and radio are lit up in some pics, so the car has electrical power. I’m guessing lack of power is the result of a few horses escaping the engine bay.
    This FD is quite tempting. I have a few solutions for lack of power sitting in the corner of the shop ;)”

    Gmmuscleusa commented on 1993 Mazda RX-7 5-Speed Project

    “I own a higher mileage AZ-1 just like this. It is awesome. Obviously the new owner will likely keep this stock, but upgrading the suspension to the Navic coilovers and adding a stiffer roll bar front and back dramatically changed the handling. It went from leaning SUV in the corners to go-kart. Just my 2 cents.”

    “Nobody in Fort Stockton ever knew exactly where Harold and Eleanor Whitcomb were headed when they left, and after a while they stopped asking. It had become as dependable as church bells and the Dairy Twin closing at nine. Every Sunday, sometime after lunch, the old Mercury wagon would ease out of their driveway with a picnic basket tucked behind the front seat and Harold’s weathered county highway map folded neatly beside him. They never seemed to have a destination. Yet when they returned,…”

    “Great road test; beautiful sound bathing the cabin as you work the gears…no weird clunks, just straight-up British Sports Car excellence. GLWA! Given the bids already, I won’t be seeing this in my Virginia garage any time soon, alas.”

    BahnBnr commented on One-Owner 1967 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Coupe 4-Speed

    “I drove a 2012 manual Fit for three years before I lost it in a flood trying to cross an underpass. They float extremely well by the way.
    It was SO much fun to drive. It fit two bikes in the back with the seats up. Storage was best. I’ve not had a similar size car since that was as enjoyable. The Fiesta ST is a close second but the FIT had better (less) torque steer when burning the tires in the wet. It would get rubber past 2nd gear on moist roads.
    Indestructible….unless you drive it…”

    “An Alfa like this, in this original condition, is simply priceless. I don’t know who coined the expression “you can’t go home again,” but this car proves them wrong. This car is more than a time capsule, it is a time machine. Drive it and you will be transported back to Italy during an automotive golden age. A 100 point Pebble Beach example couldn’t give you any more pleasure than enjoying this in today’s real world. GLWTA.”

    “Great read. Glad Denise McLuggage got a shout out. One of the great auto scribes who dosen’t get the recognition she deserves. Also wrote one of the best ski instruction books “The Centered Skier”.”
