“@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 !”

“The original owner of this Maserati was Stan Nowak, more famous as one of the earliest of the Ferrari historians here in the States. He told me decades ago he took delivery in West Nyak but sold it just a few months later to raise money for an early Ferrari that had recently been uncovered.
He told me to keep an eye out for it and said it would be easy to find by the chassis number “502.”
He passed away not long thereafter and I never did track it down until about ten years ago when I…”

“Literally the perfect Jeep to ‘bomb’ around in. The detail-overload here is fabulous!
To paraphrase Forrest Gump, Life is like Bring A Trailer. You never know what you’re gonna find.
WOW.”

“I was in charge of the 427 crate engine program western region for GM parts this is absolutely perfect!!

If anybody…”

“In my opinion, the original, first series “sports saloon” Jaguars are the purest and best. These are the ones you will see at Goodwood! I love the center instrument cluster, like the XK cars. I also think the smaller windows and extra wood interior appointments work extremely well with these cars. OK, the far more commonly surviving MK 2 cars are just fine in their own right, but just like in the consideration of the E type evolving variations, I remain firmly in the first original series…”

“This was my Dad’s car. I learned to drive a stick in this car and took my drivers test for my license. He and I worked on it together and we would race through the mountains. When he was over seas, my mom and I had to drive it weekly to keep it running. both of my parents are in heaven. My mom is looking down at me, saying what in the hell are you thinking? My dad is looking down at me and saying hell yeah!”

“It’s bittersweet to see this car listed here with @craterface. I was the co-driver for the Modena Centro Ore event in this car and it was just a champion. In addition to buying a tested and regularly driven car, you are buying a top-tier seller. I’ve had the pleasure of over a decade of friendship with the seller and his is a dedicated, knowledgeable, and passionate steward of his cars. He is especially fond of Alfas and I suspect there is another Alfa coming to replace this one. Bid with…”

“Leading off the BaT Best Flybys of the Week is #XS003. The Kenny Brown suspension and chassis mods really hook this car up. Trust me when I tell you that this Outlaw is capable of so much more.

“It started with Rusty claiming he’d seen a tailfin where no tailfin had any business being.
“Back behind the Piggly Wiggly,” he said at the Rusty Hammer, red beard twitching like it had picked up a signal. “Down that alley nobody uses except teenagers and stray cats. There’s chrome back there.”
Chrome is sacred in Fort Stockton. You either polish it or you inherit it.
By mid-afternoon, half the town had found an excuse to wander behind the Piggly Wiggly. From the patio at…”

“I’ve owned my S1 since 1979, worked as a mechanic at a Lotus dealer 1972 – 1974. When I drive and park my Elan in Elkhart Lake, it draws a crowd. Driving the back roads around Elkhart along with the old race track is such a pleasure, little to no traffic, no semi’s. Life is good with a Lotus Elan.”

“I really didn’t want to get emotional about this sale, just easier to handle letting her go in a detached transparent and informative manner. Truth be told, this 1964 Beetle is the last in a long line of Volkswagens I have owned over the decades. My love for Beetles has its origin in a 1961 Beetle my father drove from Newark, NJ to Eugene OR that year after serving two years duty in Germany. A buddy of my dad’s bought the latest 1961 Beetle but couldn’t drive it off the dock as he didn’t…”
