    “This 6-series Packard has been a goal to own one – of my Dad and I – our whole lives and finally hope to obtain. This would be for me to enjoy for my retirement.”

    “I own a 1938 Flying Squirrel. The engine number is one digit away from this bike and the frame number is two digits away. When I contacted the Scott Club Registry to authenticate my bike I was advised that 220 Flying Squirrels were produced (500cc and 600cc versions combined) in 1938. The whereabouts of 101 were known. Of those, twenty had the redesigned detachable head as does this bike. GLWTS”

    “Formula for years, worked in secrecy with Mercury and designed the 500 Super Sport Crossover expressly for the new 600-hp Mercury Verado V12.
    It was the first boat fitted with these innovative V-12 motors that had a fixed powerhead and a rotating lower unit.
    I saw the original factory black hulled SSC at Soverel Harbor in Palm Beach Gardens when it first hit the water,
    Spent some time talking with the crew, admiring the boat and the serious Mercury motors the likes of which I’d never seen…”

    “I love this car – the color is one of my top choices – and that interior … so cool and unique – I have a ’74 GTS and as others here have said the driving experience is special – so low to the ground with the motor humming on your shoulder – hypnotic – GLWTA”

    “There are two of us in the USA (that we know of) that have Turkis Coupes, me being one of them. No matter where I drive, I get thumbs up and comments about what an amazing color this is and how well it compliments the smooth curvy lines of an E9. This example looks nearly perfect, and the seller is THE source of E9 expertise. You can buy this car with the utmost of confidence, and join Club Turkis! You won’t be disappointed! GLWTA!”

    “I remember growing up in the 90s and early 2000s watching this series on speedvision, cable channel 53 back then. Kinda brings back memories of the real time integra type r from back in that era as well. Great memories.”

    “I remember back in the mid to late 80s, collectors were buying big blocks C2’s, but stayed away from split windows, telling everybody nobody wants them, hard to see out of the back, blah, blah blah! Funny how times have changed.
    Beautiful Car, GLWTA!”

    “Alfredo’s Foreign Cars in Larchmont, NY never closed. I bought many Alfas from that dealership from the 1960’s on, the most recent my ’23 Stelvio. During the period when Alfa temporarily stopped selling in cars in the USA, Alfredo’s was the one of the few dealers that maintained its official Alfa Romeo dealer parts and service.”

    “Art on wheels – no wonder Enzo was so smitten….
    As a kid, RW 77 was frequently parked next to my mum’s Healey 3000 outside the Horse & Groom in Alresford, Hants and thiks early fascination with the E was firmly planted in this kid’s brain. Subsequent personal involvement with John Coombs’ lightweight E Types at Goodwood only served to deepen the lifelong fascination and appreciation of these automotive masterpieces. This is a stellar example and you cannot replace history….”

    “May be the best car Ford ever made. My son had one, and it was bullet proof, as well as comfortable. Nice and simple to, you can actually see the alternator, and belts. Sorry they don’t make them like this anymore. Just and Old Geezer remembering the Good Old Days.”

    “A great car with a great story! I’m often surprised how wing cars are optioned. For example, the C-21 Center front-seat cushion and folding armrest with column automatic, seen here. Deluxe wheel covers? I guess I assume it’s a class of car that would naturally be more loaded up.
    Of course their existence as the manufacturers were pushing the limits of NASCAR homologation rules ensures they are inherently fascinating. Producing them had nothing to do with marketing them for profit.…”

    “Beautiful Square body! I have had 4 over the last 4 decades and have an 85 GMC Sierra Classic 3500 that is a Fall Guy replica. These trucks are imo the best trucks ever made. Someone will be getting a beautiful example and it being the first year of production is even a nicer feature. GLWTA👌👌👌”

    “@64_S1 Not only can you drive this back home to the Midwest, you SHOULD! As one who has driven my S2 Elan coast to coast and border to border, I highly recommend it, with a couple of caveats. First, as you noted, install the side windows. Even with the top down it will keep the wind from beating you up. Then, when you put the top up, only if needed for major rain of course, you will stay relatively dry.
    Second, do not use interstate highways unless there is no reasonable alternative. As the…”
