“Hi this is Phyllis Yes. I bought the car back because I couldn’t sleep thinking
that the paint might be taken off. It will be donated to a museum for all to enjoy.”

“Toyota really built them well back in the day. Not only that, but they’re not too big, not too small and look good. New owner will be happy. GLWTA”

“I own the same car, even down to the 1592 twin cam and automatic transmission. It was built 6,028 cars later than this one, currently has 178,408 miles, and is our daily driver. I got it from the original owner’s family, and am technically the 4th caretaker. Since I also specialize in Fiats, I have serviced it mostly from new.
We take it on club tours, and it’s comfortable at an indicated 70+ mph. In 2024 we won worst in class at the concours d’lemons in Seaside California, and last year we…”

“Commenting as an owner of a ’72 GTV with V6 using many of the same swap components…
@benzog Looks to be a Larry JR. / Alfa Parts Exchange bellhousing. A very robust casting.
@Stockpat97 Assuming you’re asking about cam belt replacement, the belt & tensioner are easily accessed with the radiator removed.
@Alfaman Right, not easy maneuvering the V6 into place but I’ve done it solo 3 times during the build. Once its in access around the engine is really not bad at all.”

DonPaolo commented on 3.0L Busso V6–Powered 1973 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000

“Dean Batchelor and Phil Hill agreed that if one has only one Ferrari, make it a 330 GTC. It does everything so well. As said, not only does it NOT need power steering, leave off all options including AC and Borrani wire wheels on these cars. The AC in this era had an ugly compressor, was very heavy and not very effective. Borrani’s are certainly beautiful but along with the attaching hardware are much heavier than the race proven Campagnolo disc wheels with their P car style provenance.…”

“An iconic Mopar. One of the best designs of this period.”

JAY-Z commented on 1968 Dodge Charger R/T

“When my Family was on a vacation in Hawaii back in 1977 we had the Ford version of this wagon finished in an emerald green. It was a tank of a car but did drive nicely and got us around Oahu in comfort. My parents owned a 1973 Ford Thunderbird with the same 460ci V8. I see some of the same or similar interior parts on this wagon as well. Very nice condition Colony Park Wagon for its age!
GLWTA 👍”

WERA22 commented on No Reserve: 2022 Honda Odyssey Elite by Stay Tuned

“Great spot on the 2022 gearbox oil typo.
Our technicians during that time and during 2023 and 2021 records are all former trained factory Lamborghini guys. You can look them up!
As you can see both Motul and Lucas gear oil was used in 2021 and 2023, so I am very confident this is a “ShopWare” typo.
Our software system in the shop was very clunky until recently.
The former owner was very fussy, this is one of the best 1996-1997 Diablo Roadster examples we have seen. The car was…”

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

“WOW! I am speechless. what an incredible auction full of passionate enthusiasts. I’m humbled by it all, and so incredibly happy to see that people recognize the hard work and love I put into this car — and also the obvious appreciation of the goldilocks nature of the 987.2 2.9L.
thank you to everyone who commented and bid, and especially thanks and congratulations to @D4307. you’re getting a truly incredible car!
I’ll be in pain seeing it go, but as Epictetus said: never say of anything…”

“I have fond memories enjoying this car before selling it to J Seminetta years ago… It’s one of many I wish I never sold! It’s great to see it so well maintained
and cared for all these years. Killer Car! The new owner will love it.”

thelastdetailchicago commented on 1959 MG MGA Twin Cam Roadster 2.0L 5-Speed

“Gorgeous! I drove an ‘85 all through college in the ‘90s. Even through the Michigan winters. So many fun times in that car! I sold it with around 150,000 miles on it. Years later i ran into the woman that bought it. She had 220,000 miles on it. Fenders were falling apart with rust. But that in-line 6 still ran like a top!”

“It is hard to imagine now how many of these cars were basically abandoned when gas approached $1.00 a gallon in the late 70s. I bet many people wish they had their old hemi cars now.”

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

“I’ve always thought the ’69 Camaro is one of the most perfectly styled cars of the era, particularly as an RS Z/28. @BlackMountainMotorworks did the right thing by including a number of side profile photos. (Surprising how many sellers don’t!) The color on this one is fantastic, worthy of a poster.
Being an early Trans Am Series fan I was thrilled to get close to the Penske/Donahue #6 racer at an 80’s Walter Mitty. I have a packet of photos I keep aside so I can easily remind myself.…”

Valiantjim commented on 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Coupe 4-Speed

“I remember this model. It signaled to many that Hyundai was becoming a serious car company, at a time when some early Excels were still running around leaving clouds of blue oil smoke behind them. The Tiburon could have had Honda badges and nobody might have been the wiser.
Oh, one little “cheeky” thing, as the Brits like to say. Notice the faux intake runners on that plastic engine cover. (Photo #104.) At casual glance, it’s suggesting that the engine is in there longitudinally, perhaps even…”

“WOODIE TRIP — DIARY OUTTAKES | DAY FIFTEEN – FINAL DAY
Wednesday , September 6th
The trip from Alpine home was the hardest part. Hugh kept driving faster and faster, and we were so anxious to get there. The only notes I have read like this: “Can finally sit down on the toilet seat!! No more wake-up calls. No unpacking and packing car every day. We’re home!!!””
