DVmechanics commented on 1968 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300Ti “El Taxi Perdido”

“This car is fast and we raced against it in LCP in my Datsun 510 with many great memories of running in the top 10 together against the big V8 cars. It will go over 130 as I one time switched the Garmin page to history when he wasn’t looking and it said 132 mph…my 510 was good for 121 WFO”

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

“in 1979 I was working at the old Hughes Aircraft facility in Culver City – right on the ocean where the Spruce Goose was built. We were building the F18 radar there and one of the most experienced radar engineers was Lee Spalding, USC trained, grew up in Gardena and lived in PalosVerdes, He had one of these. It was his daily driver and it had a great deal of miles on it – all original. During the winter he was having trouble with it running – he did all of the work – and we discussed the…”

“This car was in our family from 1987-2001, I restored it for my Dad while going to college, went 10.60’s with a 440 when we had it. Neat to see it again.”

Discoquik commented on 1962 Plymouth Savoy 2-Door Sedan Super Stock Max Wedge 3-Speed

“I used to own this car in the late 80’s early 90’s. the first owner Dave McKenna told me that Chrysler engineers told him that Chrysler used the thinnest gauge metal to stamp out the entire bodies of the Maxwedge cars making them about 400LBS lighter than the production model Savoys. We wighed this car at the race track and it weighed 3250Lbs a little more than our 70 340 Duster. Most people were unaware of this slight of hand. Chevy, Ford and Pontiac weighed 3800-4100Lbs in 62 giving the…”

“If you haven’t ever heard an F355 with a Tubi exhaust in a nice decently long tunnel run, you should. The 355’s have a Flat plane crankshaft, and with a Tubi Exhaust has a Formula 1 sound… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jchd1Sj6PsM If you are in a hurry, you can start at 30 seconds. If the link does not work you can go to Youtube and search for “Ferrari F355 tunnel run” (by Fast Terrific) Not many cars can give you goosebumps when you hear them, this one does.”

trueford commented on No Reserve: 41k-Mile 1995 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta 6-Speed

“Fun reading the comments here. I’ve owned many 99s over the years. My first car was a Topaz Yellow ‘76 GL 4 door with 90k miles that I bought in 1980 from my local Saab dealership, Reinertsen Motors. It was $3000, but I traded in my 1 year old Motobecane moped, so net cash was $2400 (plus tax). I later traded that 99 at Reinertsen Motors for a ‘74 Carolina Blue 99 LE like this one because I preferred the utility of the hatchback and it looked more up to date at the time as the 900 was…”

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

“The missile appeared at Earl’s Salvage Yard & Formalwear on a Tuesday morning.
At least that was what Hairless B29 called it when he walked into the Grounds for Divorce and announced that Earl had acquired a rocket.
Angus Hopper continued buttering his toast.
“How big?”
“Three feet, maybe.”
Angus looked up. “That ain’t much of a rocket.”
“It’s streamlined.”
This was apparently sufficient evidence to bring Rex Hall into the investigation. By nine…”

Envypete commented on 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe G50

“The Story Here…
As an automotive magazine publisher, editor and motor journalist in the ’80s and ’90s, I was privileged to attend many unique and amazing press functions and receive highly-specialized literature regarding the cars being launched. From the Highlands of Scotland to the South of France. From the US Continental Divide to the jungles and rain forests of Guatemala and Belize. From small back mews of the English Midlands to palatial manor houses in London. What a time it…”

enricojillforlenza commented on 1980 Porsche 911SC Coupe

“I’ve seen these cars in person when they were new at Straman’s over next to the Orange County Airport. The workmanship is superb. No one believes me when I say that there was a convertible CRX.
More importantly than that, no one believes there was EVER a teddy bear wheel made for any car – and I’ve told stories about them on a Volkswagen Cabriolet I once had. I have only ever seen ONE at a tire dealer. Never a complete set.
This car embodies every story I’ve ever told about cars made of…”
