“Buy it, drive it, join us a few times a year to stare at each others cars and meet great people. Cool community for a car that is surprisingly easy to drive. My first road trip was Tail of the Dragon in January ‘24 my 16 yr old at the wheel…memories forever”

“I would argue the GMT800 is one of the best platforms GM has ever made. You just can’t kill them.”

“This car was purchased from Ed Jurist By Ted Billings in 1966 after Ed had brought it back from South America. That Engine is supposed to be the backup to the Mormon Meteor and was shipped to Argentina so the car could be raced. That is a real blower looks exactly the same as it did in 1966 when Ted took possession of the car. Leo Gephart did not start making reproduction blowers until the 1970s. This is a a great car with real race history in South America. The 1960s photo of the…”

“H.U.04 took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to resurrect, but every bit of it was worth it the moment we saw it completely reassembled.
My team, along with @diverdave36 and so many incredible people throughout the vintage Indy community, spent well over 1,000 hours researching, completely disassembling, meticulously cleaning and cataloging every part, and carefully bringing this piece of history back together.
Every minute spent working on a project like this—or even just being in its…”14

“Nothing beats the simplicity of an old truck. No screens, no tech just three pedals and a steering wheel. GLWTA!”

“And now the end is near. I truly enjoyed this car and would love to see it go to a new owner and a loving home. I have had great memories of building the car and driving the car. I truly know that the next owner will be thrilled while driving the car next.”

“One of the things I really like about this is that, at its heart, it’s just so simple. Not like the Italian limited production barchetta cars where everything is unobtainable or very expensive. A T Series MG set up is the personification of of basic spark, fuel, air motoring. Like the upkeep on TD. That should bring it more into the range of folks who lust after the style but have been afraid of the reality of finding mechanical spares. Opportunity rarely knocks as loud as this one, IMHO!”

“Ok
So while we were setting up Rally 1
Mike Z who ran the Saleen shop floor set up a red door complete with gurney bubble on a small dolly door stand. For display and option for people coming to have your door converted.
Of course vin 1314 / signature car owner / Me wanted it that day to swap on my red car for the event!
The door was display only because it was a blemish / defect door and not complete , hence the parts missing on this door!
I think Bony had the first bubble after Gurney…”18

“This seems to be an outstanding example of one of these rare and truly extraordinary cars. I had my ’15 V12VS Coupe (Sportshift III) out today. People obviously differ regarding what they want from a car, but for me, it really doesn’t get much better than this among modern cars. In addition to all the things that make Aston Martins special, the V12 Vantage S is an absolutely fantastic thing to DRIVE. The engine — performance, smoothness and sound (not sure any car made in the last 40 years…”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“At the end of the film, The Conversation, Cindy Williams (Shirley of Laverne and Shirley) is seen getting into an MB 600 Pullman, which belonged to Francis Ford Coppola, who directed the movie. Coppola won the 600 on an earlier wager with Paramount. The studio wasn’t sure if “The Godfather” was going to be a hit, but he made them promise him that if it was, they’d buy him any car he wanted, as he was weary of schlepping around with his film crew in an old station wagon. So he said “I…”

“I can’t believe this is a 12 year-old wagon. This design has aged so well and I imagine it will continue to do so. Perfect sinister look to match the wicked motor underhood!”

“These cars did not have a rope rear main seal, although there was a short section under the rear of the sump. They had a threaded slinger at the rear that thru oil back into the engine as it ran. With time and bearing wear this became less effective. It can be adjusted to improve function and there is a lip type seal available from several sources that might improve things if installed correctly, although all this requires engine removal. These old cars can leak from several places and it is…”

“I just got back from a wonderful trip to Italy.
My faith in humanity was restored, never in my life had I seen so many cool wagons and hot hatches ripping up and down the Autostrade and country roads. Even really neat turbo diesel variants.
The Europeans get it.
Us Americans don’t…still not sure why every household Stateside needs a full size pick-up truck or massive SUV the size of my first college apartment.
I love this auction collection!
The Toyota Crowns are so fantastic, do not…”17

“What a neat rig with an incredible pedigree! And you won’t need to bring a trailer because it’s too precious. Just drive it home and enjoy it.
I don’t have a lot to add on top of what others have said about Harold Allen except to say that many years ago I came into a collection of his Stroppe-related photos from Ford Motor Company and I’m forever grateful for those.
I think this is the only Bronco I know of that was owned by one of Ford’s off road racing stars that has come to market in…”
