“Crank windows, crank sunroof, 100 hp, period correct BBS wheels and Recaro seats, original color. Super cool.”

SFMor911 commented on No Reserve: 1983 BMW 320i 5-Speed

“I’m a Datsun fan (B210 and my BaT 510) and have never seen one of these ever except in my trusty 1977 Datsun model line sales brochure. The rarity of this F-10 WAGON is indescribable.”

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

“It wasn’t every day something this cute rolled into Fort Stockton. Folks were used to pickup trucks big enough to block out the sun, not pastel-colored cars that looked like they’d been dipped in lemon pudding and whipped cream. But there it was—parked right out front of Grounds for Divorce, turning heads like a visiting movie star.
A 1956 Nash Metropolitan. Yellow over white. Chrome trim shining like a smile that’s been to the dentist.
Lucinda leaned against the café window,…”

“I remember that turbo kit from HO Racing Specialties out of California. I bought my 78 TA new (still have it) and once the 1 year warranty was up, i installed the HO performance kit with new jets and metering rods for the Q-Jet.”

“Thanks @sludgo @Dazed_and_Amused @PDXBryan and @AJL1988 for your kind comments. I had a great time with Alex doing this podcast. Get me started talking about cars and I’ll go on for a while…just ask my wife and daughters!!
Thanks to @BaT for hosting our conversation and sharing it with the community.”

“Wow! I feel like I need a cigarette and I don’t even smoke!”

The_Dude_Abides commented on One-Owner, 23k-Mile 1999 Acura NSX Zanardi Edition #22

“The Torqueflite/rear axle upgrade is brilliant. Bet this dream mobile has easy cruise speeds now, with better economy and crisp shifts to match. Colors, options, upgrades – doesn’t get any better – GLWTA as if that wish is even necessary!”

Innkeeper commented on No Reserve: 21-Years-Owned 1947 Chrysler Town & Country Convertible

“This is my previous car. Oh how I loved this car. Way too much fun. So hard to find one in this condition. Love the Recaro seats you added! I’ve owned 6 CRXs – some were DX models and some were Si models. As a tall guy I loved the DX models without the sunroof for the extra headroom! Seller is a stand up guy – GLWTA!!!”

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

“Jan 1970: We shuttled 20 new imported cars from the dealership in Farmington CT to display at the car show in the Hartford Armory, and all the keys just got tossed in a basket.
During the show, I pocketed two sets… a silver Mangusta and a white Miura.
Sunday night we ferried the cars back, and I had dibs on the coolest ones! I drove both “the long way”, up and over Avon mountain on backroads I knew well… leaving lifelong impressions on 20-year-old me. Each was unique, challenging, and…”

“You know how National Geographic will publish pictures of some crazy animal they found umpteen million feet under the sea that is amazingly cool and unlike anything you could have imagined? This Tatra is kind of like that… only better.”

17

RJett commented on No Reserve: 1967 Tatra 2-603

“As a longtime rally/driving tour enthusiast, I salivate thinking how perfect this 911 would be for some of the adventures I go on. A typical rally year for me is over 35k miles and the key is something that is a reliable workhorse, comfy on long transit miles (ie interstate travel), fun on the backroads (an absolute must), and starts every time with no hesitation.
This G50 Carrera would be PERFECT for that. Is it the ideal aesthetics that you would want? Impossible as each person has…”

AutoKennel commented on Modified 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe G50

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

“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.…”

Valiantjim commented on 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona

“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👌👌👌”

DBG1973 commented on 1973 Chevrolet K20 4×4

“@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…”

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

“OK let’s get serious here.
What a lot of us often don’t realize when we look at something like this is the enormous amount of time, engineering, design, and late night haunting representing thousands of hours by dedicated people to develop and refined a complete and functional performance car.
You are not just buying the parts to make cars, you’re buying an entire history of what it took to build the cars.
So…if you are contemplating building your own cars, this is an excellent way to…”

Raffi commented on No Reserve: Shelby Rolling Chassis w/Series 1 Body Panels, Six Spare Chassis, & Parts Collection

“I own both a Ghibli and a Daytona and although I really like the Daytona the Ghibli is my go to car for long drives or if I anticipate stop and go traffic. Both cars have beautiful lines. The Ghibli is more reliable and more user friendly. The steering wheel can be adjusted up/down and the seat back is adjustable. No such luck on the Daytona. This car has power steering while the Daytona feels like a truck at slow speed.
The Maserati V8 has tons of low end torque while the V12 Ferrari needs…”

“Awesome, I am so happy! This will live with several Ford Shelbys in the garage one of which being a ’65 GT350, so I am absolutely going to re-enact that magazine cover!!!! I’ll be driving it home to Pittsburgh and it will hardly be a trailer queen, but will be well taken care of.”
