    “Hello Fellow Pantera Fans!
    Welcome to the auction for my buddy Jim’s killer ’72 Pantera, chassis #4013. Jim had been looking for a Pantera for a long time, and with my history of owning and restoring many over the years, I was helping in that search. So when this one came up we reviewed it and agreed it was the one he should buy.
    Of course, Jim is a perfectionist and loves to drive (usually quite fast!) so 4013, already and incredibly well sorted car, went through a very thorough…”

    “Great project – I would finish it as a road racer, preferably with a legal registration.
    I remember Dave Sturdevant from when I was involved with race cars, but it was a casual nod in the pits type of thing.
    This reminds me of a similar build that someone brought to the SCCA Runoffs at Road Atlanta in the late 80s. It ran in GT 4 or 5 and had a super complex suspension worked out in it. The party trick that they would do in the pits was to set it up off the ground on only three jack…”

    “This car brings back mixed memories, let me explain. I had heard about the new Dodge Daytona coming out so I went to the Dodge dealer to check them out. They had two on the lot, a blue non turbo version and a beautiful black turbo Z. I drove both and fell in love with the turbo Z. Of course I did! I was 19 years old and the car was pretty quick. The salesman told me that I didn’t qualify for the turbo financially, but he could do the non turbo. I had no interest. I told him if I couldn’t…”

    “Merci beaucoup. The car will indeed be driven across Paris, France’s fantastic b-roads and through mountain passes in Europe, both as a cool family car and also for vintage car rallies & events that I love to go to or organise.”

    “When I first saw this auction I wanted to Jump! I expected there to be an Eruption of bids due to provenance. Driving at 10/10th would be like Runin’ With the Devil for sure. This car is the stuff Dreams are made of. If I won, I would definitely Dance The Night Away. OK I am done…”

    “I grew up in a family of chevy owners, just chevy’s, and I had my big block in high school. Then the new girl friend asks me over to meet her family and what does the Dad have, an Opel Manta in orange. He takes me out to inspect it and at some point hands me the key and says, have fun. Well, I did and from that point forward my world changed. Tried to talk my dad into letting me buy an MGB, that didn’t work until I bought my own in college and started auto X’ing with it. Then road racing…”

    “One of the iconic Roundel cars that made us fall in love over and over with the marque.
    40-years later the love affair is still as strong as ever.
    I like this Euro E24 a lot! The miles do not bother me as the M30 is BMW’s small block Chevy motor. Plus, the car has been loved and maintained.
    So much to admire on this car from the manual Sport seats to the polished BBS to that polarizing color.
    At no reserve means it’s going to find a new home and a lucky new owner.”

    “There are a total of 9 known carbon fiber bodied CSX Cobras out of the 10 planned (the registry incorrectly lists 7) and CSX4000R is incorrectly entered without mention of the carbon body. I am a lucky to own one of those 9 carbon Cobras.
    IMHO, the carbon CSX cars were always the ultimate Cobra. Carroll came up with the idea of a carbon Cobra after using composite bodywork on the Series 1 car in the late 90s. He was actually involved in the process and all the carbon cars were built while he…”

    “AMX’s and Javelins are the most underrated Muscle cars. Never understood that. They are so awesome! Too bad AMC always struggled with the big 3. Imagine if there was a AMX made today. GLWTA. Beautiful car! Great color combo and always loved the Rear spoiler option.”

    “@PDXBryan this one blows my SOHCs off.
    I’ve only once seen a cammer swap as nice as this and it was supposedly done by KK as an experimental along with one they build as a mid-engine Boss 9 (both fastback Mustangs).
    What’s so clever about this is you’d never expect it. The level of street sleeper, slack jaw, dumbdoundery here is off the charts. Roll up in this anywhere and get affirming nods, then open the hood and prepare for the cult of engine worship to begin their drooling genuflections.…”

    “340 vs 383 the 340 wins. Not only in a straight line but especially on a winding road. The small block with the well designed chassis corners like a sports car. To be fair, these days the restrictive 383 exhaust can be relieved with contemporary under-chassis headers and the big block can be as light as a small block with aluminum heads, intake and water pump housing. Throw in a stroker crank for 500ci and it will get interesting.
    But for stock vintage examples I think it’s no contest. If…”

    “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.…”

    “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!!!””
