“Hi:
I’m Bob Gunthorp. I have a 1959 190b Binz station wagon Binz body number 1540. It is registered as a 1963. I purchased it in 1984. They are a fun car to drive and they attract attention everywhere that you take them. In 2012 I showed the wagon at the Mercedes-Benz Club National StarFest event in Phoenix AZ. The wagon is a “driver” car and not 100 point restoration. To both my surprise and amazement the wagon received the judge’s choice award.
Bob G.”

“I had one of these ‘beasts’ back in the 1970s, nowhere as nice as this Mercedes. I terrorized northern Virginia & the D.C. area for several years…..it sounded like a washing-machine full of marbles & smoked like I was spraying for locusts! But that Benz ran for ever, even on kerosene!
I wound up trading it for a Nikon motor-drive camera. My Mercedes wound up as ‘yard-art’ in Annapolis, Maryland…..but that diesel engine ran for years operating hoist equipment on a ‘waterman’s’…”

“Stunning car! The 5 speed transaxle fitted to Boras was also used in other cars- the deTomaso Mangusta and Pantera, Ford GT40s, BMW M1s.. perhaps others I’m not aware of. A robust unit of considerable versatility, it is still in production in the USA by RBT Inc. The ZF 5DS-25 (its actual name) has been through several revisions, including adding a sixth speed, I think. Its only vice is that it’s hard to obtain and when you can, it costs STACKS of money.”

“A story to make your day.
In 1983 reading an Automotive News, an ad taken out had a Lamborghini Countach for sale in Middle East, 35K US.
Hard to complete the purchase, Mersk shipping, import, bonds, DOT, EPA etc. While this was going,
This dignitary sent pictures of dozens of other Ferrari’s, Lamborghini’s, Rolls Royce’s etc. sitting in sand cover lots. Even a P-51 sitting in a park. Seems almost like when cars ran out of gas they were just parked!
There were two Miura’s, one red…”

“Thank you for the positive comments and questions.
This Citroen has always been owned by enthusiasts. It was sold new in France and the second owner moved it to the Netherlands ( a Mecca for Citroens)in 2000. He drove it to the 50th and 60th Citroen jubilees in Paris. Somewhere I’ve got a picture of it driving by the Arc de Triomphe. I’ve got a 2” thick folder of service receipts from the previous owner. He passed from covid and I bought it and imported to the states in the fall of…”

“Did you know that the US Spec engine has a 9.5:1 compression ratio and the Euro spec has 10.3:1 ? Let me tell you, you can feel the difference. Also, did you know that the ’84, with it’s hold over “SC interior” is the lightest of the ’84 to ’89 Carreras? That makes this the lightest, with it’s slicktop, and most powerful Carrera in the ’84 to ’89 range.”

“Back in 1971 I was a 19 year old with a dream job of driving cars for the California Auto Auction. On one of my runs heading north on 101 from Burlingame to San Francisco, I was listening to the giants pregame, literally MINUTES before the first pitch. Traffic was fairly heavy approaching candlestick park when I noticed in my rear view mirror a bright pink Chrysler Imperial absolutely SCREAMING through traffic, changing lanes like an Indy car driver. As it flew past me and headed towards the…”

“This Bronco will be well loved and cherished here. Been a dream of mine to have a Stroppe Baja for many years. Bought a Stroppe tribute here years ago, still have it, still love it, getting a new motor as we speak. But man I always wanted one of the real ones, so cool!”

“100-4’s are amazing cars. One of the most beautify production Sports Cars every produced; especially with the windshield in the down position. On top of the Aesthetics, its an amazing car to drive on a winding country road; the sound, the wind whistling by your ears, and the the overall fun is exciting.
This car may not win a gold level medal at any concours shows but it will win the gold when it comes to having fun and attracting attention on the road or a local classic car show.
Best…”

“I love seeing this. A Porsche driven just like it was built to do.
My wife and I drove our 1982 181k miles. Sold it in 2015 with 195k miles. Original owner only drove it 14k miles in his4 year ownership. He missed out.
I miss that car! Oh, side note! One day when I took her in for service there was one just like ours on the rack. She had 425k miles on it. Made me jealous.”

Magic8 commented on 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

“TA rear spoilers rarely fit well, especially original cars, and even more so 79-81 cars with their urethane corner pieces. The later corner pieces also tend to appear as slightly different colors, and tend to fade to the point where the urethane is visible.
This car shows exceptionally well. I personally wouldn’t touch a thing in terms of overall appearance. This is certainly a rare offering amongst later TAs!”

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

“My dad had one of these back in the day. The drivetrain was something else. We owned it to about 250k miles before selling it on the original clutch, transmission, turbo, head gasket, diffs, etc. It’d been chip tuned the whole time to almost 300hp for most of that.
Not that it was cheap or easy to keep the rest of the car in shape around that drivetrain….but still, this was Audi at its best.”
