“In the 1980s you could recognize these headlights at night in your rearview mirror, next you’d start hallucinating as your mind waited for the light bar to ruin your evening. Other symptoms included cold sweats, shortness of breath and upset stomach. Whew”

“I painted this Truck when I worked at GM Linden NJ plant. These were added as a last minute model to our regular S10 line up. The GM plant in Brazil was making these for years. We borrowed some tooling mods and were able to produce these for the US market.”

“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.…”

Raffi commented on 427 SOHC “Cammer”-Powered 1959 Ford Thunderbird Coupe 3-Speed

“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…”

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

“@JMKClassic BRAVO! Thanks for sharing and reminding me how awesome these cars really are. My first car I took delivery Dec 10th 2004 after watching the Ford commercial “THE ONE” over and over and had to have it. My first drive was to take a friend, who said I couldn’t scare her, a drive through Memorial Park that leads to the highway. As I got on the entrance ramp to the 610 Loop, I took it to 60 in 1st gear and when I hit second, at 60, the tires LIT UP!! I was amazed and hit 3rd at about 110.…”

MACUSA commented on 990-Mile 2005 Ford GT

“I started with Cadillac in 1957 and after working on and around the 57,58 and 59 models I thought, at the time, this was the most beautiful Cadillac we had EVER built. I still fell that way today. Lucky me that I had the opportunity work on and around them. Beautiful fit and finish and they ran so well. I helped out a few times in the Cadillac Executive Garage where these cars were prepared and stored for the factory retail deliveries. The new owners were treated royally including a personal…”

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

“Wow !! Brings back wonderful memories as I learned how to drive on my Dad’s ‘60 Bonneville convertible ..He was a “car guy”having several Chrysler letter cars before I talked him into the Bonneville. Our neighbor had a ‘59 Bonneville convertible and he took me for a ride on a warm summer night with the top down …When he hit the gas and I heard that VROOOM of the carbs opening I was smitten !!
He told my Dad to make sure he ordered the Tri/Power option to match the power of his…”

Noisyboyz commented on 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible

“Many years ago i used to take quite a few road trips and generally would find any excuse i could make up just to do so . There was always a destination , but the journey was the reason , just a love of being on the open road and feeling young and unencumbered . I always used to have my “Road Trip” tape which i had previously recorded and was quite long and had a wide variety of music to listen to on the road but the same song , first up on the tape , “Vehicle” by The Ides of March always…”

“The 996T manual has become a gold mine, and it’s super fun to drive. What more could one want in a 911 Turbo, the quintessential sports car of the modern era? Enjoy ownership in safety and good health.”

“Thank you all for the love and nice comments for this beautiful NSX-T. Hard to see it go but excited to see it start its next chapter with @Matchbox1095. I hope you’ll enjoy owning and experiencing this car as much as I have! Congrats!”

“The CKD cars assembled in Belgium were for tax purposes. The cars were shipped “body in white” with the drivetrain out of the car and no interior trim installed. Final assembly and paint were done in Belgium and avoided import taxes somewhere around 30%.
While no production records from Belgium have survived, the TR Registry has obtained shipping manifests that lists vin numbers and engine serial numbers along with the dates they went. As the cars were shipped to Belgium in small…”

“If I could only own one vehicle for the rest of my life, and could never switch it… this is what I would get.
-Stupid reliable.
-Powerful enough to explore in the mountains and pull a boat to the lake.
-Always classy. Always adventurous.
-Good for one person, and good for a family.
-Safe.
-Enough tech to be convenient, but not too much to get in the way.”

overlandish commented on 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser URJ200 Heritage Edition

“This is a stunning car with amazing history! The fact that Jim Froula of Racecraft has done the recent work on it makes me feel very good. I race my Datsun 510 in the historic B Sedan class against many of the cars supported by Jim at vintage events. The cars under his tent are always extremely well prepared, highly competitive, and generally with great history. I’m in. Let’s see where this baby ends up. Would love to keep it in the West Coast but I suspect the European bidders know quite…”
