“As a young couple we had a 1964 122sw from Massachusetts was which perfect given my tip income as a student & bartender. We ran it until the 225,000 mile mark and sold it for more than we paid for it. This restoration corrects for all of my Volvos obsolescence or weaknesses; larger engine; better fuel delivery; rust remediation, nice interior and respectable paint job. This one is a keeper! Thanks for posting.”

“Love the exhaust note in the driving video. If you know e9 coupes you know that this one has all of the most desirable modifications performed by one the most respected e9 shops on the west coast. Bid with confidence, you’d be hard pressed to find a better driver’s 3.0cs than this one.”

“I had a brand new wagon, similar to this one, as a work vehicle for a few months once. I expected it to be a dog, but to my surprise it actually turned out to be a very nice highway cruiser.”

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

“Wish Ford still made trucks like this one. No cam phasers no direct injection no automatic fuel management system. Just a plain nothing fancy naturally aspirated engine. I sure I am not alone with my thoughts but GLWTA.”

“In the world of VW owners who loved their sporty cars in the 1980s there will always be Golf/GTI owners and Scirocco owners. I was very proudly the latter.
I am a 3x Scirocco loyalist and owned a 1977, a 1982, and lastly a 1988 16v. To me the Scirocco stood apart from the rest of the VW lineup and the styling was a huge draw to it. I made so many lifelong memories in those cars, most notably my 16v as I had it in college and even met my wife-to-be while I owned it.
I’m pretty sure I…”

“These Z71’s were tanks! Had a white 2003 (ironically bought it from original owner in Scarsdale as well!!). It was unfortunately totaled when my wife got into a bad accident with it the day after Xmas 2020. Rolled 3 times, but that roof rack saved her as it remained fairly intact.”

“Mechanically actuated drum brakes; Always brings to mind Jay Leno quoting Henry Ford, “The safety of steel from pedal to wheel”.”

HDShark56 commented on 1929 Isotta Fraschini 8A SS Roadster Cabriolet by Castagna

“Wow! If your drove this in 1966 you were a very successful owner-operator with great taste! That’s an extra long WB too meant for specialized loads. I watched the videos to see any sign of power steering so only Armstrong steering? My family was in the trucking business (in many aspects) and worked at a Kenworth store in NJ in the clean up bay. Much like old vs modern pickup trucks, they had evolved from bare bones working vehicles to modern, comfortable places to be. GLWTA #keepontruckin”

“Never mind the Firestones, this is very reminiscent of the B.F. Goodrich TireBird. Awesome build!
It’s been a great weekend for second-generation Firebirds. Keep them coming.

“I bought one of these and tuned the ECU to go 50 mph. Madness Autoworks sells the upgrade.”

Abarth67 commented on 2026 Fiat Topolino Dolce Vita

“Side markers are correct for USA spec cars. Euro spec cars have the “bullet” side markers.
Marrone Colorado is one of the best colors on these cars. Just outstanding, as is this example.
Having owned two of these cars, I can say that they are wonderful to drive in every respect. With proper servicing, they are as reliable as a Honda. They are not easy to work on and quite expensive for repairs and service.
Expect $10K on a major service and $2K for tires. My current car, 14633, sits for a…”

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

“Peter Egan would often go out to his garage with a cup of coffee and admire the view of one of the many cars that passed through his doors, including a Lotus Elan. He would write wonderful articles describing the beautiful flowing lines and unique characteristics of the particular vehicle he was enjoying. I really enjoyed his writings and still re-read his “Side Glances” articles.
This is my view in my garage this morning. It could be your view in your garage next week if you are the high…”

Lotuszog commented on 1964 Lotus Elan S1

“What a beautiful Lancia. It’s easy to appreciate it’s good looks. But when you look at it in the context of 1957 and see what the competitors were offering, while all very attractive cars, they were either heavier, underpowered or based on prewar underpinnings. These Lancias were a revelation in the mid 1950s. Unibody construction, first aluminum V6, rear mounted transaxle, independent suspension etc. Tech that wasn’t seen as common until the 1970s. This Aurelia is truly a remarkable piece of…”

“Soon after we purchased our first house in 1998, I bought a 1985 Buick Electra Estate wagon. My brother was renovating our main floor for us, which involved several sheetrock runs to Home Despot. That wagon could transport 4×8 sheets with the tailgate closed, and 4×10 sheets with the tailgate flipped down. Still one of the best vehicles I have ever owned.”
