Understanding yesterday’s comments of note

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.…”

“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👌👌👌”

“@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…”

“In 1960 as senior in high school I was a member of the Ecurie Ecosse Association. The team came to Watkins Glen to run in Formula Libre race. Went down to the pits to say hello and got invited to be a “guest pit crew member” for Sunday’s race!! I expected to stand in the corner out of the way! Big surprise I was tasked with carrying the pit signal board from the pits to edge of the track to signal Roy Salvadori driving the team’s Cooper Monaco!! Keep in mind no pesky waivers to sign for a…”

“This was my dream car when I was in 1st grade. I had (and still have) a Matchbox car of this car in the same color! This brings back so many great memories. Cars are a beautiful reminder of the past. @seller – thank you for bringing this to auction. Best of luck.”

“When I think about my 16 years with Penry, I often think about the adventures we went on. Here’s a little story for you….It was 2016 and I had been hired to do a show in Missoula, MT. The thought of not being able to mountain bike, camp, or play my guitar for a whole summer led me to pack him up and hit the road. I drove straight through to a friend’s house in St Paul. The next day I headed northwest to North Dakota so I could camp for a couple of days at Theodore Roosevelt National Park…”

“Ok, I am digging deep into the Archives on this one. The year is 1992 and this is my high school yearbook. My buddy’s dad had a 1987 black 911 turbo and my friends brother had a 1987 928 S4, the third one is me in my dad’s Porsche at 17 years old dreaming off the future. That picture is 34 years old and 51 year old me has it in my garage still:) This car has brought me happiness for decades and hopefully the next care taker of it will experience the same joy it has brought me and my family.”

“This car was purchased from Ed Jurist By Ted Billings in 1966 after Ed had brought it back from South America. That Engine is supposed to be the backup to the Mormon Meteor and was shipped to Argentina so the car could be raced. That is a real blower looks exactly the same as it did in 1966 when Ted took possession of the car. Leo Gephart did not start making reproduction blowers until the 1970s. This is a a great car with real race history in South America. The 1960s photo of the…”

“H.U.04 took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to resurrect, but every bit of it was worth it the moment we saw it completely reassembled.
My team, along with @diverdave36 and so many incredible people throughout the vintage Indy community, spent well over 1,000 hours researching, completely disassembling, meticulously cleaning and cataloging every part, and carefully bringing this piece of history back together.
Every minute spent working on a project like this—or even just being in its…”

“I have learned Ford did offer a 427ci Auto Trans 1968 Cougar but soon after they replaced that engine with the 428ci Cobra Jet. Wow… this is huge! What a find to locate it here. Some lucky bidder will get a vary rare beautiful automobile.”

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

“My first car was a 74 2002, non-tii. I learned how to heel-and-toe in that car and used to make fun of my friend Bob who had a GTO he thought was real tough. Oh sure, in a straight line he’d blow me away but he had to start braking for turns about ½ mile out, and I’d just cruise by him, by the time we left the turn he was in my mirror, then in about 15 seconds I’d choke on his exhaust as he smoked (literally) past me. My other friend Rich said if he ever robbed a bank he would hire me as his…”

“Well that was fun! I just wanted to comment here that i fell in love with this car when I was 16 years old. The first car I ever bought myself at 17 was a 1992 Black SHO, and my friend had a white 89. I’ve owned 5 of the Gen 2 cars since 2003 and I’ve been waiting to add the right SHO to my collection. I have my favorite car from each decade and the car from the 80s was the last missing piece. I am excited to year the secondaries open on the Yamaha 3.0 and to show my 3 young kids what peak…”
