“Oh my… The road trip to bring this to the PNW will be EPIC.”
“Absolutely beautiful! It’s been a local car to me my whole life, even with the move. Unfortunately we’ve never crossed paths. Hopefully a new owner is found and enjoys it like Mr Waite did for 60 years!”

“I know that Singer, Gunther Works, and others have their devoted fan bases, but for me, nothing does it quite like a RUF, ever since teenaged-me read (and dreamed) about the Yellowbird in Road and Track in 1987.”

“It has been a genuine privilege to have this extraordinary 113-year-old racing motorcycle on display in my collection. It stands as far more than a rare machine—it is a tangible reminder of the ingenuity, craftsmanship, and determination of the pioneers who built it.
This motorcycle is a testament to what skilled hands, creative minds, and unwavering perseverance could accomplish more than a century ago.
Yet the motorcycle tells only part of the story.
It also pays tribute to the fearless…”

“As the former owner of XS004 and a serial collector of special Fox Body Mustangs, you can’t find many more special than a KB car. If I had the room I’d be going after this under full boost! GLWTA!”

“Seeing this car at the recent BaT show in Portland instantly made me miss my ERA 289 FIA, chassis #143. I spent countless hours researching Cobra replicas before choosing ERA, then painstakingly spec’d every detail of my car and had it built by some of the best in the business. We sold it on BaT a few years ago for $133,000, and I still think about it.

My biggest regret is keeping it on a four-post lift instead of driving it. I…”

“The Ford Gt‘s have stood the test of time. They are one of the finest supercar ever built a no nonsense analog supercar. We may never see this again at least in my lifetime. The automobile manufacturers currently lack the mechanisms to ever build a car like this again supercharged V8 stick shift an aluminum frame etc. All the low mileage cars and after that all the Ford Gt‘s will approach $1 million. They’re the least maintenance auto in anyone’s collection..”

“About the SVT:
The Hand-Built DOHC Engine:
The Powerhouse: It featured an aluminum 4.6-liter 32-valve V8 engine that pumped out an impressive 305 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque.
Italian Roots:
The lightweight aluminum block was cast by Teksid in Italy, making it ultra-stout and ready to handle high revs.Hand-Assembled Craftsmanship:
Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT) built these engines off-line in small teams where technicians signed off on their finished work, much like exotic…”

“Who’s ready for a Story?
This Car is coming back to Maryland. My father-in-law was the Owner that bought the car in MD. A family member sold the car after his passing without us knowing. I have been searching for a white on cinnamon e46M3 for the better part of the last decade…. When this popped up I got excited. When I saw it was originally from MD, I thought there was a chance. When I saw his name on the paperwork in the old listing I LOST MY MIND… I am so excited to get his car back for…”

“Gorgeous car that is well known by the car people on the local show circuit. To those pondering adding a new Mustang bid with confidence. This is a top notch professional build with ties to a highly regarded local performance shop. Owner is a very nice guy too. I’ll miss seeing it at the local big events. Good luck Mr. H”

“I did the rear disc conversion on this truck many years ago. It was done using front hubs (bolt right on) and RRC /DI rear rotors and calipers. I never liked the way Land Rover cheaped out on the factory rear Salisbury disc setup by using the narrow drive flanges with short splines that strip out easily and short spindles with narrow spaced bearings… That’s why I used to do it this way, retaining the far better wide drive flanges and longer axle spline engagement, with wet splines. The…”

“When I was a kid, I remember overhearing a conversation between my mom and dad about it being time for a new car. Final words to my dad were “I don’t care what it is as long as it’s a station wagon!’. Boy, just imagine if he had come home with this one!!”

“I use to own that car. I bought it from the original owner who owned it in Sacramento California. When I sold it through a Ferrari shop located in San Mateo it went back east . At the time it still had it’s original paint and by looking at the pictures I think it still does.. I had both seats redone in the original material that I obtained from Italy.. i remember the car well. ( I designed the battery closing panel as I could not find back then an original battery cover.. The car never had…”

“I see something like this and am reminded of the “ad specials” that were ordered for the newspaper ad wars for the lowest price on a given model to create showroom traffic. This no option car would’ve been a typical ad special in a metro dealership. I’m reminded of a tan (band aid color) new 76 Granada at the Ford dealership I worked at. Brand new advertised for $3999.00. A true “5 tires 2 keys and a heater” car. No power steering, radio delete, vinyl bench seat 3 speed column shift…”

“The Amazon … Volvo ran ads on TV showing this model driving down a dirt road at about 20 mph. The driver jams the transmission in REVERSE and floors the throttle – the cars rear wheels start spinning backwards and the car is sliding forward … yeah the 122s is tough.”

“In my opinion the textbook definition of a Mercedes-Benz modern classic. This 1991 model is hands down the nicest example I have seen in the last 30 years.
If Bruno Sacco is considered in artist, the C126 is his “Sistine Chapel”.
Best of luck !!!
