    “@volvoracer9 – That is an excellent question. The guy who created this went to great lengths to make it accurate. As far as I have found, everything is correct except the brakes/wheels/hubs. A true MC850 will have 4 bolt wheels and hubs with a different front brake caliper. I put on adjustable Spax shocks but the original Koni shocks come with it. Engine and head are correct for MC850 as is the entire interior including the rear seat which is basically cushions on top of a storage bin. Club…”

    “Hell yeah! I owned one when I was younger, and of course nostalgia is a strong drug. I can say this much, she will get driven!”

    “I am the previous of this car and I knew the engineer that built the car. The builder was a very talented engineer and sadly he passed away. I knew the car and I bought it from his estate. The car is a blast to drive and I will miss it. The only reason I have for selling it is that I am getting old and I still have a bucket list of cars that I would like to own before it is too late. I am sure that the new owner of this car will get a lot of enjoyment out of it.”

    “It is a particular pleasure to make comments about this particular alloy engine . disc brake 300SL Roadster. 210 of the total of 1958 300SL Roadsters manufactured between ’57-’63 had the lower weight alloy block engines. These were produced from 3/62 through 2/8/63. The factory built an initial run of 229 numbered alloy block engines, all in 1962, 19 of which were “spares” I owned a number of this variety of 300SL RO’s including this one from ’89-’98. As I recall it was completed in the…”

    “My wife & I got married in July 1978. We packed her little red Chevette to the hilt with all of our wedding gifts and drove from Chicago to Houston with only gas stops along the way. Took us 24 hours! After a few years the drivers floor pan rusted through. A sheet of 3/8 plywood cut to size fixed that. It was no longer the Fred Flintstone mobile! Also had a problem with the horn button. Every time we would turn the wheel to take a corner the horn would honk. NO PROBLEM! We would wave at…”

    “@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.…”

    “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…”

    “My dad bought a new 406 w/3x2s in early ‘63. Ford introduced the 427 fastback “legend” as a 63 1/2 model. My dad blew up his 406 and Ford replaced it with a 427 shortblock…under warranty. He will be 85 next week. This one would be a great birthday present!”

    “There are few things that could improve Fort Stockton. This Texaco station would be one of those. One morning it could simply appear, as if the town had been holding its breath for eighty years and finally exhaled in porcelain enamel and red stars.
    It isn’t a working gas station, not really. Nobody’s pumping Sky Chief into a ’57 Ford Sunliner or wiping windshields with a rag that’s seen seven administrations. It’s a shrine. A perfectly scaled, lovingly obsessive recreation, right…”

    “With the recent unveiling of the Dark Horse SC, it only cements that the GT350/R is the last of its breed. Naturally aspirated, special engine (high revving flat plane crank) with a high quality Tremec transmission. The car has already reached legendary status, often compared with a Porsche GT3. The sound is intoxicating, especially north of 6,000 rpms.”

    “If you haven’t ever heard an F355 with a Tubi exhaust in a nice decently long tunnel run, you should. The 355’s have a Flat plane crankshaft, and with a Tubi Exhaust has a Formula 1 sound… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jchd1Sj6PsM If you are in a hurry, you can start at 30 seconds. If the link does not work you can go to Youtube and search for “Ferrari F355 tunnel run” (by Fast Terrific) Not many cars can give you goosebumps when you hear them, this one does.”

    “Fun reading the comments here. I’ve owned many 99s over the years. My first car was a Topaz Yellow ‘76 GL 4 door with 90k miles that I bought in 1980 from my local Saab dealership, Reinertsen Motors. It was $3000, but I traded in my 1 year old Motobecane moped, so net cash was $2400 (plus tax). I later traded that 99 at Reinertsen Motors for a ‘74 Carolina Blue 99 LE like this one because I preferred the utility of the hatchback and it looked more up to date at the time as the 900 was…”

    “It’s nice seeing one of these pop up that was actually raced! So many of these factory race cars (from every manufacturer) end up sitting in a collection, never turning a single revolution in anger.
    Awesome Camaro!”

    “As the builder of this immaculate machine I will answer some of the questions that have been posted .
    I’m the Genius that installed the Palmini floor pan on the floor pan . It was and still common to mount the fuel tank in this location . on this paticular kart with three engines there is no room for a seat back tank .
    all of the compoenants are original , I spent a lot of time and money aquiring all the Palmini , Hands and Van Tech parts to build this machine
    All three engines are original…”
