    “The RoundPort exhaust manifolds were the cracker jacks , not the blocks.
    Straight water freezing in them is the #1 block cracker.
    Most times in the lifter valley.
    71 YG code 455 , 2bbl Automatic application. 2bolt mains.

    “@ix_xi
    As a TCR car homologated by the FIA for championships around the world, “it’s mandatory to use Racing Certified TCR fuel with at least 98RON Unleaded.”
    So safe to say you will be fine if you use 98 octane unleaded fuel which is generally available at the track or from any respected vendor.”

    “WOW! I’m exhausted. Congratulations ttscout. I hope it meets all your expectations and then some. Excited to work with you to get the details done.
    Thank you for all the comments, questions, compliments and interest.
    I’ve now been on both sides of a BAT auction. Both are equally exciting, fun and nerve wracking. I need a beer.”

    “Lauterbach hulls are indeed special as is the family. Thanks for the heads up about the book and reunion. If there was a way to get to the event it sure would be fun.
    Back in the 1970’s on Seattles Green Lake were some special times. We would sit on the beach with a battery operated B&W 2 inch TV screen watching Indy and at the same time enjoy the boat races. Some hard core racing with Larry Lauterbach and then Tom D’Eath piloting Lauterbach hulls against John Leach’s Buccaneer.…”

    “My great grandmother was one of the first VW owners in Montana. I think she was on her third VW when she purchased one just like this, same color, in 1962-63, from the dealer in Butte. By this time, my great grandfather had stopped driving, so she drove them everywhere. One road trip took them west to Seattle, down through San Francisco and finally to Phoenix before heading back home via the Grand Canyon and other sights. Quite an adventure–but just one of many–for two old fuddies in a…”

    “WOW! I am speechless. what an incredible auction full of passionate enthusiasts. I’m humbled by it all, and so incredibly happy to see that people recognize the hard work and love I put into this car — and also the obvious appreciation of the goldilocks nature of the 987.2 2.9L.
    thank you to everyone who commented and bid, and especially thanks and congratulations to @D4307. you’re getting a truly incredible car!
    I’ll be in pain seeing it go, but as Epictetus said: never say of anything…”

    “I have fond memories enjoying this car before selling it to J Seminetta years ago… It’s one of many I wish I never sold! It’s great to see it so well maintained
    and cared for all these years. Killer Car! The new owner will love it.”

    “Gorgeous! I drove an ‘85 all through college in the ‘90s. Even through the Michigan winters. So many fun times in that car! I sold it with around 150,000 miles on it. Years later i ran into the woman that bought it. She had 220,000 miles on it. Fenders were falling apart with rust. But that in-line 6 still ran like a top!”

    “It is hard to imagine now how many of these cars were basically abandoned when gas approached $1.00 a gallon in the late 70s. I bet many people wish they had their old hemi cars now.”

    “The 330 GTC has always been a favorite of mine. And the 512BB. When I was first working out of college in the early ’80’s my wife and I honeymooned in San Francisco and I dragged her to Ferrari Los Gatos, and there on the floor were my two dream cars, a 330 GTC sitting next to a 512BB. I remember them being in the $25 – $35K range? And thinking, I’ll be able to afford one of those. Unfortunately life intervened and prices for these cars increased but I was finally able to realize a dream…”

    “I own a manual 6 speed ’07 NC. These are just fabulous vehicles. Nothing goes wrong. Certainly one of the finest engines Mazda ever built. Gobs of fun driving top-down and a true value fot the $ spent. New owner will be happy. GLWTA”

    “Thanks to all bidders. I fell in love with the 904 when I first saw one in the 1980’s. I think it the most beautiful care design ever. Thats why I had to have the Beck 904. I started discussing the car with Chuck Beck in early 2020, and pulled the trigger in October of 2020. It was a 3 year build process, and I visited the factory many times during the build. My wife was involved too, and picked out the interior colors. I think it turned out nicely. Thanks for all the positive comments.”

    “The 505 wagon, IMHO, is one of the great longroofs. They endure rugged conditions in Africa without complaint. The 4 cylinder engine is about as indestructible as they get. Cargo capacity is unmatched. Yet the ride is so so comfy. Best seats anywhere. The video shows it off well.”

    “My Dad was a district service manager for GM in the 90s and early 2000’s and as a part of that we would get a new demo car to drive every couple mos. After the dismal launch of the Aztec in 2000, GM wanted to get make the best out of a bad situation so they gave them to every service manager in the country to “get the word out”.
    When I turned 16 and got my license, we got the Aztek. Bright yellow if I recall correctly, and rather than the usual 3 mos cycle, we had it for a full 7 mos.…”
