“In the 70’s my Dad owned/operated a MB repair garage in CA. I used to work with him off/on to assist. His biggest job was a 300 SL roadster a client brought in to have the engine, transmission and differential rebuilt prior to shipping the car off to do the complete renovation. When my Dad completed all of the mechanical work, he asked if I’d like to take the SL out for its first test drive. I was surprised and happy to. I took it easy, went through the gears and put about 5 miles on it.…”

Perfect buy at any price from the perfect seller.GLWTA”

“This is a staggering amount of engineering. To the casual observer it will be hard to detect as the person / team that did this, did it to an OEM standard where you can’t tell where the custom parts start and stop.
Just getting the new long block into the correct position (clears the hood, cross member, firewall, etc.) is hours of trial and error, design work and then fabricating. Then there are all the ancillary items that have to fitted, plumbed and wired, shift linkage, gauges, drive…”

“I saw a red one at a car show in Woodley Park: I thought this was such a beautiful car
I asked the owner if he would sell it: he said $65K
I told him I would think about it: you know how that goes: this was around 1985
Well many years later: I bought a white one LHD at the Gooding auction for a little over
$300,000: a record price at that time
All my car friends said what a stupid purchase!!!
6 months later there was on on the cover of Sports Car magazine that sold for $1.1 million in yellow…”

“I laughed out loud when I saw this listing. Not at the machine or the seller’s fine presentation of course, but at the breadth and depth of human ingenuity for all manor of powered conveyance. We motorheads have a lot of fun don’t we?
Kudos to the seller for showing us what this thing can really do.. Here’s a rig that cuts through all pretense with unapologetic utility. Mainstream automakers take note.”

“Dad still has a Morris van and one of the pickups that he started accumulating in the 1970’s, when my siblings and I learned to appreciate the Morris line of vehicles for what they were/are. Forgive me for recycling one of my comments from 2014, which I hope is appropriate and appreciated again:
One of the most ubiquitous vehicles of my childhood, after Austin Healeys and Lotus Elites.

“Not sure aircraft on here will be common but will say the comments on this are both knowledgeable and accurate regarding it and the mission, as well as their history in general. Wasnt sure what the comments would be but the knowledgeable have come out of the woodwork. A lot of Vets out there that you would never know by looking. Sometimes it takes a conversation like this for them to step forward. GLWA”

“In 1967, my dad informed me that he had purchased, with my savings, 1960 Falcon with 60K miles for $325.00.
While it would not have been my choice, I was excited to enter the world of independence from walking, bicycling and public transportation.
The 144 ci engine didn’t last long with my heavy foot and the constant diet of re-refined oil I fed it from our local Site gas station.
I found a 260 at the junk yard and that was a great improvement.
The original radiator did not like the 260, so…”

“Jimmy Don Ventura had owned enough unusual automobiles over the years to believe he understood the public. He’d driven a lime-green AMC Gremlin, a Triumph Spitfire that leaked oil with the determination of an East Texas mosquito, and a Plymouth Barracuda that had once stranded him in front of the Dairy Twin during the lunch rush. Every one of them had attracted comments, questions, and unsolicited mechanical advice from complete strangers.
Then he bought Fred.
Officially, it was a 1949…”
