    “What a great story, thanks for sharing…
    Also great to see these old cars getting used, dirty and maybe a rock-chip memory or two…
    That Gulf Livery 911 was spotted by me on Fathers Day coming down from Pinecrest last year.
    It was my first time taking my daughter on an annual camping trip my wifes family has been doing for years. Wife doesn’t like camping so after years of declining the invite, I decided my daughter was old enough to give ‘glamping’ a shot as an entry into another…”

    “Back when BMW Car Club of America was still young and Hoffman Motors was the sole U.S. Distributor, it was the club members who offered guidance to BMW owners regarding things to watch out for. One such piece of advice was to avoid purchase of BMWs with two-stage metallic paint due to failure of the clear coat.
    Complaints ranged from dulling, checking to llifting and separation of large clear coat sections on all horizontal surfaces — hood, roof and decklid. After numerous complaints,…”

    “This is the real deal; with a fabulous history. This Ace-Bristol would be an amazing vehicle to take to vintage sports car races, rallies, and/or classic sports car shows. It will attract attention and be a lot of fun.
    I am familiar with this seller; you can trust you are getting something very special.

    “I would have thought Tail of the Dragon at the start of the driving video. But I think I need to get myself out to the west coast for some of your roads. So nice to see cars being used as intended – heck of a build with proof in the performance. Very-very nice, sir.”

    “Somewhat related, gearhead Nick Mason (Pink Floyd) took part in a documentary “La Carrera Panamericana” in the early 1990s, which is just awesome. Wonderful cinematography of the actual race, with Pink Floyd as the soundtrack.
    I stumbled upon the VHS in a bargain bin in the mid-’90s, but it’s all over YouTube now.

    Skip the phone or the iPad when viewing. This gem needs to be seen on your big screen TV, with the audio CRANKED! ;-)”

    “This 6-series Packard has been a goal to own one – of my Dad and I – our whole lives and finally hope to obtain. This would be for me to enjoy for my retirement.”

    “I own a 1938 Flying Squirrel. The engine number is one digit away from this bike and the frame number is two digits away. When I contacted the Scott Club Registry to authenticate my bike I was advised that 220 Flying Squirrels were produced (500cc and 600cc versions combined) in 1938. The whereabouts of 101 were known. Of those, twenty had the redesigned detachable head as does this bike. GLWTS”

    “The Gumball Rally Cobra S/N 3243 had been stored for years until around 2013. Sitting next to it was a 289 Comp.Car. Both came back into the sunlight.

    I have photos of CSX3243 in January of 2014 at the shop of an incredible Pebble Beach restoration mechanic and a dear friend.
    Chuck Bail really did it right using Daytona Spyder’s, A/C Cobra’s and recording sounds with Parabolic mikes. There will never be another. Sold my Spyder and…”

    “My best friend has his dad’s 240Z in this color combo. His dad died when he was young and he’s dreamt of getting it out of the garage, rust repaired, and running since. Sadly I’m not sure that day will ever come. This one… this is just fantastic. Wish he could have one go in his dad’s car… one day!
    Either way… @raffi is a top person and seller! Best of luck to the future buyer! The car will be delivered as promised.”

    “The German language 1989 color info brochure from Porsche lists lachsilbermetallic as color code Z9. I only see three other US market ’89s in this color, would argue that it’s more than 3 paint cans rare, per Rennbow.”

    “Son of the late owner here. My dad found and imported this car (and a few others, including the recent Woodie Fiat Topolino on BaT). He had a collection of several dozen vintage European cars, including many Ferraris, Alfa’s, Lancia, Fiats, Porsches, etc. He was a perfectionist when it came to cars and became more interested in hot rods like this one as time went on because they were more fun to drive on the gorgeous NY back roads. The car would have received /anything/ recommended by Frank…”

    “I just want to say that this car has brought so many good moments to my husband and I through the years. So many shout outs……fun at car shows…..he drove it to our wedding….we rode home in it after. It’s been a part of most of our life celebrations in some way. He passed away this year and it feels time to let someone else make a memory with it. Whomever gets it, I hope you enjoy it as much as we have ❤️”
