Yesterday’s comments of note

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“C&C T-Tops were as good if not better than factory. Loved the glass to glass look that GM adopted for the 3rd gen cars. I used to install those on 2nd and 3rd gen F-bodies in the 80’s through the 90’s. Way better than the tiny Hurst and American aftermarket Hatches. GLWTA.”

“That 292 cu. in. 6 cyl. engine is a real workhorse. It gets peak torque at a low 1600 RPM. It is not going to win on race day but it will pull most anything you want it to.”

“I cannot properly put into words how excited and truly blessed I am to be the next caretaker of this incredible GTO. My story runs a strikingly similar path to that of the seller. I too, bought my first car at 14-1/2 years old, a rusty, primer covered 1968 4 speed GTO sitting out in front of a house in the very same town, Milton Wisconsin where the seller’s story started with this car 39 years ago. This incredible ’68 GTO is coming back home to Milton where she belongs for now.”

“Tip of the hat to the full undercarriage detail, complete tool kit, original warning stickers on dip stick & suspension components and gas filler recess weld seam photos. This thing is crisp!”

“I just got back from a wonderful trip to Italy.
My faith in humanity was restored, never in my life had I seen so many cool wagons and hot hatches ripping up and down the Autostrade and country roads. Even really neat turbo diesel variants.
The Europeans get it.
Us Americans don’t…still not sure why every household Stateside needs a full size pick-up truck or massive SUV the size of my first college apartment.
I love this auction collection!
The Toyota Crowns are so fantastic, do not…”

“I’ve known Doug and his GT-40 since 1993, have been on the track at the same time, the Alfa wasn’t quite as fast 😉
He drove and cared for the car as you would expect a gentleman of his Caliber would, back in the Ol’days he even drove it to the track, we’d hear him before you would see him. Oh, the sound “The Bundle of Snakes” made!!
We miss Doug.”

“When I was in school, my friend’s parents had one of these…I can still hear the thud of the doors when we got in the backseat and shut the doors. NOTHING sounds like that nowadays. (Maybe a RR, but I wouldn’t know!)”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“I was at summer camp so I was around 10 years of age when my camp best friend said his father was coming to visit for the afternoon. Something I always missed as my father lived in Italy and camp was in the United States. well his father did indeed show up and riding a Vincent Black Shadow! I was by heritage a motor head already. What in the world was this motorcycle, it was not a “you meet the nicest people on a Honda” which were taking America by storm at the time. When my friend introduced…”

“Thanks all. She’ll be coming home to Orange County and I’m looking forward to a drive down the coast and a few open stretches that we’ll both enjoy.”

“When they were introduced could not sell what had been planned for U.S. mkt and some returned to Europe. Those sold here went down in value for awhile and then…. Mine was not taken by first purchaser when it arrived at dealer. I had originally turned the allocation but took it. Early comments from an owner captures it. Fantastic sound, torque, manual, no turbo, compliant suspension, smiles everytime”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“I’ll echo the comments of others re. the magic of 200SI Maseratis. I’ve had a large amount of seat time in one, as well as a 300S, and have personally owned a D Type Jag, Lister Jag, etc etc. The 200SI remains the best sports racing car I have ever experienced. They are indeed utterly usable and enjoyable giant killers. I sincerely hope the next custodian of this car drives it in anger as there are few experiences that can compare! GLWTA! -Colin Comer”

“Had a similar machine built by Idaho Norland, In Paul Idaho, with a Detroit 12V92T engine. We used it at 7,500′-8,000′ elevation in Utah’s Book Cliffs for snow removal from many miles of dirt roads, including down a steep canyon for several miles, in order to allow winter drilling for natural gas wells. It worked great, especially in the canyon where plowing snow was not really practical because a sheer wall on one side of the narrow road and a cliff on the other left no place for plowed snow…”

MTE-Utah commented on No Reserve: 1984 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U1200 w/ Schmidt Snow Blower

“Recently Harry Metcalfe and Jeremy Clarkson met up and talked at length about “Peak Car.” Before overly complicated electronics and nanny state driver aids ruined the experience. When they were comfortable and still had all the power you could want and actually put it down on the road. And before 3 out of every 4 cars on the road was basically the same mid-sized SUV. They both brought Jags to their meetup and I imagine an XKR-S is precisely what they had in mind.”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“Drove my 1966 912 to CA to visit my folks from Fort Hood after returning from Vietnam. I was McQueen’s photo-double and stand-in during the filming of The Sand Pebbles when I received my ‘Greetings’ letter from the draft board. Steve and Neile invited us to ‘the Castle’ for dinner. My 912 began some serious noise and I took it to a Porsche shop Steve recommended. Something was wrong with the factory half axle or axles and, they required replacement/upgrading. I for get now (80…”

“I love the 124, having owned many wagons and coupes and currently a Cab, these really are from a time when M-B was the best in the world. But this one, an AMG wide-body, just wow. I thought the E500 6.0 sold last year was the peak, but I sit corrected, has to be this one. Stunning in every way, GLWTA!”

expletive commented on 1992 Mercedes-Benz 300CE-24 AMG 3.4 Widebody

“This is the perfect example of a GT to be bought and driven. It is completely sorted and ready to drive without concern for “never driven garage queen”
Buy this, drive it, and love it!
They are such a blast to drive”
