“Absolute stunner. Certainly one of the top three motorcycles of all time; likely the ‘top one’.
Exquisite restoration. This can, and ought, to be ridden.”

“I’ve driven this car & own a w108 Matt fitted a 113k drivetrain to. If you have the means I highly recommend it.”

“I must commend the team at Revology on an absolute triumph of packaging. It is one thing to shoehorn a Gen 3 Coyote into an early-model engine bay, but the way this has been engineered is incredibly clean. You actually left plenty of room to work on the car, and the plumbing is pure art. It takes a truly discerning eye to differentiate this from a factory-spec 1968 Fastback until you pop the hood.
The juxtaposition of eras is beautifully executed. Catching the modern Ford door-ajar chime in…”

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

“A great car with a great story! I’m often surprised how wing cars are optioned. For example, the C-21 Center front-seat cushion and folding armrest with column automatic, seen here. Deluxe wheel covers? I guess I assume it’s a class of car that would naturally be more loaded up.
Of course their existence as the manufacturers were pushing the limits of NASCAR homologation rules ensures they are inherently fascinating. Producing them had nothing to do with marketing them for profit.…”

“Beautiful Square body! I have had 4 over the last 4 decades and have an 85 GMC Sierra Classic 3500 that is a Fall Guy replica. These trucks are imo the best trucks ever made. Someone will be getting a beautiful example and it being the first year of production is even a nicer feature. GLWTA👌👌👌”

“@64_S1 Not only can you drive this back home to the Midwest, you SHOULD! As one who has driven my S2 Elan coast to coast and border to border, I highly recommend it, with a couple of caveats. First, as you noted, install the side windows. Even with the top down it will keep the wind from beating you up. Then, when you put the top up, only if needed for major rain of course, you will stay relatively dry.
Second, do not use interstate highways unless there is no reasonable alternative. As the…”

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

“Cars were built a la carte in those days. Note that the window sticker lists it as a “sold car,” meaning that it was ordered by the customer in advance, and built by the factory to his specifications. B-body Plymouths used completely different sheet metal and wheelbases between 2 door and 4 door models in those years, with these 2 doors having a very high style. The guy probably just wanted a stripper 2 door which was a common configuration in earlier years. I remember an older gentleman in our…”

“A 400hp mini mini van with a big turbo and a extra pedal? 🍿🍺”

“Having hands on experience with dry ice as well as spending time with Scott dry ice cleaning early on I will confirm 100% the “dryce system” of detailing is NEXT LEVEL !!!
This is the perfect opportunity for a higher volume dealership, museum, or someone looking to jump all in on this business with benchmark level equipment. I started out in the automotive field in the 1990s detailing cars. I learned very quickly that a cheap rotary polisher, shop vac or carpet extractor was just a…”

“This Bronco will be well loved and cherished here. Been a dream of mine to have a Stroppe Baja for many years. Bought a Stroppe tribute here years ago, still have it, still love it, getting a new motor as we speak. But man I always wanted one of the real ones, so cool!”

“Things of the past….
A) Pontiac
B)Colonnade cars and their elegant sportiness
C) Corner Radio Shack where you could pickup a “realistic” fm booster to add to your Pontiac”

“What an amazing, beautiful and rare example! One of the best driving videos featured in a long time. Thank you for driving this with gusto, living vicariously may be the only way most of us experience this!”

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

“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.”

Armbrust commented on Beck 904 GTS

“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.”

“Another one that I helped build at Torslanda in Goteborg. Some had a note under the dash: built in Sweden by a yankee. I was the only American out of supposedly 46 nationalities working there”
