“Great spot on the 2022 gearbox oil typo.
Our technicians during that time and during 2023 and 2021 records are all former trained factory Lamborghini guys. You can look them up!
As you can see both Motul and Lucas gear oil was used in 2021 and 2023, so I am very confident this is a “ShopWare” typo.
Our software system in the shop was very clunky until recently.
The former owner was very fussy, this is one of the best 1996-1997 Diablo Roadster examples we have seen. The car was…”

“Hi this is Phyllis Yes. I bought the car back because I couldn’t sleep thinking
that the paint might be taken off. It will be donated to a museum for all to enjoy.”

“Toyota really built them well back in the day. Not only that, but they’re not too big, not too small and look good. New owner will be happy. GLWTA”

“I own the same car, even down to the 1592 twin cam and automatic transmission. It was built 6,028 cars later than this one, currently has 178,408 miles, and is our daily driver. I got it from the original owner’s family, and am technically the 4th caretaker. Since I also specialize in Fiats, I have serviced it mostly from new.
We take it on club tours, and it’s comfortable at an indicated 70+ mph. In 2024 we won worst in class at the concours d’lemons in Seaside California, and last year we…”

“Guys, knowing Chris personally, and seeing all the cars that they done live at they museum, and me being in S30 business for 23 years, restoring these cars from ground up (at DCWClassic) – i can clearly state – theres NO better 240z restored / rebuild at this moment. None. This sets a standart for everyone else.”

“Couldn’t imagine what it would be like to go over 300 mph in a 1967 Mustang. GLWTA!”

“My Dad was a Buick guy and he handed down to me a 1960 Buick Invicta 2 door (2 tone blue and white) with the 445 Wildcat 4 barrel engine. Got 10 miles per gallon, “buried” the ribbon speedometer (120 mph) numerous times and was a “tank” in size…
My “first” car!!!”

Hope those chutes open!

“Oh my goodness. Why aren’t there more of these? A Packard restomod. Some would say it’s sacrilege but whew… well played.”

“I remember filling out a postcard to get a promotional dvd for this car when i was 14. The dvd was about 5 minutes of this car doing straight line accelerations and burnouts. I watched it a ton of times. I thought it was badass then and I still do now.”

“My old GTX! What a joy to see it again, and looking so darn sharp.
Thank you for the shout Randy @BaT – I would’ve missed the listing otherwise. Time travel is fun, eh?
I bought this car in Las Vegas in 2012 after years of hunting for a good one. Even back then, they were quite rare. On the drive home to San Francisco, I took a dirt detour through Titus Canyon in Death Valley, and you can see pics from that in the original auction gallery. One of my favorite car memories of all…”

“My dad also has a Judson in his ’56 lowlight and got me hooked on 36hps. I currently have an Okrasa and just pulled a ’58 T2 36hp out of my Brasilia science project. I see at one point in picture 507 this Ghia had an Okrasa setup. I would have loved to talk to the owner/builder and hear their feedback on the differences. Does the motor still have the Okrasa 69.5 crank or upgraded (356/custom) camshaft with the Judson setup? Does it by chance have a the uber rare “high compression” domed VW…”

“When I was President of the Pit Crew at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles I had the privilege of arranging a Tour of Bruce Meyer’s garage off Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Among his fabulous cars (e.g. the first production Cobra) is the SWB Berlinetta that won its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1961, the highest placing of a SWB at Le Mans.”

TheOMDude commented on 250 GT Berlinetta SWB “Revival” by GTO Engineering

“A few years ago I took one down the Oregon coast, right after some seat time in a GT3. Same engine DNA, same urgency to rev, but the experience couldn’t be more different in the best way. Top down, rowing your own gears, flat-six at 9k RPM echoing off the cliffs… it turns every mile into an event. What a great Porsche. Here’s to the next owner racking up the miles on it.”

“A Volvo PV544 has been my dream car since I was a teenager. I belong to a women’s vintage car club here on the CA Central Coast called the Highway Honeys. “Lemondrop” as I am calling this beauty would be a perfect addition to my life!”

“One of America’s coolest four door sedans ever built, in a beautiful rare color, in excellent condition. Wow!”

“A rare Terminator here. Only 610 Redfire ‘verts rolled off the assembly line in ’03, and only 196 of those had the Parchment Suede seat inserts. GLWA!”
