Yesterday’s comments of note: A Practical Look

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

“Some final hour Sport evolution M3 fun facts.
The sport evolution is the 3rd evolution of the E30 M3 homologated for racing. It was produced for just 3 months in 1990 resulting in 600 models. 500 models were required to evolve a race car at the time. Only 204 Red Sport evos were ever made.
This car is 100% original in terms of parts. The modifications are exactly as it left BMW.
The Sport evo was the only E30 M3 to feature a 2.5 Liter S14 engine making 238 HP.
Some easy to spot visual…”

“In the 70’s (in college), I had a summer job at Stern-Hasskell ( high end dealer ) in the Bronx NY. That is where I saw my first and only Mangusta. I never forgot it. It is as stunning today as it was all those many years ago. Thanks for the memories!!”

“I owned SN 5077 many years ago. The 4-liter engine pulls like a locomotive. There is comfortable seating for 4 adults. I think it is the best of the 2+2 classic Ferraris. You will never regret owning it. – Keith Martin”

“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.”

“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!

“Just at the point when after all these years, and carefully observing thousands of listings, you begin to think you’re getting a handle on the collector car market, something like this comes along and puts you back in your place.”

stev0001 commented on LS3-Powered 1952 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe Sport Coupe ICON Derelict

“@mhawkeONT When you get behind the perfectly placed seat and controls slung very low and see the iconic view out of the windshield you know you’re in something very special. You see it you feel it. Going through the gears it just sings, the shifter like a rifle bolt unlike any other. The pedals are place PERFECTLY for heal and toeing. The intake and exhaust climbs to insane levels particularly in 2nd gear, the balance and steering weight are just sublime. Brake pedal feel is just right.…”

“Look at that engine compartment.. not only can you actually see that beautiful big block engine, you can even see the road below! God I miss the simplicity of these old cars! They will forever be timeless.”

“Gorgeous, significant milestone car! Way ahead of its time. Wonderful restoration and great to see it here on BaT. We’re all excited to see what it will do, as well as the interest and conversations it will spark. If only it were in the U.S., dang!”

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.…”

Valiantjim commented on 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona

“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…”
