“I own an’07 Miata. Nothing goes wrong. Maintenance is inexpensive. It’s a total blast to drive top down. New owner here is gonna be happy with the value he/she gets for the $ spent. These are simply GREAT vehicles. GLWTA”

“Driver & passenger sound like two kids in a candy store – can’t blame them.
Awesome ride to take to a track on weekends & I’d do school drop off during the week.”

Micro912 commented on Paxton-Supercharged 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 Race Car

“@68Vet
Baja California and back to Sacramento in a slant six Dart? That is an absolute adventure and proof positive that these cars were built for exactly that kind of journey. No drama, no breakdowns, just mile after mile of honest reliable transportation through some pretty unforgiving terrain. That slant six was one of the toughest engines ever bolted into an American car and your story is a perfect reminder of that.
Thank you for sharing that memory and for the kind words. That is…”

“At 82 years old I know my time is winding down but I have always recognized and truly appreciated what it took to create something like this.”

“Power to weight for the win! This must about triple the horsepower from stock. I really like the angled exhaust exit and the great choice of wheels. The MOMO wheel is the finishing touch on this extremely tidy build.
I’m already smiling just thinking about driving this street legal go-kart. Being behind the wheel of this would make my face hurt from happiness.
GLWTA.”

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

“The original owner of this car was a friend of mine and I can vouch that this car is everything it is claimed to be. John was a lifetime “collector” and over the years he bought a number of brand new vehicles, drove them home from the dealer, and never drove them again. For him, it was all about “having”. When he was a youngster in the 70’s and 80’s, he was well known in Studebaker circles for his cross-country road trips in his fleet Studebaker Diesel trucks.
One very minor correction..…”

“In a world of SUVs and crossovers it is refreshing to see a wagon. Especially one with a manual transmission. GLWTA!”

“I campaiged a Landspeed Corvair for many years and Tom Keo is one of my heros. He isn’t just a Corvair Genius but also a scholar and a gentleman. Bid With Confidance!!”

“That fuse panel is as good as it gets for 48 years old, no wiring hacks, clean relay blocks, no signs of burnt fuse terminals. And all the fuse positions have the correct fuse in them, and fuse 13 is supposed to be empty. Gotta love the hand-painted stripes on many of the wires, these early cars are full of little easter eggs like that.
Definitely worth the hassle of getting the pics to instill bidder confidence!”

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

“Thks auction has brought back some memories for me. Back in the mid/late fifties my parents had a 1952 Buick Roadmaster woody wagon, maroon with maroon leather interior. It was may fathers favorite car out of many Buicks he had owned. On many warm Sunday afternoons my parents would load me and my brother in the Buick along with a pick nick basket, and sometimes a cocker spaniel, and we’d go for drive. Often the drive took us to a place here in the hills of north central Pennsylvania know as…”

Aridgerunner commented on 1948 Mercury Wagon Woody Marmon-Herrington 4×4

“One of the coolest daily drivers of all time. A wagon with a supercharged v8. The six-speed manual is the cherry on top. GLWTA!”

“I was a teenager HS student working at the corner service station. We had a local Dr that had one of these, his was the beautiful dark blue with matching padded top. He would pull in for gas, 27 gallon tank. After putting the car in “Park” he would tilt the wheel which would almost go horizontal on these and throw a small towel that covered the wheel from rim edge to edge. Gas up. Then………the fun would begin! Around to the car wash. Customers would be directed into the wash at the correct…”

“I have had the wonderful privilege of knowing both Mr. & Mrs. GMCcoachguy for more than two decades via our mutual membership and involvement in the Gull Wing Group. Without question, the seller is one of the most amazing people on the planet. Honestly, there could not have been a better curator for this lovely GMC vintage specimen! Over the years, I have seen how this
motorhome has been cared for and where it has been stored. You could eat off the floor underneath the Coach or off the…”

“These are great cars! I call it my cheaper AMG – 425 hp/385 torque but so much more reliable than AMG and no suspension issues like ABC. I found a tuner in Korea, swapped out the ECU and now have 455/400 in my 19 5.0 – last year for the V8 in the G80. I would say good maintenance, bid with confidence. GL
I get 24.2mpg at 90mph on level pavement in SD and MT, and the Lexicon stereo system can stand with the best Bose and Harmon Kardon!!”

“Fwiw, the red key was introduced with the 999. It was for security purposes and allowed you to pair new black keys to the dash/ECU, as the model was the first to come with a factory immobiliser.
The 996 on the other hand, was still from the simple, analog, old school era. No red key. No digital dash. The only code that came with the bike originally was the mechanical code to get new keys cut, but how often do you lose all the keys to the bike to even need it?
Clutch plates likely fused…”
