    “This was my dream car when I was in 1st grade. I had (and still have) a Matchbox car of this car in the same color! This brings back so many great memories. Cars are a beautiful reminder of the past. @seller – thank you for bringing this to auction. Best of luck.”

    “When I think about my 16 years with Penry, I often think about the adventures we went on. Here’s a little story for you….It was 2016 and I had been hired to do a show in Missoula, MT. The thought of not being able to mountain bike, camp, or play my guitar for a whole summer led me to pack him up and hit the road. I drove straight through to a friend’s house in St Paul. The next day I headed northwest to North Dakota so I could camp for a couple of days at Theodore Roosevelt National Park…”

    “Ok, I am digging deep into the Archives on this one. The year is 1992 and this is my high school yearbook. My buddy’s dad had a 1987 black 911 turbo and my friends brother had a 1987 928 S4, the third one is me in my dad’s Porsche at 17 years old dreaming off the future. That picture is 34 years old and 51 year old me has it in my garage still:) This car has brought me happiness for decades and hopefully the next care taker of it will experience the same joy it has brought me and my family.”

    “Something for my 70th Birthday. Perfect car for surf and snowboarding! I will restore the outside and leave the inside as is. Perfect winter project for me.”

    “These are so subtle and cool, definitely exceed the cool factor of a WRX or Lancer for nerds like me.”

    “I was a dispatcher at Greyhound in the 80s just after the last Buffalos were retired. One thing you used to see in ads for used buses was “Never a Greyhound,” meant to say it was never thrashed in daily Dog service and probably wouldn’t have chicken bones shoved into all the heater outlets. Looks like a nice bus.

    “I have been fooling around with cars, one way or another, for over sixty years, and I can’t think of any individual automobile that has enjoyed such star quality for such a long time. Look up the rhapsodic writeup on the 300SL Gullwing in “Sports & Classic Cars”, (Borgeson/Jaderquist), published in 1955! Even then, these cars had qualities that set them apart from all others. Their looks, their performance, their racing history, and the people associated with them…everything adds to the…”

    “Fun memory. I purchased a very clean, low milage `64 Galaxie 500XL
    R-Code 427 4 speed when I returned from Vietnam in `67.
    Paid $1700, 59 years ago, when these were just very nice “Used Cars”.
    Now, these survivors are the best of the full size “Muscle Cars” extant.”

    “The Gumball Rally Cobra S/N 3243 had been stored for years until around 2013. Sitting next to it was a 289 Comp.Car. Both came back into the sunlight.

    I have photos of CSX3243 in January of 2014 at the shop of an incredible Pebble Beach restoration mechanic and a dear friend.
    Chuck Bail really did it right using Daytona Spyder’s, A/C Cobra’s and recording sounds with Parabolic mikes. There will never be another. Sold my Spyder and…”

    “I love these so very much, and that winter scene photo reminded me of a similar photo of a friend’s rally race car fairly well burried in the snow after sliding a little too wide in a corner.”

    “My family has been the proud steward of this remarkable 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham for nearly 70 years, and it has been one of our most treasured possessions. My father purchased this car new in 1957 as a gift to my mother, and it has been a part of our family’s story ever since.
    My father, Ralph S. Peer, was a pioneering figure in the American music industry; the A&R executive behind some of the most historically significant recordings ever made, including Crazy Blues, the first…”

    “The car that blasted through Porsche RR7 at Laguna Seca Raceway in Oct 2023. I could remember being invited to the unveiling of the GT3 R Rennsport. Patrick Long was introducing this beauty in the hot pits at Laguna Seca Raceway outside of garage 12. Great memories capturing this beauty through the crowd of enthusiasts and gear heads at 9:30 pm at night after day one of Porsche’s RR7. One of the best modern day GT cars by Metzger and Porsche.”

    “A cool Ferrari moment I thought I would share, the Mondial was the only model Ferrari pope John Paul II was ever seen in. This picture comes from the Pope’s visit to the legendary Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy back in 1988. He later celebrated Mass at the Fiorano Circuit racetrack. Instead of traveling in the regular Popemobile that day, the Pope took a ride in one of the Ferraris that was waiting for him at the factory. The mondial remains an icon with timeless pininfarina lines, mid…”

    “This is about as thoughtful of a build as they come. The TJM T17 is the best aftermarket bumper in my opinion. I’m curious about the Kenwood touch screen – I’ve got an ’03, and am not familiar with this navigation delete.”

    “I’ve learned a lot on this project. Thank you dad, grandpa, uncles, and friends to show me around the toolbox. This project has certainly helped me as a 15T Blackhawk mechanic to pick up aviation terminolgy easier. I wouldn’t have had the start I did without your help. My projects started small LOL, but have gotten bigger over the years. If anyone has any remaining questions, feel free to ask. Happy to see this car go to a good owner, but I’m happy to drive it around to car shows and…”

    “The Lexus LS430 was built at the moment when the pursuit of perfection and the economics of mass production briefly coincided. That window has closed; it may not open again in our lifetime. And so these cars matter—not for what they are worth in dollars, but for what they prove: that it was possible, that once, for six years in a factory in Tahara, Japan, human beings got as close to perfect as human beings have ever got in the building of a motorcar. And then they stopped, and we moved on……”
