    “Even as a “Project” this Hispano-Suiza exudes and elegance few cars can match.
    I suppose it may be because of my affinity for Packards, but a V-12 (with the exception of that dreadful thing used in the Lincoln Zephyr) always grabs my attention. I hope we will get to see this wonderful car completed.

    @Hoppy18 – Reading about this Hispano-Suiza makes for a fine start to a Saturday morning! Thanks for the tag!”

    “For prospective buyers, Marcus Anghel is second to none in Mustang restoration. Getting a car that Marcus restored, even only partially like this one, is an honor. He is at the top for Gen-1 Mustang originality and details. Check out his website for an education.
    And as others have noted, Gulfstream Aqua is a stunning factory color on this model.
    Looking forward to the final price.”

    “My first car was a 73 4 door custom. White with black vinyl roof and bondo fenders my Dad did with chicken wire. Slant 6 with an FM converter added that also picked up TV stations. Also had a 70 340 Swinger in HEMI orange for a few years. I have a soft spot for 70’s Darts. GLWTA!”

    “A fellow named Irv Gordon had a ‘66 Volvo P1800S and drove it for 50 years till his death in 2018 at which time he had clocked a little over 3,200,000 miles and is the Guinness world record holder. Goes to show that there are some things you just never get tired of. :)”

    “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”

    “Hi this is Phyllis Yes. I bought the car back because I couldn’t sleep thinking

    “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…”

    “I flew back seat in one of these in Vietnam in 1969. On a flight from Phan Rang to Bao Loc, we were doing some low contour flying, and flushed out a huge tiger, which we chased down a clearing for several hundred yards, before it dived back into the jungle. If you’ve seen a house cat stretch out while running at full speed, you can imagine the size of a big tiger, at speed. I think he was longer than the L-19. I remember it, as if it was yesterday.”

    “A 1993 900 turbo was the first car I ever bought for myself after grad school. That was after putting 160,000 miles on a 1983 900S that I drove in all 48 of the continental US. The motors in these cars are bulletproof. And driving them always felt like flying an airplane. My screen name is homage to the 9000 Aero that replaced the 900 turbo. To say I was obsessed with SAABs in my 20s and 30s would be an understatement. They were front wheel drive Porsches, the most intelligent cars ever built.…”

    “I sold new Mazdas for 24 years in Cincinnati. This car is RARE, only 1519 made in Yellow. My store got 2. We sold them both to a local real estate company to give away 2 year leases to the 2 top salespeople in a timed sales contest. I made great friends with one winner, a gal who was their top producer year after year. They loved it, bought it at lease end. Well they owned property in Florida and wanted the car there, so asked me if I would drive it down for them they would fly me back. What a…”

    “I remember growing up in the 90s and early 2000s watching this series on speedvision, cable channel 53 back then. Kinda brings back memories of the real time integra type r from back in that era as well. Great memories.”

    “I remember back in the mid to late 80s, collectors were buying big blocks C2’s, but stayed away from split windows, telling everybody nobody wants them, hard to see out of the back, blah, blah blah! Funny how times have changed.
    Beautiful Car, GLWTA!”
