“OK let’s get serious here.
What a lot of us often don’t realize when we look at something like this is the enormous amount of time, engineering, design, and late night haunting representing thousands of hours by dedicated people to develop and refined a complete and functional performance car.
You are not just buying the parts to make cars, you’re buying an entire history of what it took to build the cars.
So…if you are contemplating building your own cars, this is an excellent way to…”

“I own both a Ghibli and a Daytona and although I really like the Daytona the Ghibli is my go to car for long drives or if I anticipate stop and go traffic. Both cars have beautiful lines. The Ghibli is more reliable and more user friendly. The steering wheel can be adjusted up/down and the seat back is adjustable. No such luck on the Daytona. This car has power steering while the Daytona feels like a truck at slow speed.
The Maserati V8 has tons of low end torque while the V12 Ferrari needs…”

“Awesome, I am so happy! This will live with several Ford Shelbys in the garage one of which being a ’65 GT350, so I am absolutely going to re-enact that magazine cover!!!! I’ll be driving it home to Pittsburgh and it will hardly be a trailer queen, but will be well taken care of.”

“This takes me right back to the ’90s. If you didn’t have a B16 or B18 swap, you wanted one. B16s, B18s, Frankenstein builds this is exactly what we were doing back then. Very cool.”

“These early GM hardtops (Buick and Oldsmobile also had this roofline on certain models in 1949) are both rare and a landmark design. Great proportions. Glad to see one on the market.”

“It has been a genuine privilege to have this extraordinary 113-year-old racing motorcycle on display in my collection. It stands as far more than a rare machine—it is a tangible reminder of the ingenuity, craftsmanship, and determination of the pioneers who built it.
This motorcycle is a testament to what skilled hands, creative minds, and unwavering perseverance could accomplish more than a century ago.
Yet the motorcycle tells only part of the story.
It also pays tribute to the fearless…”

“As the former owner of XS004 and a serial collector of special Fox Body Mustangs, you can’t find many more special than a KB car. If I had the room I’d be going after this under full boost! GLWTA!”

“Anecdotally, I was told by the head of Porsche Museum (at the time) Dieter Labdsburger, that they took the Abarth to the wind tunnel and a standard 356, and found out that the Abarth, that they paid a lot of money for for further development in aerodynamics, was less aerodynamic than the stock version! I think this example is simply beautiful, tastefully done, and without the aerodynamic drag of the car it was trying to emulate…. but retaining the lovely engine lid. I will be watching….…”

“When I was a new pilot in a Navy Fighter Squadron, one of my favorite “older” Squadron mates used to have get togethers at his house. He had a bar in his kitchen /living room and at the end was his lucky ejection seat that he had used when he was an F-8 pilot. He had the seat built in and only HE was allowed to ever sit in that “lucky” seat! Good memories.”

“I’ve owned two of these. My first was a brand new fawn beige 283 4bbl that I drove 60,000 miles in three years. I had the dealer add GM seat belts. It was completely trouble free. Mine originally came with the spare tire tucked under the top well. About a year into it Chevrolet had a recall to move it to the right rear quarter panel are as this car shows. People were cutting the rear window and stealing the spare tires. I still have the original window sticker. A beautiful car.”

“Love this example. I also have a Piedmont Green Metallic E400 Wagon (more photos on my IG @ptsrs) and can confirm it is a wonderful family car. It also gets surprisingly a lot of compliments, especially from young dads haha. As the other Piedmont owner said, the color is incredibly dynamic. The M276 V6 is buttery smooth and has a good reputation for reliability.
I searched for my wagon for several months, and pored over all of @1600veloce’s past listings of these wonderful wagons before…”

“My parents bought a blue 1964 Wagon like this and we made two big trips from MN, one to Southern California, including Disneyland, and the other to Alaska. The Alaska trip was memorable for my two brothers and I. We had 11 flat tires, the gravel was almost as big as the mosquitoes, big trucks flew by us as we rolled up the windows and ducked, of course the windshield needed replacement and within a year all of the paint had peeled off the hood. But other than that, no breakdowns and 60 year…”

“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”
