“I see something like this and am reminded of the “ad specials” that were ordered for the newspaper ad wars for the lowest price on a given model to create showroom traffic. This no option car would’ve been a typical ad special in a metro dealership. I’m reminded of a tan (band aid color) new 76 Granada at the Ford dealership I worked at. Brand new advertised for $3999.00. A true “5 tires 2 keys and a heater” car. No power steering, radio delete, vinyl bench seat 3 speed column shift…”

“The Amazon … Volvo ran ads on TV showing this model driving down a dirt road at about 20 mph. The driver jams the transmission in REVERSE and floors the throttle – the cars rear wheels start spinning backwards and the car is sliding forward … yeah the 122s is tough.”

“Seeing this car at the recent BaT show in Portland instantly made me miss my ERA 289 FIA, chassis #143. I spent countless hours researching Cobra replicas before choosing ERA, then painstakingly spec’d every detail of my car and had it built by some of the best in the business. We sold it on BaT a few years ago for $133,000, and I still think about it.

My biggest regret is keeping it on a four-post lift instead of driving it. I…”

“The Ford Gt‘s have stood the test of time. They are one of the finest supercar ever built a no nonsense analog supercar. We may never see this again at least in my lifetime. The automobile manufacturers currently lack the mechanisms to ever build a car like this again supercharged V8 stick shift an aluminum frame etc. All the low mileage cars and after that all the Ford Gt‘s will approach $1 million. They’re the least maintenance auto in anyone’s collection..”

“About the SVT:
The Hand-Built DOHC Engine:
The Powerhouse: It featured an aluminum 4.6-liter 32-valve V8 engine that pumped out an impressive 305 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque.
Italian Roots:
The lightweight aluminum block was cast by Teksid in Italy, making it ultra-stout and ready to handle high revs.Hand-Assembled Craftsmanship:
Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT) built these engines off-line in small teams where technicians signed off on their finished work, much like exotic…”

“On my dog walks about once every two weeks, only on sunny days, a 442 that looks to be identical to this car drives by me. I’ve yet to be able to check out the car up close. The sound of that car is amazing. The look of that car is amazing. snap my neck following it as it goes by. Probably one of the best looking cars in my town, and there are plenty of nice cars. These cars wear yellow really well. The tasteful black stripe accents are icing on the cake. Necking snappingly beautiful. Like…”

“The duck walks into a bar by himself and sits down on a stool.
The bartender none-too-happy walks over and stares at the duck.
The duck stares back… both glare at each other for a few moments.
No words are spoken until finally the duck speaks up and says.
Sunday’s the famers day off…”

“Ditto to that! Awesome look. Have a 93 myself and live in Austin.
Pearl Black 199 with gray interior and 120,000 miles. Have had sine 101,000 miles and about 3 years. Awesome ride.
What is the history of the car pre 2009?
How about service records?
Where was it serviced in Austin? Ben’s?
I’ll be out of town on a e500 road trip from Austin to Midwest to northeast and southeast then back early August.
This car was made for the road!
Even getting 20 mph!
Looking forward to seeing where…”

“Dad bought a brand new black 1962 Galaxie 500, 390ci with red and white interior and side chrome piece inserts. I was a junior in high school. One of my regrets in life was not admitting to dad the reason the right rear tire kept loosing tread was my stupid showing off, burning the tire (left rear didn’t lose tread as quickly). He took the car to the dealer several times to see if they could ‘fix’ the tread problem. If you’re looking down dad, I’m sorry. John”

“I’ve seen these cars in person when they were new at Straman’s over next to the Orange County Airport. The workmanship is superb. No one believes me when I say that there was a convertible CRX.
More importantly than that, no one believes there was EVER a teddy bear wheel made for any car – and I’ve told stories about them on a Volkswagen Cabriolet I once had. I have only ever seen ONE at a tire dealer. Never a complete set.
This car embodies every story I’ve ever told about cars made of…”

Thank you bud. You have no idea what this car means to me. Money aside I always wanted one when I was a kid and a friend of mine had one once and would always wear blue socks because of the car. Just wonderful memories with this platform in my head.”

“I owned a J-car with V6, they were better and more reliable than they get credit for. Chevrolet did a great job styling the Z24, love the cowl-induction hood. Those tint headlight covers are pure 80s nostalgia, I sold hundreds of them back in the day.”
