“Months and months of car shopping… hope I can daily drive this for another 100k miles”
“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!”
A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“On September 4th, 1979, my father handed me the keys to a slightly used Buccaneer Red-on-White 1974 Pontiac LeMans Sport and said, almost offhand, “Your mother just bought a new Corvette. I need you to help me pick it up—and the LeMans will be your car now. You owe her $2,000, pay it off over the next two years. Here’s a new AAA card, insurance is covered. Oh, and you’re welcome.”
He seemed distracted—probably thinking about the price tag on that new black Corvette. The LeMans…”

“My late grandfather had a 92 Accord EX sedan that he took to 800,000 before he passed. Unfortunately it was in northern Illinois so by the time he died the car was only about 75% there from the beltline down due to rust. It was a stick and still had the original engine and transmission (I think it was only on t he second clutch) and still drove like a dream. If it wasn’t for the rust I would have kept it and drove it to a million plus. This one is tempting. These are really great cars…”

“This is a rare and unique Dart that in 1967 was a radical move. Dodge went into the year continuing the 273 Charger that was a respectable performance V8 with high compression, solid cam and flowed exhaust but it was way behind market as the Mustang got a 390, the Camaro a 396 and the Nova was busting a hot small block. The GT trim was still subdued and the midyear GTS designation was just the logo. For 68 and 69 the GTS trim set apart a separate model and the 340 became an arguably more…”

“Ahhh, the Saab night mode. Easily one of the coolest features ever put in a car. Wish we could have Saabs still being released today, they were so cheeky”

“1988 I’d be taking this home. Mine was blue and white. Like the man said earlier. It would make novice look good. 66 years old still a novice lol. Roll on wheelies, check. Slam second you better be hanging on and sitting foward. The only race I ever lost was to a Ferrari. Smoked him off the line. 120 I looked in the mirror. Too late, just then he blew by me like I was standing still. At 150 came around the next bend. He was just a red speck. Going around the next turn. Ah to be young. Slowly…”

“So publicly… …not 930…
…and not 930 Turbo…
not even 911 turbo!
or even 930 Turbo!
…or even 911 Turbo or Turbo Carrera or Turbo 3.0!
…just…
“turbo””

Symbolic_International commented on 1975 Porsche 930 Turbo
“@CForrest 1975 MY 930 was RoW and were badged simply “Turbo”. The “Turbo Carrera” badging was for US version cars starting in 1976 MY.
Anyone seriously considering a 930 of this vintage should refer to Ryan Snodgrass’s award winning book Turbo 3.0, it is the reference standard for these cars. If you don’t own a copy, buy it. GLWTA!”

“Wow! This has been a dream for years. I grew up riding in the back of a 1971 FJ40 with top off camping throughout Nevada with my family. Can’t wait to show my Dad, but probably won’t tell him what I paid for it!”

2002WS6 commented on 1993 Honda Civic Del Sol Si 5-Speed
“This is Gene Winfield and VooDoo Larry quality imo. I like how there is just enough chrome trim left on the beltline, rear valance, and bumpers. With it being nosed, decked, shaved door handles, and the sectioned trunk lid. That and the frenching of the headlights and taillights. Leaves just the right amount of chrome.
The interior is super clean, the center console around the shifter, and the shifter itself reminds me of a mid 70s Camaro or Firebird.
In pic 27 in the Engine bay, you can…”

“I was 7 years old when this body style came out in 81. Was begging my dad at the time to trade in his 80 Cutlass Supreme for the newer body style cause this looked so aerodynamic. 45 years later and this body style still looks very attractive to me. Curious to see what this beauty goes for.”

01996tt commented on 1984 Toyota Celica GT-S Sport Coupe 5-Speed
“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.”

“My son was racing our Datsun roadster in D Production one of the times Paul ran in the same class at Daytona. He wandered up to our crew working on our roadsturd. His crew had sent him to borrow a multimeter. He would just show up and pay the late regristration fees so everyones crew wouldn’t be packed with “crew” there just to catch a look at him as a star. I think he enjoyed just being one of us club racers. Very pleasant to talk to. He wasn’t in a hurry to get back to his crew who might have…”
