“Hard to imagine that this stunning body style only lasted 3 years. Peak GM sculpting straight out of mid century Detroit. Whew”
“Just stunning. Hard to imagine today that these were once just considered cars and converted to race cars and sometimes trucks! I read where a wealthy widow donated her late husband’s for scrap to support the war effort.”

“I love that this has 19k miles. Someone has actually enjoyed it. 500+hp in late 80s/early 90s must have felt like you were on top of the world. Even by today’s standards, 500hp is still very enjoyable.”

“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 Montrealer is visiting LA for the weekend.
I visited the Peterson Museum yesterday, including the Vault … what a treat for this layman to see so many spectacular “automobiles” in 1 place!
This Rolls would be perfectly suited there.
@Dollycat3, cheers back …with a fine cup of British tea for this gem.”

“I have an extensive amount of hands on detailing and reconditioning experience with the W126 model over the past 25 plus years, and its so nice to see such a well preserved low mileage example. This is such a period cool color combination, and the brown leather is so clean and well preserved !!!
I would LOVE to personally own a car like this, but I would probably double the mileage within the first year if I did. Such a great driving car, and in my opinion the W126 is way up high at the top…”

“GM should bring back the S-10! I had a 92′ and put 435,000 miles on it. Same engine as this one. Parts were cheap and they were easy to work on.”

“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 few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“Jimmy Don Ventura had owned enough unusual automobiles over the years to believe he understood the public. He’d driven a lime-green AMC Gremlin, a Triumph Spitfire that leaked oil with the determination of an East Texas mosquito, and a Plymouth Barracuda that had once stranded him in front of the Dairy Twin during the lunch rush. Every one of them had attracted comments, questions, and unsolicited mechanical advice from complete strangers.
Then he bought Fred.
Officially, it was a 1949…”

“Alfredo’s Foreign Cars in Larchmont, NY never closed. I bought many Alfas from that dealership from the 1960’s on, the most recent my ’23 Stelvio. During the period when Alfa temporarily stopped selling in cars in the USA, Alfredo’s was the one of the few dealers that maintained its official Alfa Romeo dealer parts and service.”
