Cheers!”

“This 6-series Packard has been a goal to own one – of my Dad and I – our whole lives and finally hope to obtain. This would be for me to enjoy for my retirement.”

“I own a 1938 Flying Squirrel. The engine number is one digit away from this bike and the frame number is two digits away. When I contacted the Scott Club Registry to authenticate my bike I was advised that 220 Flying Squirrels were produced (500cc and 600cc versions combined) in 1938. The whereabouts of 101 were known. Of those, twenty had the redesigned detachable head as does this bike. GLWTS”

“Looking at the pictorial history , this car was a significant custom , built in the golden age of custom cars and was obviously left in a state that may have lead to it disappearing forever .
Accolades to those with the skills , talent and imagination to have originally built it , and cheers to the gentleman who saved it from oblivion and had the fortitude to bring it back .
A great story here if you appreciate or grew up in the era that this came from ..”

“WOW! Some won’t understand it, but for those of us that are old enough to have witnessed the greatness of the “full custom” car era, this is a walk down Memory Lane. I feel very fortunate to have grown up in the So Cal custom car culture and this is a great example of the creative customs from that time. Kudos to all involved in this meticulous and period correct restoration. Thank you for saving this significant piece of automotive history! GLWTA!”

“Wynonna is her name – yes, I am one of those car owners. I bought her from my elderly neighbor who needed a smaller car when she moved in with her children, but the dealerships would not offer her half the NADA guide price in trade, so I paid the NADA price. I knew the history of the car and the mechanic who serviced Wynonna since the early 1990s, but who retired in 2025. He is an AACA member and always at the Hershey Eastern Fall Meet as well as some of the Carlisle Car Show events.…”

“I have had the wonderful privilege of knowing both Mr. & Mrs. GMCcoachguy for more than two decades via our mutual membership and involvement in the Gull Wing Group. Without question, the seller is one of the most amazing people on the planet. Honestly, there could not have been a better curator for this lovely GMC vintage specimen! Over the years, I have seen how this
motorhome has been cared for and where it has been stored. You could eat off the floor underneath the Coach or off the…”

“These are great cars! I call it my cheaper AMG – 425 hp/385 torque but so much more reliable than AMG and no suspension issues like ABC. I found a tuner in Korea, swapped out the ECU and now have 455/400 in my 19 5.0 – last year for the V8 in the G80. I would say good maintenance, bid with confidence. GL
I get 24.2mpg at 90mph on level pavement in SD and MT, and the Lexicon stereo system can stand with the best Bose and Harmon Kardon!!”

“Fwiw, the red key was introduced with the 999. It was for security purposes and allowed you to pair new black keys to the dash/ECU, as the model was the first to come with a factory immobiliser.
The 996 on the other hand, was still from the simple, analog, old school era. No red key. No digital dash. The only code that came with the bike originally was the mechanical code to get new keys cut, but how often do you lose all the keys to the bike to even need it?
Clutch plates likely fused…”

“The 430 HP was NOT underated as often quoted ….This was virtually a race track engine with a wild solid lifter camshaft and open chamber heads with 12:1 compression ratio….all geared for high end horsepower …
Yes, the engine produced 430 HP at 5200 RPM’s but Chevy failed to mention it produced
Over 550 HP at 6200 RPM’s
The “low” HP published at a time when insurance companies were taking a close look at high performance cars”

“Oil control system- As 928 engines evolved from 16V to 32V,and from 4.5 to 5.4 liters, two issues cropped up. First, the oil drainback channels through the block did not change in size, and second, between the high output of the oil pump and the sheer volume of the 32V heads, sustained high rpm could lead to the heads accumulating excess oil-up to 2.5 quarts per side, more than half the total engine oil fill. This A) limited the amount of oil near the pickup, and B) interfered with…”

“Any compact two door wagon is cool in its own right and being a Stude ensures it’ll be the only one anywhere it goes. What’s most unique and exciting about this rarity though is the engine build. I had no idea there was an array of speed equipment for the flathead six, particularly to the level of a high compression aluminum head. Reading the attached Cathcart article (from 1999!) suggests at least 140HP from this little 169ci flattie. It’s got to be a light car, I’m guessing under 3K lbs…”

“This is an absolutely stunning car. We had this one at Macchinissima III and it was a favorite. I had the pleasure to drive it a little bit. It is very approachable but the Ford engine does scream with all the best noises. Condition is on another level of this one.”

“My grandfather bought one of these new back in the day and got a surprise when he picked it up after its first scheduled service at the dealership. The service writer put “Aspen” on the repair order, so my grandfather asked him to correct it. Confused, the service guy walked over to his car and pointed at the “Aspen” badge on the side of the car. They walked around to the drivers side and were greeted by a “Volare” badge! I assume the workers on the assembly line just grabbed the…”

“What a neat rig with an incredible pedigree! And you won’t need to bring a trailer because it’s too precious. Just drive it home and enjoy it.
I don’t have a lot to add on top of what others have said about Harold Allen except to say that many years ago I came into a collection of his Stroppe-related photos from Ford Motor Company and I’m forever grateful for those.
I think this is the only Bronco I know of that was owned by one of Ford’s off road racing stars that has come to market in…”
