A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“In Carlisle, Pennsylvania 2025 the chief engineer of the project who has since retired stated that this is the perfect supercar. All of the cars tested went 213 mph but they only certified the GT for 205 mph. He also noted that not one motor malfunctioned in the testing process. all of the first and second generation Ford Gt‘s engines were built by Jack rousch at their plant in Michigan.. when I visited the engine factory back in August he was actually there working believe it or not in…”

Wheelyneat commented on No Reserve: 2004 Lexus LS430

“My ‘84 was the twin of this car. It too had the blue interior, which I thought was much more interesting than the more common red/burgundy. Worthless Trivia: the ‘84s gained a filler piece at the front bumper which concealed the lower fascia.
To this day that car remains as a favorite. Many fond memories of track days at Lime Rock Park, graduate school in Indiana, that little car followed me around like an energetic puppy.”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“Wish Ford still made trucks like this one. No cam phasers no direct injection no automatic fuel management system. Just a plain nothing fancy naturally aspirated engine. I sure I am not alone with my thoughts but GLWTA.”

“In the world of VW owners who loved their sporty cars in the 1980s there will always be Golf/GTI owners and Scirocco owners. I was very proudly the latter.
I am a 3x Scirocco loyalist and owned a 1977, a 1982, and lastly a 1988 16v. To me the Scirocco stood apart from the rest of the VW lineup and the styling was a huge draw to it. I made so many lifelong memories in those cars, most notably my 16v as I had it in college and even met my wife-to-be while I owned it.
I’m pretty sure I…”

“These Z71’s were tanks! Had a white 2003 (ironically bought it from original owner in Scarsdale as well!!). It was unfortunately totaled when my wife got into a bad accident with it the day after Xmas 2020. Rolled 3 times, but that roof rack saved her as it remained fairly intact.”

“My husband has been wanting a Porsche since he was 8. This is a dream come true. Thank you all!”

enricojillforlenza commented on 1980 Porsche 911SC Coupe

“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…”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“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….…”

racetobid commented on Modified 1960 Porsche 356B Sunroof Coupe

“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.”

Sequoia commented on No Reserve: ACES II Ejection Seat

“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.”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

“I am Bernie’s eldest daughter. I would like to thank everyone for their positive comments. My dad has read them all. I would also like to “publicly” thank @skydriver1949 for the countless hours he has spent helping my dad through this process. My dad bought this car when he was 32 and it’s been a cherished (and fun!) part of our family. While it’s difficult to part with the car, it’s time for someone new to be able to appreciate its history.”

“This is why I love this website.”

r33pickup commented on 226-Powered Belly Tank Lakester

“My father loved VWs and I grew up surrounded by a barnyard of mostly early 50s cars and vans. We swapped engines without any regard for anything except which ones ran the best. This is an amazing car anyway, but what truly astonishes me is the original engine still in place. Incredible.”
