“Mustang II getting some respect. Finally!”
“In the 70’s (in college), I had a summer job at Stern-Hasskell ( high end dealer ) in the Bronx NY. That is where I saw my first and only Mangusta. I never forgot it. It is as stunning today as it was all those many years ago. Thanks for the memories!!”

“IMO….The best wagon ever produced for the money….If serviced and maintained properly, these are pretty much bullet proof….Mine is a black metallic 6 speed with atacama with 205K miles and it drives like it left the factory yesterday!”

“Mr. Tardel should get AMT to issue a 1/25th scale plastic model of this car. Then I can have one and use up my old tube of Testors glue from 1963.”

“Oh my God. To find any of these with their original police equipment is one thing. But to find one that was basically never driven? Unheard of.”

“This is a sweet ’69 El Camino L78… no vinyl top! Could have been used to drag race or simply used to pull a boat down to the river. With the pin-striping that was removed, my guess, it was sparingly used to launch a Sanger flat-bottom boat with a built 427.

“I had the absolute pleasure of being parked next to this vehicle at the BaT concours d’elegance in Elkhart Lake on Saturday evening, and I must say: this car somehow looks even better in person. I am in and out of a ton of aircooled Porsches in a professional capacity, and this may be the nicest 911SC I’ve ever seen. It’s obvious after talking to the seller that they took their time to refurbish the car the correct way – with the love and care this fine example deserves.
Somebody is going to…”

“There were two icons of the late 1980s for me: the Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk2 16V and the Lancia Delta Integrale 16V.
If you grew up like I did in the 1980s there’s a good chance you were obsessed with one—or both.
The GTI was the benchmark hot hatch, while the Integrale was the rally-bred legend that dominated the world stage. Different personalities, yet both became automotive icons that defined a generation of enthusiasts.
It’s so cool to see a well-sorted GTI 16V again. Seeing one…”

“in 1979 I was working at the old Hughes Aircraft facility in Culver City – right on the ocean where the Spruce Goose was built. We were building the F18 radar there and one of the most experienced radar engineers was Lee Spalding, USC trained, grew up in Gardena and lived in PalosVerdes, He had one of these. It was his daily driver and it had a great deal of miles on it – all original. During the winter he was having trouble with it running – he did all of the work – and we discussed the…”

“This car was in our family from 1987-2001, I restored it for my Dad while going to college, went 10.60’s with a 440 when we had it. Neat to see it again.”

Discoquik commented on 1962 Plymouth Savoy 2-Door Sedan Super Stock Max Wedge 3-Speed
“I used to own this car in the late 80’s early 90’s. the first owner Dave McKenna told me that Chrysler engineers told him that Chrysler used the thinnest gauge metal to stamp out the entire bodies of the Maxwedge cars making them about 400LBS lighter than the production model Savoys. We wighed this car at the race track and it weighed 3250Lbs a little more than our 70 340 Duster. Most people were unaware of this slight of hand. Chevy, Ford and Pontiac weighed 3800-4100Lbs in 62 giving the…”

DVmechanics commented on 1968 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300Ti “El Taxi Perdido”
“This car is fast and we raced against it in LCP in my Datsun 510 with many great memories of running in the top 10 together against the big V8 cars. It will go over 130 as I one time switched the Garmin page to history when he wasn’t looking and it said 132 mph…my 510 was good for 121 WFO”

“The gap between the order date and the serialized date on the Marti report reminds me that Ford workers went on strike in the fall of 1976.
I had factory ordered a new Econoline 150 around the same time as this Bronco and I took delivery in January of 1977. My van was the same Midnight Metallic Blue as this Bronco. A Great color”

“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!”

“Some final hour Sport evolution M3 fun facts.
The sport evolution is the 3rd evolution of the E30 M3 homologated for racing. It was produced for just 3 months in 1990 resulting in 600 models. 500 models were required to evolve a race car at the time. Only 204 Red Sport evos were ever made.
This car is 100% original in terms of parts. The modifications are exactly as it left BMW.
The Sport evo was the only E30 M3 to feature a 2.5 Liter S14 engine making 238 HP.
Some easy to spot visual…”
