“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!!”
“” The interior seats 13 occupants”
One steering and 12 screaming….”
A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“The missile appeared at Earl’s Salvage Yard & Formalwear on a Tuesday morning.
At least that was what Hairless B29 called it when he walked into the Grounds for Divorce and announced that Earl had acquired a rocket.
Angus Hopper continued buttering his toast.
“How big?”
“Three feet, maybe.”
Angus looked up. “That ain’t much of a rocket.”
“It’s streamlined.”
This was apparently sufficient evidence to bring Rex Hall into the investigation. By nine…”

“The Story Here…
As an automotive magazine publisher, editor and motor journalist in the ’80s and ’90s, I was privileged to attend many unique and amazing press functions and receive highly-specialized literature regarding the cars being launched. From the Highlands of Scotland to the South of France. From the US Continental Divide to the jungles and rain forests of Guatemala and Belize. From small back mews of the English Midlands to palatial manor houses in London. What a time it…”

“This jeep has been great to own for over 31 years. I just decided that it is time to move on and find a buyer who will appreciate it and take care of it like I have. It was one of the very last to be built with a 5-speed manual transmission, which makes it a rare find. I welcome any questions that buyers may have. Thank you for your interest.”

rbillinger commented on No Reserve: Original-Owner 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4×4 5-Speed
“That’s legit and 100% original IMHO. Worked at a Schwinn shop as a kid and put together a few of those. A lot of people (cool kids) ditched the front fender. That’s the original seat. Those are the original pedals. This is all recollection but very clear. . They were wheelie machines and no fun whatsoever to get up a hill! An early but awesome memory! GLWTA!”

“I’m so excited! I lost a 1998 c43 sedan in a fire 5 years ago and have told myself to wait for the wagon and I finally have one! Plus it’s my birthday next week!”

Gnomenclature commented on No Reserve: 68k-Kilometer, Japanese-Market 1998 Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG Wagon
“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.”

mbaum commented on 1967 DeTomaso Vallelunga
“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…”

“It has been a genuine privilege to have this extraordinary 113-year-old racing motorcycle on display in my collection. It stands as far more than a rare machine—it is a tangible reminder of the ingenuity, craftsmanship, and determination of the pioneers who built it.
This motorcycle is a testament to what skilled hands, creative minds, and unwavering perseverance could accomplish more than a century ago.
Yet the motorcycle tells only part of the story.
It also pays tribute to the fearless…”

“As the former owner of XS004 and a serial collector of special Fox Body Mustangs, you can’t find many more special than a KB car. If I had the room I’d be going after this under full boost! GLWTA!”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“A 1952 220A Cabriolet was my daily driver in the early 1970s. When decades later I drove past a billboard depicting a painted one on Sunset Blvd, I did a u-turn to see what it was about. It advertised the Hiro Yamagata exhibit at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery running from Sept 13 thru Oct 23, 1994. I was at the opening, chatted with Mr Yamagata, and marveled that I was seeing more 220As in one room than I had seen in my entire life.
I asked him why he chose this car to paint. He replied…”

“This is the car that convinced me just why fulvias were rally champions. Having known the owner for a while you can rest assured that this particular example was treated with both love and care.
Having had a chance to drive it down a curvy road or two, it’s mechanically perfect and just a hoot to drive as well.
The gorgeous color doesn’t hurt either.”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“It’s been years, but I saw a similar one in Madison, WI. The owner and buddy drove up from the Chicago area – a 2 hour interstate highway drive. They had leather goggles and huge smiles behind the little windscreens. The Ferrari was specked with bugs and road dirt and looked utterly amazing. What a day for those guys. A pleasure for the show attendees as well. Someone is going to have fun with this 212 beauty. Let ‘er rip!
I was thinking about the Chicago guys trip up the interstate. There…”

“Beautiful spyder! These are the best kept secret of the modern Porsche world. For those seeking a manual, 8k redline 4 liter naturally aspirated roaster that is the right size, and rare, look no further. As a fellow 718 Spyder owner, I feel these cars were a love letter to all things we love about Porsches.. GLWA!”

“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…”
