    “I own an’07 Miata. Nothing goes wrong. Maintenance is inexpensive. It’s a total blast to drive top down. New owner here is gonna be happy with the value he/she gets for the $ spent. These are simply GREAT vehicles. GLWTA”

    “Driver & passenger sound like two kids in a candy store – can’t blame them.
    Awesome ride to take to a track on weekends & I’d do school drop off during the week.”

    “@68Vet
    Baja California and back to Sacramento in a slant six Dart? That is an absolute adventure and proof positive that these cars were built for exactly that kind of journey. No drama, no breakdowns, just mile after mile of honest reliable transportation through some pretty unforgiving terrain. That slant six was one of the toughest engines ever bolted into an American car and your story is a perfect reminder of that.
    Thank you for sharing that memory and for the kind words. That is…”

    “Right after getting out of the Army I sold cars at a Baltimore dealership. First car I ever sold was a beige 65 Impala. These cars had beautiful lines and looked great then and still do!”

    “I have a 1999/2000 two door TDI in the same color that I purchased new. 349K miles and still going. Would so love to have this R32 sitting next to it. Best of lusk to the new owner
    Have Fun,
    BillA.”

    “I love the early SHOs and had an 89, purchased in 92 while a young engineer at Ford. The car enthusiasts either had SHOs, fox body Mustangs or a Porsche (if you were willing to take the abuse from the neanderthal managers who were “only buy Ford” zealots). Once the first year gremlins were sorted, they were reliable (for a Ford) and perhaps the best all purpose sport sedan of the time. I love that Yamaha power plant and it is bulletproof, making sweet sweet sounds all the way to the little…”

    “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!”

    “My best friend has his dad’s 240Z in this color combo. His dad died when he was young and he’s dreamt of getting it out of the garage, rust repaired, and running since. Sadly I’m not sure that day will ever come. This one… this is just fantastic. Wish he could have one go in his dad’s car… one day!
    Either way… @raffi is a top person and seller! Best of luck to the future buyer! The car will be delivered as promised.”

    “The German language 1989 color info brochure from Porsche lists lachsilbermetallic as color code Z9. I only see three other US market ’89s in this color, would argue that it’s more than 3 paint cans rare, per Rennbow.”

    “@volvoracer9 – That is an excellent question. The guy who created this went to great lengths to make it accurate. As far as I have found, everything is correct except the brakes/wheels/hubs. A true MC850 will have 4 bolt wheels and hubs with a different front brake caliper. I put on adjustable Spax shocks but the original Koni shocks come with it. Engine and head are correct for MC850 as is the entire interior including the rear seat which is basically cushions on top of a storage bin. Club…”

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

    “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…”
