“If you haven’t ever heard an F355 with a Tubi exhaust in a nice decently long tunnel run, you should. The 355’s have a Flat plane crankshaft, and with a Tubi Exhaust has a Formula 1 sound… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jchd1Sj6PsM If you are in a hurry, you can start at 30 seconds. If the link does not work you can go to Youtube and search for “Ferrari F355 tunnel run” (by Fast Terrific) Not many cars can give you goosebumps when you hear them, this one does.”

“Fun reading the comments here. I’ve owned many 99s over the years. My first car was a Topaz Yellow ‘76 GL 4 door with 90k miles that I bought in 1980 from my local Saab dealership, Reinertsen Motors. It was $3000, but I traded in my 1 year old Motobecane moped, so net cash was $2400 (plus tax). I later traded that 99 at Reinertsen Motors for a ‘74 Carolina Blue 99 LE like this one because I preferred the utility of the hatchback and it looked more up to date at the time as the 900 was…”

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

“We currently have a 250 SWB in our care that was built in direct collaboration with the exceptional team at GTO Engineering. Prior to joining Mohr Imports, I had the privilege of running GTO Engineering’s Los Angeles operation for several years and visited both the GTO House and restoration facility on multiple occasions.
I can’t say enough positive things about the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and passion that goes into these cars. Having had the opportunity to work alongside both…”

“Such great trucks, went a decade with minimal styling updates. And the Vortec Chevy 454 is a LEGEND! And if it is really as clean as it appears, someone is going to get an awesome ride. Only thing it is missing from my ideal 3/4 Suburban build sheet would be barn doors in back, but the tailgate is what makes pregaming work too.”

“Rare piece: Only 990 Ranchero Deluxe w/ bucket seats were built for MY 1965; just 235 were made in MY ’64.

“Pininfarina was truly on a roll with these mid to late ’60s Ferrari cars. Some of most beautiful designs ever penned, IMHO. The blue is a formidable statement proving the simple elegance of the design. For bigger drivers (he said looking in the mirror) this might be the most comfortable Ferrari ever built. GLWTA!”

“I had an HF back when new. Loved it. The gas mileage and reliability of these sought after economy cars is incredible. This Cali car looks fantastic and a lucky winner will smile on each shift all while passing the pumps and motoring on! Enjoy”

“When my Family was on a vacation in Hawaii back in 1977 we had the Ford version of this wagon finished in an emerald green. It was a tank of a car but did drive nicely and got us around Oahu in comfort. My parents owned a 1973 Ford Thunderbird with the same 460ci V8. I see some of the same or similar interior parts on this wagon as well. Very nice condition Colony Park Wagon for its age!
GLWTA 👍”

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

“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…”

“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!!”

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

“In August 1981 at the Laguna Seca raceway, Briggs Cunningham was the guest of honor. He brought a good number of the original race cars to the track for that weekend and invited all the drivers and mechanics that had driven for him over the years for a weekend reunion. My father was one of those drivers. He and I rode our motorcycles from the Midwest out to California, timing it so that he could be there for the commemorative weekend. Mr. Cunningham assigned the C4 roadster to Fred Wacker to be…”

“The Individual Velvet Blue pops with the Gold wheels! These cars are like shifter karts with doors. People that know, will know! I’m almost to the break in service on mine. Can’t wait for the rest of the power to be unleashed!! Like it needs more!! Many smiles per mile!”

“When you are doing one of these cars, NEVER bond the bare steel cage without replacing the zinc chromate primer. That is a valid and strong corrosion inhibitor, used in aviation since the 1930’s. Today the cheap and easy way is to go to Aircraft Spuce and order the primer in rattlecan, but for a restoration of a C2 coupe, there is a hundred year upgrade. Consolidated Coatings of Riverside CA makes aircraft polyurethane in “yellow zinc” and “green zinc” colors for WWII aircraft restoration.…”
