Yesterday’s comments of note You Should Know

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

“The original owner of this car was a friend of mine and I can vouch that this car is everything it is claimed to be. John was a lifetime “collector” and over the years he bought a number of brand new vehicles, drove them home from the dealer, and never drove them again. For him, it was all about “having”. When he was a youngster in the 70’s and 80’s, he was well known in Studebaker circles for his cross-country road trips in his fleet Studebaker Diesel trucks.
One very minor correction..…”

“I see something like this and am reminded of the “ad specials” that were ordered for the newspaper ad wars for the lowest price on a given model to create showroom traffic. This no option car would’ve been a typical ad special in a metro dealership. I’m reminded of a tan (band aid color) new 76 Granada at the Ford dealership I worked at. Brand new advertised for $3999.00. A true “5 tires 2 keys and a heater” car. No power steering, radio delete, vinyl bench seat 3 speed column shift…”

“The Amazon … Volvo ran ads on TV showing this model driving down a dirt road at about 20 mph. The driver jams the transmission in REVERSE and floors the throttle – the cars rear wheels start spinning backwards and the car is sliding forward … yeah the 122s is tough.”

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

“FAC’s faced the worst survival rate of any US aviators stationed in SE Asia. The job required amazing feats of flight on a daily basis. They had to manage a bank of radios to simultaneously coordinate and communicate with the ground troops they supported, the air assets that delivered ordnance and the headquarters that authorized the strikes. The marker rockets they laid down showed the fighter bombers where to hit, usually perilously close to our troops fighting for their lives. Any…”

“I remember John racing a Tiga back in the 80’s! I’ve been running S2’s for over 40 years. This is a beautiful car, and I hope who every is lucky enough to win this car will come out and run with us. The Sports2000na club is running strong, check out our website to see the 2026 schedule. One of our feature races in 2026 is at Indy with SVRA in June. We will have a least 30 S2s show up for Indy. It’s a great group, close racing, a lot of fun. Don’t let this ” piece of Automotive History”…”

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

“Nobody ever accused Gus Godley of being a visionary.
In 1959, Gus was a janitor at Chrysler’s Highland Park headquarters, a long way from Fort Stockton, Texas, where common sense was considered a civic virtue and automobiles were generally expected to resemble automobiles. He swept floors, emptied wastebaskets, and consumed enough Folgers to keep a small freight train running on schedule.
One rainy Tuesday morning, Gus was cleaning the Plymouth Design Studio before the stylists arrived.…”

“I think adding the Buick rally wheels was a great choice, especially with the white wall tires. They spice it up a bit without being obnoxious. I imagine that pulling the car cover over this beast would be quite a workout. For me, the only wagon more desirable than this would be a 1968 Olds Vista Cruiser.”

“A V10 Gated Gallardo is a big 12 year old goal for me to own. 12 year old me used to see the Gallardo all the time before the Huracan existed when I was in high school. No newer V10 baby Lambo can replace the Gallardo for being gated and better looking with age. GLWS on this Rosso Italian beauty.”

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

“I was building a large garage for a customer back in ‘87 or ‘88. I was just finishing up the lighting and up pulls an enclosed transport.
The driver opens the doors and proceeds to offload a brand new GNX and a Turbo TA.
They still sit in that garage to this day.”

“Corvettes, Testarossas, 911s… no… this is my exotic dream car… and that colour! Looks like an excellent body restoration. And it is in my motherland!”
