“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 👍”

“@ix_xi
As a TCR car homologated by the FIA for championships around the world, “it’s mandatory to use Racing Certified TCR fuel with at least 98RON Unleaded.”
So safe to say you will be fine if you use 98 octane unleaded fuel which is generally available at the track or from any respected vendor.”

“Wow, what a stance on this spectacular F100 bumpside 4×4. The two-tone color scheme is awesome! Interior is nice and the engine is clean. Truly a cool build here!”

“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”

“Here is some history on the Grand Prix of America race car
This car originates from Grand Prix of America (GPA), an ambitious early 1970s motorsports venture conceived and executed by the DeLorean brothers in Troy, Michigan. Developed in Detroit with race engineering intent, GPA sought to deliver an authentic Grand Prix style driving experience to the public through purpose built single seaters and permanent road courses—establishing a direct lineage to later attractions such as Malibu…”

“In my dad’s early car-guy days he had six MGBs in a row. He would tinker with each then move them along to fund the next project. Then later in (my) early car-guy days we heard of a 1980 Limited Edition barnfind that was available nearby. It was the only iteration of the MGB that my dad had yet to own. Once we brought it home, I learned some things on it like how to bleed the brakes and clutch, make minor metal repairs, detailing tips/tricks, and most importantly how to drive a manual…”

“Was fortunate enough to see the first Spyker offering I think in 2001 at the Geneva auto show, while visiting my brother in Suisse. The aeronautical touches including the gear shift were amazing. This is an awesome opportunity for some lucky future custodian”

“That fuse panel is as good as it gets for 48 years old, no wiring hacks, clean relay blocks, no signs of burnt fuse terminals. And all the fuse positions have the correct fuse in them, and fuse 13 is supposed to be empty. Gotta love the hand-painted stripes on many of the wires, these early cars are full of little easter eggs like that.
Definitely worth the hassle of getting the pics to instill bidder confidence!”

“Behold the magic of BaT:
We’ve got what’s likely the nicest ‘Wagon Queen Family Truckster’ replica ever made currently available and now we’ve got an extremely close-enough example of what Clark W. Griswold traded-in at Lou Glutz Motors with this ‘70 Vista Cruiser.

“Tip..!
The person who wins this auction and also every non bidder / winner genuinely interested in important car history should buy the 1990 book “Hans Ledwinka, Seine autos sein leben”. Currently there is one offered on the internet at only 173 us.Even though it is in german,the pictures and technical drawings tell an interesting story. I myself triggered by this auction got the book out of my library just now and even got a bit nostalgic realising that its 60 plus year ago on a hitchhike…”

“Anyone who follows Alfaholics’ work and is a Spider / Duetto fan knows this car as Alfa royalty. Fair amount of work to drop a Busso V6 in, and then later convert from right to left hand drive…”
