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

    “Jan 1970: We shuttled 20 new imported cars from the dealership in Farmington CT to display at the car show in the Hartford Armory, and all the keys just got tossed in a basket.
    During the show, I pocketed two sets… a silver Mangusta and a white Miura.
    Sunday night we ferried the cars back, and I had dibs on the coolest ones! I drove both “the long way”, up and over Avon mountain on backroads I knew well… leaving lifelong impressions on 20-year-old me. Each was unique, challenging, and…”

    “You know how National Geographic will publish pictures of some crazy animal they found umpteen million feet under the sea that is amazingly cool and unlike anything you could have imagined? This Tatra is kind of like that… only better.”

    “As a longtime rally/driving tour enthusiast, I salivate thinking how perfect this 911 would be for some of the adventures I go on. A typical rally year for me is over 35k miles and the key is something that is a reliable workhorse, comfy on long transit miles (ie interstate travel), fun on the backroads (an absolute must), and starts every time with no hesitation.
    This G50 Carrera would be PERFECT for that. Is it the ideal aesthetics that you would want? Impossible as each person has…”

    “Very excited. I have been looking for a long time, and plan to use it as a daily driver as well as occasional track use. So the somewhat odd spec is perfect for my intended use. I am far from being a professional driver, so I plan to enjoy this for many years.”

    “What a priceless pair of twins. As the original owner of a 1970 Triumph Bonneville, I can fully appreciate this small, but wonderful example of Triumph history. My 1970 Bonneville was still in the wooden shopping crate when I picked it.ip at the shipping dock. It was sent to me unassembled and unpreped for retail delivery. My dealer was so busy with sales and deliveries in 1970, he did not have time or staff to open the crate, assemble and prep my bike and fabricrate a new shipping crate. I…”

    “I remember seeing these all over the car magazines in the 60’s and 70’s. I need to go into my garage and see how much room I can create!!! This will be a great car if done right. GLWTA!!”

    “I absolutely LOVE photo #321: the huge stack of renewal stickers! Most of us peel them off once a stack of five or so piles up, but to leave them all on there for so many years took dedication and a degree of skill.
    This is a such a cool package, even without the amazing ownership history. Only things I’d do is get the A/C working, and replace that modern CD player with something vintage or at least vintage looking.”

    “This Car and Driver segment was significantly developed at the 928 Press Launch which was held at the Le Mas D’ Artigny Luxury hotel In St. Paul, France in February and March of 1977. Automotive journalists from around the world attended to experience the cars in person and on local roads. There were 12 cars prepared for this event known as “Press Cars” and these are very unusual and unique iterations of the 928. They carry the first full 10 digit 928 VIN numbers produced. These cars were…”

    “While hitchhiking to the 1966 Comblain Latour Jazz Festival I got stranded somewere south of Liege.It was a wet and heazy night.In the far distance under the orange light of a lonely streetlamp I noticed a highly unfamiliar shape.It looked like some kind of alien spacecraft.As I got nearer I saw that it wasn’t a space vehicle,but a road car of a type I didn’t know it existed,had never seen before,and for that matter have never seen again,save for some pictures.It was a Bizzarini like the one…”

    CarKoen commented on 1968 Bizzarrini 5300 GT America

    “Folks, the Gen 5 Viper was the epitome of everything great with cars. Manual transmission, rear wheel drive, hydraulic steering, and beautiful art inside and out with modern day technology. They will never make cars like this again and nothing made right now even matches the visceral feel of this. When you have mass produced 911s going for 200-500k, it’s amazing that this is not going for more than 500k. Those cars are so boring compared to this!”

    “What an extraordinary find!
    That toothy front may well have inspired this 1955 Motorama Dream Car:

    And there is a hint of Karmann-Ghia coupe in the roofline and rear haunches, pic #5.”

    “Thanks P 38. I went to college driving a new R1 with air-conditioning. And automatic. I dated.my wife in a red Avanti. Married in 1965 and sold the Avanti get a car with a bench seat for our daughter’ s car seat. I have known where my original car is but have tried unsuccessfully for 30 years to buy it. When this car came along, I said what the heck. I’m excited to have a supercharged car and relieve some old memories. That is a lot of what the old car hobby is about.”

    “I grew up in my family’s Pontiac dealership that opened in 1967. Crazy about high performance Firebirds & GTOs, especially the rare & special round port cars. From RAII in 1968 (356 cars), RAIV in 68 & 69 (1808 cars), 455 H.O. in 71 & 72 (5037 cars) and the last of the Mohicans, SD-455 in 73 & 74 (1296 cars). With over 4000 Pontiac dealerships back then most never acquired a single super duty during the two years of production. They were insanely hard to get. Our store…”
