“Getting close now!
We told you about Bill’s event raising money for Special Olympics. It’s called All Italian Day and it’s October 11th this year (https://www.alfaromeoassociation.org/content.aspx?page_id=4091&club_id=233974&item_id=2902395).
For several years we designed the t-shirt for the event. One of the last years I did the design, I felt we had to honor Bill and this wonderful car.
One of the amazing ARA members, still has a new XL shirt and is willing to gift it to…”

“Honored to be the next caretaker of this incredible M3. Huge thanks to the seller for the thorough presentation and to everyone in the comments who shared their knowledge. I’ve wanted the right E46 M3 for a long time, and I’m excited this Laguna Seca Blue example will be joining my garage. It will be well cared for and enjoyed. Thanks again!”

DailyDrivenPorsche commented on 2001 BMW M3 Coupe 6-Speed

“Can’t believe the options on this one, it has factory Recaros before the ‘is’ was a thing. Plus the sport wheel, sunroof, and it’s in one of the best blues that BMW put on their in the 70s.
This is a neat e21!”

“The CKD cars assembled in Belgium were for tax purposes. The cars were shipped “body in white” with the drivetrain out of the car and no interior trim installed. Final assembly and paint were done in Belgium and avoided import taxes somewhere around 30%.
While no production records from Belgium have survived, the TR Registry has obtained shipping manifests that lists vin numbers and engine serial numbers along with the dates they went. As the cars were shipped to Belgium in small…”

“What an auction. This car was purchased by my grandfather from the AE collection years back, then sold to our neighbor when he passed. The family is excited to have it back!!!”

“Q: How big of an engine can you fit in a G body 911?
A: Yes”

66GTFB commented on No Reserve: Mid-Engined, Cadillac V8-Powered 1981 Porsche 911SC Targa

“When these were first introduced into the UK in late 1974 Porsche GB Ltd would not allow anyone to test drive one without first having been driven by and vetted by 11 time Le Mans competitor and race driver Nick Faure. Nick is known as Mr. Porsche and is a guru of the marque. (As an aside, Nick co-drove my March BMW M1 Group 5 race car in the 1980s and came in from practice laps ashen faced and pronounced it the scariest car he had ever driven). An interesting and entertaining drive report can…”

My dad is in 24 hrs care.
What’s one last ride worth?”

“Got my drivers license when my dad bought one of these in 1963 used. I never got a ticket or bent it, but saw the speedo tick 130 on the Medford viaduct one Sunday morning early, lifters clattering away when I reached the end! Fun car in the day!”

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

“It’s incredible to see the one-year only chromed exhaust extensions! They were unique to 1975 Formulas and 400-powered Trans Ams.
For record, the chromed splitters, which were introduced on the 1974 GTO were included with the Trans Am’s “455 HO” package introduced in midyear 1975 and used throughout the remainder of the 1970s and into the 1980s.”

RockyRotella commented on 10k-Mile 1975 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

“When I was 17 my best friend bought almost this same car – his was actually a ‘67 but they look the same to me. At the time it was an 8 year old used car, bought for $800
What a great car that was! Some of my favorite memories are cruising with my best friend in the Cadillac listening to Led Zeppelin. A true Party Barge! He passed away last year, still my best friend. Thanks for the memories”

“I had to give up my old track day 911 I bought many years ago at 19. I promised myself that one day I would find a way to fill that void. I guess today’s that day.
Thanks everyone. We had a great time.”

“Hello Fellow Pantera Fans!
Welcome to the auction for my buddy Jim’s killer ’72 Pantera, chassis #4013. Jim had been looking for a Pantera for a long time, and with my history of owning and restoring many over the years, I was helping in that search. So when this one came up we reviewed it and agreed it was the one he should buy.
Of course, Jim is a perfectionist and loves to drive (usually quite fast!) so 4013, already and incredibly well sorted car, went through a very thorough…”

CC350 commented on Jim Farley’s 1972 DeTomaso Pantera

“Great project – I would finish it as a road racer, preferably with a legal registration.
I remember Dave Sturdevant from when I was involved with race cars, but it was a casual nod in the pits type of thing.
This reminds me of a similar build that someone brought to the SCCA Runoffs at Road Atlanta in the late 80s. It ran in GT 4 or 5 and had a super complex suspension worked out in it. The party trick that they would do in the pits was to set it up off the ground on only three jack…”

“This car brings back mixed memories, let me explain. I had heard about the new Dodge Daytona coming out so I went to the Dodge dealer to check them out. They had two on the lot, a blue non turbo version and a beautiful black turbo Z. I drove both and fell in love with the turbo Z. Of course I did! I was 19 years old and the car was pretty quick. The salesman told me that I didn’t qualify for the turbo financially, but he could do the non turbo. I had no interest. I told him if I couldn’t…”
