“My son was racing our Datsun roadster in D Production one of the times Paul ran in the same class at Daytona. He wandered up to our crew working on our roadsturd. His crew had sent him to borrow a multimeter. He would just show up and pay the late regristration fees so everyones crew wouldn’t be packed with “crew” there just to catch a look at him as a star. I think he enjoyed just being one of us club racers. Very pleasant to talk to. He wasn’t in a hurry to get back to his crew who might have…”

“A Calypso Green with black cloth notch with off-road H pipe and Flowmasters. Damn near Fox body perfection! At least in more temperate climates. ;-)”

“One of my all time favorite cars! I had two kids and one on the way. At the time minivans were the big thing, SUVs hadn’t replaced them yet. I couldn’t afford a minivan, but could afford almost this exact car, then 10 years old.
Those kids were 5 and 3 at the time, but they still remember the car, and watching The Iron Giant with my wife at an Indiana drive in with pizza and popcorn. The way back seat held all of us comfortably on a rainy summer night. I knew even then it was going to…”

“I owned SN 5077 many years ago. The 4-liter engine pulls like a locomotive. There is comfortable seating for 4 adults. I think it is the best of the 2+2 classic Ferraris. You will never regret owning it. – Keith Martin”

“This Montrealer is visiting LA for the weekend.
I visited the Peterson Museum yesterday, including the Vault … what a treat for this layman to see so many spectacular “automobiles” in 1 place!
This Rolls would be perfectly suited there.
@Dollycat3, cheers back …with a fine cup of British tea for this gem.”

“I have an extensive amount of hands on detailing and reconditioning experience with the W126 model over the past 25 plus years, and its so nice to see such a well preserved low mileage example. This is such a period cool color combination, and the brown leather is so clean and well preserved !!!
I would LOVE to personally own a car like this, but I would probably double the mileage within the first year if I did. Such a great driving car, and in my opinion the W126 is way up high at the top…”

“GM should bring back the S-10! I had a 92′ and put 435,000 miles on it. Same engine as this one. Parts were cheap and they were easy to work on.”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“I had a new Pinto and within a year I found a deal on a proto turbocharger set-up from a well-known Detroit area tuner. It was comparatively crude to this one without an intercooler and lots of lag. But once it spooled up, it was pretty impressive. I recall keeping pace with a 340 Duster in 2nd and 3rd gear which had the other driver wondering “WTF?!” But the tubing to the intake was a long way from the relocated carburetor and in cold weather it was really hard to start because that long…”

“When I was about 12 years old, my Mom’s cousin had one of these. He would load me, my brother, and two other younger cousins in the back with the jumper seats in the closed position. As he fishtailed down the road, the four of us would slide around on that metal flooring – back and forth, back and forth smashing into each other and the sides. Laughing all the way!!!!!!!! Probably not the safest thing to do, but we survived. – GLWA”

“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!”

“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!”

“In 1967, my dad informed me that he had purchased, with my savings, 1960 Falcon with 60K miles for $325.00.
While it would not have been my choice, I was excited to enter the world of independence from walking, bicycling and public transportation.
The 144 ci engine didn’t last long with my heavy foot and the constant diet of re-refined oil I fed it from our local Site gas station.
I found a 260 at the junk yard and that was a great improvement.
The original radiator did not like the 260, so…”
