    “I own the same car, even down to the 1592 twin cam and automatic transmission. It was built 6,028 cars later than this one, currently has 178,408 miles, and is our daily driver. I got it from the original owner’s family, and am technically the 4th caretaker. Since I also specialize in Fiats, I have serviced it mostly from new.
    We take it on club tours, and it’s comfortable at an indicated 70+ mph. In 2024 we won worst in class at the concours d’lemons in Seaside California, and last year we…”

    “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.”

    “Taking quiet satisfaction that, in this era of automotive touchscreen-maxing, “crank windows” is a noteworthy feature that adds value.”

    “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…”

    “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…”

    “Art on wheels – no wonder Enzo was so smitten….
    As a kid, RW 77 was frequently parked next to my mum’s Healey 3000 outside the Horse & Groom in Alresford, Hants and thiks early fascination with the E was firmly planted in this kid’s brain. Subsequent personal involvement with John Coombs’ lightweight E Types at Goodwood only served to deepen the lifelong fascination and appreciation of these automotive masterpieces. This is a stellar example and you cannot replace history….”

    “May be the best car Ford ever made. My son had one, and it was bullet proof, as well as comfortable. Nice and simple to, you can actually see the alternator, and belts. Sorry they don’t make them like this anymore. Just and Old Geezer remembering the Good Old Days.”

    “I was talking with a gentleman the other day about the GTS and we ended up swapping stories about some of the cars we’ve owned. One that came up was my 2011 911 Carrera GTS. Really nice example — black, PDK, factory AeroKit — but it was full leather everywhere with zero Alcantara.
    He made a great point that stuck with me. what really defines the GTS driving experience is the Alcantara. It’s one of those subtle things you don’t fully appreciate until you get back into a properly…”

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”
