    “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”

    “@RTCH having worked at David Hobbs Honda in 2000, when they debuted in the US. Apparently, at least for the initial wave or first year, dealerships had the option having all their S2000s fully equipped with aero accessories or non of them equipped. Not sure how long that lasted, but Hobbs had all the initial S2000s equipped. When the first ones arrived at the dealership everything came to a halt, all employees came outside to gawk while David and Greg inspected and tested them for about 30…”

    “My parents bought a white 65 Notch in the mid 70s from people that had toured Europe in it. It was the car I finally passed my fourth driver license test in . I know , go ahead and lol. Dad made me take the 1st in a 2wd, straight six, three on the tree suburban with no power steering. 2nd in a 2wd , 302 v8 IH Scout with the stiff lurchy clutch that gave you the Jimmy leg. Neither one worked well for a skinny 16 year old. 3rd didn’t leave the DMV because I “didn’t adjust the mirrors” , after…”

    “I ordered one of these, a British Racing Green unit in NYC and put $25 down on it. It was priced at $6641.00. I didn’t inherit any money when I turned 21 like I told the dealer I might and had to release it to sell to someone else. It did show up on the showroom floor and that was the last time I saw it. I later converted the front of my MGA to look like a cobra… and then changed it back when I made it my first race car… This was in 1965.”

    “@jtzer I was the founder of Classic Promenade and sold the dealership to two young, smart and hard-working couples on June 30th. I completely inspected this Bentley and drove it extensively in June, even in the 100 plus F temperatures in Phoenix. (I’m a senior RROC and concours judge). It essentially drives as a new S1 Continental. I am now in Lucerne, Switzerland driving our R-Type Mulliner Lightweight Saloon for two months from Ireland to Tuscany and back. Cheers and best of luck to the…”

    “Awesome! Looking forward to it. Sadly, my wife passed away a couple of weeks ago from a long fight with breast cancer. I have two 1984 533i’s one is a parts car, the other is a work in progress, and I have spent so much time and money working on it that I simply don’t want the hassle any longer. I have always wanted the original M5, and my wife would be happy that I made that dream a reality. So looking forward to it!!”

    “The rarity of the M81 McLaren Mustang DSO kit cannot be overstated. Maybe 20 were made in addition to the 10 M81 McLaren Mustang prototypes. Of the DSOs on the road, I know of maybe 5. I own one which is currently on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Added note, the rear GT Enduro spoiler is even more rare.”

    “Why did the manufacturers stop painting cars like this everything is white silver or some gray color and black. I like the nostalgia this color brings back GLWTA”

    “This is Gene Winfield and VooDoo Larry quality imo. I like how there is just enough chrome trim left on the beltline, rear valance, and bumpers. With it being nosed, decked, shaved door handles, and the sectioned trunk lid. That and the frenching of the headlights and taillights. Leaves just the right amount of chrome.
    The interior is super clean, the center console around the shifter, and the shifter itself reminds me of a mid 70s Camaro or Firebird.
    In pic 27 in the Engine bay, you can…”

    “I was 7 years old when this body style came out in 81. Was begging my dad at the time to trade in his 80 Cutlass Supreme for the newer body style cause this looked so aerodynamic. 45 years later and this body style still looks very attractive to me. Curious to see what this beauty goes for.”

    “Wow !! Brings back wonderful memories as I learned how to drive on my Dad’s ‘60 Bonneville convertible ..He was a “car guy”having several Chrysler letter cars before I talked him into the Bonneville. Our neighbor had a ‘59 Bonneville convertible and he took me for a ride on a warm summer night with the top down …When he hit the gas and I heard that VROOOM of the carbs opening I was smitten !!
    He told my Dad to make sure he ordered the Tri/Power option to match the power of his…”

    “Many years ago i used to take quite a few road trips and generally would find any excuse i could make up just to do so . There was always a destination , but the journey was the reason , just a love of being on the open road and feeling young and unencumbered . I always used to have my “Road Trip” tape which i had previously recorded and was quite long and had a wide variety of music to listen to on the road but the same song , first up on the tape , “Vehicle” by The Ides of March always…”

    “@Treetrimmer is spot-on. Ford’s own memos state that the purpose of this group of these GTs was not to introduce the Mustang, but to introduce the first-ever offering of the availability of the GT Package. That’s why the 60 cars were not 1964 1/2 models. They were 1965 models because that’s the year in which the GT Package was first offered.
    In reference to a different comment, comparing them to pace cars, etc. reveals they are not so alike for several reasons. Mainly, the introduction…”

    “The 4.08 rear end coupled with the 5 speed ZF makes any Pagoda 230,250,280 a sports car with far better acceleration, and also legs for the highway without the typical high revs of the 4 speeds. A 4.08 could not work in a 4 speed, since with even their 3.xx rear ends they are spinning to fast for highway speeds.”

    “I was a young car-crazed teen and recall when the Monza came out for the 1975 model year. I thought it was an awesome looking design. When this Mirage package was announced I was really excited! Yeah, it was just a 305, but it was all about the styling for me. Really neat to see one here on BaT!”
