“It’s nice seeing one of these pop up that was actually raced! So many of these factory race cars (from every manufacturer) end up sitting in a collection, never turning a single revolution in anger.
Awesome Camaro!”

“As the builder of this immaculate machine I will answer some of the questions that have been posted .
I’m the Genius that installed the Palmini floor pan on the floor pan . It was and still common to mount the fuel tank in this location . on this paticular kart with three engines there is no room for a seat back tank .
all of the compoenants are original , I spent a lot of time and money aquiring all the Palmini , Hands and Van Tech parts to build this machine
All three engines are original…”

“My Dad and I were at our local Ford dealer buying yet another LTD for family use back in the day. Our sales guy was working on my Dad’s most recent offer (a little game they played). A car carrier truck pulled up front at the dealership and our salesman got all crazy. He said his new ’71 Mach 1 was on the truck and would we mind if he took a minute to get it on the ground. Dad said sure and we all went out to see a very red Mach 1. They got it off the truck and the new owner was just giddy with…”

“Quick comment here! See the white sticker on the bottom corner of the windshield on driver’s side? This is the genuine RCA sticker for parking lot, when Pat Ieraci owned this Volvo since it was new. Pat Ieraci was the influence with RCA to sign Jefferson Airplane. I emailed with (the late) Ieraci’s daughter. She remembered the Volvo with fondness and said her father dearly loved the car. We owned the Volvo and sold it to the present owner. My husband is a life-long master mechanic and…”

“Thanks everyone I’m so happy. This has been my dream car since I first saw one on the Dallas North Tollway back in 1994. I’ve spent decades trying to find the right one. Thanks everyone for bidding and the great sportsmanship. This is a wonderful community!”

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

“Reviewing the Marti Report on this beautiful F250 it appears that Teague Ford ordered it without a rear bumper. That was typical with Ford dealers in rural eastern Washington areas like Walla Walla. The factory installed rear bumpers offered by Ford at the time were considered inadequate for the kind of heavy duty usage intended by many customers – who were often farmers. Most often dealers in the area ordered pickups without rear bumpers to allow customers to select their preferred style from…”

“I first met the owner, and viewed this Sprint over a decade ago at Concorso Italiano, and have driven with them in Provence. It’s exemplary of the great Giulietta sport touring experience. I didn’t expect the seller to ever let it go. I suspect he’s got something really special lined up as replacement.”

“That Sport Top is an incredibly rare accessory. Not many were sold and few have survived in good condition. I’ve only seen one other intact one. The Model Prefix indicates it was built as a Utility trimmed Travel Top but somewhere along the line, the bulkhead and Sport Top were added. I wonder if it was the original owner. Interesting 800!”

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

“For those asking: it will be back close to home. I’m in the Virginia Beach area so about 2 hours from Richmond where the original owner/builder was.
I joined JUST to bid on this car. It’s been my favorite build of all time since I saw it 10+ years ago. Once I saw it was for sale I knew I had to take a shot at it.
So unbelievably happy that I won!”

“One of the most underrated cool muscle cars of the early 70’s. Love the hump fender AMX’s. GLWTA.”

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

“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”

2002WS6 commented on 1993 Honda Civic Del Sol Si 5-Speed

“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.”
