“I have learned Ford did offer a 427ci Auto Trans 1968 Cougar but soon after they replaced that engine with the 428ci Cobra Jet. Wow… this is huge! What a find to locate it here. Some lucky bidder will get a vary rare beautiful automobile.”

“Thanks gang! A bit numb…
Promise to take great care of it. Lots of VW in my past but I won’t bore you other than to say this one wraps them all into one, and erases all regret for every sale (including my last…a Corrado in ‘04)
To all the caretakers and @seller…Thank You!”

“My Dad had a ‘61 in this color and with roof rack. VW advertised they would float. I was 15 and a friend and I tried to drive it in a local reservoir that was just being impounded. It did float but wouldn’t steer and bogged down due to back pressure. Crawled out window and pushed it back to shore. Cranked it watching pea shooters squirt water. It cranked up. We drove it until the floorboards were dry. Did not tell Dad until 10 years later. He couldn’t kill me then, I had kids of my own”

Dbalfisto commented on 1961 Volkswagen Beetle Deluxe

“Styling of this era Accord still looks fresh to my eyes. If it ends up on display at a Honda dealer showroom, will it make customers think, “God, new cars sure are ugly now.” But then again, I may be biased. My daily drivers are 35-year old Hondas.”

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

“My father was born in 1936. He joined the Navy and became an engineer. He is the most talented and gifted man I have ever met. He did tons of work on cars for himself, fellow Navy-men, and friends or family. He is struggling with dementia. Some days are hard. I visited him yesterday, and I showed him this ad. Just by pictures he called out the heads and different motor. The intake. He commented on reading about, back in the day, the stainless steel 36′ Fords that were made. He pointed out the…”

“When I first started playing with Gran Turismo, there were no Porsches. Thankfully, legally these aren’t. Voila! I spent countless hours hotlapping the Nordschleife in one of these rare beasts. Great to see one here.”

“One of the best daily drivers of all time. A wagon with a supercharged v8. The six-speed manual is the cherry on top. GLWTA!”

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

“I would have seen this car take pole Vancouver Indy. Never missed a day of Indy CART when we had the series in Vancouver. What experiences! Those of us that are hardcore racing fans should count ourselves lucky to see have these cars run. I fear for open wheel racing with the growth of hybrid/EV. You just cannot substitute internal combustion and the screaming revs , the smells, the vibrations deep in your chest .
Magnificent car, this example. And the absolute top of the heap for its…”

Tobyallen commented on Ex–Jacques Villeneuve 1995 Reynard-Ford Cosworth 95I

“Jacques Villeneuve is from my home province of Quebec and is a legend in these parts for having won the F1 Championship in ’97.
His father was Gilles, was one of the most electrifying F1 drivers ever. 1982 R.I.P.”

JamesTH commented on No Reserve: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Project

“I drove one of these on the Lotus Factory test track, a phenomenal car. This has the touring suspension which makes it a nice daily driver. I did not drive an Emira with the sport suspension but from what I hear it is still very streetable. I have a friend with an Emira so far the only repairs are software updates.”

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

“10 original cheetahs completed by Bill Thomas. 7 comp, 3 street. There is one untouched totally unrestored survivor from that original production run, and it is in my collection. The King Cheetah street car here has a very unique history and is obviously extremely well preserved as well. Good luck!”

CC350 commented on 1966 Bill Thomas Cheetah Coupe

“When I first got the car, I was always under the hood or underneath the car, learning as I went, and it became the car my girlfriend — now my wife — and I took everywhere. A lot of great memories were made.
Life moved on, and the car ended up parked for close to four decades. Recently we decided to bring it back to life, get it running again, and return it to a period correct state. It’s been rewarding to hear it fire up and drive it again after all those years.
That said, my…”

trevmo commented on 50-Years-Owned 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 4-Speed

“This was the first car I ever bought new from a dealer when I was 20. I was driving a beat up old Ford F150 with bad linkage that I had bought for $150. The dealer offered a $5k of discount for anything you could push pull or drag in, so the Ford made his last journey.
My father had a terminal diagnosis at the time and provided the remaining $10k needed to make sure his little girl would have a new car after he was gone.
This car got me through those early years of having lost both…”

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

“@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…”

Ghiasteve commented on 46-Years-Owned 1965 Volkswagen Type 3 Notchback 4-Speed

“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.”
