    “Former owner of this car, here. This was one of the best running and funnest driving 911’s I have ever owned. The E model has smaller numbers, but probably is the best driving street machine out of all the early cars. 1972 model to boot! For a little background, this car was purchased brand new by an airline 747 captain living in Tiburon, CA. Years later I find myself working for that same airline. A few years back I was flying with a guy on a multi day trip. We were shooting the breeze while…”

    “Where would you ever find another one? I haven’t seen these since the 90’s. Cool. GLWTA.”

    “”Built with the 2.8L EFI V6 and 5-Speed Manual Overdrive Transmission: 1,564 (less than 7% of production)”
    As a former XR4Ti owner who frequented the Merkur forums in the late ’90s and early ’00s, I can tell you that examples with the 5-speed manual were engine swap gold in salvage yards. (Though perhaps only the later/larger 3.0 V6?)
    Specifically, those looking to ditch the Merkur’s 2.3T and replace it with the V6 from the Taurus SHO. This transmission and bellhousing made the swap much…”

    “The swap is Fonzie-cool all by itself, but the fact that this swap is entirely hiding in absolute plain sight is incredibly brilliant. The exterior says Grandma-and-Grandpa’s old Oldsmobile and nothing but a clean and bone stock Brougham.
    The gauges and the OEM CB are the chef’s kiss to complement this newfound proper-power Diesel.
    Besides, anyone can do an LS-swap.”

    “I’m so excited! This is something I want to share with my son who is a cancer survivor. A dad dream to teach my son how to drive a manual in one of my dream cars!”

    MoonieGT commented on 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi

    “Cars are not merely tools that transport us from one point to another, but they also act as companions on life’s journey. They’re present during our joyous adventures, supportive during melancholy journeys, and a symbol of triumph in our victories. They reflect our personal stories, embody our dreams, and even color our memories. They are “like rolling diaries,” chronicling the story of our lives through every dent, scratch, and modification.”

    “As a Norwegian, I am baffled by this car being used to ferry kids in the don’t stick out-culture of Sweden rather than any person knowing how to change gears. That’s the most American perspective ever, haha. Imagine this in a sea of ever similar Volvos and the occasional SAAB 9-5 wagon…the V12 sound must have had a hypnotizing effect on the crowd, who went straight home to judge the owner in all ways imaginable…”

    “Beautiful B12 5.7. FYI – this car came with the CSi front spoiler when new from ALPINA. I have the information on all B12 5.7 E31 Coupes and which front spoiler they were delivered with. One could either spec the ALPINA lip or CSi front spoiler when specing the car when new. This car also started life as a CSi. Contrary to common thought, not all B12 5.7s started life as a CSi, but that is for a different discussion at a different time. Beautiful color – Ferrari Red.
    Good luck with…”

    “Yes, this is John Schneider’s Dino.
    In April 1997, he spoke about it in a Motor Trend interview:
    The first Ferrari I got was a ’74 246 GTS Dino. Loved it. Should never have sold that car. It was just a screaming car. I don’t think anybody else could possibly get that much spit out of six cylinders. We had kind of a “cannonball run” going on one night on the way to Texas. I was going to do “Eddie Macon’s Run.” I had my Dino, an Aston Martin Volante, and, also every kid’s dream, a…”

    “So an observation of a very obscure Honda factoid. This car has the dealer installed, recall program Takata black plastic guides still in place on the front seat belt latches. The Honda and Acura recall notice back then stated there were complaints about the front seat belts not latching properly. This was Takata’s solution. There was a rumor published at the time saying Honda’s president attributed the problem to us Americans spilling our soft drinks into the latches. Funny, he was…”

    “As a Viper enthusiast, I’ve always found myself drawn to the unique, well-optioned examples, particularly the cars that came through the GTC 1 of 1 program.
    I tend to break the Gen V ACRs into three general categories. First are the more race-focused 3-speaker ACRs, with 456 produced. Second are the factory Special Editions — GTS-R, VooDoo II, Snakeskin, 1:28 and Dealer Edition — which account for 214 cars in total. Finally, there are the 290 GTC ACRs, a little over 100 of which…”

    “The RoundPort exhaust manifolds were the cracker jacks , not the blocks.
    Straight water freezing in them is the #1 block cracker.
    Most times in the lifter valley.
    71 YG code 455 , 2bbl Automatic application. 2bolt mains.
    Correct application #197 455 HO heads
    1972 455 HO 2-piece Intake
    Correct 7041267 carb with legit stampings and proper date code.
    Cracked/Repaired exhaust manifolds.
    All that was covered in days gone by.”

    “@ix_xi
    As a TCR car homologated by the FIA for championships around the world, “it’s mandatory to use Racing Certified TCR fuel with at least 98RON Unleaded.”
    So safe to say you will be fine if you use 98 octane unleaded fuel which is generally available at the track or from any respected vendor.”
