“Pininfarina was truly on a roll with these mid to late ’60s Ferrari cars. Some of most beautiful designs ever penned, IMHO. The blue is a formidable statement proving the simple elegance of the design. For bigger drivers (he said looking in the mirror) this might be the most comfortable Ferrari ever built. GLWTA!”

“I had an HF back when new. Loved it. The gas mileage and reliability of these sought after economy cars is incredible. This Cali car looks fantastic and a lucky winner will smile on each shift all while passing the pumps and motoring on! Enjoy”

“Got to drive a Farmall of similar vintage at a friend’s property in Vermont – so much fun. And they were thrilled that I happily spent an entire afternoon mowing their enitre property, and then thanked them afterwards 😂😂
And, really – any vehicle that comes with a Mason Jar as standard equipment is worth owning.”

“Ocean Blue is an amazing color and not often do we see it. This is a great looking car and with the hardtop as a plus…. Winner will love this ride. All the Best!”

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

“A great car with a great story! I’m often surprised how wing cars are optioned. For example, the C-21 Center front-seat cushion and folding armrest with column automatic, seen here. Deluxe wheel covers? I guess I assume it’s a class of car that would naturally be more loaded up.
Of course their existence as the manufacturers were pushing the limits of NASCAR homologation rules ensures they are inherently fascinating. Producing them had nothing to do with marketing them for profit.…”

“Beautiful Square body! I have had 4 over the last 4 decades and have an 85 GMC Sierra Classic 3500 that is a Fall Guy replica. These trucks are imo the best trucks ever made. Someone will be getting a beautiful example and it being the first year of production is even a nicer feature. GLWTA👌👌👌”

“@64_S1 Not only can you drive this back home to the Midwest, you SHOULD! As one who has driven my S2 Elan coast to coast and border to border, I highly recommend it, with a couple of caveats. First, as you noted, install the side windows. Even with the top down it will keep the wind from beating you up. Then, when you put the top up, only if needed for major rain of course, you will stay relatively dry.
Second, do not use interstate highways unless there is no reasonable alternative. As the…”

“@the.flagrant.bidder no, that was chassis C22. You can read about C20 and C22 on the GTS-R registry at Viper Racing History.
C20 presents an opportunity to own a piece of history from the program that dominated international GT racing at the turn of the millennium. Its win at Hockenheim in the FIA GT race on June 27, 1999 was part of a rare international sweep in which Viper Team ORECA simultaneously won the American Le Mans Series race at Mosport on the same day. The car’s “All American…”

“All three Muncie 4-speeds were available in the ’69 Z28. Performance wise, the M20 is the best choice as it has a better first, second and third gear. This is all called out in my 1969 Camaro facto book. Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins always raced with the transmission with the lowest first gear. He told me this years ago.”

“rgpiatt: The chain/sprocket assembly is for adjusting ride height. I worked in the Ford Design Studio from 2005-2022 and these adjustment mechanisms were primarily used on clay armatures and were adjustable to simulate various ride height conditions. These were used on non-powered “pusher” properties for market research and internal evaluation as well. These design studies definitely weren’t built to last and most wound up as scrap. I’m not sure if these older mechanisms allowed for track…”

“Whoever gets this car is getting a winner. Early 99 builds are the pinnacle of the analog porsche experience. I have a similar cab as a daily driver and it is simply divine. Despite the fact that these are the lower priced Porsches in market, it simply makes it a genius value buy. The best water-cooled setup, analog pulls and cables, and (for my spec) no nannies. ABS ONLY! You cannot go wrong with these year and this build. I’m heavily biased, but I do think this is the ideal Porsche for daily…”

“Such a time warp, this is so cool, and seeing it on that trailer reminds me of all the old Drag Racing photos i have seen in books, and magazines from back in the day, someone is going the opportunity to get a very cool piece of nostalgia today. I have always loved Dusters, when I was 3 years old, 1973, my parents had an Orange 1971 340 Duster, its the first classic car I remember when I was a kid. I have a picture of me standing next to it somewhere. GLWTA”

“I owned SN 5077 many years ago. The 4-liter engine pulls like a locomotive. There is comfortable seating for 4 adults. I think it is the best of the 2+2 classic Ferraris. You will never regret owning it. – Keith Martin”
