“If you told me 10 years ago that GM’s only manual performance car would be a Cadillac sedan, I’d have told you you’re crazy.”
“I recall the great stories from the original owner. Need to bottle them with the car.”
A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“I did the rear disc conversion on this truck many years ago. It was done using front hubs (bolt right on) and RRC /DI rear rotors and calipers. I never liked the way Land Rover cheaped out on the factory rear Salisbury disc setup by using the narrow drive flanges with short splines that strip out easily and short spindles with narrow spaced bearings… That’s why I used to do it this way, retaining the far better wide drive flanges and longer axle spline engagement, with wet splines. The…”

“When I was a kid, I remember overhearing a conversation between my mom and dad about it being time for a new car. Final words to my dad were “I don’t care what it is as long as it’s a station wagon!’. Boy, just imagine if he had come home with this one!!”

“I use to own that car. I bought it from the original owner who owned it in Sacramento California. When I sold it through a Ferrari shop located in San Mateo it went back east . At the time it still had it’s original paint and by looking at the pictures I think it still does.. I had both seats redone in the original material that I obtained from Italy.. i remember the car well. ( I designed the battery closing panel as I could not find back then an original battery cover.. The car never had…”

“This Montrealer is visiting LA for the weekend.
I visited the Peterson Museum yesterday, including the Vault … what a treat for this layman to see so many spectacular “automobiles” in 1 place!
This Rolls would be perfectly suited there.
@Dollycat3, cheers back …with a fine cup of British tea for this gem.”

“I have an extensive amount of hands on detailing and reconditioning experience with the W126 model over the past 25 plus years, and its so nice to see such a well preserved low mileage example. This is such a period cool color combination, and the brown leather is so clean and well preserved !!!
I would LOVE to personally own a car like this, but I would probably double the mileage within the first year if I did. Such a great driving car, and in my opinion the W126 is way up high at the top…”

“GM should bring back the S-10! I had a 92′ and put 435,000 miles on it. Same engine as this one. Parts were cheap and they were easy to work on.”

“Drove my 1966 912 to CA to visit my folks from Fort Hood after returning from Vietnam. I was McQueen’s photo-double and stand-in during the filming of The Sand Pebbles when I received my ‘Greetings’ letter from the draft board. Steve and Neile invited us to ‘the Castle’ for dinner. My 912 began some serious noise and I took it to a Porsche shop Steve recommended. Something was wrong with the factory half axle or axles and, they required replacement/upgrading. I for get now (80…”

“I love the 124, having owned many wagons and coupes and currently a Cab, these really are from a time when M-B was the best in the world. But this one, an AMG wide-body, just wow. I thought the E500 6.0 sold last year was the peak, but I sit corrected, has to be this one. Stunning in every way, GLWTA!”

“This is the perfect example of a GT to be bought and driven. It is completely sorted and ready to drive without concern for “never driven garage queen”
Buy this, drive it, and love it!
They are such a blast to drive”

“Wow! What a coincidence! My current 993 cup-based racecar has THEE original M64/70 993 Cup 3.8L engine that was originally in this BaT car listed (before John Ruther had it converted to an RSR, courtesy of Alwin Springer of ANDIAL and who was also the head of PMNA back then). Basically I have the original low hours still-sealed 3.8L Cup motor and original motorsport ECU/DME that belonged to this car listed when it arrived stateside back in 1995. Small world indeed!”

“When approaching a B24S Spider from the rear, a couple of times when not paying attention I have been fooled and thought early Alfa Romeo 750 Giulietta Spider only to realize I am in the presence of true automotive greatness.
Back in the 1960s when I was a gopher for legendary race driver David Piper on his 250 GTO and then 250 P Ferraris at Goodwood he drove Lancias as his Daily Driver. I asked him why when he raced Ferrari’ finest machinery and he said ‘You need to understand how…”

“Honda corporate donated 50 of these Big Reds to our Sheriff’s department in 1990, and provided advanced training to me and the rest of our deputies who were assigned these vehicles, including taking on thick underbrush at speed, when a four wheel ATV would dry dock. They became marked tactical vehicles for an amazingly-wide variety of extreme duties. What a magnificent machine. GLWTA!!!!!”

“My first car was a 74 2002, non-tii. I learned how to heel-and-toe in that car and used to make fun of my friend Bob who had a GTO he thought was real tough. Oh sure, in a straight line he’d blow me away but he had to start braking for turns about ½ mile out, and I’d just cruise by him, by the time we left the turn he was in my mirror, then in about 15 seconds I’d choke on his exhaust as he smoked (literally) past me. My other friend Rich said if he ever robbed a bank he would hire me as his…”

“Well that was fun! I just wanted to comment here that i fell in love with this car when I was 16 years old. The first car I ever bought myself at 17 was a 1992 Black SHO, and my friend had a white 89. I’ve owned 5 of the Gen 2 cars since 2003 and I’ve been waiting to add the right SHO to my collection. I have my favorite car from each decade and the car from the 80s was the last missing piece. I am excited to year the secondaries open on the Yamaha 3.0 and to show my 3 young kids what peak…”

“Take that front light bar off and scenes from Laurel and Hardy movies come immediately to mind. Nothing left but a pile of Model T parts. The bar holds the entire car together.
I can find black touch up paint, it’s the alligator finish that’s difficult to achieve. Apparently it needs 100 years to set up.”

“Jimmy Don Ventura had owned enough unusual automobiles over the years to believe he understood the public. He’d driven a lime-green AMC Gremlin, a Triumph Spitfire that leaked oil with the determination of an East Texas mosquito, and a Plymouth Barracuda that had once stranded him in front of the Dairy Twin during the lunch rush. Every one of them had attracted comments, questions, and unsolicited mechanical advice from complete strangers.
Then he bought Fred.
Officially, it was a 1949…”
