    “Commenting as an owner of a ’72 GTV with V6 using many of the same swap components…
    @benzog Looks to be a Larry JR. / Alfa Parts Exchange bellhousing. A very robust casting.
    @Stockpat97 Assuming you’re asking about cam belt replacement, the belt & tensioner are easily accessed with the radiator removed.
    @Alfaman Right, not easy maneuvering the V6 into place but I’ve done it solo 3 times during the build. Once its in access around the engine is really not bad at all.”

    “Dean Batchelor and Phil Hill agreed that if one has only one Ferrari, make it a 330 GTC. It does everything so well. As said, not only does it NOT need power steering, leave off all options including AC and Borrani wire wheels on these cars. The AC in this era had an ugly compressor, was very heavy and not very effective. Borrani’s are certainly beautiful but along with the attaching hardware are much heavier than the race proven Campagnolo disc wheels with their P car style provenance.…”

    “My first car was a black 1987 325es. I loved that car and always told myself I would own another E30. This one is perfect.”

    “Every time I see one of these I can’t help but think so fondly of Ed “Lancia” Levin and his remarkable knowledge surrounding these cars.
    These really are spectacular cars in every respect. Once you drive one, you never forget it. @seller needs no introduction here so bid with confidence. These have been woefully undervalued compared with similar era cars, but I believe all that is about to change as more people wake up to US landed examples like this, and the amazing amount of fun one can…”

    “10+ years ago I traveled Mexico supporting this legendary little Alfa for the 2015 Carrera Panamericana, unforgettable memories and awesome little car.”

    DVmechanics commented on 1968 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300Ti “El Taxi Perdido”

    “This car is fast and we raced against it in LCP in my Datsun 510 with many great memories of running in the top 10 together against the big V8 cars. It will go over 130 as I one time switched the Garmin page to history when he wasn’t looking and it said 132 mph…my 510 was good for 121 WFO”

    “Just so anyone watching this knows, the “Chip” referenced in the records as a prior owner in the story of this car is my father. This car is coming home”

    Crandy commented on 1970 Porsche 911E Coupe 5-Speed

    “Hard to imagine that this stunning body style only lasted 3 years. Peak GM sculpting straight out of mid century Detroit. Whew”

    Craven commented on 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS

    “Just stunning. Hard to imagine today that these were once just considered cars and converted to race cars and sometimes trucks! I read where a wealthy widow donated her late husband’s for scrap to support the war effort.”

    “Oh my goodness. Why aren’t there more of these? A Packard restomod. Some would say it’s sacrilege but whew… well played.”

    Charleetuner commented on LT1-Powered 1937 Packard 115-C Convertible Coupe

    “I remember filling out a postcard to get a promotional dvd for this car when i was 14. The dvd was about 5 minutes of this car doing straight line accelerations and burnouts. I watched it a ton of times. I thought it was badass then and I still do now.”

    “My old GTX! What a joy to see it again, and looking so darn sharp.
    Thank you for the shout Randy @BaT – I would’ve missed the listing otherwise. Time travel is fun, eh?
    I bought this car in Las Vegas in 2012 after years of hunting for a good one. Even back then, they were quite rare. On the drive home to San Francisco, I took a dirt detour through Titus Canyon in Death Valley, and you can see pics from that in the original auction gallery. One of my favorite car memories of all…”

    Dvredc5 commented on Modified 2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 Coupe 6-Speed

    “Woah! Serendipitous… just saw my first Sonett on the road two weeks ago, after a two + decade hiatus from my own eyes. Sure, I’ve seen them at car shows, but in motion? Running errands? Not in forever… such a cool cat rolling down the road. Makes me wish that all cars were of this scale, instead of bloated monstrosities.”

    notforhire commented on 1972 Saab Sonett III

    “Had this exact car, one of my favorite cars of all time. Nothing like a big sedan that runs like a hot rod. And these cars do. Not sure how they gear them or what is done to them. But this car is an amazing performance vehicle. I have a s65 now. But I actually liked the 63 more. Especially for just driving pleasure”
