Yesterday’s comments of note You Should Know

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…”

“An Alfa like this, in this original condition, is simply priceless. I don’t know who coined the expression “you can’t go home again,” but this car proves them wrong. This car is more than a time capsule, it is a time machine. Drive it and you will be transported back to Italy during an automotive golden age. A 100 point Pebble Beach example couldn’t give you any more pleasure than enjoying this in today’s real world. GLWTA.”

“We can crack some jokes, but lets also acknowledge the incredible craftsmanship here. The hand painted details are incredible!”

“Great read. Glad Denise McLuggage got a shout out. One of the great auto scribes who dosen’t get the recognition she deserves. Also wrote one of the best ski instruction books “The Centered Skier”.”

“Funny story – I was trying to find a correct new radiator cap for the TR4. I had gotten one from a British parts supplier, but it didn’t fit correctly. I grabbed my identical radiator from my project TR4 and went to the local parts stores to see what they had. Total strikeout. I went to Panda Express with TR4 radiator caps on my mind and got this fortune cookie. I immediately sent a picture of it to my wife saying “Looks like I’m getting another car!”.”

“Anyone buying an RX7 that’s been sitting for a long time should assume it needs apex seals unless proven otherwise. The dash and radio are lit up in some pics, so the car has electrical power. I’m guessing lack of power is the result of a few horses escaping the engine bay.
This FD is quite tempting. I have a few solutions for lack of power sitting in the corner of the shop ;)”

“I own a higher mileage AZ-1 just like this. It is awesome. Obviously the new owner will likely keep this stock, but upgrading the suspension to the Navic coilovers and adding a stiffer roll bar front and back dramatically changed the handling. It went from leaning SUV in the corners to go-kart. Just my 2 cents.”

“My dad had one of these back in the day. The drivetrain was something else. We owned it to about 250k miles before selling it on the original clutch, transmission, turbo, head gasket, diffs, etc. It’d been chip tuned the whole time to almost 300hp for most of that.
Not that it was cheap or easy to keep the rest of the car in shape around that drivetrain….but still, this was Audi at its best.”

“My Dad was always a “Buy American” guy, until his experiences with malaise-era GM and Chrysler K-cars finally convinced him to give Toyota a try. He bought an ’87 Camry — same generation as this one. It opened his eyes so wide that he bought another one in ’89, then one after the other in ’96, ’02, ’08, ’12 and ’14, When he passed, we took the ’12 and ’14 and traded it in for a ’19 for my Mom to drive. But it all started with this generation of Camry.”

“This 1960 Riva Tritone has been beautifully refurbished and is in full working order, ready to enjoy on Lago di Garda, Lago di Como, Rapallo or perhaps the Great Lakes in the United States. Everything functions as it should and the boat presents in excellent condition throughout.
A Riva Tritone is a rare combination of timeless design, Italian craftsmanship and sheer presence on the water. From the sparkling waters of Lake Tahoe to the elegant harbors of Sag Harbor, and from Lago di Iseo/…”

“Good evening everyone and welcome to our latest Premium, Exclusive, Bring-A-Trailer Auction!
For our many Mercedes-Benz fans and AMG aficionados, you are in for a rare and very special treat!
AMG built just 35 of these scarce, pre-merger, treasures and 25 of them were immediately scooped up by the Sultan of Brunei and never to be seen again…
This is just one of the ten built, that were snuck out to private collections to come our way and the first to come from an original…”

“One of VERY few factory supercharged Saleen’s from 1993. And people talk about 93 Cobras being rare…pffft. factory Supercharged Saleen Foxbody has entered the chat…. No disappointments here. A great car that I have personally been around and driven. Best of luck to all bidders and the seller. Mark has the good stuff!!”

“Rare and eerily beautiful.
I saw one of these driving down our main street years ago when the rear door opened and the coffin slid out and kept rolling down the street. People tried to slow it down but no luck. Finally a clerk from the local drug store ran out, caught up to the speeding casket and sprayed Robitussin all over it.
Boy did that ever stop the coffin.”
