“The gap between the order date and the serialized date on the Marti report reminds me that Ford workers went on strike in the fall of 1976.
I had factory ordered a new Econoline 150 around the same time as this Bronco and I took delivery in January of 1977. My van was the same Midnight Metallic Blue as this Bronco. A Great color”

“I remember growing up in the 90s and early 2000s watching this series on speedvision, cable channel 53 back then. Kinda brings back memories of the real time integra type r from back in that era as well. Great memories.”

“I remember back in the mid to late 80s, collectors were buying big blocks C2’s, but stayed away from split windows, telling everybody nobody wants them, hard to see out of the back, blah, blah blah! Funny how times have changed.
Beautiful Car, GLWTA!”

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

“I’m a Corvette girl. I grew up with a dad who restored them. His first Corvette was a ’57 that he used to race. He decided to make it street legal in the mid ’60’s and had it on the road 3 days when a lady ran a stop sign and busted up the front end. He put a new front end on it, and it’s been sitting in the garage waiting to be restored for the past 50ish years. I’m 50 and it’s always looked a bit like this Elva, though the undercarriage and the body are pristine–just raw because it’s been in…”

“I’ve been fortunate to own some really nice Ducati’s. My 996 SPS was one of my favorite bikes. Tons of linear power, killer exhaust note and just a joy to ride. Beautiful bike presented here @DesmoquattroRestorations”

“My father and I test drove this exact colour combination 300SD when it was brand new in Vancouver British Colombia. He pulled over half way into the test drive and asked if I wanted to drive it. He recently passed away and when I saw this car it took me back to that moment in my life and it made me smile.”

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

“Looking at the pictorial history , this car was a significant custom , built in the golden age of custom cars and was obviously left in a state that may have lead to it disappearing forever .
Accolades to those with the skills , talent and imagination to have originally built it , and cheers to the gentleman who saved it from oblivion and had the fortitude to bring it back .
A great story here if you appreciate or grew up in the era that this came from ..”

Petrolholic commented on Custom 1955 Ford Thunderbird “Moon Rocket” 3-Speed

“WOW! Some won’t understand it, but for those of us that are old enough to have witnessed the greatness of the “full custom” car era, this is a walk down Memory Lane. I feel very fortunate to have grown up in the So Cal custom car culture and this is a great example of the creative customs from that time. Kudos to all involved in this meticulous and period correct restoration. Thank you for saving this significant piece of automotive history! GLWTA!”

“Beautiful! As a kid growing up in the 1960’s I had a Corgi 1/43rd scale 1967 Camaro in this exact color combo with a removable top. Thanks for the memory and GLWTA 👍”

“Wynonna is her name – yes, I am one of those car owners. I bought her from my elderly neighbor who needed a smaller car when she moved in with her children, but the dealerships would not offer her half the NADA guide price in trade, so I paid the NADA price. I knew the history of the car and the mechanic who serviced Wynonna since the early 1990s, but who retired in 2025. He is an AACA member and always at the Hershey Eastern Fall Meet as well as some of the Carlisle Car Show events.…”

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

“in 1979 I was working at the old Hughes Aircraft facility in Culver City – right on the ocean where the Spruce Goose was built. We were building the F18 radar there and one of the most experienced radar engineers was Lee Spalding, USC trained, grew up in Gardena and lived in PalosVerdes, He had one of these. It was his daily driver and it had a great deal of miles on it – all original. During the winter he was having trouble with it running – he did all of the work – and we discussed the…”

“This car was in our family from 1987-2001, I restored it for my Dad while going to college, went 10.60’s with a 440 when we had it. Neat to see it again.”

Discoquik commented on 1962 Plymouth Savoy 2-Door Sedan Super Stock Max Wedge 3-Speed

“I used to own this car in the late 80’s early 90’s. the first owner Dave McKenna told me that Chrysler engineers told him that Chrysler used the thinnest gauge metal to stamp out the entire bodies of the Maxwedge cars making them about 400LBS lighter than the production model Savoys. We wighed this car at the race track and it weighed 3250Lbs a little more than our 70 340 Duster. Most people were unaware of this slight of hand. Chevy, Ford and Pontiac weighed 3800-4100Lbs in 62 giving the…”

“When I look at this listing I can feel Anne’s arms around my waist. Both of us sixteen. Laughing with each other as we sped around sludgoville on those hot summer nights back in ’77 on the bike I picked up for a couple-hundred bucks from a buddy who needed the cash. No helmets. No leathers. Just being kids who thought we were immortal. These days I’m holding on to those moments of youth you can never really hold on to, only remember. But tonight, on this silly website, I can still smell her…”

“3.8L in a car that weighs as much as a Slim Jim?
Yes please!
Some cars come with engines….some engines come with cars.
One of the most exciting E21s featured on BaT.”

“Those roof air intakes are SO COOL!
It must have been so much fun being a car designer during this era. Styling and thinking of the next big thing was the competitive differentiator then. And let’s not forget about the space age influence that began to appear in the late 50s.
Nice car and restoration @seller.”
