    “A story to make your day.
    In 1983 reading an Automotive News, an ad taken out had a Lamborghini Countach for sale in Middle East, 35K US.
    Hard to complete the purchase, Mersk shipping, import, bonds, DOT, EPA etc. While this was going,
    This dignitary sent pictures of dozens of other Ferrari’s, Lamborghini’s, Rolls Royce’s etc. sitting in sand cover lots. Even a P-51 sitting in a park. Seems almost like when cars ran out of gas they were just parked!
    There were two Miura’s, one red…”

    “Thank you for the positive comments and questions.
    This Citroen has always been owned by enthusiasts. It was sold new in France and the second owner moved it to the Netherlands ( a Mecca for Citroens)in 2000. He drove it to the 50th and 60th Citroen jubilees in Paris. Somewhere I’ve got a picture of it driving by the Arc de Triomphe. I’ve got a 2” thick folder of service receipts from the previous owner. He passed from covid and I bought it and imported to the states in the fall of…”

    “@WIZZZZ
    I met Fred at Bonneville in 1963. He had set a 2-way record the previous year at 99.06 mph with his absolutely stock Corvair Monza. I had managed to go 107 mph with my stock 61 Corvair but needed bigger tires. Fred told me that Rambler Station Wagons had 15″ wheels that would fit Corvairs. There was a little junk yard on the outskirts of Wendover, Utah right on the state border with Nevada. I went down there and found a Nash Rambler in there with two 6.40 X 15″ tires (1 was…”

    “Last summer the Eastern PA Chapter of the Audi Club did it’s annual covered bridges drive and ice cream run. A very fun and spirited ~150 mile drive. I show up in my 1989 80 Quattro, my wife drove our 2001 TT 225 Roadster, and a guy I had never seen before at any Audi event shows up in one of these. Jaws dropped. He was super nice, down to earth, and had no problem with any of us getting in and checking it out.”

    “These cars are just great. I bought a 2024 manual on a whim last year and have zero regrets. They do it all so well. My fair weather daily drivers last summer were this Golf, a 2018 GT3 Touring, and my venerable 993. For regular use, the Golf is ~80% of the fun of the GT3 for 20% of the money. Sold the GT3 shortly thereafter just because I prefer the Golf. Will never sell the 993, though.”

    “My heart skipped a beat when I saw this. My first job out of college was working for TDM in Livonia MI which later became Wheel to Wheel a prototype shop for GM’s Jon Moss. We built a 383 6spd SS with a rollcage for GM Special Vehicles to do high speed testing at MIS. I don’t think this is that car but always wondered what happened to it and many others. Great first engineering job for a young gear head.”

    “The good old days. Sit down with a sales person and start checking the right boxes to buy the car that’s built just for you.”

    junkman commented on 1966 Chevrolet Impala Convertible 396 4-Speed

    “Beautiful car, tremendous history. Made all the more valuable in my eyes by not being a static display. Too many “experienced” cars are doomed to a life in a cage, never again to be heard or seen performing the purpose they were built for…driving with spirit. Thanks, and good luck.”

    “Kudos for installing the flathead. Yes, the Chevy is a great engine, but they don’t have to be in everything, especially a Model A. Perfect hot rod. GLWTA!”

    “I had to chime in as this brought back memories. My dad had one with factory 4 speed and (at least) front disc brakes. Can’t remember the rears. Factory silver with a vinyl roof. That 4 speed was a LONG throw so it took a while to get there. A lot of axle hop. I always thought it would make a great sleeper hotrod with a bit of engine & suspension work. I had no idea how rare the factory options were. Who knew?”

    “Always loved these. I am the person responsible for that front cover photo of Hemmings Muscle Machines. I was the editor of that magazine at the time. That Mopar issue was a ton of work, but satisfying. Beautiful example of when Chrysler actually built cars. Today, just the Pacifica.”

    “Hopefully the new owner can get in touch with Bobby and get a picture alongside the car, It would be worth the drive or plane ticket! This is a once in a lifetime auction.”

    “Nobody paid much attention when the old Dodge arrived.
    A 1970 Dodge Polara Police Pursuit sedan painted in authentic black and white with a 440 Magnum under the hood wasn’t exactly subtle. Long, square-jawed, and purposeful, it looked ready to issue citations despite having been retired for decades. Still, at Fort Stockton’s annual Classic Car Roundup, it found itself parked between a candy-apple red Corvette and a turquoise Thunderbird convertible. Compared to chrome and tailfins, an old…”
