Gnomenclature commented on No Reserve: 68k-Kilometer, Japanese-Market 1998 Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG Wagon

“This is an absolutely stunning car. We had this one at Macchinissima III and it was a favorite. I had the pleasure to drive it a little bit. It is very approachable but the Ford engine does scream with all the best noises. Condition is on another level of this one.”

“My grandfather bought one of these new back in the day and got a surprise when he picked it up after its first scheduled service at the dealership. The service writer put “Aspen” on the repair order, so my grandfather asked him to correct it. Confused, the service guy walked over to his car and pointed at the “Aspen” badge on the side of the car. They walked around to the drivers side and were greeted by a “Volare” badge! I assume the workers on the assembly line just grabbed the…”

“I owned SN 5077 many years ago. The 4-liter engine pulls like a locomotive. There is comfortable seating for 4 adults. I think it is the best of the 2+2 classic Ferraris. You will never regret owning it. – Keith Martin”

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

“The missile appeared at Earl’s Salvage Yard & Formalwear on a Tuesday morning.
At least that was what Hairless B29 called it when he walked into the Grounds for Divorce and announced that Earl had acquired a rocket.
Angus Hopper continued buttering his toast.
“How big?”
“Three feet, maybe.”
Angus looked up. “That ain’t much of a rocket.”
“It’s streamlined.”
This was apparently sufficient evidence to bring Rex Hall into the investigation. By nine…”

“The Story Here…
As an automotive magazine publisher, editor and motor journalist in the ’80s and ’90s, I was privileged to attend many unique and amazing press functions and receive highly-specialized literature regarding the cars being launched. From the Highlands of Scotland to the South of France. From the US Continental Divide to the jungles and rain forests of Guatemala and Belize. From small back mews of the English Midlands to palatial manor houses in London. What a time it…”

“Behold the magic of BaT:
We’ve got what’s likely the nicest ‘Wagon Queen Family Truckster’ replica ever made currently available and now we’ve got an extremely close-enough example of what Clark W. Griswold traded-in at Lou Glutz Motors with this ‘70 Vista Cruiser.

“Tip..!
The person who wins this auction and also every non bidder / winner genuinely interested in important car history should buy the 1990 book “Hans Ledwinka, Seine autos sein leben”. Currently there is one offered on the internet at only 173 us.Even though it is in german,the pictures and technical drawings tell an interesting story. I myself triggered by this auction got the book out of my library just now and even got a bit nostalgic realising that its 60 plus year ago on a hitchhike…”

“Anyone who follows Alfaholics’ work and is a Spider / Duetto fan knows this car as Alfa royalty. Fair amount of work to drop a Busso V6 in, and then later convert from right to left hand drive…”

“I made a comment on this auction before an epic 10 day trip to Italy. I’m back. The auction is still going!
I was in northern Italy (Milan and Lake Como) and guess how many Ferraris I saw?
One. One solitary 296… in ten days.
My son: “Dad, where are all the Ferraris?”
Me: “In the USA.””

“Mezger engine block was literally built to be wailed on at redline for 24 hrs straight, it’s nearly impossible to destroy it, you have to be intentionally holding it past redline for probably 1 hr+.
Reminds me of the old cash for clunkers video where they emptied the oil pan on an 80 series landcruiser, put it in neutral, and floored it. It took like 20+ mins at past redline for the engine to give out with no lubrication.”

“I have and would drive any 200 cross country. Bring a couple spanners 10mm 13 mm pop into advance grab some coolant and oil, bring an extra thermostat and you should be good to go.
If coming west stay off 80 at night when rainy lol. 200’s are the best when on point.”

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

“Some final hour Sport evolution M3 fun facts.
The sport evolution is the 3rd evolution of the E30 M3 homologated for racing. It was produced for just 3 months in 1990 resulting in 600 models. 500 models were required to evolve a race car at the time. Only 204 Red Sport evos were ever made.
This car is 100% original in terms of parts. The modifications are exactly as it left BMW.
The Sport evo was the only E30 M3 to feature a 2.5 Liter S14 engine making 238 HP.
Some easy to spot visual…”

“In the 70’s (in college), I had a summer job at Stern-Hasskell ( high end dealer ) in the Bronx NY. That is where I saw my first and only Mangusta. I never forgot it. It is as stunning today as it was all those many years ago. Thanks for the memories!!”
