The Engagement Edge

“A perspective: I own a 911sc converted to an ev with a P100D motor in it. It’s the most fun car i’ve ever owned. I also have a beetle with a 60hp type 1 and that is also super fun. There’s room in the world for all types! I’m certain this 2002 has a soul and personality, will bring smiles to all who get to experience it, and would be a blast to drive. Good luck to the buyer and seller!”

“I was fortunate enough to be able to watch Chuck Wray’s shop prepare a Bizzarrini for Pebble Beach, years ago- I think it was 2003. It came second in the Giugiaro class, which (of course) was judged by Giugiaro; best in class was a Ghibli, which he mentioned was his favorite of his designs. The level of meticulous work and knowledge at Chuck’s shop has to be seen to be believed. As Frank said, back then not many knew that these cars even existed. Nice to see them getting their propers.”

“While hitchhiking to the 1966 Comblain Latour Jazz Festival I got stranded somewere south of Liege.It was a wet and heazy night.In the far distance under the orange light of a lonely streetlamp I noticed a highly unfamiliar shape.It looked like some kind of alien spacecraft.As I got nearer I saw that it wasn’t a space vehicle,but a road car of a type I didn’t know it existed,had never seen before,and for that matter have never seen again,save for some pictures.It was a Bizzarini like the one…”

“Folks, the Gen 5 Viper was the epitome of everything great with cars. Manual transmission, rear wheel drive, hydraulic steering, and beautiful art inside and out with modern day technology. They will never make cars like this again and nothing made right now even matches the visceral feel of this. When you have mass produced 911s going for 200-500k, it’s amazing that this is not going for more than 500k. Those cars are so boring compared to this!”

That toothy front may well have inspired this 1955 Motorama Dream Car:

“We had the paint shop “Marauder” line at STAP I had the opportunity to work on these beautiful cars. There were about 8 of us on 2 shifts that made certain that they were gone over with a fine tooth comb!! Often they were sent through clear coat x2 so they were perfectly done! We would hang a heavy metal washer from a wire inside the car from body shop so everyone knew it was a Marauder. They were signed off by 3 different people before they got shipped to chassis!”

“At the age of 74 and having owned almost 200 cars over that span, I enjoyed many different cars, many muscle cars back in the 70’s when they were several years old and pretty much worn out by then…still tons of fun, I also owned several sports cars two Spitfires, and a ’63 Austin Healey Sprite, and three Fiat 850 spiders. But one of the few cars I always dreamed of was a TR6. Never had the money when a deal came along. I hope the winner will be as excited to drive this as I would have been…”

The 355’s have a Flat plane crankshaft, and with a Tubi Exhaust has a Formula 1 sound… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jchd1Sj6PsM If you are in a hurry, you can start at 30 seconds.

“Fun reading the comments here. I’ve owned many 99s over the years. My first car was a Topaz Yellow ‘76 GL 4 door with 90k miles that I bought in 1980 from my local Saab dealership, Reinertsen Motors. It was $3000, but I traded in my 1 year old Motobecane moped, so net cash was $2400 (plus tax). I later traded that 99 at Reinertsen Motors for a ‘74 Carolina Blue 99 LE like this one because I preferred the utility of the hatchback and it looked more up to date at the time as the 900 was…”

“If you’d told the regulars at Grounds for Divorce that Fort Stockton would one day be blessed—in the biblical sense—by something called a Lamborghini LM002 Wagon by Diomante, they would’ve nodded politely and blamed your condition on dehydration, heatstroke, or Rusty Hammer’s expired beef jerky.

But at 9:42 on a limp Wednesday morning, the impossible happened.

The thing arrived like a rolling oil embargo—silver paint glistening, roofline squared off like a shipping container…”

“A piece of trivia as we enter the final hour:

Next year marks 60 years since the Maserati Ghibli was first unveiled at the 1966 Turin Motor Show.

At just 27 years old, Giorgetto Giugiaro at Ghia created a shape that was lower, wider, and more dramatic than anything else on the road, with its endless bonnet, razor-sharp nose, and clean, unbroken flanks. For Maserati, it marked a commercial turning point: with the rise of the Autostrada era, the Orsi family and engineer Giulio Alfieri set out…”

That’s the most American perspective ever, haha. Imagine this in a sea of ever similar Volvos and the occasional SAAB 9-5 wagon…the V12 sound must have had a hypnotizing effect on the crowd, who went straight home to judge the owner in all ways imaginable…”

“Beautiful B12 5.7. FYI – this car came with the CSi front spoiler when new from ALPINA. I have the information on all B12 5.7 E31 Coupes and which front spoiler they were delivered with. One could either spec the ALPINA lip or CSi front spoiler when specing the car when new. This car also started life as a CSi. Contrary to common thought, not all B12 5.7s started life as a CSi, but that is for a different discussion at a different time. Beautiful color – Ferrari Red.

Good luck with…”

“Yes, this is John Schneider’s Dino.

In April 1997, he spoke about it in a Motor Trend interview:

The first Ferrari I got was a ’74 246 GTS Dino. Loved it. Should never have sold that car. It was just a screaming car. I don’t think anybody else could possibly get that much spit out of six cylinders. We had kind of a “cannonball run” going on one night on the way to Texas. I was going to do “Eddie Macon’s Run.” I had my Dino, an Aston Martin Volante, and, also every kid’s dream, a…”

“@ix_xi

As a TCR car homologated by the FIA for championships around the world, “it’s mandatory to use Racing Certified TCR fuel with at least 98RON Unleaded.”

So safe to say you will be fine if you use 98 octane unleaded fuel which is generally available at the track or from any respected vendor.”

Talk drifted to Christmas.
