I don't get it. i finally finagled a ride in a Panamera, and managed to drive it back. Maybe 5 miles. If this said GM or Ford on the grille, at it's selling price, the web would say, show all 9,077 discussions in response to ...... And 9,076 would be outraged indignation.

Oh. yeah, I forgot - CP. $16k buys many more interesting rides than this. Plus, you're thinking of making a 30+ lb. boost-pressure Honda your daily driver? Will AAA still tow race cars?

Where the hell would a gearhead go to buy a three-rotor Wankel from Mazda? Is it some Japanese version of COPO?

I will pay for the addresses of the 11 who voted nice price. I have a surplus bridge.

She is probably a 15 footer and batshit crazy. Rehab would kill you both. Possibly best ride ever, though.

I haven't heard anyone bring this car up for years. Good for you that you've got one on the road today. My memory is of an eminently tossable lightweight little hatchback that did excellent fuel mileage - even better than the Rabbits we also sold. What happened to all those lightweights? What happened to that

I am always amazed when someone restores and/or modifies a vehicle based on some elusive emotional connection. That is how you end up spending $50k on a $10k car.

Anyone buying the bastardized versions of so-called "stock" cars deserves what they get. SFB

Doesn't Dan Gurney winning in a car of his own design and construction belong in this discussion?

Looks like a long-wheelbase go-kart. With 425 h.p. Not what I would do with it, but good on them for keeping it the family, especially in light of the cash waved in their faces.

Thank you. This man may be the last survivor of this terrifying time when technology was far outpacing their ability to (a) keep these machines on the road (b) race on roads and tracks built for half the speeds they were achieving. Outstanding presence of mind to record this legend. On a side note, I cannot curb my

In other words, an operational example of the typical automobile of the era? Materials and build condition, too? But, more to the point, that is too much premium for the provenance. Frazier is iconic, but not to most gearheads.

I am WalterfuckingWhite!!! I'm not afraid of the knock at the window - I'm the one knocking.......

Aren't those facts from an old DED article in Winding Road?

I love this site. In the space of a dozen comments I see a reference to party animal James Hunt, a social critique of Chinese business and and an obscure reference to Inspector Morse. And they say us gearheads are shallow.

There was a player in Joe Walsh's Barnstorm named Joe Vitale. Doppelganger or actual man? Why did I ask that question? I'm calling in the white coats myself now...................

That Eldorado Seville coupe is too rare to be driven in the salt. Or am I missing the point? I haven't seen those unique stainless lower quarters for 40 years. I think it had a multi-carburetted engine also. Beautiful combo of Harley and Bill.

Doctor, Doctor, please, livin' lovin' I'm on the run....so far away from you............

I want one with a magnesium rear-engined V8, stat! Oh wait........is that a Tatra, or not?

This cannot work as a conventional "jump start" tool. The amps would fry the fuse and the wire. This must function as a trickle charge type device. But that wouldn't stop the hucksters from taking advantage of the "they can't say it on TV if it isn't true" crowd. They should be ashamed, but that is a concept that
