I have this car for almost 6 months. The car is very easy to drive and live with everyday. Yes it gets through fuel pump, and it is rather expensive to run, but it makes you feel rather special, and there's always plenty of grunt when required. I still get comments of how nice and impressive my car is, and if it wasn't for the tires that are very sensitive and prone to punctures, it's pretty much perfect.

It was a surprise how reliable a Ferrari can be. I haven't had any major problems with it. The running costs are on the high side, but on the other hand it is possible to do the maintenance myself like fuel filter replacement or oil change and that keeps costs low.

It is a great looker and still looks modern and is a head turner 25 years after it was introduced at the Frankfurt car show in 1976. It handles well and predictably and is great on the track.

I'm biased, I paid less than $9k and for the money there's little to touch it. My Porsche is very powerful, not just by way of revs, but also torque, it pulls hard and long from low revs and keeps going through all six gears. Its ability to drag you out of a corner will put a smile on your face. The chassis and engine mount are stiff which translates into a very positive driving experience, feedback from the road is second to none and the power steering is expertly weighted for 'driving' The interior is well put together, but not very exciting although the sports seats as fitted are very supportive (snug) Mine has a Hayward and Scott S/S exhaust fitted which sounds fantastic when you're in the mood, otherwise it's damn loud.

My Plymouth Acclaim was an awesome first car for me when I am still a little boy. I mean I have gone so far on it's awesome Plymouth Acclaim parts and it can go really fast. My car runs great on fourth gear it went 89 miles on E indicator that's when it finally ran out of gas. I love it! but now that's its on 1299867 miles I just use it for work.

I have a 1973 Audi 100 GL that came with an Audi 100 Distributor Rotor and 401cu motor. I was showing off and locked the engine up racing down the highway. So I bought and engine out of an Audi 100 GL which is a 7.5 liter 455.This motor has and Edelbrock carburetor and a comp.cam.


I love everything about this car, the speed, the feel of classic power steering, the size, but most of all that positive traction rear-end.I would never sell this car because I did all the work to it with my dad, so I am very fond of it.


Lightweight old classic that had all the options, plenty of room for passengers and yourself. Has one of the largest trunks that is conceivable to man! A lot of chrome old style looks, classic handling, a lot of power out of a small V8. Great show car, or daily driver. Seats are bumpy, but need recovering. A lot of interior parts cracked and need of replacing, but what do you expect from a car made in 1965? Came with a 300 cubic inch V8 with factory aluminum heads and a 4bbl carb producing 270 HP and 335 LB of torque.


Hard on gas mileage, but well worth its weight in gold! Parts are expensive and hard to find, but Buick didn't make many of them and there aren't many around so its fun looking for them and a challenge to rebuild to factory condition.
