This 71 ZR-1 Vert was recently listed For Sale at 260,000.00. Not sure if it Sold or still for sale.

Lots of Reds and Whites delivered this week. Lot of happy owners too. For my favorite this week, can't do much better than a mid year coupe with side pipes and red line tires!

Mike,

So sorry about your loss of Copper. It's never easy to lose such wonderful and loving companions.

For my favorite pic this week I'll go with this funny shot from Breaking Away (1979). REFUND!? REFUND?!?

Great thread today Mike. So sorry to hear about the loss of Copper. Dogs are definitely family. They love us unconditionally. Our hearts go out to you and your family.

I don't know what it is about the C3 body style, but I am really taking a liking to them lately. This blue one is simply gorgeous!!

Condolences on the loss of your beloved dog, Mike. They truly are part of the family. I used to have two black Labrador Retrievers and they lived to be 13 and 15. They both have been gone about a decade now, but I smile every time I think about them or see another one out for a walk in the neighborhood.

A dog is the only creature that loves you more than he loves himself. (A cat? Meh; not so much. They express their love in more subliminal ways, I suppose.)

This is my favorite for the week. The car looks so much better without the black check mark down the side. Will the 2021 model give you this option without having to change the color of the vents in the back?

I can explain this.

The photo will have been taken in Australia in the 80's or 90's for a fashion essay in an Australian Magazine.

It was a common set-up to use what was, to Australians, a very exotic and mysterious American car to sell ladies gingham slacks.

The car itself would have been imported to Australia from the USA and had the steering converted to RHD in someone's backyard shed because that was the only way it could be legally registered for road use.

And I have a 2020 Q on the pic below V V V

I understand this to be a 3LT interior with 'Natural Seats'. Natural is the color name avail only on LT-2 and LT-3 in different seat configuration such as GT-1, GT-2 Suede, or Competition.

My Q: If I wanted this particular interior option that Charles & Carrol so wisely picked, what would the MSRP come in at?

Hinckley looked like a great first mate! Incredible bond for that I'm sure.

Esp. like the pics of the first one, in white. Very creatively done. Sorry to hear about your dog; it's sad to lose one of the family. Be well and healthy!
