Every now and then I'll get an email or see something in the comments section about a car a JaCG reader purchased. Here are a few recent ones...
1962 Rover P5 4 Door Coupé - Original post. Trevor has purchased two cars featured on JaCG. He also bought the Isuzu Bellel I featured back in July, 2009."JACG will be surprised that after finding his blog once I bought the Isuzu Bellel, I also bought the Rover P5."
"The P5 is about the condition from the pictures. And is about 95-98% there. But I've barely had time to look over it. The body is shot, but that's to be expected; the leather will have to be replaced, an I have no idea about the mechanical parts (they seem to all be there, even the crank)."
You can visit Trevor's Flickr page to see a few more pictures of the Rover and the Isuzu.

1959 Fiat 1100 Station Wagon - Original post."I have this car I purchased it for$200.00 and cost me around 400.00 to tow it back to Illinois. It is being restored. The interior was missing the rear fold-down seat,the engine that was out of the car was not the correct fiat 1100 engine, a rebuilt 1400cc dohc will be installed restored, body work has been completed I probably won't do Ferrari red but something closer the to original colors this car will live again, George"

1967 Fiat 500 Limo - Original post. We still don't know who bought this car, but JaCG reader, Keith, sent some history... "Honest to god, Herve Villechaize aka Fantasy Island, used/owned this Fiat 500 limo, it was auctioned off either by the studio or by the estate of Mr.Villechaize many years ago, after he commited suicide with a rather large hand gun. The car was last seen in Norco,CA in the 1990s era. I have a color picture of what it looked like when I saw it in Norco, resplendent with gold plated hub caps no less."
That picture is below...
There are many more stories like these on the site, but I could only get through about 500 comments before my eyes started to glaze. I'll post other "follow ups" as I find them.
