“Oh my… The road trip to bring this to the PNW will be EPIC.”
“Absolutely beautiful! It’s been a local car to me my whole life, even with the move. Unfortunately we’ve never crossed paths. Hopefully a new owner is found and enjoys it like Mr Waite did for 60 years!”

“Thank you @mbaum – I’m excited about this opportunity to channel my inner Dustin Hoffman! This car will soon be enjoying the hills and curves on the Blue Ridge Parkway and hopefully some long distance road trips.”

“You should definitely join us next year @PDXBryan and so should lucky new winner of this wagon. The Boston Cup event will give you the perfect chance to enjoy the city and travel that week and enjoy the change in seasons nicely.
A friend in Toronto bought this car’s twin for his daughter to use while in college in BC. She made several trips regularly each year back and forth before giving it back to him and moving to the UK for work. The car had just over 100K kilometers when I visited…”

“I daily drove a very similar example for about a year and 13,000 miles – same year, 6 speed, RWD, ZSP, no nav.
I still think about it ALL the time. Out of the 20+ BMWs I’ve owned (including *four other E91s*, that one was one of my favorites and by far my favorite E91.
IMO, the miles aren’t that scary. Do the clutch/flywheel, but you shouldn’t have any other notable issues otherwise. A 3 stage manifold would be a nice add-on as well. This car is also pretty close to a stripper spec…”

“I had a ’68 for almost 20 years. I personally feel that the early SWB is the loveliest iteration of the 911, ever: cleanest lines, sublime, reductive design. 1968 has a bunch of “year-only” features that make it extra cool. Good luck to whoever wins this beauty and whatever you do afterwards, update this car to carrera chain tensioners immediately. It’s an easy upgrade and will save your engine when the original tensioners fail, which they definitely will. Awesome car!”

“Agree with @NVGT350. A Marti Report would be great to see how rare this spec actually is – a loaded GT ‘vert with power everything, leather, 3.08 (Z) axle, leather, premium stereo w/EQ, but no factory A/C. A very neat Fox body time capsule here. GLWA!”

“What a great story, thanks for sharing…
Also great to see these old cars getting used, dirty and maybe a rock-chip memory or two…
That Gulf Livery 911 was spotted by me on Fathers Day coming down from Pinecrest last year.
It was my first time taking my daughter on an annual camping trip my wifes family has been doing for years. Wife doesn’t like camping so after years of declining the invite, I decided my daughter was old enough to give ‘glamping’ a shot as an entry into another…”

“Back when BMW Car Club of America was still young and Hoffman Motors was the sole U.S. Distributor, it was the club members who offered guidance to BMW owners regarding things to watch out for. One such piece of advice was to avoid purchase of BMWs with two-stage metallic paint due to failure of the clear coat.
Complaints ranged from dulling, checking to llifting and separation of large clear coat sections on all horizontal surfaces — hood, roof and decklid. After numerous complaints,…”

“Gotta love ❤️ 84.9 CENT/gal gas on 10 JAN 1994. Seriously, this 2nd Gen (1992) Honda Wagon is virtually identical to the one our family drove from that year to 2009 with zero issues. It was the reason I got another white 1993, virtually identical to this one, on BaT recently to relive the best car ever. It actually has a little “Grannymobile” sticker on the rear window. GLWTA!”

“My wife drove one in high school and college that was identical to this one. Her mom drove it before that. Someone hit her and totaled it right before I met her and she still talks about it daily. Gonna be a great addition.”

“In 1978, just after graduating from college, I held three jobs, waiter in a restaurant, a raft guide in nearby West Virginia, and a luthier. I would work in my wood studio from monday-friday and then hop in my old volvo with my lab to drive to WVA for my Saturday work on the New or Gauley river, then back on Sunday for my 12 hour shift at the Virginian in Charlottesville.
As a 24 year old I had all the energy in the world. In those days the interstate had not yet been completed in WVA so I…”

“Hi everyone, I bought this incredible 850 with the intention on keeping it forever. Plans change and unfortunately it’s time to part ways. I have had an amazing past year with this car but by far the highlight has to be the road trip home from Calgary to Florida. Instead of heading straight back we headed west thru Banff, Vancouver, Olympic National Park, Redwoods, Monterey Car Week, and Yosemite. I picked up a mattress from Ikea and slept in the back the whole way. 10 days, 5,100 miles and 0…”

“66 is considered a lucky number in various cultures, including Chinese culture, where it symbolizes smooth progress and harmony in relationships. In numerology, it is associated with love, balance, and nurturing partnerships. It’s also a darn fine C2 year!

“In my opinion the textbook definition of a Mercedes-Benz modern classic. This 1991 model is hands down the nicest example I have seen in the last 30 years.
If Bruno Sacco is considered in artist, the C126 is his “Sistine Chapel”.
Best of luck !!!
