    A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

    “Thank you all for your interest in my dad’s GTV.
    That car holds a lifetime of memories for me. I still remember riding home in the passenger seat at age six as my dad brought it back from Larchmont, NY — and him telling me to stop playing with all the buttons and knobs. Years later, I turned over the odometer somewhere on 395 South in Connecticut, driving it to impress the woman who would become my wife. And most recently, during the COVID years, Dad and I brought it to Giovanni and Kathy…”

    “When I was a kid my Dad heard on the radio a promotion by Pitcairn Honda in Langhorn PA. It said, “come test drive the new Honda and register to win an ounce of Gold.” They must have changed their mind or it was a mistake, as the ad only ran once to my knowledge. So my Dad and I headed up to the dealer which was only 15 min away. I don’t think I actually got to ride in the car because it was to small. Then my Dad said he wanted to register for the gold. It was closing time and everyone in…”

    “When it’s cold, I like to go down in the basement, and sit in the Factory 5 Roadster, that my Dad and I built. He’s been gone 6 years now, and I still think about him, every single day.
    Listening to the driving video, I can close my eyes, and see Dad, driving his car, that we built, smiling from ear to ear.
    Thanks for listing this gorgeous car, @Stables_Group . It is gorgeous and sounds incredibly good.”

    “@JMKClassic BRAVO! Thanks for sharing and reminding me how awesome these cars really are. My first car I took delivery Dec 10th 2004 after watching the Ford commercial “THE ONE” over and over and had to have it. My first drive was to take a friend, who said I couldn’t scare her, a drive through Memorial Park that leads to the highway. As I got on the entrance ramp to the 610 Loop, I took it to 60 in 1st gear and when I hit second, at 60, the tires LIT UP!! I was amazed and hit 3rd at about 110.…”

    “I started with Cadillac in 1957 and after working on and around the 57,58 and 59 models I thought, at the time, this was the most beautiful Cadillac we had EVER built. I still fell that way today. Lucky me that I had the opportunity work on and around them. Beautiful fit and finish and they ran so well. I helped out a few times in the Cadillac Executive Garage where these cars were prepared and stored for the factory retail deliveries. The new owners were treated royally including a personal…”

    “Hi this is Phyllis Yes. I bought the car back because I couldn’t sleep thinking
    that the paint might be taken off. It will be donated to a museum for all to enjoy.”

    “Toyota really built them well back in the day. Not only that, but they’re not too big, not too small and look good. New owner will be happy. GLWTA”

    “I own the same car, even down to the 1592 twin cam and automatic transmission. It was built 6,028 cars later than this one, currently has 178,408 miles, and is our daily driver. I got it from the original owner’s family, and am technically the 4th caretaker. Since I also specialize in Fiats, I have serviced it mostly from new.
    We take it on club tours, and it’s comfortable at an indicated 70+ mph. In 2024 we won worst in class at the concours d’lemons in Seaside California, and last year we…”

    “My son was racing our Datsun roadster in D Production one of the times Paul ran in the same class at Daytona. He wandered up to our crew working on our roadsturd. His crew had sent him to borrow a multimeter. He would just show up and pay the late regristration fees so everyones crew wouldn’t be packed with “crew” there just to catch a look at him as a star. I think he enjoyed just being one of us club racers. Very pleasant to talk to. He wasn’t in a hurry to get back to his crew who might have…”

    “@hmondragon1 when these awesome Marauders were introduced I was working for Ford and had the pleasure of using one as a loaner from Ford Motor Company for a few weeks. It was an unbelievable car and I drove it all around Southern California and to Vegas and back. It felt like I was driving a hot rodded couch! Although I was looking for a new ride at the time, I ended out buying a 2003 Mach 1 which I also love to death.
    My wife and I both love this car, but as we all have experienced, she said I…”

    “I worked for AMC/Renault during development of this vehicle. Renault engineers would trailer them out to MIS (where I worked) and we would run top speed over and over and over after component and tuning changes. I don’t recall the top speed. I do remember that they would huddle around and discuss the current results and then ask us to make a change – then they would look at me and say, ‘encore, s’il vous plait”. It was a dirty job but someone had to do it.”

    “I’ve had a black/tan 78 matchbox car on my workdesk for many many years, this will be my first ‘real’ 911. The dream, is now realized. Looking forward to the adventure ahead.”

    “Behold the magic of BaT:
    We’ve got what’s likely the nicest ‘Wagon Queen Family Truckster’ replica ever made currently available and now we’ve got an extremely close-enough example of what Clark W. Griswold traded-in at Lou Glutz Motors with this ‘70 Vista Cruiser.

    “Tip..!
    The person who wins this auction and also every non bidder / winner genuinely interested in important car history should buy the 1990 book “Hans Ledwinka, Seine autos sein leben”. Currently there is one offered on the internet at only 173 us.Even though it is in german,the pictures and technical drawings tell an interesting story. I myself triggered by this auction got the book out of my library just now and even got a bit nostalgic realising that its 60 plus year ago on a hitchhike…”
