“We had the paint shop “Marauder” line at STAP I had the opportunity to work on these beautiful cars. There were about 8 of us on 2 shifts that made certain that they were gone over with a fine tooth comb!! Often they were sent through clear coat x2 so they were perfectly done! We would hang a heavy metal washer from a wire inside the car from body shop so everyone knew it was a Marauder. They were signed off by 3 different people before they got shipped to chassis!”

“At the age of 74 and having owned almost 200 cars over that span, I enjoyed many different cars, many muscle cars back in the 70’s when they were several years old and pretty much worn out by then…still tons of fun, I also owned several sports cars two Spitfires, and a ’63 Austin Healey Sprite, and three Fiat 850 spiders. But one of the few cars I always dreamed of was a TR6. Never had the money when a deal came along. I hope the winner will be as excited to drive this as I would have been…”

“As an owner of an exceptional example like this one all I can say is it is about time these cars get their due! There is nothing like them for comfort on the road today. Absolutely one of a kind. Great auction seller!”

“My heart is racing. Thank you for the kind comments my fellow friends and bidders! I am so excited to add this beauty to the garage. This car will be driven as intended and not stuck in a collection!”

“To anyone that thinks “wagons aren’t cool”, I give you Exhibit A to destroy that line of thinking!”

“As a young couple we had a 1964 122sw from Massachusetts was which perfect given my tip income as a student & bartender. We ran it until the 225,000 mile mark and sold it for more than we paid for it. This restoration corrects for all of my Volvos obsolescence or weaknesses; larger engine; better fuel delivery; rust remediation, nice interior and respectable paint job. This one is a keeper! Thanks for posting.”

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

“This is a sweet ’69 El Camino L78… no vinyl top! Could have been used to drag race or simply used to pull a boat down to the river. With the pin-striping that was removed, my guess, it was sparingly used to launch a Sanger flat-bottom boat with a built 427.
😉”

“I had the absolute pleasure of being parked next to this vehicle at the BaT concours d’elegance in Elkhart Lake on Saturday evening, and I must say: this car somehow looks even better in person. I am in and out of a ton of aircooled Porsches in a professional capacity, and this may be the nicest 911SC I’ve ever seen. It’s obvious after talking to the seller that they took their time to refurbish the car the correct way – with the love and care this fine example deserves.
Somebody is going to…”

Edelweiss_Autowerks commented on 43-Years-Family-Owned 1979 Porsche 911SC Coupe

“There were two icons of the late 1980s for me: the Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk2 16V and the Lancia Delta Integrale 16V.
If you grew up like I did in the 1980s there’s a good chance you were obsessed with one—or both.
The GTI was the benchmark hot hatch, while the Integrale was the rally-bred legend that dominated the world stage. Different personalities, yet both became automotive icons that defined a generation of enthusiasts.
It’s so cool to see a well-sorted GTI 16V again. Seeing one…”

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

“The original owner of this Maserati was Stan Nowak, more famous as one of the earliest of the Ferrari historians here in the States. He told me decades ago he took delivery in West Nyak but sold it just a few months later to raise money for an early Ferrari that had recently been uncovered.
He told me to keep an eye out for it and said it would be easy to find by the chassis number “502.”
He passed away not long thereafter and I never did track it down until about ten years ago when I…”

“Literally the perfect Jeep to ‘bomb’ around in. The detail-overload here is fabulous!
To paraphrase Forrest Gump, Life is like Bring A Trailer. You never know what you’re gonna find.
WOW.”

“I am beyond excited. My dad owned a 1974 TR6 in this same color when I was a kid. I learned to drive on it. It is going to a good home.”

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

“I remember the day when, “stock car” races, the cars had to be stock. So each manufacturer made a special super car and produced only 2000 of then, just so they could race them. I wish they still did this.”

kodpkd commented on Ex–Richard Petty 1970 Plymouth Superbird

“The best color and the best year to own.
Road trip? This is the car you want. Need to do a Costco run for a family gathering of 100 people? The Impala trunk has you covered!
Some of the best air conditioning and heat you’ll ever encounter in a car.
And if you desire more power you can do what I’m doing now after 13 years of ownership. Lloyd Elliot heads and cam for some more fun. 🙂
GLWA and I hope the next owner puts some proper mileage on this beast.”

Sedancollector commented on 388-Mile 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS

“I been looking for one for the past decade. This means the world to me. Thanks for the fun guys. I’m stoked to pick this up.”
