“My family has been the proud steward of this remarkable 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham for nearly 70 years, and it has been one of our most treasured possessions. My father purchased this car new in 1957 as a gift to my mother, and it has been a part of our family’s story ever since.
My father, Ralph S. Peer, was a pioneering figure in the American music industry; the A&R executive behind some of the most historically significant recordings ever made, including Crazy Blues, the first…”

“The car that blasted through Porsche RR7 at Laguna Seca Raceway in Oct 2023. I could remember being invited to the unveiling of the GT3 R Rennsport. Patrick Long was introducing this beauty in the hot pits at Laguna Seca Raceway outside of garage 12. Great memories capturing this beauty through the crowd of enthusiasts and gear heads at 9:30 pm at night after day one of Porsche’s RR7. One of the best modern day GT cars by Metzger and Porsche.”

“A cool Ferrari moment I thought I would share, the Mondial was the only model Ferrari pope John Paul II was ever seen in. This picture comes from the Pope’s visit to the legendary Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy back in 1988. He later celebrated Mass at the Fiorano Circuit racetrack. Instead of traveling in the regular Popemobile that day, the Pope took a ride in one of the Ferraris that was waiting for him at the factory. The mondial remains an icon with timeless pininfarina lines, mid…”

“This is about as thoughtful of a build as they come. The TJM T17 is the best aftermarket bumper in my opinion. I’m curious about the Kenwood touch screen – I’ve got an ’03, and am not familiar with this navigation delete.”

“So here’s a little story about why I bid on this car. Our family owns this car’s exact twin, but a 2008 model. Our daughter bought it from us to take to college, and named it Joe. Joe has been a faithful member of our family and now has about 190,000 miles, plus lots of bumps and bruises. Our daughter loves Joe and couldn’t imagine driving any other car. But Joes needs some TLC. When this car came up, it seemed like a sign. It literally is Joe, but with a small fraction of the miles…”

“Ridgelines have quite a following.
In fact there is an online forum dedicated specifically to the Honda Ridgeline (https://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/).
My personal belief is that they are so robust and long lived because they utilize proven engines, transmissions (mostly), AWD design, and even body engineering.
They’re not mechanically high strung, cutting edge, uber fashionable vehicles.
You’re getting solid engineering and time-proven design.
Just the kind of vehicle you can picture…”

“I went to school in Caterham – walked by the small factory everyday, and saw them out on demo runs – made myself a promise that I would own one.
Mine’s a 2002 Duratec 2.3l, 5-speed Quaife gearbox, De Dion with LSD rear.
Try this pronunciation as “K8RUM” as one word.”

“Combating the maintenance scaries with an impressive log of care.
From VW’s golden era. This being on the lot next to the MKIV .:R32 and V10 TDI Touareg is as good as it’ll get.”

“Hello BaT! I’m the builder and seller of this E30, and I’ll be here throughout the auction to answer any questions and provide additional photos or videos if requested.
This project began as an effort to build an electric E30 that felt like a proper driver’s car rather than simply an EV conversion. Nearly every component was selected with that goal in mind—from the Tesla Plaid drive unit and custom battery system to the suspension, brakes, and chassis upgrades.
After the build was…”

“By the time this particular Fulvia was built, Fiat had owned Lancia long enough to have begun incorporating some profit-motivated changes. I spent a lot of time at the Lancia display at the Turin Auto Show in 1972, and following that wrote an article for the LANCIANA, the American Lancia Club newsletter. Some things I noted were “…the paint and overall finish is better than ever. Suspension bits are stampings now, rather than the nice hardware that we’re used to.. Plastic clips replace the…”

“Funny story – I was trying to find a correct new radiator cap for the TR4. I had gotten one from a British parts supplier, but it didn’t fit correctly. I grabbed my identical radiator from my project TR4 and went to the local parts stores to see what they had. Total strikeout. I went to Panda Express with TR4 radiator caps on my mind and got this fortune cookie. I immediately sent a picture of it to my wife saying “Looks like I’m getting another car!”.”

“Anyone buying an RX7 that’s been sitting for a long time should assume it needs apex seals unless proven otherwise. The dash and radio are lit up in some pics, so the car has electrical power. I’m guessing lack of power is the result of a few horses escaping the engine bay.
This FD is quite tempting. I have a few solutions for lack of power sitting in the corner of the shop ;)”

“I own a higher mileage AZ-1 just like this. It is awesome. Obviously the new owner will likely keep this stock, but upgrading the suspension to the Navic coilovers and adding a stiffer roll bar front and back dramatically changed the handling. It went from leaning SUV in the corners to go-kart. Just my 2 cents.”

“@sy1616 ………The 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300 Sc Einspritzmotor Coupe was special and important for its combination of cutting-edge technology, superior luxury, and extreme rarity, which cemented Mercedes-Benz’s return to the top echelon of global luxury automakers after World War II.
Mechanical innovation:
The “Einspritzmotor” (German for “injection engine”) designation on the car’s rear bumper signified its most important technical feature.
Mechanical fuel injection: The 300 Sc borrowed…”

“A United Airlines pilot that lived across the street from us when I was a teenager had a 12 cylinder E-Type coupe he bought new. Easy to look at and great sounds. But THIS car has all the modern goodies with no Lucas Electrics gremlins and all the modern upgrades plus a spotless and powerful Ed Pink motor. This would be the Jag I would own. Exceptional build and beautiful car. GLWTA !”

We told you about Bill’s event raising money for Special Olympics. It’s called All Italian Day and it’s October 11th this year (https://www.alfaromeoassociation.org/content.aspx?page_id=4091&club_id=233974&item_id=2902395).
For several years we designed the t-shirt for the event. One of the last years I did the design, I felt we had to honor Bill and this wonderful car.

I’ve wanted the right E46 M3 for a long time, and I’m excited this Laguna Seca Blue example will be joining my garage. It will be well cared for and enjoyed. Thanks again!”

“Can’t believe the options on this one, it has factory Recaros before the ‘is’ was a thing. Plus the sport wheel, sunroof, and it’s in one of the best blues that BMW put on their in the 70s.
