“Very happy to have won this e12. I owned a 1980 528i for 12.5 years until it was crushed by a massive oak tree limb. The e12 is my favorite car in the world.”

“Dad had a Del Ray Skylounger when we were kids. The bunk above the cab could be made into seats. We loved riding up there (no such thing as seat belts, of course).”

“That fuse panel is as good as it gets for 48 years old, no wiring hacks, clean relay blocks, no signs of burnt fuse terminals. And all the fuse positions have the correct fuse in them, and fuse 13 is supposed to be empty. Gotta love the hand-painted stripes on many of the wires, these early cars are full of little easter eggs like that.
Definitely worth the hassle of getting the pics to instill bidder confidence!”

“IMO….The best wagon ever produced for the money….If serviced and maintained properly, these are pretty much bullet proof….Mine is a black metallic 6 speed with atacama with 205K miles and it drives like it left the factory yesterday!”

Paschal commented on 2004 Volvo V70R 6-Speed

“Mr. Tardel should get AMT to issue a 1/25th scale plastic model of this car. Then I can have one and use up my old tube of Testors glue from 1963.”

lovecars commented on Vern Tardel–Built, 255 Flathead-Powered ’32 Ford Highboy Roadster 3-Speed

“Oh my God. To find any of these with their original police equipment is one thing. But to find one that was basically never driven? Unheard of.”

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

“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 !!!
Dean”

“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!”

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

“Formula for years, worked in secrecy with Mercury and designed the 500 Super Sport Crossover expressly for the new 600-hp Mercury Verado V12.
It was the first boat fitted with these innovative V-12 motors that had a fixed powerhead and a rotating lower unit.
I saw the original factory black hulled SSC at Soverel Harbor in Palm Beach Gardens when it first hit the water,
Spent some time talking with the crew, admiring the boat and the serious Mercury motors the likes of which I’d never seen…”

RussR commented on 2023 Formula 500 Super Sport Crossover

“I love this car – the color is one of my top choices – and that interior … so cool and unique – I have a ’74 GTS and as others here have said the driving experience is special – so low to the ground with the motor humming on your shoulder – hypnotic – GLWTA”

neelfryer commented on 1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS

“There are two of us in the USA (that we know of) that have Turkis Coupes, me being one of them. No matter where I drive, I get thumbs up and comments about what an amazing color this is and how well it compliments the smooth curvy lines of an E9. This example looks nearly perfect, and the seller is THE source of E9 expertise. You can buy this car with the utmost of confidence, and join Club Turkis! You won’t be disappointed! GLWTA!”

“Alfredo’s Foreign Cars in Larchmont, NY never closed. I bought many Alfas from that dealership from the 1960’s on, the most recent my ’23 Stelvio. During the period when Alfa temporarily stopped selling in cars in the USA, Alfredo’s was the one of the few dealers that maintained its official Alfa Romeo dealer parts and service.”
