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

    “Welcome to my first BaT listing! You might be surprised to see it’s a Dart, not a Valiant, but I have a thing for all A-body Mopars. I’m listing this cool Dart for a friend as I suggested putting it on BaT and he is not as familiar with the way it goes.
    I’ve known the car for some years and from the first time I saw it have been admiring the details and workmanship. The owner/builder is a talented fabricator, machinist and welder. Anyone who has seen my comments here probably realizes I…”

    “Before today I didn’t even know that I wanted a 1962 Buick Special station wagon! Strange…”

    “The childhood memories are strong with this one! GM Design did an excellent job of evolving the colonnade coupes for Buick and Oldsmobile toward the sheer look that began with the ’75 Seville. The Cutlass was the best selling car in the USA in 1976 with nearly 500K units produced. A neighbor had one in this color with bucket seats and I was thrilled to get a ride now and then. This interior is bonkers peak ’70s — I thought the “geometric weave” loose pillow luxe upholstery was only available…”

    “Who needs a $80k Suburban when you can have a 1970 Country Squire?”

    “I have learned Ford did offer a 427ci Auto Trans 1968 Cougar but soon after they replaced that engine with the 428ci Cobra Jet. Wow… this is huge! What a find to locate it here. Some lucky bidder will get a vary rare beautiful automobile.”

    “Where was I in ‘’62?
    Shopping for my first new car ..In those golden years of American muscle cars my choices were daunting …Chevy 409/409, Ford 406/405, Pontiac 421/405, Dodge/Plymouth 413/420.
    I ruled out the Mopars for their very quirky looks. Our family car was a ‘60 Bonneville convertible so I was leaning toward the Pontiac but my local dealer was reluctant to sell me what was considered an all out race car. After much haggling I ordered a 421/405 SD but it was late summer and…”

    “What a nice old car, I love survivors – they are 10x harder to find than a restored example, and this one, in THE most desirable closed body style; a Club Sedan with the blind quarter panels, is fantastic ! As the owner of a very similar ‘36 Packard – also in original paint, pinstripe and plating, but a convertible coupe, I can certainly appreciate this one, and I love it with the black wall tires, tho I’d look for some one size larger. Was there ever a radio installed ? Doesn’t appear to…”

    “I love brown cars, probs because my mom’s car when I was a kid was a 1970 Tobacco Brown MB 250 base model. No A/C, but it did have a sunroof. I learned how to drive in that car by driving it across the USA when we moved from Cleveland to Colorado Springs in 1977 on a learner’s permit. CB radio keeping contact with my dad in the 1970 Ford Country Squire pulling the Argosy 26′ travel trailer. Memories baby, that’s what cars are.”

    “So publicly… …not 930…
    …and not 930 Turbo…
    not even 911 turbo!
    or even 930 Turbo!
    …or even 911 Turbo or Turbo Carrera or Turbo 3.0!
    …just…
    “turbo””

    Symbolic_International commented on 1975 Porsche 930 Turbo

    “@CForrest 1975 MY 930 was RoW and were badged simply “Turbo”. The “Turbo Carrera” badging was for US version cars starting in 1976 MY.
    Anyone seriously considering a 930 of this vintage should refer to Ryan Snodgrass’s award winning book Turbo 3.0, it is the reference standard for these cars. If you don’t own a copy, buy it. GLWTA!”

    “Wow! This has been a dream for years. I grew up riding in the back of a 1971 FJ40 with top off camping throughout Nevada with my family. Can’t wait to show my Dad, but probably won’t tell him what I paid for it!”

    “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.”
