“I would argue the GMT800 is one of the best platforms GM has ever made. You just can’t kill them.”
“Indeed, E46 M3 is one of the best driver’s cars ever made and perfect for a DD.”

“I don’t think Frankenstein is an issue in Aston Martin world. Many are upgraded to Vantage spec, many DB4/5/6 are built to 4.7 Vantage spec. Like Panteras and aircooled Porsches, there’s no shame in that. I think it’s only in the US musclecar world that originality is a MUST. I think that’s because there were so many made and so many customised in the day, that originality is their only rare virtue. But with a car that only 3,500 were made in a 22 year production run, sympathetic modifications…”

“On my dog walks about once every two weeks, only on sunny days, a 442 that looks to be identical to this car drives by me. I’ve yet to be able to check out the car up close. The sound of that car is amazing. The look of that car is amazing. snap my neck following it as it goes by. Probably one of the best looking cars in my town, and there are plenty of nice cars. These cars wear yellow really well. The tasteful black stripe accents are icing on the cake. Necking snappingly beautiful. Like…”

“The duck walks into a bar by himself and sits down on a stool.
The bartender none-too-happy walks over and stares at the duck.
The duck stares back… both glare at each other for a few moments.
No words are spoken until finally the duck speaks up and says.
Sunday’s the famers day off…”

“Ditto to that! Awesome look. Have a 93 myself and live in Austin.
Pearl Black 199 with gray interior and 120,000 miles. Have had sine 101,000 miles and about 3 years. Awesome ride.
What is the history of the car pre 2009?
How about service records?
Where was it serviced in Austin? Ben’s?
I’ll be out of town on a e500 road trip from Austin to Midwest to northeast and southeast then back early August.
This car was made for the road!
Even getting 20 mph!
Looking forward to seeing where…”

“In the mid 80’s I was driving my 1977 Porsche 930 home from O’Hara airport to Elgin, IL on I90 taking the Barrington Road offramp when I happened to look in my rear view mirror to find it completely filled with a Lambo Countach that appeared not have a driver. Then a thick arm came out the window pointing for me to turn right at Barrington Road. Then the Lambo passed me and turned right with the arm coming out again point left to turn on a country road. Seemed pretty evident what the driver…”

“I’m the previous owner that purchased this off of BAT earlier this year. I’ve owned a lot of cars and this car is one of the best. It will not disappoint! The only reason it left my collection is because I traded several vehicles to Parin on a larger purchase. I loved the car bc it reminded me of the older Ferraris and Lamborghinis without the mechanical headache and all the creature comforts of a modern car. Nothing to pick on this one. It’s ready to drive and enjoy at a fraction of the…”

“@MikeDrew what a truly wonderful comment and such a joy to read your first hand memories from the De Tomaso factory. Thank you for sharing this with all of us, it adds so much depth to the story of the Guarà.
You are absolutely right, this is the BMW powered version with the additional gear setup to align engine and gearbox. Early cars had the straight-cut gears and the later cars the helical gears, this Guarà Spyder fitted with the latter as you can softly hear in the driving video.…”

“WOW! I’m exhausted. Congratulations ttscout. I hope it meets all your expectations and then some. Excited to work with you to get the details done.
Thank you for all the comments, questions, compliments and interest.
I’ve now been on both sides of a BAT auction. Both are equally exciting, fun and nerve wracking. I need a beer.”

“Lauterbach hulls are indeed special as is the family. Thanks for the heads up about the book and reunion. If there was a way to get to the event it sure would be fun.
Back in the 1970’s on Seattles Green Lake were some special times. We would sit on the beach with a battery operated B&W 2 inch TV screen watching Indy and at the same time enjoy the boat races. Some hard core racing with Larry Lauterbach and then Tom D’Eath piloting Lauterbach hulls against John Leach’s Buccaneer.…”

“My great grandmother was one of the first VW owners in Montana. I think she was on her third VW when she purchased one just like this, same color, in 1962-63, from the dealer in Butte. By this time, my great grandfather had stopped driving, so she drove them everywhere. One road trip took them west to Seattle, down through San Francisco and finally to Phoenix before heading back home via the Grand Canyon and other sights. Quite an adventure–but just one of many–for two old fuddies in a…”

“I love that this has 19k miles. Someone has actually enjoyed it. 500+hp in late 80s/early 90s must have felt like you were on top of the world. Even by today’s standards, 500hp is still very enjoyable.”
