    “I am just imagining the amount of time in sourcing all of the proper items from clamps and hardware hoses plating to recreating spot welds. The sheer amount of time would be daunting. @groceg summed up very well in his post.
    I for one I am glad bring a trailer posts are archived and available for reference.
    No need to say good luck with the auction. More of a need to congratulate the future caretaker, complement the work done, and the seller.”

    “My first car was a 1979 5 door GLE in this same color combo… it was 1987 in Syracuse NY, so there was already rust starting to consume the rear end of that beauty. I drove the hell out of that car lugging amps and guitars to gigs in high school. By the time I graduated in 1989 the rust won and I sold it to a guy who raced SAABs on a frozen lake nearby… her engine and those glorious front red-ish bucket seats went on to live their best life racing in ice rally’s! Her “GLE” badge still…”

    “Hidden mods to make it pleasantly drivable in the modern world are brilliant. The New Hampshire shore is perfectly suited for a top-down cruise but to be long enough add some inland winding roads through fields and forest. One of my favorite places in the world.
    My Mom in Exeter, near Rye, lived to be nearly 102 and enjoyed being taken on the same shoreline drive every weekend till the end. She and my Dad were avid and skilled sailors and she loved to gaze out at the whitecaps and gulls…”

    “Thank you all for the kind words. I had told my wife yesterday that I didn’t win, since the bid was on 25k already. Thru a last dish effort andd what do you know, I got it. This Super will be the companion to my 1970 GTV 1750 in LeMans Blue. As a DIYer I can’t wait to give it a once over. All the Alfisty out there can be assured that this ’73 Super is in good hands.”

    “I saw the cover photo and said, ‘ooooh.’
    Now this is pretty.
    Is it fair to say that these are just below the playing field of a PORSCHE 356?
    These early low light GHIAS exude so much class and elegance.
    The lines, the colors, the styling. Everything about these is pure class.
    I am an early Beetle guy who always wanted a PORSCHE 356 to fulfill my Late Fathers dream but way they are out of my league. This might be the next best thing.
    Never give up on your dreams.”

    “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 spent 2 years restoring this car with the great guys at Universally Modified Performance. Also, a big shout at Extraordinaries Custom paint. They both did a great job. As a partner at Andretti Global, I had access to the greatest guys who know so much about this car. The majority of the parts on this car are original parts from michaels actual races in 1991. I worked with both Michael and Mario to make sure everything was as accurate as possible. It’s truly a big part of IndCar history.”

    “A well deserved love letter I might add. Congrats to the owner/builder on a job extremely well done. Visually and through his explanations, it looks and sounds like it truly was a labor of love. I’ll have to take his word that it isn’t a show car because it surely looks otherwise to me.”

    “On Thanksgiving eve of 1969 my father drove home a brand new 1970 SX. Rally red, white vinyl top, white bucket seats, sport steering wheel and side mirrors, etc. I was 17 at the time and still have it! Without my father’s knowledge, I immediately swapped the 2 barrel carb for the quadrant which really changed the performance. The drive train is bullet proof. Almost 57 years later and the engine still cranks right up and pulls like a horse! Our domestic cars from 65-71 were fabulous!”

    “I love seeing this bike. I was a young Motocross racer in the early seventies and would ride on occasion with Steve. I would often help him with his bike as he was by himself. This could easily be the bike I helped with. That was so long ago that I couldn’t possibly remember the bike’s details, but this looks right. He was a nice down to earth guy that I enjoyed riding with. My only concern as a kid was that I was faster than him. His celebrity status was just taking off back then. I should…”

    “Poster child for Toyota reliability, durability, ruggedness, ease of ownership all wrapped up in a perfectly sized no nonsense do it all pickup.
    Added bonus, respectable mpg and well mannered handling.”

    “These Ford GT’s are so much fun to drive, I took mine out this morning and the experience is almost indescribable. I have other supercars as well but the Ford GT is by far the best. Until you drive one you will never understand the why you need one of these in your collection. I do think they deserve to be DRIVEN!!!”
