    “So, I’m 16 years old and it’s 1972 and my dad had an investment advisor come to our house. I hear a loud car approaching and it’s a Mangusta! I’d never seen one before in the flesh. Only in car magazines, and it was like a UFO landed from another planet! As a car obsessed kid since I can remember, I went outside and walked all around that car, taking in every sinuous line. When the meeting with my dad was over, the guy let me sit in the Mangusta. I remember that day like it was yesterday…”

    “There are so many things in life that we want, but really don’t need !!!
    I love classic time pieces and its amazing to see the value in something like a “Paul Newman Rolex Daytona” and the price someone is willing to pay to own one. Half the fun of owning something like this is coming up with an excursion to utilize it !!! We only go around this crazy world once, and spending a weekend with friends and family playing with this “toy” is worth the price of admission !!!
    Very cool. I have a…”

    “These aged so well. When new,I preferred the 300ZXTT. 30 years on, it is Supra by a mile. Although there’s much to be said about the FD RX-7, I’ll always give the nod to the car with the legendarily stout engine over the “finicky” one!”

    “Hello Fellow Pantera Fans!
    Welcome to the auction for my buddy Jim’s killer ’72 Pantera, chassis #4013. Jim had been looking for a Pantera for a long time, and with my history of owning and restoring many over the years, I was helping in that search. So when this one came up we reviewed it and agreed it was the one he should buy.
    Of course, Jim is a perfectionist and loves to drive (usually quite fast!) so 4013, already and incredibly well sorted car, went through a very thorough…”

    “Great project – I would finish it as a road racer, preferably with a legal registration.
    I remember Dave Sturdevant from when I was involved with race cars, but it was a casual nod in the pits type of thing.
    This reminds me of a similar build that someone brought to the SCCA Runoffs at Road Atlanta in the late 80s. It ran in GT 4 or 5 and had a super complex suspension worked out in it. The party trick that they would do in the pits was to set it up off the ground on only three jack…”

    “This car brings back mixed memories, let me explain. I had heard about the new Dodge Daytona coming out so I went to the Dodge dealer to check them out. They had two on the lot, a blue non turbo version and a beautiful black turbo Z. I drove both and fell in love with the turbo Z. Of course I did! I was 19 years old and the car was pretty quick. The salesman told me that I didn’t qualify for the turbo financially, but he could do the non turbo. I had no interest. I told him if I couldn’t…”

    “Man, already at $4M before I could get my comment in….
    I want to thank the team at BaT for bringing us so far. It is amazing to cross the quarter million auctions milestone together.
    And a big thank you to the @1600veloce team for helping us mark the occasion with this beautiful 288. Anthony gets so much well-deserved credit, but it takes the whole team there to do the amazing things they do.
    And maybe my favorite part of BaT is that Lot #250,001, right behind this one, is a…”

    “I want to send a big congrats to the team @BaT for 250,000 listings! Kudos again to the team behind the scenes!
    Our team was so proud to be a part of this journey.
    @bringatrailer Randy I want to thank you for all the support and the fun ideas we have bounced off each other all these years. This listing like any listing, can be a bumper for an MG to a Halo Ferrari. It all belongs here. The best site, the best community.
    We discussed what type of car we would want to list. Well here…”

    1600veloce commented on Lot #250,000: 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO

    “These cars were so ahead of their time. Supercharged, intercooled, 4 wheel discs with ABS, IRS with adaptive damping, even pneumatic adjustable side bolsters. I still have my 35th anniversary 5 speed version, and it remains a pleasure to drive unlike most crude live axle domestics of the era.”

    “Power to weight for the win! This must about triple the horsepower from stock. I really like the angled exhaust exit and the great choice of wheels. The MOMO wheel is the finishing touch on this extremely tidy build.
    I’m already smiling just thinking about driving this street legal go-kart. Being behind the wheel of this would make my face hurt from happiness.
    GLWTA.”

    “The car is one thing, the person that Ken Block was is something else. Watching the video of him teaching his daughter how to do donuts shows a special person in love with live and his family.”

    “Cool car. Not many Sprints with the OHC six still running around. Might not be the fastest Firebird out there, but definitely one of the more interesting ones.”

    “The Shelby Shadows are the one Whittier issue I never owned. But I did have a Shadow ES 4dr with the VNT Turbo lV which is even more rare. The variable nozzle turbo was magic, with low RPM response and torque to match the top end. It was also brave of Garrett to put a dynamic turbo housing into a production car with the vicious heat cycle. Mine grenaded when fortunately I was able to find a complete new one off the shelf.
    @Craven Funny you call out the Sundance, one of my favorite cars…”

    “My Dad was always a “Buy American” guy, until his experiences with malaise-era GM and Chrysler K-cars finally convinced him to give Toyota a try. He bought an ’87 Camry — same generation as this one. It opened his eyes so wide that he bought another one in ’89, then one after the other in ’96, ’02, ’08, ’12 and ’14, When he passed, we took the ’12 and ’14 and traded it in for a ’19 for my Mom to drive. But it all started with this generation of Camry.”

    “We are so incredible grateful for the BaT community. Thank you to the members who have donated personally to help us serve foster youth! I can confirm every penny goes directly to the kids. Thank you to the Pitale family as well for their generosity and support.

    “This 1960 Riva Tritone has been beautifully refurbished and is in full working order, ready to enjoy on Lago di Garda, Lago di Como, Rapallo or perhaps the Great Lakes in the United States. Everything functions as it should and the boat presents in excellent condition throughout.
    A Riva Tritone is a rare combination of timeless design, Italian craftsmanship and sheer presence on the water. From the sparkling waters of Lake Tahoe to the elegant harbors of Sag Harbor, and from Lago di Iseo/…”
