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

    “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.…”

    “I truly appreciate all of the thoughtful comments along the way. The collective expertise of the community is both helpful and part of the fun! I realize that from a collector’s point of view, this may not be ideal. However, I buy them to drive, and it would feel bad buying a perfect spec collector’s car and driving it as hard as I plan to do. The alternative would have been to find a donor car, and either build it myself or take it to a resto mod shop. This one is already done and ready…”

    “Having an Arnage was on my bucket list for a very long time and after years trying to find a 2009 I was finally able to get one about 4-5 years ago. It was worth the wait. Just being inside it is a special occasion. It became my daily driver for a while and I always caught myself finding excuses to go places so I could drive it.
    On a funny note, every time I’m on a 4-way stop people wait for me to go first. I think they just want to stare at the Arnage. People love it.
    If you are true car…”

    “Super excited. I have a twin of this car in the driveway, save for wood trim vs. carbon fiber and over 275,000 miles on the odometer. If I get even half that much more fun out of this one, I’ll feel pretty blessed.”

    “Wonderful handling wagons. If well maintained the drivetrain will last well past 200k miles. Most common issues are door panel fabric detachment, interior plastic scratching, exterior door window rubber degradation, and infotainment electronic glitches. Anyone who says they should have offered this with the six has never driven one. For its intended market the 2.4 is more than adequate to move the wagon at a comfortably fast pace and the five speed auto is well matched to the engine. For those…”

    Serialcollector commented on Ex–Viper Team ORECA 1999 Chrysler Viper GTS-R

    “I was 13, accompanying my dad when he drove his ’76 308 GTB Vetroresina to Los Gatos Ferrari for a service appointment. I wandered into the showroom, saw the F355’s… and right smack dab in the middle of the room was this car. Not this exact same one, but an Azure Blue-over-Magnolia Esprit V8. I had never even heard of Lotus before that moment, but I was mesmerized. I sat in the driver’s seat, smelled the leather, saw the red V8 in back… and suddenly forgot that I was surrounded by yellow…”

    Best wishes.”

    “What a neat rig with an incredible pedigree! And you won’t need to bring a trailer because it’s too precious. Just drive it home and enjoy it.
    I don’t have a lot to add on top of what others have said about Harold Allen except to say that many years ago I came into a collection of his Stroppe-related photos from Ford Motor Company and I’m forever grateful for those.
    I think this is the only Bronco I know of that was owned by one of Ford’s off road racing stars that has come to market in…”

    He obviously cherished this BRG beauty!
    Cheers!”

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

    “A Christmas wish, a dream of speed and grace,
    No simple toy beneath the tinsel’s shine,
    But a Chiron Bugatti to leave its trace,
    A masterpiece of power, wholly divine.
    The price tag high, a fortune vast to pay,
    For roaring engines and the scent of leather new,
    Upon this joyful, gift-receiving day,
    A gleaming marvel, in a stunning hue.
    Beneath the tree, no socks nor simple game,
    But keys in hand to unlock might untold,
    To feel the rush, the engine’s rising flame,
    A Christmas…”

    “I’ll add a brief perspective here as someone who has worked on and flown a wide range of aircraft.
    For background, I’m an A&P with Inspection Authorization (IA), with nearly two decades of experience in airline maintenance, and I currently fly the Boeing 767. I’m also a general aviation aircraft owner and have owned and operated a GA maintenance shop.
    I’m familiar with Lil’ Red and her maintenance history, and I’ve reviewed and observed the work that’s been performed on…”

    “Our family thanks all of you for checking out our car and for the fun and informative dialogue this week. It will be a bittersweet moment to say goodbye to this piece of history. Our hope is for this ol’ girl to have her story told and her former glory restored. We congratulate the future auction winner of the 56’ Imperial Convertible project. We can’t wait to see her roll down the street, top down, and HEMI purring once again! Best of luck to all the bidders.”

    “Awesome! Thanks @cbjeep and team for saving it, but not overdoing it. I really appreciate the BaT community’s comments throughout this auction; they really helped me form a more fulsome picture of the car. The debate on condition is always entertaining, and really a personal preference thing. To me, this is as cool as it gets: a (nearly) guilt-free driver with character that’s impossible to replicate. It will look great next to Freiburger’s Disgustang!”

    “Nice to see car I built in the 80sdid all metal and paint for John did what he wanted. Twisted my arm hard to modify being I like to restore to original builds. But John had a dream and I did for him. Have pictures of me doing car. Great comment tempting to want in my shop again. Would love to talk to John but believe he has passed. Maybe talk to mercuryKG7H some time. So blessed I had my hands in a beautiful fine Ferrari. Frogman.”

    “This surprises me! Examples individualized to this extent and enthusiast level usually stay with their owner forever, but life moves on. Someone will be walking right into a seriously perfect M3 right off the rip!”
