“My wife drove one in high school and college that was identical to this one. Her mom drove it before that. Someone hit her and totaled it right before I met her and she still talks about it daily. Gonna be a great addition.”

“Life is busy. Free time is minimal. BaT is my one escape each day. I love it when something truly unique shows up in a crowd of amazing vehicles. This was a pretty cool one to see show up. Can’t wait to watch it!”

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

“They say Fort Stockton remembers things the way a screen door remembers wind. Not perfectly, not completely, but enough to make you swear something passed through.
The story of the Lincoln started that way.
It was the summer of 1937 when the couple arrived at the Cattle Baron Hotel, slipping into town like they had taken a wrong turn somewhere east of Dallas and decided not to correct it. The car came first, of course. Folks always remember the car before they remember the people.
Long…”

CaptainMyCaptain commented on Jim Farley’s 1937 Lincoln Model K Coupe by LeBaron

“My first awesome car! Bought slightly used in 1993, it was the dark grey color, almost black, and I put a 1″ drop on it with 16″ Momo 5 spoke wheels. Had a killer sound system in it and absolutely loved that car. Had it stolen in Seattle and recovered a few weeks later pretty much stripped out. Just didn’t feel the same anymore so sold it for what I could and moved on to a Toyota truck. Have owned damn near every Honda since then — Odyssey, Ridgeline, Accord and 2 generations of Civic…”

“wow, I used to service this car . worked for Ghent Motor Co. in 64 and 65. I wonder which salesman they bought it from, Bill Powers or Tex Perkins. Salesmen got 50$ a car back then.”

“Merci beaucoup. The car will indeed be driven across Paris, France’s fantastic b-roads and through mountain passes in Europe, both as a cool family car and also for vintage car rallies & events that I love to go to or organise.”

“When I first saw this auction I wanted to Jump! I expected there to be an Eruption of bids due to provenance. Driving at 10/10th would be like Runin’ With the Devil for sure. This car is the stuff Dreams are made of. If I won, I would definitely Dance The Night Away. OK I am done…”

“I grew up in a family of chevy owners, just chevy’s, and I had my big block in high school. Then the new girl friend asks me over to meet her family and what does the Dad have, an Opel Manta in orange. He takes me out to inspect it and at some point hands me the key and says, have fun. Well, I did and from that point forward my world changed. Tried to talk my dad into letting me buy an MGB, that didn’t work until I bought my own in college and started auto X’ing with it. Then road racing…”

“Thank you! Excited to add to collection!”

“I absolutely LOVE photo #321: the huge stack of renewal stickers! Most of us peel them off once a stack of five or so piles up, but to leave them all on there for so many years took dedication and a degree of skill.
This is a such a cool package, even without the amazing ownership history. Only things I’d do is get the A/C working, and replace that modern CD player with something vintage or at least vintage looking.”

“This Car and Driver segment was significantly developed at the 928 Press Launch which was held at the Le Mas D’ Artigny Luxury hotel In St. Paul, France in February and March of 1977. Automotive journalists from around the world attended to experience the cars in person and on local roads. There were 12 cars prepared for this event known as “Press Cars” and these are very unusual and unique iterations of the 928. They carry the first full 10 digit 928 VIN numbers produced. These cars were…”

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

“WOW!! This is my old car that I owned for 26 years and restored during that time. If the buyer wants to know any of the history, I can provide info for the period that I owned it. @IanC – When I sold it, I did include the Jaguar Heritage Certificate with it. Since I got it so long ago, it looks much different than the ones you get today. Hopefully, it’s still with the car. The colors are original – Opalescent Silver Blue with dark blue interior and top. I’ll be watching this one!”

“The era of BMW design that was art, sophistication, sportiness, and build quality. Beautiful e24. GLWTA!”

Dspoljaric commented on No Reserve: 1988 BMW M6

“What a cherry looking little car! 1963 remains my favorite year for the Type 1 1200 Sedan and seeing one like this, in stock spec after years of well-loved ownership just makes me smile! Everyone has a VW Story and this VW has a great story all on it’s own.
I didn’t see anything mentioned about a “Birth Certificate” and, while it may be impossible to receive one before the end of the auction, this car deserves one. Per the technical data on TheSamba.com Chassis No. 5241720 would have rolled…”

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

“These cars are just great. I bought a 2024 manual on a whim last year and have zero regrets. They do it all so well. My fair weather daily drivers last summer were this Golf, a 2018 GT3 Touring, and my venerable 993. For regular use, the Golf is ~80% of the fun of the GT3 for 20% of the money. Sold the GT3 shortly thereafter just because I prefer the Golf. Will never sell the 993, though.”

SupremeDeluxe commented on 2024 Volkswagen Golf R

“My heart skipped a beat when I saw this. My first job out of college was working for TDM in Livonia MI which later became Wheel to Wheel a prototype shop for GM’s Jon Moss. We built a 383 6spd SS with a rollcage for GM Special Vehicles to do high speed testing at MIS. I don’t think this is that car but always wondered what happened to it and many others. Great first engineering job for a young gear head.”
