“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.”

CarFoolLane commented on 48-Years-Family-Owned 1973.5 Porsche 911T Targa

“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:

“@bbilly McQueen rode a “stolen” German military camp motorcycle which was a modified Triumph TR6 Trophy in The Great Escape. A period-correct BMW or Zundapp weren’t up to the physical task. McQueen did all of the riding except for the 60-ft jump over the barbed wire. Insurance restrictions limited that scene.”

Streeter commented on No Reserve: Ex–Steve McQueen 1931 Harley-Davidson VL

“Exact car, down to the color, my Uncle had. My parents borrowed it in August, 1959 when we went to get our first Weimaraner from some people in Illinois. My first dog, remember the trip, I was 4. We had a DeSoto 2 door sedan (1952) at that time, unsuitable for transport of a very large pup!
Paint was dull on his wagon I recall. Downright chalky. Within the next year or so he traded it on a brand new Ford Taunus wagon. (Now there’s one you NEVER see.)”

ACDBCACCCA commented on No Reserve: 1953 Ford Customline Country Sedan

“Kudos to the seller for all of the pics! For those of us who’ve been around BaT for awhile you may remember the BaT feature “Where They Rust”. This car before the resto would have been an excellent submission. I applaud owners who see a car in that shape and decide to dedicate the time and money to bring a car back to life. You have my respect.
This is a cool build that appears ready to be enjoyed today. It’s really nice but not so precious you’d be afraid to drive it. And the AC is…”

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

“You could hear the Buick before you saw it—low, steady rumble like a baritone singer with a cold. Then it rolled into Fort Stockton, slow and wide as a cattle drive, with more faux wood than a church fellowship hall on potluck night.
A green 1979 Buick Estate Wagon, fresh from a long haul.
Kids at the Dairy Twin pointed and whispered. Men outside the Rusty Hammer squinted, hands on their hips, like cowboys sizing up a stranger’s horse. Rusty himself muttered, “That ain’t a car,…”

“I didn’t think a Ford GT could get much cooler, but here it is.”

ModelAkid commented on 2005 Ford GTX1

“Thanks everyone, and especially Dean! This is my first vintage Mercedes and I’m looking forward to bringing it home! The original selling dealership no longer exists, but I’m still planning to drive it there anyway for this new chapter of stewardship.”

“The ultimate Uber Wagon that BMW should have built in the first place! GLWTA.”

JWHBOOMER commented on M5-Swapped 2002 BMW 540i Sport Wagon 6-Speed

“I had to chime in as this brought back memories. My dad had one with factory 4 speed and (at least) front disc brakes. Can’t remember the rears. Factory silver with a vinyl roof. That 4 speed was a LONG throw so it took a while to get there. A lot of axle hop. I always thought it would make a great sleeper hotrod with a bit of engine & suspension work. I had no idea how rare the factory options were. Who knew?”

JBird57 commented on Original-Owner 1978 Ford Granada ESS V8 2-Door Sedan

“Always loved these. I am the person responsible for that front cover photo of Hemmings Muscle Machines. I was the editor of that magazine at the time. That Mopar issue was a ton of work, but satisfying. Beautiful example of when Chrysler actually built cars. Today, just the Pacifica.”

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

“My wife drives a PT Cruiser. She LOVES the car. We’ve never been able to take it on any kind of road trip without a CEL. I keep an OBD II reader in the car. Two crankshaft position sensors, one camshaft position sensor, one idle air mixture valve, two ECMs, and numerous gas caps. Did I mention that she loves the thing?”

“Another amazing 911. Norway knows how to build for sure. This is why I love coming to BAT. Not only do I learn more about some of the cars I never really got into. Plus with my serious health issues right now, BAT really helps me get up early, and make it through another day. And it gives me hope that one day I will own one. GLWTA!!!”
