“OK, I’m gonna cry now. This is literally my dad’s car. So many memories with this vehicle. He bought it from the old man in ferrari in the first dealership. It was the dealership owner‘s car.”

“@Jimily @07SGT1978 Actually, a 302 cubic inch engine is a 4.9L, but Ford’s marketing people very wisely rounded up. I’m pretty sure Mustang fans think those trademark 5.0 badges are a vast improvement over 4.9, and I know Vanilla Ice thought so!”

Z282SLO commented on No Reserve: Original-Owner 1986 Ford Mustang GT Convertible 5-Speed

“It always amazed/surprised me that if you bought a Cadillac of that era, the convertible top from the inside exposed the bare metal frame and had no headliner but the modest VW came standard with a substantial padded cloth inner liner that concealed the frame structure while reducing road noise and increasing cabin warmth and comfort.”

CHARLENEBILLIE commented on SEMA-Exhibited Hotchkis “E-Max” 1970 Dodge Challenger 340 Six Pack 5-Speed

“If I could only own one vehicle for the rest of my life, and could never switch it… this is what I would get.
-Stupid reliable.
-Powerful enough to explore in the mountains and pull a boat to the lake.
-Always classy. Always adventurous.
-Good for one person, and good for a family.
-Safe.
-Enough tech to be convenient, but not too much to get in the way.”

overlandish commented on 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser URJ200 Heritage Edition

“This is a stunning car with amazing history! The fact that Jim Froula of Racecraft has done the recent work on it makes me feel very good. I race my Datsun 510 in the historic B Sedan class against many of the cars supported by Jim at vintage events. The cars under his tent are always extremely well prepared, highly competitive, and generally with great history. I’m in. Let’s see where this baby ends up. Would love to keep it in the West Coast but I suspect the European bidders know quite…”

“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…”

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

“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.”

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

“Nobody in Fort Stockton ever knew exactly where Harold and Eleanor Whitcomb were headed when they left, and after a while they stopped asking. It had become as dependable as church bells and the Dairy Twin closing at nine. Every Sunday, sometime after lunch, the old Mercury wagon would ease out of their driveway with a picnic basket tucked behind the front seat and Harold’s weathered county highway map folded neatly beside him. They never seemed to have a destination. Yet when they returned,…”

“Great road test; beautiful sound bathing the cabin as you work the gears…no weird clunks, just straight-up British Sports Car excellence. GLWA! Given the bids already, I won’t be seeing this in my Virginia garage any time soon, alas.”

BahnBnr commented on One-Owner 1967 Jaguar XKE Series I 4.2 Coupe 4-Speed

“I drove a 2012 manual Fit for three years before I lost it in a flood trying to cross an underpass. They float extremely well by the way.
It was SO much fun to drive. It fit two bikes in the back with the seats up. Storage was best. I’ve not had a similar size car since that was as enjoyable. The Fiesta ST is a close second but the FIT had better (less) torque steer when burning the tires in the wet. It would get rubber past 2nd gear on moist roads.
Indestructible….unless you drive it…”

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

“In Carlisle, Pennsylvania 2025 the chief engineer of the project who has since retired stated that this is the perfect supercar. All of the cars tested went 213 mph but they only certified the GT for 205 mph. He also noted that not one motor malfunctioned in the testing process. all of the first and second generation Ford Gt‘s engines were built by Jack rousch at their plant in Michigan.. when I visited the engine factory back in August he was actually there working believe it or not in…”

“Very rare to see an LS with the Saddle interior. Very nice.”

Wheelyneat commented on No Reserve: 2004 Lexus LS430

“My ‘84 was the twin of this car. It too had the blue interior, which I thought was much more interesting than the more common red/burgundy. Worthless Trivia: the ‘84s gained a filler piece at the front bumper which concealed the lower fascia.
To this day that car remains as a favorite. Many fond memories of track days at Lime Rock Park, graduate school in Indiana, that little car followed me around like an energetic puppy.”

M5Z3M commented on No Reserve: Douglas DC-8 Engine Cowl Desk

“I remember street racing one of these against my 93 Typhoon. My awd blew it off the line but after about 100 feet or so I was staring at his taillights the rest of the way. These cars are deceptively fast. Beautiful example that will be way out of my budget. GLWTA!”

Typhoontaz commented on 700-Mile 1987 Buick GNX

“Wow! I wish I was 30 years younger. This is a very solid looking start to what would be a great car! It looks like lots and lots of cleaning and derusting lies ahead! I did a ’62 years ago that started out a lot worse than this and ended up stunning. For the adventurous (and young) this could be an awesome project! GLWTA”

“I’ve driven one of these —it’s the closest you can get to a Spitfire, if you are afraid of flying. GLWTS!”
