“The 50-year-old realist I’ve become knows better, but the 18-year-old all gas/no brake motörhead buried inside me is guiding my mouse towards the Place Bid button”

Transcon commented on Mid-Engine, Vortec-Powered 1970 Volkswagen Type 2 Bus

“I had one 50 years ago. Definitely fun and to say driving is a “vintage experience” doesn’t really cut it. It’s pretty much pre-war in feel, but with more power. You are exposed to the elements to about the same degree as a motorcycle with a windshield, and the chassis is the best British custom: suspension that allows you to drive over a dime and tell if it’s heads or tails, and tires with similar width to a current electric mountain bike.”

“In high school I drove a ’66 mustang with a 289 and a ’66 red convertible 6 cyl similar to this. I always really enjoyed the 6 cyl version. It was much easier to steer, and somehow felt more fun and nimble.
Still have the 289 (notchback, Ivy Green Metallic). It was my Mom’s car from new and has been lovingly taken care of. One day it will pass to my nephew.”

“Wow. I am at a loss for words. First time bidding and on a seriously gorgeous wagon. This will be used for testing new software for a motorsport project believe it or not. Home will be in NC and R&D testing on the Blue Ridge Parkway then demonstrated at The Vintage! Thanks for a great bidding battle!”

JAY-Z commented on 1968 Dodge Charger R/T

“When my Family was on a vacation in Hawaii back in 1977 we had the Ford version of this wagon finished in an emerald green. It was a tank of a car but did drive nicely and got us around Oahu in comfort. My parents owned a 1973 Ford Thunderbird with the same 460ci V8. I see some of the same or similar interior parts on this wagon as well. Very nice condition Colony Park Wagon for its age!
GLWTA 👍”

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

“It’s incredible to see the one-year only chromed exhaust extensions! They were unique to 1975 Formulas and 400-powered Trans Ams.
For record, the chromed splitters, which were introduced on the 1974 GTO were included with the Trans Am’s “455 HO” package introduced in midyear 1975 and used throughout the remainder of the 1970s and into the 1980s.”

“When I was 17 my best friend bought almost this same car – his was actually a ‘67 but they look the same to me. At the time it was an 8 year old used car, bought for $800
What a great car that was! Some of my favorite memories are cruising with my best friend in the Cadillac listening to Led Zeppelin. A true Party Barge! He passed away last year, still my best friend. Thanks for the memories”

“I had to give up my old track day 911 I bought many years ago at 19. I promised myself that one day I would find a way to fill that void. I guess today’s that day.
Thanks everyone. We had a great time.”

“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.”

“i dont like the red interior i love it – its going to be driven like a b series civic”

Jds8811 commented on 1996 Porsche 911 Gunther Werks 400R Sport Touring #1

“As a retired Aerospace Engine-nerd, I can relate to this car and the OCD of the prior owners/family. This one won’t be restored nor turned for profit, but it will be driven in the desert southwest and turn over 100,000 miles within a year or so. I drive ’em, I don’t show them or brag about them. Enjoy your cars folks! We ain’t gettin’ any younger, time goes so quickly.
Enjoy your day. God Bless.”

HalfGlass commented on One-Family-Owned 1968 Plymouth Road Runner Hardtop

“Awesome car. I love pic 149 because it tells a story of what likely happened to most radio delete Camaros in the early 80s when these cars were cheap enough to be purchased by teenagers who would not be caught dead in a car with no tunes. I can see the kid with his dad’s hacksaw, tin snips and pliers lying on his back in that trunk going to town. A couple hours later, with his brand new Jensen Tri-Axials installed, he’s cruising around town with tunes blaring. Radio delete option be damned!!”

RSGarm commented on 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 4-Speed

“Dave the owner of this car, hosted the Chicago chapter of the Alfa Club at his shop, The Giulietta Studio, last weekend for our annual swap meet. I got to see this car in person, and all I can say is WOWW!! This car is spectacular. Down to details like proper hose clamps, it’s just done so nicely and correctly. Not that you’ll need it, but GLWTA!”

“For those wondering, here’s the lowdown. This car completes my 69 Chevy SS matching numbers collection. They’re getting so hard to find and I had the privilege of driving this one last week. Well represented by the seller and I have my own body shop. Its new home is 100 miles west of the seller in Washington State. It will be restored to factory spec. Thanks for reading.”

“As I remember, even the US spec lights were pretty good on these, very bright long range high beams. For all those who know 504D’s, this is as good as you’re going to get in the states.”

“As per the driving video – this car still has less squeaks and rattles than any Lamborghini Diablo”
