A Look at yesterday’s comments of note

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

“@the.flagrant.bidder no, that was chassis C22. You can read about C20 and C22 on the GTS-R registry at Viper Racing History.
C20 presents an opportunity to own a piece of history from the program that dominated international GT racing at the turn of the millennium. Its win at Hockenheim in the FIA GT race on June 27, 1999 was part of a rare international sweep in which Viper Team ORECA simultaneously won the American Le Mans Series race at Mosport on the same day. The car’s “All American…”

“All three Muncie 4-speeds were available in the ’69 Z28. Performance wise, the M20 is the best choice as it has a better first, second and third gear. This is all called out in my 1969 Camaro facto book. Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins always raced with the transmission with the lowest first gear. He told me this years ago.”

“rgpiatt: The chain/sprocket assembly is for adjusting ride height. I worked in the Ford Design Studio from 2005-2022 and these adjustment mechanisms were primarily used on clay armatures and were adjustable to simulate various ride height conditions. These were used on non-powered “pusher” properties for market research and internal evaluation as well. These design studies definitely weren’t built to last and most wound up as scrap. I’m not sure if these older mechanisms allowed for track…”

“As a matter of fact, my wife cooked breakfast on the Salt in 1974 using fuel from the race car. Ed Iskenderian was very pleased. Watch the video. Tom Keo”

“My Dad was a district service manager for GM in the 90s and early 2000’s and as a part of that we would get a new demo car to drive every couple mos. After the dismal launch of the Aztec in 2000, GM wanted to get make the best out of a bad situation so they gave them to every service manager in the country to “get the word out”.
When I turned 16 and got my license, we got the Aztek. Bright yellow if I recall correctly, and rather than the usual 3 mos cycle, we had it for a full 7 mos.…”

“The Superleggera V4 was capped at 500 units worldwide for 2020 and remains the first street-legal motorcycle with a carbon fiber frame, subframe, swingarm and wheels as standard — Ducati had to get specific homologation approval for the structural carbon!!!!! What a Bike!!!!”

“So they built 50 of these, and now three have been offered on BaT. That says a lot about the stature that @BaT has achieved in the collector car world.”

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

“When I look at this listing I can feel Anne’s arms around my waist. Both of us sixteen. Laughing with each other as we sped around sludgoville on those hot summer nights back in ’77 on the bike I picked up for a couple-hundred bucks from a buddy who needed the cash. No helmets. No leathers. Just being kids who thought we were immortal. These days I’m holding on to those moments of youth you can never really hold on to, only remember. But tonight, on this silly website, I can still smell her…”

“3.8L in a car that weighs as much as a Slim Jim?
Yes please!
Some cars come with engines….some engines come with cars.
One of the most exciting E21s featured on BaT.”

“Those roof air intakes are SO COOL!
It must have been so much fun being a car designer during this era. Styling and thinking of the next big thing was the competitive differentiator then. And let’s not forget about the space age influence that began to appear in the late 50s.
Nice car and restoration @seller.”

“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…”

“Getting close now!
We told you about Bill’s event raising money for Special Olympics. It’s called All Italian Day and it’s October 11th this year (https://www.alfaromeoassociation.org/content.aspx?page_id=4091&club_id=233974&item_id=2902395).
For several years we designed the t-shirt for the event. One of the last years I did the design, I felt we had to honor Bill and this wonderful car.
One of the amazing ARA members, still has a new XL shirt and is willing to gift it to…”

“Honored to be the next caretaker of this incredible M3. Huge thanks to the seller for the thorough presentation and to everyone in the comments who shared their knowledge. I’ve wanted the right E46 M3 for a long time, and I’m excited this Laguna Seca Blue example will be joining my garage. It will be well cared for and enjoyed. Thanks again!”

“Can’t believe the options on this one, it has factory Recaros before the ‘is’ was a thing. Plus the sport wheel, sunroof, and it’s in one of the best blues that BMW put on their in the 70s.
This is a neat e21!”
