    “If you told me I would pull-up BaT today and there would be a 6-wheeled EcoSport for sale, I would have sent you to rehab. I’m speechless.”

    Fatalvenom commented on No Reserve: Custom Six-Wheeled 2019 Ford EcoSport Titanium

    “A very special car here. This is one of the original World’s Fair batch of 60 Mustang GTs Ford built for the 1965 New York World’s Fair, the cars that introduced the GT package to the press and the first ones that rolled off the line. On April 15, 1965, all 60 were lined up together. Henry Ford II, Lee Iacocca, and Don Frey rolled past the row. The cars then went to journalists for a 10-day press evaluation. After that they were returned to Ford and sold as demos. About 20 of the original…”

    “Starting in 2023 these cars are turbocharged only it runs the 3gen erad rear diff that is constantly engaged compared to the clutch style of the previous model which could disconnect when not needed. The fun part is that if you are driving electric only you are rwd with instant torque.

    “The missile appeared at Earl’s Salvage Yard & Formalwear on a Tuesday morning.
    At least that was what Hairless B29 called it when he walked into the Grounds for Divorce and announced that Earl had acquired a rocket.
    Angus Hopper continued buttering his toast.
    “How big?”
    “Three feet, maybe.”
    Angus looked up. “That ain’t much of a rocket.”
    “It’s streamlined.”
    This was apparently sufficient evidence to bring Rex Hall into the investigation. By nine…”

    “The Story Here…
    As an automotive magazine publisher, editor and motor journalist in the ’80s and ’90s, I was privileged to attend many unique and amazing press functions and receive highly-specialized literature regarding the cars being launched. From the Highlands of Scotland to the South of France. From the US Continental Divide to the jungles and rain forests of Guatemala and Belize. From small back mews of the English Midlands to palatial manor houses in London. What a time it…”

    “I was a salesman at the Dodge dealership one block from Ferris motors 1968-1974. Our dealership was NOT a high-performance dealership like Ferris. In addition to selling the subject car here. Ferris also owned and raced the A990 sister car to Larry Griffith’s car but the Ferris car was an automatic called the torqueflite tornado. Ferris and Griffith often raced togather as a team.Ferris sold a lot of race cars for such a small dealership in the town of 5000 people. Previously he raceda couple…”

    “Drag racing in the south in the 60’s I watched the advent of the lightweights. Lakeland Drag strip in Memphis had among others Herb McCandless aka Mr 4 Speed. I swear he could shift faster than an automatic! ! Car just shuttered when he slammed into gear. As I remember also circa 63 NHRA outlawed aluminum front caps? At the nationals people would tech and then go switch the entire front cap. NHRA got hip and would wait in staging area. With magnet in hand! Truth or consequence time!!”

    “The 991 GT3T reigns supreme. Many folks say the 992 is superior. When you sit in a 992 you stare into the soulless abyss of darkened computer screens.
    I don’t care how good a 911 is if it makes me feel like I’m at work staring at a computer screen!”

    “I figured it was about time I got a GS – having grown up with DS’s starting in 1962 when my late father, the first industrial hygienist in the US, brought home, a 58 DS 19 – the early series which was as complicated as they could get. Funny thing was it was a trade-in at a Studebaker dealers shop in Salt Lake City Utah, the middle of nowhere back then. but dad, although a chemist, had a hankering for mechanical stuff and built large gasoline powered model airplanes when he was a kid.
    Even…”

    “I will say this with great confidence. This coach is a unicorn. I can’t predict outcomes but I know from thousands of miles on the rv highway that this rig is the real deal. The new owners will have both a show piece and an amazing coach. In the rv world these coaches in well preserved form are showstoppers.”

    “Great to see such an excellent example of the car that reset the standard of what to expect from a small car. Not enough people understand how the Accord raised the bar for attractive design and basic equipment. The rustproofing material is most typical of any car sold in western Pennsylvania, where salt use and rust were commonplace… probably instrumental in keeping this car on the road and on your screen today.

    “This is a sweet ’69 El Camino L78… no vinyl top! Could have been used to drag race or simply used to pull a boat down to the river. With the pin-striping that was removed, my guess, it was sparingly used to launch a Sanger flat-bottom boat with a built 427.

    “I had the absolute pleasure of being parked next to this vehicle at the BaT concours d’elegance in Elkhart Lake on Saturday evening, and I must say: this car somehow looks even better in person. I am in and out of a ton of aircooled Porsches in a professional capacity, and this may be the nicest 911SC I’ve ever seen. It’s obvious after talking to the seller that they took their time to refurbish the car the correct way – with the love and care this fine example deserves.
    Somebody is going to…”

    “There were two icons of the late 1980s for me: the Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk2 16V and the Lancia Delta Integrale 16V.
    If you grew up like I did in the 1980s there’s a good chance you were obsessed with one—or both.
    The GTI was the benchmark hot hatch, while the Integrale was the rally-bred legend that dominated the world stage. Different personalities, yet both became automotive icons that defined a generation of enthusiasts.
    It’s so cool to see a well-sorted GTI 16V again. Seeing one…”

    “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.…”
