Hercule_LaJoy commented on No Reserve: Atari Pole Position Arcade Game

“I have the sister car, an Autech Zagato Stelvio AZ1 which has identical interior and underpinnings. In addition to the rarity and handbuilt Zagato heritage, these cars are amazing drivers. They’re quick and super comfortable for road trips. My daughter and her husband did a 2200 mile round trip with our car in a weekend to the Amelia Island Concours last year where the car won a class award. To make things even better for this car, it comes out of one the country’s great collections. I…”

“Around the time this was new, I was working on a Spielberg film in Northern California. Part of his deal was to have a Pole Position arcade game provided in a dedicated office at the studio – it was just down the hall from my editing room. I figured out his schedule – while it was around, I came in early before him – and got very good at the free play!”

“Anyone with the wrenching skills and the work space could have a lot of fun with this. Forget show car status, this is a drive it while you play with it diamond in the rough. First, pay the bucks to get an expert diagnosis of the issues. The interior looks more than serviceable so just get it running right…not perfect, just safely drivable. You now have a great project (father and son?) that will constantly reward your efforts. Take your time going through the mechanical needs…then move on…”

“All of a sudden it’s 2003, I’m in my parents’ living room putting Need for Speed Underground into my Gamecube. I’ve got a Focus with green underglow and nitrous. It’s built to dominate the circuit races, but I need a better car for drifting. My dad helps me with some of the tougher races – we’re gonna watch some Monster Garage after we get a few races in.
Shoot… I might just go into my own living room now and pop the game into the Gamecube. For old time’s sake.”

“Thank you all for the love and nice comments for this beautiful NSX-T. Hard to see it go but excited to see it start its next chapter with @Matchbox1095. I hope you’ll enjoy owning and experiencing this car as much as I have! Congrats!”

“Brown cars are underrated.”

“The CKD cars assembled in Belgium were for tax purposes. The cars were shipped “body in white” with the drivetrain out of the car and no interior trim installed. Final assembly and paint were done in Belgium and avoided import taxes somewhere around 30%.
While no production records from Belgium have survived, the TR Registry has obtained shipping manifests that lists vin numbers and engine serial numbers along with the dates they went. As the cars were shipped to Belgium in small…”

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

“The 330 GTC has always been a favorite of mine. And the 512BB. When I was first working out of college in the early ’80’s my wife and I honeymooned in San Francisco and I dragged her to Ferrari Los Gatos, and there on the floor were my two dream cars, a 330 GTC sitting next to a 512BB. I remember them being in the $25 – $35K range? And thinking, I’ll be able to afford one of those. Unfortunately life intervened and prices for these cars increased but I was finally able to realize a dream…”

“I own a manual 6 speed ’07 NC. These are just fabulous vehicles. Nothing goes wrong. Certainly one of the finest engines Mazda ever built. Gobs of fun driving top-down and a true value fot the $ spent. New owner will be happy. GLWTA”

Spider_Mike commented on 15k-Mile 2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata Grand Touring PRHT

“Thanks to all bidders. I fell in love with the 904 when I first saw one in the 1980’s. I think it the most beautiful care design ever. Thats why I had to have the Beck 904. I started discussing the car with Chuck Beck in early 2020, and pulled the trigger in October of 2020. It was a 3 year build process, and I visited the factory many times during the build. My wife was involved too, and picked out the interior colors. I think it turned out nicely. Thanks for all the positive comments.”

Armbrust commented on Beck 904 GTS

“The 505 wagon, IMHO, is one of the great longroofs. They endure rugged conditions in Africa without complaint. The 4 cylinder engine is about as indestructible as they get. Cargo capacity is unmatched. Yet the ride is so so comfy. Best seats anywhere. The video shows it off well.”

“Another one that I helped build at Torslanda in Goteborg. Some had a note under the dash: built in Sweden by a yankee. I was the only American out of supposedly 46 nationalities working there”

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

“Ah, the memories! This was my first-ever brand new car, purchased in Petersburg, Virginia when this fresh Army Quartermaster second lieutenant received a small fortune (It seemed so at the time) from the Army in TDY pay and turned it into Kenosha metal. Mine had the 343 not the 390, but was exactly this color, same transmission, and the brown leather which was original to this car, too. The car accompanied me to my first–and only–duty station in West Germany because officers’ car-shipping was…”

“I had an opportunity to buy a friends 51 Mercury sled, I always wanted from his wife. Gary died in March 2026 from prostate cancer, he was 77, I’m 75. I just don’t have indoor storage for both so the Caddy has to go. I enjoyed it for a year so somebody can have fun with the top down!”

Ranfabmach commented on LS3-Powered 1961 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible

“This is my car. I have had every generation of 911, air cooled and water cooled, turbo and NA, all of which are in various states of “hot rod”. Even my CGT has some mods. I bought this car to hot rod as well, but it was so mint that I couldn’t do it, it is truly flawless inside and out. However, my OCD got the best of me and I invested whatever was needed to make the car perfect and decided to let it go as an offering to the BAT community. @hoarsche enjoy!”

rbpalley commented on 1991 Porsche 911 Turbo

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

“I’ve been a 912 owner and enthusiast since 1968, and this is by far the finest 912 driver I’ve ever seen. I know the guy who designed and built it, and I’ve seen the car numerous times. It truly is unique. A lot of time, thought, money, and effort went into the car. Everywhere you look, there’s a special touch.
Start with the basics. Look at the panel fit. The engine lid lines up exceptionally well with the fenders, light units, and bumper uprights. The lower quarter panels fit…”

Frank_Barrett commented on 2.4L Polo-Powered 1967 Porsche 912 Coupe 5-Speed

“I’m going to jump in first on this one and declare it to be an amazing build.
The original Avanti is hard to improve on. Like the E-Type, I consider the original car one of the stand out designs of the 20th century.
Over the past 60 years however, improvements in suspension, brakes, and powertrain have made thoughtful enhancements to the original design very desirable.
This Avanti covers all the bases with exceptionally fine taste while not offending the original design. Great…”

Raffi commented on LS3-Powered 1973 Avanti II

“………..calypso red 740i. That sparked a two year search for the “right for me” e38. I was very lucky to find a 2001 740i sport with only 27k miles, which is still sitting in my garage with approx. 30k miles. It still brings me back to the memory of the calypso red e38 in the showroom and the love affair continues.”
