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

    “Absolutely wild that this is an original owner car. I have to imagine that it’s very difficult to part with it after all of this time. Best of luck with the sale, it’s beautiful, and clearly has been loved.”

    “I wake up today a little sad knowing that I have to part ways with my old girl. But I’m also excited knowing that someone out there is going to be able to take her in, put her to work and enjoy everything she has to offer.”

    “Absolutely gorgeous car. This auction will provide some needed distraction in between shoveling and the playoff games. :). GLWA”

    “Absolute stunner. Certainly one of the top three motorcycles of all time; likely the ‘top one’.
    Exquisite restoration. This can, and ought, to be ridden.”

    “I’ve driven this car & own a w108 Matt fitted a 113k drivetrain to. If you have the means I highly recommend it.”

    “I must commend the team at Revology on an absolute triumph of packaging. It is one thing to shoehorn a Gen 3 Coyote into an early-model engine bay, but the way this has been engineered is incredibly clean. You actually left plenty of room to work on the car, and the plumbing is pure art. It takes a truly discerning eye to differentiate this from a factory-spec 1968 Fastback until you pop the hood.
    The juxtaposition of eras is beautifully executed. Catching the modern Ford door-ajar chime in…”

    I’m still at that point.”

    “An Alfa like this, in this original condition, is simply priceless. I don’t know who coined the expression “you can’t go home again,” but this car proves them wrong. This car is more than a time capsule, it is a time machine. Drive it and you will be transported back to Italy during an automotive golden age. A 100 point Pebble Beach example couldn’t give you any more pleasure than enjoying this in today’s real world. GLWTA.”

    “We can crack some jokes, but lets also acknowledge the incredible craftsmanship here. The hand painted details are incredible!”

    “Great read. Glad Denise McLuggage got a shout out. One of the great auto scribes who dosen’t get the recognition she deserves. Also wrote one of the best ski instruction books “The Centered Skier”.”

    “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!”

    DailyDrivenPorsche commented on 2001 BMW M3 Coupe 6-Speed

    “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!”

    “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”

    “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.”

    “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”

    “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.”

    “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…”
