Crandy commented on 1970 Porsche 911E Coupe 5-Speed

“Hard to imagine that this stunning body style only lasted 3 years. Peak GM sculpting straight out of mid century Detroit. Whew”

Craven commented on 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS

“Just stunning. Hard to imagine today that these were once just considered cars and converted to race cars and sometimes trucks! I read where a wealthy widow donated her late husband’s for scrap to support the war effort.”

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

“Dad still has a Morris van and one of the pickups that he started accumulating in the 1970’s, when my siblings and I learned to appreciate the Morris line of vehicles for what they were/are. Forgive me for recycling one of my comments from 2014, which I hope is appropriate and appreciated again:
One of the most ubiquitous vehicles of my childhood, after Austin Healeys and Lotus Elites.
Prospective Buyers should be aware of the following, especially if they have teen-aged children:
As…”

“Not sure aircraft on here will be common but will say the comments on this are both knowledgeable and accurate regarding it and the mission, as well as their history in general. Wasnt sure what the comments would be but the knowledgeable have come out of the woodwork. A lot of Vets out there that you would never know by looking. Sometimes it takes a conversation like this for them to step forward. GLWA”

“I’m so excited! This is something I want to share with my son who is a cancer survivor. A dad dream to teach my son how to drive a manual in one of my dream cars!”

MoonieGT commented on 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi

“Cars are not merely tools that transport us from one point to another, but they also act as companions on life’s journey. They’re present during our joyous adventures, supportive during melancholy journeys, and a symbol of triumph in our victories. They reflect our personal stories, embody our dreams, and even color our memories. They are “like rolling diaries,” chronicling the story of our lives through every dent, scratch, and modification.”

bobsinhawaii commented on 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham

“Cool wagon, and with the manual it’s a unicorn! These 3.2’s are great engines. My Dad has a C320 wagon pushing 300k miles, and running strong.”

JRG99 commented on 2003 Mercedes-Benz C320 Sport Wagon 6-Speed

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

“Thank you all for your interest in my dad’s GTV.
That car holds a lifetime of memories for me. I still remember riding home in the passenger seat at age six as my dad brought it back from Larchmont, NY — and him telling me to stop playing with all the buttons and knobs. Years later, I turned over the odometer somewhere on 395 South in Connecticut, driving it to impress the woman who would become my wife. And most recently, during the COVID years, Dad and I brought it to Giovanni and Kathy…”

haigtell commented on One-Owner 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000

“When I was a kid my Dad heard on the radio a promotion by Pitcairn Honda in Langhorn PA. It said, “come test drive the new Honda and register to win an ounce of Gold.” They must have changed their mind or it was a mistake, as the ad only ran once to my knowledge. So my Dad and I headed up to the dealer which was only 15 min away. I don’t think I actually got to ride in the car because it was to small. Then my Dad said he wanted to register for the gold. It was closing time and everyone in…”

Glen commented on 1971 Honda Z600 4-Speed

“When it’s cold, I like to go down in the basement, and sit in the Factory 5 Roadster, that my Dad and I built. He’s been gone 6 years now, and I still think about him, every single day.
Listening to the driving video, I can close my eyes, and see Dad, driving his car, that we built, smiling from ear to ear.
Thanks for listing this gorgeous car, @Stables_Group . It is gorgeous and sounds incredibly good.”

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

“This was my Dad’s car. I learned to drive a stick in this car and took my drivers test for my license. He and I worked on it together and we would race through the mountains. When he was over seas, my mom and I had to drive it weekly to keep it running. both of my parents are in heaven. My mom is looking down at me, saying what in the hell are you thinking? My dad is looking down at me and saying hell yeah!”

joedryden commented on Korman-Built, S38-Powered Widebody 1968 BMW 1600ti 5-Speed

“It’s bittersweet to see this car listed here with @craterface. I was the co-driver for the Modena Centro Ore event in this car and it was just a champion. In addition to buying a tested and regularly driven car, you are buying a top-tier seller. I’ve had the pleasure of over a decade of friendship with the seller and his is a dedicated, knowledgeable, and passionate steward of his cars. He is especially fond of Alfas and I suspect there is another Alfa coming to replace this one. Bid with…”

deichenb commented on 1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint

“Leading off the BaT Best Flybys of the Week is #XS003. The Kenny Brown suspension and chassis mods really hook this car up. Trust me when I tell you that this Outlaw is capable of so much more.

TShab commented on 1991 Acura NSX

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

“A turquoise R2 4-speed is the quentessential Avanti and very few other cars for the same money will draw more attention.
However, been so long since I have seen an Avanti MSRP window sticker, I’d forgotten Studebaker had the unmitigated gall to ding the buyer $20 for TV advertising and $50 for Metro advertising. Go figure!
I bow to no man in my love for the Avanti, but it was always costly and this just seems to be added insult to injury.

packardv8 commented on 1963 Studebaker Avanti 4-Speed

“I’ll tell you, when I was a kid in the ‘80s I thought the two coolest cars in existence were the Countach and the 928. I held them in almost equal regard. I’m happy to see a pinnacle 928 getting the love!”

URS6 commented on 21k-Mile 1994 Porsche 928 GTS 5-Speed

“I love vintage Ferraris. Thought I would get a late 70’s or early 80’s 308GTB but last year became smitten when this came and went:
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1978-ferrari-308-gt4-8-2/
This will be very well taken care of. Going in the garage the second it arrives and will be driven enough to enjoy and still preserve the integrity of the car.”
