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

    “My dad also has a Judson in his ’56 lowlight and got me hooked on 36hps. I currently have an Okrasa and just pulled a ’58 T2 36hp out of my Brasilia science project. I see at one point in picture 507 this Ghia had an Okrasa setup. I would have loved to talk to the owner/builder and hear their feedback on the differences. Does the motor still have the Okrasa 69.5 crank or upgraded (356/custom) camshaft with the Judson setup? Does it by chance have a the uber rare “high compression” domed VW…”

    “When I was President of the Pit Crew at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles I had the privilege of arranging a Tour of Bruce Meyer’s garage off Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Among his fabulous cars (e.g. the first production Cobra) is the SWB Berlinetta that won its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1961, the highest placing of a SWB at Le Mans.”

    “A few years ago I took one down the Oregon coast, right after some seat time in a GT3. Same engine DNA, same urgency to rev, but the experience couldn’t be more different in the best way. Top down, rowing your own gears, flat-six at 9k RPM echoing off the cliffs… it turns every mile into an event. What a great Porsche. Here’s to the next owner racking up the miles on it.”

    “When my Family was on a vacation in Hawaii back in 1977 we had the Ford version of this wagon finished in an emerald green. It was a tank of a car but did drive nicely and got us around Oahu in comfort. My parents owned a 1973 Ford Thunderbird with the same 460ci V8. I see some of the same or similar interior parts on this wagon as well. Very nice condition Colony Park Wagon for its age!
    GLWTA 👍”

    “Hi all, I am the previous owner of this amazing little E30 Touring.
    I can vouch for the condition of this car. I daily drove it for over a year before selling it to the current owner on Bring a Trailer. It has been well taken care of by the current owner, myself, and the previous owner (before me) who is a close friend of mine.
    Collectively we have put many hours and dollars into keeping this E30 in great condition. It drives tight, it drives clean, and nothing on the road today can…”

    “It is vehicles like this which make @BaT one of the most fascinating automotive places and a standout on the internet. @Bat continues to amaze and astound regularly and to buck the trend of the mass of online auction sites.
    The depth of knowledge from the BaT spectator gallery is staggering and inspirational from contributors sharing their collective wealth of automotive riches and wisdom. This is the very core of what makes @BaT such a fascinating and entertaining resource….”

    “Very excited. I have been looking for a long time, and plan to use it as a daily driver as well as occasional track use. So the somewhat odd spec is perfect for my intended use. I am far from being a professional driver, so I plan to enjoy this for many years.”

    “What a priceless pair of twins. As the original owner of a 1970 Triumph Bonneville, I can fully appreciate this small, but wonderful example of Triumph history. My 1970 Bonneville was still in the wooden shopping crate when I picked it.ip at the shipping dock. It was sent to me unassembled and unpreped for retail delivery. My dealer was so busy with sales and deliveries in 1970, he did not have time or staff to open the crate, assemble and prep my bike and fabricrate a new shipping crate. I…”

    “I remember seeing these all over the car magazines in the 60’s and 70’s. I need to go into my garage and see how much room I can create!!! This will be a great car if done right. GLWTA!!”

    “The seller has done a good job giving a brief history of Cisitalia. I have studied these cars for over 40 years and have four of them (Two 202 coupes and two D46s) and had a 202 Cabriolet so perhaps I can provide some clarification. Approximately 110 coupes were made and about 60 cabriolets. Pinin Farina (later changed to Pininfarina) made the first batch of coupes in 1947-48, but then ramped up on working for Ferrari, etc. so most of the remaining coupes were done by Stabilimente Farina and…”

    Cisitalia_Guy commented on Ex–Mille Miglia Storica 1952 Cisitalia 202 SC Gran Sport Cabriolet by Stabilimenti Farina

    “I am the farmer who owned this car for years and everything the seller says is true. It was never in any kind of wreck while I owned it. I drove it for about 100000 miles. It had about 22000 miles on it when I purchased it. I drove it like a 930 should be and never had any problems with it, other than I decided to have the engine rebuilt as stated. If you’ve never driven an older Porche over a hundred mph be sure to have both hands on the wheel and pay attention!! The buyer sent a person…”

    “My 66 Shelby is a 4 speed, my 65 cobra is a manual, but I have owned two 67 500 Automatics and 3 67 350 4 Speeds. I loved my 67 small block cars, but nothing like putting a 500 in drive and just cruise. Maybe I’m just getting old, but I did catch myself driving the auto 500s more than the manuals.”

    CollectorCarClub commented on 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 Fastback

    “What a legacy this car has… Bruce McLaren, who “finished second behind Jack Brabham”… those are names I read about in Car & Driver as a kid… cars were named after these men! And the tracks: Silverstone, Riverside, Laguna Seca… storied venues all.
    This is a piece of history, never to be repeated. That it was powered by the little aluminum Buick engine, fed by a quartet of Webers is like icing on the cake. Once again, the offerings on BaT never fail to surprise and amaze.”

    “I have known this DB4 Zagato and it’s sister Zagato 1 VEV since the 1960s at Goodwood and subsequently in the late 1980s when it was local to me and I used to see it driven on the street. Good to see the old warhorse in fine fettle and singing automotive opera….”
