    “It has been a genuine privilege to have this extraordinary 113-year-old racing motorcycle on display in my collection. It stands as far more than a rare machine—it is a tangible reminder of the ingenuity, craftsmanship, and determination of the pioneers who built it.
    This motorcycle is a testament to what skilled hands, creative minds, and unwavering perseverance could accomplish more than a century ago.
    Yet the motorcycle tells only part of the story.
    It also pays tribute to the fearless…”

    “As the former owner of XS004 and a serial collector of special Fox Body Mustangs, you can’t find many more special than a KB car. If I had the room I’d be going after this under full boost! GLWTA!”

    “Great 914. Had a set of American Le Mans waiting in my parents garage while waiting for my 914 in gold metallic . Mine was born in JAN 71 so I missed on first year of production. I still very much enjoy this car today and the stock wheels and hubcaps are still in the American Racing boxes 55 years later. The 1.7 had more HP & torque than the 1.8 and makes for a great driver.”

    “I have owned five Mexicos and 13 Ghibli’s over the last 25 years and theses are such great cars . Mexicos are very similar to the Ghibli as they share many mechanical components and the same parts book. Dry sump for the Ghibli and wet for the Mexico. both cars on BAT currently are very nice examples. I used to own a Maserati Restoration company in Santa Barbara CA and had many Maserati Gt from the 50s thru the early 70s come thru my care. My fav was a 1969 4.7 Mexico with power steering Oxford…”

    “That’s the car that started it all for me. I went to high school with Bob Akin’s son, who I believe is a member here at BaT. I remember fondly of him driving a new 944 onto the Quad and seeing it for the first time. As a kid, that was so exciting.”

    “It’s incredible to see the one-year only chromed exhaust extensions! They were unique to 1975 Formulas and 400-powered Trans Ams.
    For record, the chromed splitters, which were introduced on the 1974 GTO were included with the Trans Am’s “455 HO” package introduced in midyear 1975 and used throughout the remainder of the 1970s and into the 1980s.”

    “When I was 17 my best friend bought almost this same car – his was actually a ‘67 but they look the same to me. At the time it was an 8 year old used car, bought for $800
    What a great car that was! Some of my favorite memories are cruising with my best friend in the Cadillac listening to Led Zeppelin. A true Party Barge! He passed away last year, still my best friend. Thanks for the memories”

    “I had to give up my old track day 911 I bought many years ago at 19. I promised myself that one day I would find a way to fill that void. I guess today’s that day.
    Thanks everyone. We had a great time.”

    “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…”

    “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…”

    “………..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.”

    “Beautiful car, tremendous history. Made all the more valuable in my eyes by not being a static display. Too many “experienced” cars are doomed to a life in a cage, never again to be heard or seen performing the purpose they were built for…driving with spirit. Thanks, and good luck.”

    “A story to make your day.
    In 1983 reading an Automotive News, an ad taken out had a Lamborghini Countach for sale in Middle East, 35K US.
    Hard to complete the purchase, Mersk shipping, import, bonds, DOT, EPA etc. While this was going,
    This dignitary sent pictures of dozens of other Ferrari’s, Lamborghini’s, Rolls Royce’s etc. sitting in sand cover lots. Even a P-51 sitting in a park. Seems almost like when cars ran out of gas they were just parked!
    There were two Miura’s, one red…”

    “Thank you for the positive comments and questions.
    This Citroen has always been owned by enthusiasts. It was sold new in France and the second owner moved it to the Netherlands ( a Mecca for Citroens)in 2000. He drove it to the 50th and 60th Citroen jubilees in Paris. Somewhere I’ve got a picture of it driving by the Arc de Triomphe. I’ve got a 2” thick folder of service receipts from the previous owner. He passed from covid and I bought it and imported to the states in the fall of…”
