    “Im adding a “like” comment to this car. It comes because it is the first car that appeared on BAT, and I came to BAT after reading the New York Times and WSJ, without being able to find a positive article on anything in either. So Compliments to the owner for a nice car, and BAT for providing a forum where one can see and read about pleasant things….”

    “@gtrdave I really like your comment about how 1967 fits in the Mopar muscle evolution. Up to this point the engineers were designing and building race cars and the styling was irrelevant to their efforts. Marketing was catching on to what was going on with the GTO and subsequent successes by the competition even though Mopar still held the performance advantage. “Scoops and stripes” and cool names were the answer and the 1967 B-bodies nailed it. Even if you couldn’t afford the Hemi the 440…”

    “Combating the maintenance scaries with an impressive log of care.
    From VW’s golden era. This being on the lot next to the MKIV .:R32 and V10 TDI Touareg is as good as it’ll get.”

    EMow commented on No Reserve: 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton W12

    “Hello BaT! I’m the builder and seller of this E30, and I’ll be here throughout the auction to answer any questions and provide additional photos or videos if requested.
    This project began as an effort to build an electric E30 that felt like a proper driver’s car rather than simply an EV conversion. Nearly every component was selected with that goal in mind—from the Tesla Plaid drive unit and custom battery system to the suspension, brakes, and chassis upgrades.
    After the build was…”

    “By the time this particular Fulvia was built, Fiat had owned Lancia long enough to have begun incorporating some profit-motivated changes. I spent a lot of time at the Lancia display at the Turin Auto Show in 1972, and following that wrote an article for the LANCIANA, the American Lancia Club newsletter. Some things I noted were “…the paint and overall finish is better than ever. Suspension bits are stampings now, rather than the nice hardware that we’re used to.. Plastic clips replace the…”

    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…”

    Myron_Vernis commented on 1995 Autech Zagato Gavia

    “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!”

    “I bought my 1st 300SL roadster in 1987, and sold my last one in 2018. I have loved the model since I was a 1st grader in 1957. I found the 300SL to be remarkably bulletproof when sorted by an excellent mechanic. I 1st met Scott Grundfor in 1989. Because I lived on the East Coast, most work on my 300SL’s was done by Paul Russell, in Massachusetts. My ownership experience was greatly enhanced by my membership in the Gull Wing Group, founded in 1961, and dedicated to the preservation, and…”

    Last_Roadster commented on 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster

    “Nine-liter Viper power with a six-speed manual and a transfer case? Look out SRT Trackhawk! As a kid I was intrigued by Bill Harrah’s daily driver Jerrari, the Wagoneer with a Columbo V12, but this has more than twice the HP! Amazing, GLWTA!”

    Valiantjim commented on Viper-Powered 1979 Jeep Cherokee Chief 6-Speed by Vigilante

    “Just shy of 50 years old, and the design is still stunning. And mechanically, an easy car to maintain and a fun car to drive, especially in this original configuration. One of the landmark Ferraris that will always turn heads wherever you drive it. GLWTA.”

    “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.”

    “This car appears to be the very car that AK built for road racing, then retired it for show car duty. I was hired by Hooters at the start of the 92 season to take the car to many of the Hooters restaurants for display. I also make several commercials driving the car at different racetracks, and some were televised on national tv that year. I have such fond memories of the years working for Hooters and with Alan at many of his appearances at the restaurants. I continued on with Hooters in a…”

    JohnF1966 commented on No Reserve: 1978 Plymouth Sapporo

    “Ford used the turbo fours in the mid-80’s to position themselves for higher gas prices. Fantastic, future-focused cars like the Mustang SVO, Merkur XR4Ti, Thunderbird Turbo Coupe…and then gas prices fell and the Mustang GT became the star. The SVO has one of the most unique (and short-lived, and polarizing) front end designs in Mustang history. This is a great example and should be fun to watch!”
