    “I just had my ’72 4.5 overhauled…new injectors, hoses, belts, plugs, wires, coil…
    Runs better than a brand new Caddy!!! So responsive yet regal to drive. Ice cold A/C. Dream car. They are fabulous when tuned. GLWTA!”

    “A huge thank you to @pkatzakian (previous owner) for kindly getting these period photographs over to me. Following the discussion in the comments, Phil was able to send them through, and I’m delighted to be able to share them here with everyone.
    These photographs show RT3-468 during Phil’s ownership wearing its California Cooler livery and add another documented chapter to the car’s history and provenance. It has been a real pleasure reconnecting with Phil after all these years and…”

    “My first car was a black 1987 325es. I loved that car and always told myself I would own another E30. This one is perfect.”

    “Every time I see one of these I can’t help but think so fondly of Ed “Lancia” Levin and his remarkable knowledge surrounding these cars.
    These really are spectacular cars in every respect. Once you drive one, you never forget it. @seller needs no introduction here so bid with confidence. These have been woefully undervalued compared with similar era cars, but I believe all that is about to change as more people wake up to US landed examples like this, and the amazing amount of fun one can…”

    “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!”

    “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…”

    “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.

    “In August 1981 at the Laguna Seca raceway, Briggs Cunningham was the guest of honor. He brought a good number of the original race cars to the track for that weekend and invited all the drivers and mechanics that had driven for him over the years for a weekend reunion. My father was one of those drivers. He and I rode our motorcycles from the Midwest out to California, timing it so that he could be there for the commemorative weekend. Mr. Cunningham assigned the C4 roadster to Fred Wacker to be…”

    “The Individual Velvet Blue pops with the Gold wheels! These cars are like shifter karts with doors. People that know, will know! I’m almost to the break in service on mine. Can’t wait for the rest of the power to be unleashed!! Like it needs more!! Many smiles per mile!”

    “When you are doing one of these cars, NEVER bond the bare steel cage without replacing the zinc chromate primer. That is a valid and strong corrosion inhibitor, used in aviation since the 1930’s. Today the cheap and easy way is to go to Aircraft Spuce and order the primer in rattlecan, but for a restoration of a C2 coupe, there is a hundred year upgrade. Consolidated Coatings of Riverside CA makes aircraft polyurethane in “yellow zinc” and “green zinc” colors for WWII aircraft restoration.…”

    “Cars were built a la carte in those days. Note that the window sticker lists it as a “sold car,” meaning that it was ordered by the customer in advance, and built by the factory to his specifications. B-body Plymouths used completely different sheet metal and wheelbases between 2 door and 4 door models in those years, with these 2 doors having a very high style. The guy probably just wanted a stripper 2 door which was a common configuration in earlier years. I remember an older gentleman in our…”

    “Having hands on experience with dry ice as well as spending time with Scott dry ice cleaning early on I will confirm 100% the “dryce system” of detailing is NEXT LEVEL !!!
    This is the perfect opportunity for a higher volume dealership, museum, or someone looking to jump all in on this business with benchmark level equipment. I started out in the automotive field in the 1990s detailing cars. I learned very quickly that a cheap rotary polisher, shop vac or carpet extractor was just a…”
