CharlesDawson commented on 1,200-Mile 1987 Buick GNX

“Whoever gets this car is getting a winner. Early 99 builds are the pinnacle of the analog porsche experience. I have a similar cab as a daily driver and it is simply divine. Despite the fact that these are the lower priced Porsches in market, it simply makes it a genius value buy. The best water-cooled setup, analog pulls and cables, and (for my spec) no nannies. ABS ONLY! You cannot go wrong with these year and this build. I’m heavily biased, but I do think this is the ideal Porsche for daily…”

“Such a time warp, this is so cool, and seeing it on that trailer reminds me of all the old Drag Racing photos i have seen in books, and magazines from back in the day, someone is going the opportunity to get a very cool piece of nostalgia today. I have always loved Dusters, when I was 3 years old, 1973, my parents had an Orange 1971 340 Duster, its the first classic car I remember when I was a kid. I have a picture of me standing next to it somewhere. GLWTA”

“This is the real deal; with a fabulous history. This Ace-Bristol would be an amazing vehicle to take to vintage sports car races, rallies, and/or classic sports car shows. It will attract attention and be a lot of fun.
I am familiar with this seller; you can trust you are getting something very special.

“I would have thought Tail of the Dragon at the start of the driving video. But I think I need to get myself out to the west coast for some of your roads. So nice to see cars being used as intended – heck of a build with proof in the performance. Very-very nice, sir.”

“Somewhat related, gearhead Nick Mason (Pink Floyd) took part in a documentary “La Carrera Panamericana” in the early 1990s, which is just awesome. Wonderful cinematography of the actual race, with Pink Floyd as the soundtrack.
I stumbled upon the VHS in a bargain bin in the mid-’90s, but it’s all over YouTube now.

Skip the phone or the iPad when viewing. This gem needs to be seen on your big screen TV, with the audio CRANKED! ;-)”

“This was my dream car when I was in 1st grade. I had (and still have) a Matchbox car of this car in the same color! This brings back so many great memories. Cars are a beautiful reminder of the past. @seller – thank you for bringing this to auction. Best of luck.”

LegacyGraphicDesign commented on 1968 Jaguar XKE Series 1.5 4.2 Roadster 5-Speed

“When I think about my 16 years with Penry, I often think about the adventures we went on. Here’s a little story for you….It was 2016 and I had been hired to do a show in Missoula, MT. The thought of not being able to mountain bike, camp, or play my guitar for a whole summer led me to pack him up and hit the road. I drove straight through to a friend’s house in St Paul. The next day I headed northwest to North Dakota so I could camp for a couple of days at Theodore Roosevelt National Park…”

PenrysMom commented on No Reserve: 2007 BMW 328xi Sports Wagon 6-Speed

“Ok, I am digging deep into the Archives on this one. The year is 1992 and this is my high school yearbook. My buddy’s dad had a 1987 black 911 turbo and my friends brother had a 1987 928 S4, the third one is me in my dad’s Porsche at 17 years old dreaming off the future. That picture is 34 years old and 51 year old me has it in my garage still:) This car has brought me happiness for decades and hopefully the next care taker of it will experience the same joy it has brought me and my family.”

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

“I spent 2 years restoring this car with the great guys at Universally Modified Performance. Also, a big shout at Extraordinaries Custom paint. They both did a great job. As a partner at Andretti Global, I had access to the greatest guys who know so much about this car. The majority of the parts on this car are original parts from michaels actual races in 1991. I worked with both Michael and Mario to make sure everything was as accurate as possible. It’s truly a big part of IndCar history.”

Diverdave36 commented on Ex–Michael & Mario Andretti 1991 Lola-Chevrolet-Ilmor T91/00 Indy Car

“A well deserved love letter I might add. Congrats to the owner/builder on a job extremely well done. Visually and through his explanations, it looks and sounds like it truly was a labor of love. I’ll have to take his word that it isn’t a show car because it surely looks otherwise to me.”

Oldcarguy45 commented on 433-Powered ’32 Chevrolet Series BA Confederate 5-Window Coupe 6-Speed

“On Thanksgiving eve of 1969 my father drove home a brand new 1970 SX. Rally red, white vinyl top, white bucket seats, sport steering wheel and side mirrors, etc. I was 17 at the time and still have it! Without my father’s knowledge, I immediately swapped the 2 barrel carb for the quadrant which really changed the performance. The drive train is bullet proof. Almost 57 years later and the engine still cranks right up and pulls like a horse! Our domestic cars from 65-71 were fabulous!”

JAY-Z commented on 1968 Dodge Charger R/T

“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 👍”

“Well, it was fun bidding on this one. I’m thrilled to buy a 6.0 in such a unique color. Seller did a great job in answering all my questions. I look forward to her being part of the collection. Thanks again to all.”

BlackVapor commented on 2001 Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0

“Thanks all! Beautiful auction. Candidly, I know nothing about these cars! I am a Ferrari guy. The way I see it, my dream car is a 250 California spider and this is as close as I’m ever going to get. I’m going to drive the wheels off of it and, if anything should ever happen to the motor, I’ll throw a Colombo in there and will be halfway home!”

happiesttrees commented on 1964 Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider

“Wow! Not many cars show up here that makes me gasp, but when this rare (and wonderful) car appeared in my alerts, it got my attention. Back when these first came out, I was a college kid who had a 1988 Mazda cab plus pickup. The local Mazda dealer was very close to campus so getting it serviced there was super easy. This is back in the day when dealers were not always big shiny, fancy buildings. The dealer was small. The showroom held one car and had wood panelling.. but one day, while my truck…”
