“That fuse panel is as good as it gets for 48 years old, no wiring hacks, clean relay blocks, no signs of burnt fuse terminals. And all the fuse positions have the correct fuse in them, and fuse 13 is supposed to be empty. Gotta love the hand-painted stripes on many of the wires, these early cars are full of little easter eggs like that.
Definitely worth the hassle of getting the pics to instill bidder confidence!”

WERA22 commented on No Reserve: 2022 Honda Odyssey Elite by Stay Tuned

“Great spot on the 2022 gearbox oil typo.
Our technicians during that time and during 2023 and 2021 records are all former trained factory Lamborghini guys. You can look them up!
As you can see both Motul and Lucas gear oil was used in 2021 and 2023, so I am very confident this is a “ShopWare” typo.
Our software system in the shop was very clunky until recently.
The former owner was very fussy, this is one of the best 1996-1997 Diablo Roadster examples we have seen. The car was…”

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

“The original owner of this car was a friend of mine and I can vouch that this car is everything it is claimed to be. John was a lifetime “collector” and over the years he bought a number of brand new vehicles, drove them home from the dealer, and never drove them again. For him, it was all about “having”. When he was a youngster in the 70’s and 80’s, he was well known in Studebaker circles for his cross-country road trips in his fleet Studebaker Diesel trucks.
One very minor correction..…”

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

“Thks auction has brought back some memories for me. Back in the mid/late fifties my parents had a 1952 Buick Roadmaster woody wagon, maroon with maroon leather interior. It was may fathers favorite car out of many Buicks he had owned. On many warm Sunday afternoons my parents would load me and my brother in the Buick along with a pick nick basket, and sometimes a cocker spaniel, and we’d go for drive. Often the drive took us to a place here in the hills of north central Pennsylvania know as…”

Aridgerunner commented on 1948 Mercury Wagon Woody Marmon-Herrington 4×4

“One of the coolest daily drivers of all time. A wagon with a supercharged v8. The six-speed manual is the cherry on top. GLWTA!”

70_duster commented on 15k-Kilometer 2014 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon 6-Speed

“I was a teenager HS student working at the corner service station. We had a local Dr that had one of these, his was the beautiful dark blue with matching padded top. He would pull in for gas, 27 gallon tank. After putting the car in “Park” he would tilt the wheel which would almost go horizontal on these and throw a small towel that covered the wheel from rim edge to edge. Gas up. Then………the fun would begin! Around to the car wash. Customers would be directed into the wash at the correct…”

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

“I am a retired Industrial Designer. Those out there who studied the curriculum know the hours and sleepless nights spent in the shop building scale models of soooo many consumer goods for curriculum projects….clay, plaster, and YES…WOOD.
I am speechless as I view this work of art.
YES…puns will abound here and as the new “caretaker”…(hopefully an arborist)… will soon discover…this is a MASTERPIECE in sculpting that will be the highlight any cruise/car show.
One thing every…”

LMGun commented on No Reserve: 1:1 Ford GT Wooden Display Model

“A ton of period chrome doo dads added to this bike. I can see both sets of floor boards, all hand controls, grips, shifter pegs and foot brake, fork lowers, crash bars, most of the case covers, and others I might not be seeing. That dual exhaust alone was probably $1k. That’s what we did to these bikes back in the day!”

ppointer commented on No Reserve: 67-Mile 1996 Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail Classic

“In ’68 my mom drove a ’65 impala… I remember sitting, well standing, behind pretending to cruise. Somehow I slipped it in N and rolled backwards into the street… I remember mom running out of the laundry mat in her feather hat and night robe… ha ha… I also remember sleeping in the rear window on long journeys. Different times! I was 4”

“My wife drove one in high school and college that was identical to this one. Her mom drove it before that. Someone hit her and totaled it right before I met her and she still talks about it daily. Gonna be a great addition.”

“Life is busy. Free time is minimal. BaT is my one escape each day. I love it when something truly unique shows up in a crowd of amazing vehicles. This was a pretty cool one to see show up. Can’t wait to watch it!”
