“One of America’s coolest four door sedans ever built, in a beautiful rare color, in excellent condition. Wow!”
“A rare Terminator here. Only 610 Redfire ‘verts rolled off the assembly line in ’03, and only 196 of those had the Parchment Suede seat inserts. GLWA!”

“Wow! What a coincidence! My current 993 cup-based racecar has THEE original M64/70 993 Cup 3.8L engine that was originally in this BaT car listed (before John Ruther had it converted to an RSR, courtesy of Alwin Springer of ANDIAL and who was also the head of PMNA back then). Basically I have the original low hours still-sealed 3.8L Cup motor and original motorsport ECU/DME that belonged to this car listed when it arrived stateside back in 1995. Small world indeed!”

“When approaching a B24S Spider from the rear, a couple of times when not paying attention I have been fooled and thought early Alfa Romeo 750 Giulietta Spider only to realize I am in the presence of true automotive greatness.
Back in the 1960s when I was a gopher for legendary race driver David Piper on his 250 GTO and then 250 P Ferraris at Goodwood he drove Lancias as his Daily Driver. I asked him why when he raced Ferrari’ finest machinery and he said ‘You need to understand how…”

“Honda corporate donated 50 of these Big Reds to our Sheriff’s department in 1990, and provided advanced training to me and the rest of our deputies who were assigned these vehicles, including taking on thick underbrush at speed, when a four wheel ATV would dry dock. They became marked tactical vehicles for an amazingly-wide variety of extreme duties. What a magnificent machine. GLWTA!!!!!”

“It’s hard to let my “Baby” go, after 55 years and so many upgrades and good experience. I hope the next owner appreciates and enjoys it as much!”

“Gotta love ❤️ 84.9 CENT/gal gas on 10 JAN 1994. Seriously, this 2nd Gen (1992) Honda Wagon is virtually identical to the one our family drove from that year to 2009 with zero issues. It was the reason I got another white 1993, virtually identical to this one, on BaT recently to relive the best car ever. It actually has a little “Grannymobile” sticker on the rear window. GLWTA!”

“My best friend has his dad’s 240Z in this color combo. His dad died when he was young and he’s dreamt of getting it out of the garage, rust repaired, and running since. Sadly I’m not sure that day will ever come. This one… this is just fantastic. Wish he could have one go in his dad’s car… one day!
Either way… @raffi is a top person and seller! Best of luck to the future buyer! The car will be delivered as promised.”

“The German language 1989 color info brochure from Porsche lists lachsilbermetallic as color code Z9. I only see three other US market ’89s in this color, would argue that it’s more than 3 paint cans rare, per Rennbow.”

“When I first saw this auction I wanted to Jump! I expected there to be an Eruption of bids due to provenance. Driving at 10/10th would be like Runin’ With the Devil for sure. This car is the stuff Dreams are made of. If I won, I would definitely Dance The Night Away. OK I am done…”

“I grew up in a family of chevy owners, just chevy’s, and I had my big block in high school. Then the new girl friend asks me over to meet her family and what does the Dad have, an Opel Manta in orange. He takes me out to inspect it and at some point hands me the key and says, have fun. Well, I did and from that point forward my world changed. Tried to talk my dad into letting me buy an MGB, that didn’t work until I bought my own in college and started auto X’ing with it. Then road racing…”

“This is an absolutely stunning car. We had this one at Macchinissima III and it was a favorite. I had the pleasure to drive it a little bit. It is very approachable but the Ford engine does scream with all the best noises. Condition is on another level of this one.”

“My grandfather bought one of these new back in the day and got a surprise when he picked it up after its first scheduled service at the dealership. The service writer put “Aspen” on the repair order, so my grandfather asked him to correct it. Confused, the service guy walked over to his car and pointed at the “Aspen” badge on the side of the car. They walked around to the drivers side and were greeted by a “Volare” badge! I assume the workers on the assembly line just grabbed the…”

“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…”

“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…”

“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.”
