A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“This takes me right back to the ’90s. If you didn’t have a B16 or B18 swap, you wanted one. B16s, B18s, Frankenstein builds this is exactly what we were doing back then. Very cool.”
“These early GM hardtops (Buick and Oldsmobile also had this roofline on certain models in 1949) are both rare and a landmark design. Great proportions. Glad to see one on the market.”

“I’d randomly wake up at 2am just to go stare at it.”

“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:
“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!!!!!”

“Wow, what a stance on this spectacular F100 bumpside 4×4. The two-tone color scheme is awesome! Interior is nice and the engine is clean. Truly a cool build here!”

“The gap between the order date and the serialized date on the Marti report reminds me that Ford workers went on strike in the fall of 1976.
I had factory ordered a new Econoline 150 around the same time as this Bronco and I took delivery in January of 1977. My van was the same Midnight Metallic Blue as this Bronco. A Great color”

“As a retired Aerospace Engine-nerd, I can relate to this car and the OCD of the prior owners/family. This one won’t be restored nor turned for profit, but it will be driven in the desert southwest and turn over 100,000 miles within a year or so. I drive ’em, I don’t show them or brag about them. Enjoy your cars folks! We ain’t gettin’ any younger, time goes so quickly.
Enjoy your day. God Bless.”

“Awesome car. I love pic 149 because it tells a story of what likely happened to most radio delete Camaros in the early 80s when these cars were cheap enough to be purchased by teenagers who would not be caught dead in a car with no tunes. I can see the kid with his dad’s hacksaw, tin snips and pliers lying on his back in that trunk going to town. A couple hours later, with his brand new Jensen Tri-Axials installed, he’s cruising around town with tunes blaring. Radio delete option be damned!!”

“Dave the owner of this car, hosted the Chicago chapter of the Alfa Club at his shop, The Giulietta Studio, last weekend for our annual swap meet. I got to see this car in person, and all I can say is WOWW!! This car is spectacular. Down to details like proper hose clamps, it’s just done so nicely and correctly. Not that you’ll need it, but GLWTA!”

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

“Very happy to have won this e12. I owned a 1980 528i for 12.5 years until it was crushed by a massive oak tree limb. The e12 is my favorite car in the world.”

“Dad had a Del Ray Skylounger when we were kids. The bunk above the cab could be made into seats. We loved riding up there (no such thing as seat belts, of course).”
