“Yet another 1st for BaT.
Longer and wider than an Escalade, the Celestiq is the pinnacle of American craftsmanship and luxury.”

“My Dad was a district service manager for GM in the 90s and early 2000’s and as a part of that we would get a new demo car to drive every couple mos. After the dismal launch of the Aztec in 2000, GM wanted to get make the best out of a bad situation so they gave them to every service manager in the country to “get the word out”.
When I turned 16 and got my license, we got the Aztek. Bright yellow if I recall correctly, and rather than the usual 3 mos cycle, we had it for a full 7 mos.…”

“I had a new Pinto and within a year I found a deal on a proto turbocharger set-up from a well-known Detroit area tuner. It was comparatively crude to this one without an intercooler and lots of lag. But once it spooled up, it was pretty impressive. I recall keeping pace with a 340 Duster in 2nd and 3rd gear which had the other driver wondering “WTF?!” But the tubing to the intake was a long way from the relocated carburetor and in cold weather it was really hard to start because that long…”

“When I was about 12 years old, my Mom’s cousin had one of these. He would load me, my brother, and two other younger cousins in the back with the jumper seats in the closed position. As he fishtailed down the road, the four of us would slide around on that metal flooring – back and forth, back and forth smashing into each other and the sides. Laughing all the way!!!!!!!! Probably not the safest thing to do, but we survived. – GLWA”

“In 1964 this car appeared in my neighborhood in Ft. Lauderdale Florida. I was an impressionable fifteen-year-old and Dr. Lane was daily driving this 904 all over town. One day I chased him on my bicycle to inquire about the car. He generously let me sit in the car and told me about his racing plans. He traded in a Ferrari 250 (SWB) to obtain this Porsche. Dr. Lane was a renaissance man- brain surgeon, commadore at Lauderdale Yacht Club, pilot and owner of twin engine airplane, SCCA racer,…”

“Oh hello, old friend! I managed Aston Martin Newport Beach for 6+ years, I spec’d this car personally, and I sold it to the original owner. Used to see him driving in Newport/Laguna all the time. I don’t work there anymore, so I don’t have access to the service records, but my memory was that the original owner did the scheduled maintenance on time, and the remainder of the service visits you see on the carfax are for tires. I seem to remember that he didn’t have the best luck with…”

“What a fabulous example of the timeless Pagoda; interesting history and colors, well-documented and presented (all the spot welds you could ever ask for!), two tops, and three pedals….. Surely this must be in the top 10% of 280SLs recently offered here?!?”

“I went through the police academy in one of these back in 1997. No Crown Vic could out run or out maneuver this car when we played cops and robbers on the obstacle course. It was hands down a superior car in terms of handling and horsepower. Every time I see one I’m taken back to the driving portion of the academy. Fond memories.”

“Love that area of Wisconsin. Two of my three nephews live in Madison now – gorgeous city. We visited often when I was a kid and Pop was into camping with the Starcraft. Made many a stop at Wisconsin Dells and remember it just as you describe! Sincere condolences on the passing of your mother (and untimely/early passage of your father). It reminded me this morning to cherish whatever time I have left with the Beehive. Have a blast with the Honda – another wonderful memory machine for me – and…”

“For those asking: it will be back close to home. I’m in the Virginia Beach area so about 2 hours from Richmond where the original owner/builder was.
I joined JUST to bid on this car. It’s been my favorite build of all time since I saw it 10+ years ago. Once I saw it was for sale I knew I had to take a shot at it.
So unbelievably happy that I won!”
