“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.”

manwellr commented on 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo

“Nice original car! Not too many still have T3 headlights that haven’t been restored to concours standards, so that says something about the originality.
Regarding the engine, from what I understand, very few 57s had 265s. The engine stamp would be good info to have. As a July built 283 4v, it should be something like T710FC (I had a Baltimore built 57 that predated this by about a week and it’s engine was T703F).”

“Sometimes I look on BaT and find a listing I was not expecting. First what a beautiful one off car. With an interesting history from the beginning factory special order. It has everything I want from a vintage sports car. GLWTA.”

“My husband has been wanting a Porsche since he was 8. This is a dream come true. Thank you all!”

enricojillforlenza commented on 1980 Porsche 911SC Coupe

“I’ve seen these cars in person when they were new at Straman’s over next to the Orange County Airport. The workmanship is superb. No one believes me when I say that there was a convertible CRX.
More importantly than that, no one believes there was EVER a teddy bear wheel made for any car – and I’ve told stories about them on a Volkswagen Cabriolet I once had. I have only ever seen ONE at a tire dealer. Never a complete set.
This car embodies every story I’ve ever told about cars made of…”

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

“My family has been the proud steward of this remarkable 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham for nearly 70 years, and it has been one of our most treasured possessions. My father purchased this car new in 1957 as a gift to my mother, and it has been a part of our family’s story ever since.
My father, Ralph S. Peer, was a pioneering figure in the American music industry; the A&R executive behind some of the most historically significant recordings ever made, including Crazy Blues, the first…”

“The car that blasted through Porsche RR7 at Laguna Seca Raceway in Oct 2023. I could remember being invited to the unveiling of the GT3 R Rennsport. Patrick Long was introducing this beauty in the hot pits at Laguna Seca Raceway outside of garage 12. Great memories capturing this beauty through the crowd of enthusiasts and gear heads at 9:30 pm at night after day one of Porsche’s RR7. One of the best modern day GT cars by Metzger and Porsche.”

“A cool Ferrari moment I thought I would share, the Mondial was the only model Ferrari pope John Paul II was ever seen in. This picture comes from the Pope’s visit to the legendary Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy back in 1988. He later celebrated Mass at the Fiorano Circuit racetrack. Instead of traveling in the regular Popemobile that day, the Pope took a ride in one of the Ferraris that was waiting for him at the factory. The mondial remains an icon with timeless pininfarina lines, mid…”

Carguy4fun commented on 1991 Ferrari Mondial T Cabriolet

“This is about as thoughtful of a build as they come. The TJM T17 is the best aftermarket bumper in my opinion. I’m curious about the Kenwood touch screen – I’ve got an ’03, and am not familiar with this navigation delete.”

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

“A great car with a great story! I’m often surprised how wing cars are optioned. For example, the C-21 Center front-seat cushion and folding armrest with column automatic, seen here. Deluxe wheel covers? I guess I assume it’s a class of car that would naturally be more loaded up.
Of course their existence as the manufacturers were pushing the limits of NASCAR homologation rules ensures they are inherently fascinating. Producing them had nothing to do with marketing them for profit.…”

Valiantjim commented on 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona

“Beautiful Square body! I have had 4 over the last 4 decades and have an 85 GMC Sierra Classic 3500 that is a Fall Guy replica. These trucks are imo the best trucks ever made. Someone will be getting a beautiful example and it being the first year of production is even a nicer feature. GLWTA👌👌👌”

“@64_S1 Not only can you drive this back home to the Midwest, you SHOULD! As one who has driven my S2 Elan coast to coast and border to border, I highly recommend it, with a couple of caveats. First, as you noted, install the side windows. Even with the top down it will keep the wind from beating you up. Then, when you put the top up, only if needed for major rain of course, you will stay relatively dry.
Second, do not use interstate highways unless there is no reasonable alternative. As the…”

“Awesome time capsule! I wish you could buy new cars as simple and reliable as this. Save the manuals!”

“This 6-series Packard has been a goal to own one – of my Dad and I – our whole lives and finally hope to obtain. This would be for me to enjoy for my retirement.”

JoefR commented on 1929 Packard Deluxe Eight 645 Dual-Cowl Sport Phaeton by Dietrich

“I own a 1938 Flying Squirrel. The engine number is one digit away from this bike and the frame number is two digits away. When I contacted the Scott Club Registry to authenticate my bike I was advised that 220 Flying Squirrels were produced (500cc and 600cc versions combined) in 1938. The whereabouts of 101 were known. Of those, twenty had the redesigned detachable head as does this bike. GLWTS”
