“Tip of the hat to the full undercarriage detail, complete tool kit, original warning stickers on dip stick & suspension components and gas filler recess weld seam photos. This thing is crisp!”

“I just got back from a wonderful trip to Italy.
My faith in humanity was restored, never in my life had I seen so many cool wagons and hot hatches ripping up and down the Autostrade and country roads. Even really neat turbo diesel variants.
The Europeans get it.
Us Americans don’t…still not sure why every household Stateside needs a full size pick-up truck or massive SUV the size of my first college apartment.
I love this auction collection!
The Toyota Crowns are so fantastic, do not…”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“So an observation of a very obscure Honda factoid. This car has the dealer installed, recall program Takata black plastic guides still in place on the front seat belt latches. The Honda and Acura recall notice back then stated there were complaints about the front seat belts not latching properly. This was Takata’s solution. There was a rumor published at the time saying Honda’s president attributed the problem to us Americans spilling our soft drinks into the latches. Funny, he was…”

“As a Viper enthusiast, I’ve always found myself drawn to the unique, well-optioned examples, particularly the cars that came through the GTC 1 of 1 program.
I tend to break the Gen V ACRs into three general categories. First are the more race-focused 3-speaker ACRs, with 456 produced. Second are the factory Special Editions — GTS-R, VooDoo II, Snakeskin, 1:28 and Dealer Edition — which account for 214 cars in total. Finally, there are the 290 GTC ACRs, a little over 100 of which…”

“Too bad the days of cheap, simple, practical, reliable 4 bangers without screens and a bunch of annoying tech are gone. An endangered species indeed. GLWTA!”

“A Volvo PV544 has been my dream car since I was a teenager. I belong to a women’s vintage car club here on the CA Central Coast called the Highway Honeys. “Lemondrop” as I am calling this beauty would be a perfect addition to my life!”

“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!”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“GM Design department was on fire in the mid sixties. Everything from the Buick Riviera, and the second gen Corvair, to the Corvette Stingray and these 66+67 Chevelles. They look as good today, as when they were new in the showroom.”

SDCR commented on 454-Powered 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe 4-Speed
“What a great time capsule. I would do just enough to get this one safe and roadworthy once again, and drive it with a permanent smile. This ol’ goat needs to “Break Away” from the barn, and stretch her legs on the open road once again! =)”

GMFoMoCoUSA commented on No Reserve: Original-Owner 1969 Pontiac GTO Hardtop Project
“We take care of several of these at the marina.
Strong hulls from that era.
The V-Drive is far superior to the stern drive version too. C-C built them both ways.”

Shyanne commented on 1985 Toyota Pickup XtraCab SR5 4×4 5-Speed
“@volvoracer9 – That is an excellent question. The guy who created this went to great lengths to make it accurate. As far as I have found, everything is correct except the brakes/wheels/hubs. A true MC850 will have 4 bolt wheels and hubs with a different front brake caliper. I put on adjustable Spax shocks but the original Koni shocks come with it. Engine and head are correct for MC850 as is the entire interior including the rear seat which is basically cushions on top of a storage bin. Club…”

“Hell yeah! I owned one when I was younger, and of course nostalgia is a strong drug. I can say this much, she will get driven!”

“Hopefully the new owner can get in touch with Bobby and get a picture alongside the car, It would be worth the drive or plane ticket! This is a once in a lifetime auction.”

“Nobody paid much attention when the old Dodge arrived.
A 1970 Dodge Polara Police Pursuit sedan painted in authentic black and white with a 440 Magnum under the hood wasn’t exactly subtle. Long, square-jawed, and purposeful, it looked ready to issue citations despite having been retired for decades. Still, at Fort Stockton’s annual Classic Car Roundup, it found itself parked between a candy-apple red Corvette and a turquoise Thunderbird convertible. Compared to chrome and tailfins, an old…”

“As an owner of an exceptional example like this one all I can say is it is about time these cars get their due! There is nothing like them for comfort on the road today. Absolutely one of a kind. Great auction seller!”
