Here’s yesterday’s comments of note

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

“Hi all, I am the previous owner of this amazing little E30 Touring.
I can vouch for the condition of this car. I daily drove it for over a year before selling it to the current owner on Bring a Trailer. It has been well taken care of by the current owner, myself, and the previous owner (before me) who is a close friend of mine.
Collectively we have put many hours and dollars into keeping this E30 in great condition. It drives tight, it drives clean, and nothing on the road today can…”

“This and 600 acres in Wyoming with a custom rally track and an A-frame home.”

“It is vehicles like this which make @BaT one of the most fascinating automotive places and a standout on the internet. @Bat continues to amaze and astound regularly and to buck the trend of the mass of online auction sites.
The depth of knowledge from the BaT spectator gallery is staggering and inspirational from contributors sharing their collective wealth of automotive riches and wisdom. This is the very core of what makes @BaT such a fascinating and entertaining resource….”

“in all this auction excitement, I’ve devoted a certain amount of my morning coffee time searching the internet for my own Ferrari 288 GTO – a number of which are thankfully within my price range, including Walmart, for about $100.
However, due to their scaled down 1:18 size and non-running status, it’s unlikely I’ll be driving it anywhere other than “my imagination” during this lifetime.
Perhaps my NEXT lifetime.”

“Another interesting fact thanks to Andy is this car was shipped on August 17, 1965 and delivered to Hayward Motors in CA and on the deliver truck were two additional 350’s as well as a prototype GT40….now that would be a cool truck to see driving down the road!!! This car is a statement piece and one of the true great American muscle cars.”

“Fantastic listing, beautiful wagon. Every time I look through the gallery it brings back memories of the days of wooden picnic baskets and surfboards with the family, when times were just a tad slower. @bosshoss3406pack thank you for the tag, great memories with this one.”

“Oh my… not sure if anyone remembers the ’67 Plymouth GTX ads in Hot Rod magazine. Roasting the rear tires?
I do… and wanted one ever since!”

“If you haven’t ever heard an F355 with a Tubi exhaust in a nice decently long tunnel run, you should. The 355’s have a Flat plane crankshaft, and with a Tubi Exhaust has a Formula 1 sound… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jchd1Sj6PsM If you are in a hurry, you can start at 30 seconds. If the link does not work you can go to Youtube and search for “Ferrari F355 tunnel run” (by Fast Terrific) Not many cars can give you goosebumps when you hear them, this one does.”

“Fun reading the comments here. I’ve owned many 99s over the years. My first car was a Topaz Yellow ‘76 GL 4 door with 90k miles that I bought in 1980 from my local Saab dealership, Reinertsen Motors. It was $3000, but I traded in my 1 year old Motobecane moped, so net cash was $2400 (plus tax). I later traded that 99 at Reinertsen Motors for a ‘74 Carolina Blue 99 LE like this one because I preferred the utility of the hatchback and it looked more up to date at the time as the 900 was…”

“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:

“The seller has done a good job giving a brief history of Cisitalia. I have studied these cars for over 40 years and have four of them (Two 202 coupes and two D46s) and had a 202 Cabriolet so perhaps I can provide some clarification. Approximately 110 coupes were made and about 60 cabriolets. Pinin Farina (later changed to Pininfarina) made the first batch of coupes in 1947-48, but then ramped up on working for Ferrari, etc. so most of the remaining coupes were done by Stabilimente Farina and…”

Cisitalia_Guy commented on Ex–Mille Miglia Storica 1952 Cisitalia 202 SC Gran Sport Cabriolet by Stabilimenti Farina

“I am the farmer who owned this car for years and everything the seller says is true. It was never in any kind of wreck while I owned it. I drove it for about 100000 miles. It had about 22000 miles on it when I purchased it. I drove it like a 930 should be and never had any problems with it, other than I decided to have the engine rebuilt as stated. If you’ve never driven an older Porche over a hundred mph be sure to have both hands on the wheel and pay attention!! The buyer sent a person…”

“My first car was a black 1987 325es. I loved that car and always told myself I would own another E30. This one is perfect.”

“Every time I see one of these I can’t help but think so fondly of Ed “Lancia” Levin and his remarkable knowledge surrounding these cars.
These really are spectacular cars in every respect. Once you drive one, you never forget it. @seller needs no introduction here so bid with confidence. These have been woefully undervalued compared with similar era cars, but I believe all that is about to change as more people wake up to US landed examples like this, and the amazing amount of fun one can…”
