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

    “I remember seeing these at the Buick dealer in Jamestown , NY. Soon to be just a Honda dealer. Well equipped at base price, and hard to get one.[1976].
    I moved back to Washington DC, in mid 78. By fall of 1979, i ordered a [Catherine] brown base car, from a dealer in Fredericksburg VA, which I realized ,after 5 months, was never going to come in. While visiting the local huge dealer in Arlington, I saw a Red LX. I asked if I might buy it for sticker, and the salesmen agreed. Signed the buyers…”

    “I am in love. The opalescent paints that Jaguar used during this era are some of the best looking colors ever produced – almost like late ‘50s Detroit colors, but more delicate. Good luck with this auction, but with a car this good looking, I don’t think you need luck!”

    “I’ve had a black/tan 78 matchbox car on my workdesk for many many years, this will be my first ‘real’ 911. The dream, is now realized. Looking forward to the adventure ahead.”

    “Behold the magic of BaT:
    We’ve got what’s likely the nicest ‘Wagon Queen Family Truckster’ replica ever made currently available and now we’ve got an extremely close-enough example of what Clark W. Griswold traded-in at Lou Glutz Motors with this ‘70 Vista Cruiser.

    “Tip..!
    The person who wins this auction and also every non bidder / winner genuinely interested in important car history should buy the 1990 book “Hans Ledwinka, Seine autos sein leben”. Currently there is one offered on the internet at only 173 us.Even though it is in german,the pictures and technical drawings tell an interesting story. I myself triggered by this auction got the book out of my library just now and even got a bit nostalgic realising that its 60 plus year ago on a hitchhike…”

    “Anyone who follows Alfaholics’ work and is a Spider / Duetto fan knows this car as Alfa royalty. Fair amount of work to drop a Busso V6 in, and then later convert from right to left hand drive…”

    “This car always stuck out with ONE simple metric that I read back when it was being tested… 50mph to 75mph, it beat out the Testarossa and Porsche Carrera 4.
    I think we know a hybrid RAV4 today could probably do this, but in period it blew my socks off to know this.
    May this Swedish Testarossa be enjoyed for many more years. GLWTA”

    “Blue is such an underrated color for Ferraris. Most shades of blue look great on Ferraris, specially on larger, front-engine ones like this, the 612, or the FF.”

    “Reviewing the Marti Report on this beautiful F250 it appears that Teague Ford ordered it without a rear bumper. That was typical with Ford dealers in rural eastern Washington areas like Walla Walla. The factory installed rear bumpers offered by Ford at the time were considered inadequate for the kind of heavy duty usage intended by many customers – who were often farmers. Most often dealers in the area ordered pickups without rear bumpers to allow customers to select their preferred style from…”

    “I first met the owner, and viewed this Sprint over a decade ago at Concorso Italiano, and have driven with them in Provence. It’s exemplary of the great Giulietta sport touring experience. I didn’t expect the seller to ever let it go. I suspect he’s got something really special lined up as replacement.”

    “That Sport Top is an incredibly rare accessory. Not many were sold and few have survived in good condition. I’ve only seen one other intact one. The Model Prefix indicates it was built as a Utility trimmed Travel Top but somewhere along the line, the bulkhead and Sport Top were added. I wonder if it was the original owner. Interesting 800!”

    “I kind of feel like the 997.2 Turbo S is a hidden menu item. So many people talk about 997.1 Turbos and 991.1 Turbos, but this remains akin to a secret for enthusiasts.
    It has the smaller, more nimble feel of the 997 chassis coupled with the ferocity and traction of the PDK and AWD, and although these aren’t the Mezger engines they are stout.
    This generation remains somewhat of a ‘if you know you know’ type of Porsche, and there is SO MUCH to absolutely love about it. GLWTA!”

    “I have driven my black over red for 15 years, many times during Pebble car week and not once has anybody figured out it was an Ostermeir. The fuel door is perfectly contoured to the car,sits. Eli’s the belt line and it’s so small it’s barely noticeable. Very small deviation for an otherwise perfect recreation.
    Note the air conditioning. Looks like what genuine aftermarket real 300SL would have installed because the car is so hot inside. If you watch enough 300 SL driving videos you will…”

    “John Weinberger had one of these in white at Continental Imports in La Grange, IL back in 1970. My dad was considering buying it, but I think at 5’-11” he couldn’t get comfortable in it. He ended up buying the fly yellow De Tomaso Mangusta John had, instead. That’s the car in which he picked me up at Orange County Airport when I was discharged from the Army in 1971. Sure wish he’d kept that car, or either of the two E-Types he owned (one of which he’d bought from Mr. Weinberger).”

    “This photo is of one of my favorite days with this car. My son bought the GTI when he was 14. We spent a year and a half working on the car and this was the day he got his license. We drove the back roads in Litchfield county and ended up at the top of mohawk mountain for a sunset.
    I want to thank all of you for your input, comments and stories. Connecting the prior owners of this amazing car was an unexpected bonus.
    I hope the successor of this car shares the passion for this car…”

    “As the owner of Callaway GTV6 TT #1 for 32 years, and somebody who has researched these cars in detail, I can attest to how special they are. When I purchased #1 I also purchased the original Callaway blueprints and a vast amount of factory documentation as well as a large spare parts inventory. I spent a few years helping my late friend Reeves Callaway create the registry for these cars, as he, in his own words, said “I was just a kid, we didn’t track this program like we should have!” With…”
