“I would argue the GMT800 is one of the best platforms GM has ever made. You just can’t kill them.”
“Indeed, E46 M3 is one of the best driver’s cars ever made and perfect for a DD.”

“AMX’s and Javelins are the most underrated Muscle cars. Never understood that. They are so awesome! Too bad AMC always struggled with the big 3. Imagine if there was a AMX made today. GLWTA. Beautiful car! Great color combo and always loved the Rear spoiler option.”

“@PDXBryan this one blows my SOHCs off.
I’ve only once seen a cammer swap as nice as this and it was supposedly done by KK as an experimental along with one they build as a mid-engine Boss 9 (both fastback Mustangs).
What’s so clever about this is you’d never expect it. The level of street sleeper, slack jaw, dumbdoundery here is off the charts. Roll up in this anywhere and get affirming nods, then open the hood and prepare for the cult of engine worship to begin their drooling genuflections.…”

“340 vs 383 the 340 wins. Not only in a straight line but especially on a winding road. The small block with the well designed chassis corners like a sports car. To be fair, these days the restrictive 383 exhaust can be relieved with contemporary under-chassis headers and the big block can be as light as a small block with aluminum heads, intake and water pump housing. Throw in a stroker crank for 500ci and it will get interesting.
But for stock vintage examples I think it’s no contest. If…”

“It wasn’t every day something this cute rolled into Fort Stockton. Folks were used to pickup trucks big enough to block out the sun, not pastel-colored cars that looked like they’d been dipped in lemon pudding and whipped cream. But there it was—parked right out front of Grounds for Divorce, turning heads like a visiting movie star.

“I remember that turbo kit from HO Racing Specialties out of California. I bought my 78 TA new (still have it) and once the 1 year warranty was up, i installed the HO performance kit with new jets and metering rods for the Q-Jet.”

“Thanks @sludgo @Dazed_and_Amused @PDXBryan and @AJL1988 for your kind comments. I had a great time with Alex doing this podcast. Get me started talking about cars and I’ll go on for a while…just ask my wife and daughters!!
Thanks to @BaT for hosting our conversation and sharing it with the community.”

“This car was my dads for about 40 years. When he died my brother brought it to California where he did a massive overhaul. Forgetting the money, this Jaq has memories that fulfill a lifetime! I drove it twice, once on the stage of a charity fashion show and another when at a polo match in town Albert , my dad, had to quickly leave to get a friend to the hospital. He drove in the 4th of July parade for years; might have over heated a time or two. He tried to teach my 15 year old son to…”

“Great to see this notable car was recovered from the theft unbruised. As the owner of a Hotchkis equipped 72 challenger with a 408 stroker, Whose done 2 Hot Rod Power Tours in it, i can say these are great performers on hiway or in the twisties. Recommend trading out to Recaros for us full bodied guys!”

“So many great options this week!
That said and cars aside, the one that got me was for the story, not so much the car. That’s a tall statement considering my self avowed love of Packards, which is well know here. And this one is a real corker! Oh, and the Delahaye is stunning too.
I chose the 1917 Packard owned by a young man so sadly lost in “The War to End All Wars.” The family was so devastated they couldn’t part with it, yet they couldn’t bear to see it either. In storage for forty…”

“Alfredo’s Foreign Cars in Larchmont, NY never closed. I bought many Alfas from that dealership from the 1960’s on, the most recent my ’23 Stelvio. During the period when Alfa temporarily stopped selling in cars in the USA, Alfredo’s was the one of the few dealers that maintained its official Alfa Romeo dealer parts and service.”

“I owned two 1976 Trans Ams back in the ’80s and ’90s: a 400 4spd and a 455 4spd. They are really special cars. I often notice TA owners leave the shaker hood scoops sealed, and I wonder why. It takes a few minutes to remove the plate and the intake noise completely changes the driving experience and adds some power. My friends would ask me to get on it just so they could hear the roar from the shaker scoop which sounded like it would suck in animals and small children if they were too close.…”

“The previous owner was a good friend of mine that has now gone to the garage in the sky. Seeing this brings up some great memories and I like to think he’s watching the auction from above. This was his final sale before he passed, he was pretty much in his last days during the auction. I was so pleased the auction went so well for him at the time. One final time at BAT and he hit it out of the park! Love ya an miss ya Joe!
And to the next owner of this amazing rig…congrats in advance,…”

“10 original cheetahs completed by Bill Thomas. 7 comp, 3 street. There is one untouched totally unrestored survivor from that original production run, and it is in my collection. The King Cheetah street car here has a very unique history and is obviously extremely well preserved as well. Good luck!”

“When I first got the car, I was always under the hood or underneath the car, learning as I went, and it became the car my girlfriend — now my wife — and I took everywhere. A lot of great memories were made.
Life moved on, and the car ended up parked for close to four decades. Recently we decided to bring it back to life, get it running again, and return it to a period correct state. It’s been rewarding to hear it fire up and drive it again after all those years.
That said, my…”

“This was the first car I ever bought new from a dealer when I was 20. I was driving a beat up old Ford F150 with bad linkage that I had bought for $150. The dealer offered a $5k of discount for anything you could push pull or drag in, so the Ford made his last journey.
My father had a terminal diagnosis at the time and provided the remaining $10k needed to make sure his little girl would have a new car after he was gone.
This car got me through those early years of having lost both…”
