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

    “My Dad was one of the first SAAB dealers in the US, so I grew up with the cornpoppers. We were located near the entry port and headquarters . I remember visiting the New Haven HQ and riding a freight elevator to Ralph Millet’s office. We had one tech whose job was engine replacement, and he was kept busy. They are fun cars to drive, the odds of seeing another one on the road rare. This is a beauty, good luck with the sale.”

    “I bought mine new in 04 (same color and spec) and with a wife and 4 kids, drove it 210,000 trouble free miles in 15 years making it the best and most dependable vehicle I’ve ever owned. If this truck was properly maintained, 100k miles is nothing and should provide the next family years of reliable service. I don’t know the seller at all but love his responsiveness and transparency in this auction. GLWTA.”

    “I quite like this version of the 2002, I still remember in 1970 when my father picked up his brand new 2002 Ti here in Vancouver. My father’s car came in Colorado orange, it had a limited slip differential and sunroof but only a 4 speed transmission. The next year, I used the Ti for all my driving lessons and tests when I pursued my driver’s licence, even the driving instructors were impressed with the car.”

    “What a neat rig with an incredible pedigree! And you won’t need to bring a trailer because it’s too precious. Just drive it home and enjoy it.
    I don’t have a lot to add on top of what others have said about Harold Allen except to say that many years ago I came into a collection of his Stroppe-related photos from Ford Motor Company and I’m forever grateful for those.
    I think this is the only Bronco I know of that was owned by one of Ford’s off road racing stars that has come to market in…”

    “Condolences to your Grandfather-he looked like a happy chap!
    He obviously cherished this BRG beauty!
    Cheers!”

    “The BMW 3.0 CSL is a 1970s icon. It has no equal. It’s the car upon which BMW has built its image and reputation since 1972”

    “Hello BaT universe! I am the owner, craftsman, artist of this X-34 Landspeeder tribute vehicle. Since I couldn’t acquire the real one from that galaxy far, far away, (the import/transport fees would have been “astronomical”) I decided to build one to commemorate the upcoming 50th earthly anniversary of this iconic movie vehicle. I am looking forward to all the comments, questions, and bids.”

    StoneRoller_ReadLuke24 commented on No Reserve: X-34 Landspeeder-Style Golf Cart

    “When I scroll BaT, I’ve always held out hope I’d come across two cars: my dad’s ‘66 E Type, and this car. I sold this car to the current seller. Bought when I was 14, restored it, drove it through high school and into young married life. Sold it when I was broke with a growing family to support. Broke my heart to sell it, but clearly I sold to the right individual. Car looks absolutely amazing. I’ll start the bidding with the last sale price…”

    Mgh20180 commented on No Reserve: Backdated 1971 MG MGB Roadster

    “Harold is a Stroppe and Ford icon still with us today, he admits he is older and as for all of us, his memory is fading.
    Rod unfortunately is no longer with us but there is a lot more info on his legendary existence.
    with that being said, i invite anyone who knew or knew of Harold Allen and or his talents to share any stats and stories with us and the same with Rod?
    i am sure @BajaBronco / Andrew and @Todd_Z. and @House along with a handful of others will have some important history and…”

    “I’m a Datsun fan (B210 and my BaT 510) and have never seen one of these ever except in my trusty 1977 Datsun model line sales brochure. The rarity of this F-10 WAGON is indescribable.”

    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:

    “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.…”

    “My dad is a 90 year old retired firefighter. I’m wondering what he would say if I showed up in his driveway with this for his upcoming birthday. He’d probably figure out a way to water his tomato plants with it… 🤔😂”

    “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,…”
