    “Chris here, the founder of S30.world
    I’ve truly enjoyed the auction so far and am humbled by the response from everyone.
    I have invested an extraordinary amount of time and resources into the S30 platform and for those who truly understand these cars, the reason is obvious.
    When I finally decided to take the 240Z back to the level of when it first left the factory, it became a personal statement and an expression of pure passion for the car. I wanted to create a tribute to the S30…”

    “I am both really happy and sad at the same time to see this car listed by Fred on BaT. I was the one that originally built it as part of a project series on our old website (VWVortex.com) and it looks like Fred has really done a nice job in preserving and maintaining my old car. Bid with confidence.. and I will look forward to seeing the questions and the auction progress.”

    “I’ve always has a soft spot for first-year designs. Back in the day, car designers were able to accomplish things with their new creations that actually made it into first year production. These unique attributes were often removed or replaced by the bean counters in subsequent model years. The 67 TBird is a good example: compare the front bumper on this car to a 68 or later and you’ll find a beautifully designed full-chrome piece that is replaced by painted metal on other models. The…”

    “@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…”

    “The fact that this will now live with a W108 and S123 makes me so happy….as it currently sits next to my ivory 84 S123….
    Congrats and I will be in touch. I have a few more builds coming up but will be closing for most of summer to enjoy time with my family! Life is short…go live it.
    Thanks for all of the discussion and phone calls this week!”

    “One of the best moments in this car was when we were pulling into the paddock in Monterey and there was a decent crowd waving a Ferrari 250 SWB to get out of the way so they could get a full photo of this magnificent car.”

    “This example is all steel. The Fulvia coupe 1.2 were all steel up to VIN 018988 and all aluminium panels to the last one VIN 021436 So 2448 coupe 1.2 with aluminium panels.
    This one looks very original througout. For now I can only see that the tyres are not the original height 185/70R14 The original size is 145/80R14.”

    “As a sidebar to this 250,000th auction listing, yesterday at the Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance, BaT Co-Founder Randy Nonnenberg, spoke at length for the entrants and attendees about the phenomenon that brought about what we are experiencing here — how it began and how it evolved. It’s a fascinating story of insight, risk and reward that’s about as “American” as anything can be.
    On the field were a number of “BaT Auction” sales as well as sellers, commenters and attendees who read the…”

    “Pontiac sure had some pretty cars in the Sixties. They’ve aged well too. Great to see two Pontiac B Bodies with three pedals on BaT in the same week… how unusual is that?
    This car would have a circle of admirers at every Cars and Coffee you drove it to… elegant and much less common than the A Body cars of the era. Truly the “executives’ hot rod” especially with a four-speed.
    Wonderful 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…”

    “This is the real deal; with a fabulous history. This Ace-Bristol would be an amazing vehicle to take to vintage sports car races, rallies, and/or classic sports car shows. It will attract attention and be a lot of fun.
    I am familiar with this seller; you can trust you are getting something very special.

    “I would have thought Tail of the Dragon at the start of the driving video. But I think I need to get myself out to the west coast for some of your roads. So nice to see cars being used as intended – heck of a build with proof in the performance. Very-very nice, sir.”

    “Somewhat related, gearhead Nick Mason (Pink Floyd) took part in a documentary “La Carrera Panamericana” in the early 1990s, which is just awesome. Wonderful cinematography of the actual race, with Pink Floyd as the soundtrack.
    I stumbled upon the VHS in a bargain bin in the mid-’90s, but it’s all over YouTube now.

    Skip the phone or the iPad when viewing. This gem needs to be seen on your big screen TV, with the audio CRANKED! ;-)”
