“Lime Metallic, White Swivel Buckets, AM/FM, Rallye Wheels, A/C, venerable 350 power, and a rear factory sway bar. What a fun cruiser in fabulous preserved condition.”
“Ladies and gentlemen… my first collector car. Very excited.”

“Nothing beats the simplicity of an old truck. No screens, no tech just three pedals and a steering wheel. GLWTA!”

“And now the end is near. I truly enjoyed this car and would love to see it go to a new owner and a loving home. I have had great memories of building the car and driving the car. I truly know that the next owner will be thrilled while driving the car next.”

D_Reed commented on Fuel-Injected, 400-Powered 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
“One of the things I really like about this is that, at its heart, it’s just so simple. Not like the Italian limited production barchetta cars where everything is unobtainable or very expensive. A T Series MG set up is the personification of of basic spark, fuel, air motoring. Like the upkeep on TD. That should bring it more into the range of folks who lust after the style but have been afraid of the reality of finding mechanical spares. Opportunity rarely knocks as loud as this one, IMHO!”

“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.”

DVmechanics commented on 1968 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300Ti “El Taxi Perdido”
“This car is fast and we raced against it in LCP in my Datsun 510 with many great memories of running in the top 10 together against the big V8 cars. It will go over 130 as I one time switched the Garmin page to history when he wasn’t looking and it said 132 mph…my 510 was good for 121 WFO”

“We have been overwhelmed by the positive reaction and comments on the Black Shadow and our shop. I wish I could say it was all me but it is not. Jack Wilson told me ” you can’t do it all by yourself” . This maybe the best advice he ever gave me because I have two dedicated and talented mechanics that combined have been here 40 plus years. I also have several longtime sub contractors and suppliers that are reliable and understand our commitment to the motorcycles we work on.
Contact us for any…”

ekmcmullen commented on 1974 Citroen GS Birotor
“This looks like a great, honest Porsche 911T Coupe 5-speed. Yes, all U.S.-delivered cars came with MFI, while ROW models had carburetors.
This example appears to be a very untouched, original car with all the right period-correct parts, and a rare specification, leather interior, and factory A/C. It has a really nice patina, and a 1972 T in this kind of condition is becoming increasingly rare. These make fantastic driver’s cars.
When the time comes to rebuild the engine, it’s a great…”

“@bbilly McQueen rode a “stolen” German military camp motorcycle which was a modified Triumph TR6 Trophy in The Great Escape. A period-correct BMW or Zundapp weren’t up to the physical task. McQueen did all of the riding except for the 60-ft jump over the barbed wire. Insurance restrictions limited that scene.”

“Exact car, down to the color, my Uncle had. My parents borrowed it in August, 1959 when we went to get our first Weimaraner from some people in Illinois. My first dog, remember the trip, I was 4. We had a DeSoto 2 door sedan (1952) at that time, unsuitable for transport of a very large pup!
Paint was dull on his wagon I recall. Downright chalky. Within the next year or so he traded it on a brand new Ford Taunus wagon. (Now there’s one you NEVER see.)”

“Kudos to the seller for all of the pics! For those of us who’ve been around BaT for awhile you may remember the BaT feature “Where They Rust”. This car before the resto would have been an excellent submission. I applaud owners who see a car in that shape and decide to dedicate the time and money to bring a car back to life. You have my respect.
This is a cool build that appears ready to be enjoyed today. It’s really nice but not so precious you’d be afraid to drive it. And the AC is…”

“In the mid 80’s I was driving my 1977 Porsche 930 home from O’Hara airport to Elgin, IL on I90 taking the Barrington Road offramp when I happened to look in my rear view mirror to find it completely filled with a Lambo Countach that appeared not have a driver. Then a thick arm came out the window pointing for me to turn right at Barrington Road. Then the Lambo passed me and turned right with the arm coming out again point left to turn on a country road. Seemed pretty evident what the driver…”
