    “That fuse panel is as good as it gets for 48 years old, no wiring hacks, clean relay blocks, no signs of burnt fuse terminals. And all the fuse positions have the correct fuse in them, and fuse 13 is supposed to be empty. Gotta love the hand-painted stripes on many of the wires, these early cars are full of little easter eggs like that.
    Definitely worth the hassle of getting the pics to instill bidder confidence!”

    “Combating the maintenance scaries with an impressive log of care.
    From VW’s golden era. This being on the lot next to the MKIV .:R32 and V10 TDI Touareg is as good as it’ll get.”

    “Hello BaT! I’m the builder and seller of this E30, and I’ll be here throughout the auction to answer any questions and provide additional photos or videos if requested.
    This project began as an effort to build an electric E30 that felt like a proper driver’s car rather than simply an EV conversion. Nearly every component was selected with that goal in mind—from the Tesla Plaid drive unit and custom battery system to the suspension, brakes, and chassis upgrades.
    After the build was…”

    “By the time this particular Fulvia was built, Fiat had owned Lancia long enough to have begun incorporating some profit-motivated changes. I spent a lot of time at the Lancia display at the Turin Auto Show in 1972, and following that wrote an article for the LANCIANA, the American Lancia Club newsletter. Some things I noted were “…the paint and overall finish is better than ever. Suspension bits are stampings now, rather than the nice hardware that we’re used to.. Plastic clips replace the…”

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

    “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.”

    “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…”

    “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…”

    “Thank you all for your interest in my dad’s GTV.
    That car holds a lifetime of memories for me. I still remember riding home in the passenger seat at age six as my dad brought it back from Larchmont, NY — and him telling me to stop playing with all the buttons and knobs. Years later, I turned over the odometer somewhere on 395 South in Connecticut, driving it to impress the woman who would become my wife. And most recently, during the COVID years, Dad and I brought it to Giovanni and Kathy…”

    “When I was a kid my Dad heard on the radio a promotion by Pitcairn Honda in Langhorn PA. It said, “come test drive the new Honda and register to win an ounce of Gold.” They must have changed their mind or it was a mistake, as the ad only ran once to my knowledge. So my Dad and I headed up to the dealer which was only 15 min away. I don’t think I actually got to ride in the car because it was to small. Then my Dad said he wanted to register for the gold. It was closing time and everyone in…”

    “When it’s cold, I like to go down in the basement, and sit in the Factory 5 Roadster, that my Dad and I built. He’s been gone 6 years now, and I still think about him, every single day.
    Listening to the driving video, I can close my eyes, and see Dad, driving his car, that we built, smiling from ear to ear.
    Thanks for listing this gorgeous car, @Stables_Group . It is gorgeous and sounds incredibly good.”

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

    “Of course, the whole 250,000 Auctions Milestone was all anybody could talk about at the Grounds for Divorce. Lucinda started promoting it the minute the listing went live, offering a Two-Fer on Texas pecan pie and free Folgers to anyone who showed up wearing a Bring a Trailer T-shirt.
    Hank over at the Lucky Lady Lounge had a similar promotion going, but the T-shirt had to be wet and there were considerably fewer takers. Ultimately, Earl from Earl’s Salvage Yard and Formalwear took home the…”

    “OK, I’ve been meaning to write this story for awhile now, and so now is the appropriate time to share that story.
    I remember in the early 2000s when all the trade rags showed the new Mustang. they were beautiful. I would periodically go and test drive them. I remember once driving a GT with a 3.73 rear end and a 5-speed manual and that thing had some git up and go!
    Where I live, they have a car show every MLK weekend. They had one of these Bullitts on display and I wanted one.…”

    “As the owner of a 73 1600 Touring, these are fun and useful with the rear seats folded down lots of cargo space they are a few inches shorter than sedans and have a more aerodynamic windshield angle. At a 02 meet up they are rare.

    “The RoundPort exhaust manifolds were the cracker jacks , not the blocks.
    Straight water freezing in them is the #1 block cracker.
    Most times in the lifter valley.
    71 YG code 455 , 2bbl Automatic application. 2bolt mains.
    Correct application #197 455 HO heads

    “@ix_xi
    As a TCR car homologated by the FIA for championships around the world, “it’s mandatory to use Racing Certified TCR fuel with at least 98RON Unleaded.”
    So safe to say you will be fine if you use 98 octane unleaded fuel which is generally available at the track or from any respected vendor.”
