    “This Montrealer is visiting LA for the weekend.
    I visited the Peterson Museum yesterday, including the Vault … what a treat for this layman to see so many spectacular “automobiles” in 1 place!
    This Rolls would be perfectly suited there.
    @Dollycat3, cheers back …with a fine cup of British tea for this gem.”

    “I have an extensive amount of hands on detailing and reconditioning experience with the W126 model over the past 25 plus years, and its so nice to see such a well preserved low mileage example. This is such a period cool color combination, and the brown leather is so clean and well preserved !!!
    I would LOVE to personally own a car like this, but I would probably double the mileage within the first year if I did. Such a great driving car, and in my opinion the W126 is way up high at the top…”

    “GM should bring back the S-10! I had a 92′ and put 435,000 miles on it. Same engine as this one. Parts were cheap and they were easy to work on.”

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

    “We currently have a 250 SWB in our care that was built in direct collaboration with the exceptional team at GTO Engineering. Prior to joining Mohr Imports, I had the privilege of running GTO Engineering’s Los Angeles operation for several years and visited both the GTO House and restoration facility on multiple occasions.
    I can’t say enough positive things about the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and passion that goes into these cars. Having had the opportunity to work alongside both…”

    “A Nova Wagon with dog dish wheels and a V8 paired to a 4 speed. It doesn’t get a better than that! GLWTA”

    “Such great trucks, went a decade with minimal styling updates. And the Vortec Chevy 454 is a LEGEND! And if it is really as clean as it appears, someone is going to get an awesome ride. Only thing it is missing from my ideal 3/4 Suburban build sheet would be barn doors in back, but the tailgate is what makes pregaming work too.”

    “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.
    A 1956 Nash Metropolitan. Yellow over white. Chrome trim shining like a smile that’s been to the dentist.
    Lucinda leaned against the café window,…”

    “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.”

    “Ah, the memories! This was my first-ever brand new car, purchased in Petersburg, Virginia when this fresh Army Quartermaster second lieutenant received a small fortune (It seemed so at the time) from the Army in TDY pay and turned it into Kenosha metal. Mine had the 343 not the 390, but was exactly this color, same transmission, and the brown leather which was original to this car, too. The car accompanied me to my first–and only–duty station in West Germany because officers’ car-shipping was…”

    “I had an opportunity to buy a friends 51 Mercury sled, I always wanted from his wife. Gary died in March 2026 from prostate cancer, he was 77, I’m 75. I just don’t have indoor storage for both so the Caddy has to go. I enjoyed it for a year so somebody can have fun with the top down!”

    “This is my car. I have had every generation of 911, air cooled and water cooled, turbo and NA, all of which are in various states of “hot rod”. Even my CGT has some mods. I bought this car to hot rod as well, but it was so mint that I couldn’t do it, it is truly flawless inside and out. However, my OCD got the best of me and I invested whatever was needed to make the car perfect and decided to let it go as an offering to the BAT community. @hoarsche enjoy!”

    “Thanks everyone. That was fun. My first bids and win on BaT. What a cool community.
    I saw this car with Mario at the helm at Portland in ’91. My first indy car race with my dad, who is a huge Mario fan. Sentimental value is off the charts for me.”

    “As a 48 year old blue collar helicopter mechanic with no inheritance coming, I really appreciate a vehicle like this. Even to be able to change the spark plugs would be an honour to someone like me.
    This car is about as perfect a specimen of machinery as you can have. Congratulations to whoever the new owner is, as well as a hearty thank you to the previous and current owner for being such amazing caretakers and stewards of such a treasure.”

    Rotor_Trash commented on 1929 Duesenberg Model SJ Sweep-Panel Dual-Cowl Phaeton by LeBaron

    “Son of the former owner here. While many will associate this car with Martin Swig, this is the car I will always associate most with my dad.
    I won’t try to compare my dad’s looks with those of a Sprint Lightweight, but the two had more in common than you might think. The more time you spent with either, the more you discovered beneath the surface. Behind that easygoing exterior was a playful, competitive spirit, very much tuned for speed and performance.
    Dad bought the car around the time…”

    “The Superleggera V4 was capped at 500 units worldwide for 2020 and remains the first street-legal motorcycle with a carbon fiber frame, subframe, swingarm and wheels as standard — Ducati had to get specific homologation approval for the structural carbon!!!!! What a Bike!!!!”

    “So they built 50 of these, and now three have been offered on BaT. That says a lot about the stature that @BaT has achieved in the collector car world.”
