“My first car was a black 1987 325es. I loved that car and always told myself I would own another E30. This one is perfect.”

“Every time I see one of these I can’t help but think so fondly of Ed “Lancia” Levin and his remarkable knowledge surrounding these cars.
These really are spectacular cars in every respect. Once you drive one, you never forget it. @seller needs no introduction here so bid with confidence. These have been woefully undervalued compared with similar era cars, but I believe all that is about to change as more people wake up to US landed examples like this, and the amazing amount of fun one can…”

“I campaiged a Landspeed Corvair for many years and Tom Keo is one of my heros. He isn’t just a Corvair Genius but also a scholar and a gentleman. Bid With Confidance!!”

“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!”

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…”

CaptainMyCaptain commented on Lot #250,000: 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO

“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.

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

“Beautiful example, as usual from David! Love love love love the original paint and stripes, even with blemishes here and there that attest to its lifetime of soulfulness. The R50 is such a smooooooth sweet little bike, everyone needs one! Good luck to all interested bidders, these original paint beauties don’t come around often.”

Ant5842 commented on 1967 BMW R50/2

“I know this car better than most, having owned it for seven years between 2016 – 2023 and being mostly responsible for the condition that it is presented in today. 
I have owned three DC2’s in total, they are wonderful drivers cars, for the enthusiast. 
This one however  is truly unrepeatable, it genuinely is a special car. 
when I bought the car it was unmolested, completely factory original with complete history, all keys and literature present even down to the original dealer plates…”

Jackinabox commented on 12k-Mile 1999 Honda Integra Type R

“Way back in the day, in 1963 when I was just 14 years old, there was one of these for sale at the local Skelly station. The place was a favorite hangout for many of us early teens, and the car was parked on the side of the station. It was a dark blue, light blue, and white combination as I recall, and I thought it was the coolest thing on wheels. So, I managed to drag Dad over to take a look.
I thought he might also find it cool, as he was a car guy, and I thought maybe I could get him to…”

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

“The 330 GTC has always been a favorite of mine. And the 512BB. When I was first working out of college in the early ’80’s my wife and I honeymooned in San Francisco and I dragged her to Ferrari Los Gatos, and there on the floor were my two dream cars, a 330 GTC sitting next to a 512BB. I remember them being in the $25 – $35K range? And thinking, I’ll be able to afford one of those. Unfortunately life intervened and prices for these cars increased but I was finally able to realize a dream…”

“I own a manual 6 speed ’07 NC. These are just fabulous vehicles. Nothing goes wrong. Certainly one of the finest engines Mazda ever built. Gobs of fun driving top-down and a true value fot the $ spent. New owner will be happy. GLWTA”

“Thanks to all bidders. I fell in love with the 904 when I first saw one in the 1980’s. I think it the most beautiful care design ever. Thats why I had to have the Beck 904. I started discussing the car with Chuck Beck in early 2020, and pulled the trigger in October of 2020. It was a 3 year build process, and I visited the factory many times during the build. My wife was involved too, and picked out the interior colors. I think it turned out nicely. Thanks for all the positive comments.”

Armbrust commented on Beck 904 GTS

“The 505 wagon, IMHO, is one of the great longroofs. They endure rugged conditions in Africa without complaint. The 4 cylinder engine is about as indestructible as they get. Cargo capacity is unmatched. Yet the ride is so so comfy. Best seats anywhere. The video shows it off well.”

“Another one that I helped build at Torslanda in Goteborg. Some had a note under the dash: built in Sweden by a yankee. I was the only American out of supposedly 46 nationalities working there”

Vonder commented on 1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria Station Wagon “Family Truckster” Re-Creation

“Hi everyone, and welcome to the auction!
I’m excited to share my Wagon Queen Family Truckster re-creation with the Bring a Trailer community. This project represents hundreds of hours of work to capture all the quirky details of the Griswold family’s iconic road trip car from National Lampoon’s Vacation.
It was always a dream of mine to own a big American station wagon, and the Truckster felt like the ultimate expression of that dream. After the build was completed, we took the…”

“I owned one exactly like this, even the same color. For anyone on the fence, trying to decide if it’s right for you, let me offer my perspective. This is an excellent machine with so many things going for it. These are comfortable, versatile, very capable, very reliable, easy to ride, and easy to maintain. They are NOT sporty, quick, agile, exhilarating, or sexy. They are more like a tractor than a sports car. But that would be a German tractor, which means excellent engineering. (Think…”

“My first job out of high school, I worked at a Porsche dealer.
We kept a fleet of 6-8 Yugos as service loaners. We also had a fleet of Mazda 323’s. But when those were all spoken for – the customer ended up with a Yugo.
That is, unless the customer complained really loud – then I got sent to the used car lot down the road to grab an Audi or something similar for them to drive.
I could tell a lot about a person when they complained about the Yugo. On one hand, I understood they paid a lot…”
