“When folks look at my Ford GT, I tell ’em, the most amazing thing about this car is that little blue oval on the front………. It’s a Ford!!!”
“I love these so very much, and that winter scene photo reminded me of a similar photo of a friend’s rally race car fairly well burried in the snow after sliding a little too wide in a corner.”

“The seller has done a good job giving a brief history of Cisitalia. I have studied these cars for over 40 years and have four of them (Two 202 coupes and two D46s) and had a 202 Cabriolet so perhaps I can provide some clarification. Approximately 110 coupes were made and about 60 cabriolets. Pinin Farina (later changed to Pininfarina) made the first batch of coupes in 1947-48, but then ramped up on working for Ferrari, etc. so most of the remaining coupes were done by Stabilimente Farina and…”

“I am the farmer who owned this car for years and everything the seller says is true. It was never in any kind of wreck while I owned it. I drove it for about 100000 miles. It had about 22000 miles on it when I purchased it. I drove it like a 930 should be and never had any problems with it, other than I decided to have the engine rebuilt as stated. If you’ve never driven an older Porche over a hundred mph be sure to have both hands on the wheel and pay attention!! The buyer sent a person…”

“Wish Ford still made trucks like this one. No cam phasers no direct injection no automatic fuel management system. Just a plain nothing fancy naturally aspirated engine. I sure I am not alone with my thoughts but GLWTA.”

“In the world of VW owners who loved their sporty cars in the 1980s there will always be Golf/GTI owners and Scirocco owners. I was very proudly the latter.
I am a 3x Scirocco loyalist and owned a 1977, a 1982, and lastly a 1988 16v. To me the Scirocco stood apart from the rest of the VW lineup and the styling was a huge draw to it. I made so many lifelong memories in those cars, most notably my 16v as I had it in college and even met my wife-to-be while I owned it.
I’m pretty sure I…”

“These Z71’s were tanks! Had a white 2003 (ironically bought it from original owner in Scarsdale as well!!). It was unfortunately totaled when my wife got into a bad accident with it the day after Xmas 2020. Rolled 3 times, but that roof rack saved her as it remained fairly intact.”

“It has been a genuine privilege to have this extraordinary 113-year-old racing motorcycle on display in my collection. It stands as far more than a rare machine—it is a tangible reminder of the ingenuity, craftsmanship, and determination of the pioneers who built it.
This motorcycle is a testament to what skilled hands, creative minds, and unwavering perseverance could accomplish more than a century ago.
Yet the motorcycle tells only part of the story.
It also pays tribute to the fearless…”

“I’m a Corvette girl. I grew up with a dad who restored them. His first Corvette was a ’57 that he used to race. He decided to make it street legal in the mid ’60’s and had it on the road 3 days when a lady ran a stop sign and busted up the front end. He put a new front end on it, and it’s been sitting in the garage waiting to be restored for the past 50ish years. I’m 50 and it’s always looked a bit like this Elva, though the undercarriage and the body are pristine–just raw because it’s been in…”

“I’ve been fortunate to own some really nice Ducati’s. My 996 SPS was one of my favorite bikes. Tons of linear power, killer exhaust note and just a joy to ride. Beautiful bike presented here @DesmoquattroRestorations”

“My father and I test drove this exact colour combination 300SD when it was brand new in Vancouver British Colombia. He pulled over half way into the test drive and asked if I wanted to drive it. He recently passed away and when I saw this car it took me back to that moment in my life and it made me smile.”

“We’ve been going to Bonneville for over 25 years. First with the Buell team ( I got into the 130 Club on a Buell). In 2008, I set 2 landspeed records, ECTA Maxton and Speedweek. I got my A liscense in 2009. After a break to concentrate on our motorcycle race team (AFT Flat Track) we returned with a Ford F150 Lightening. We are the current record holder in the A/FMP class at 170+ MPH. This year we are Gold Sponsors of the SCTA-BNI Bonneville season. My intention is to return this legendary Audi…”

“I knew this was a California car as soon as I saw the chrome wheels. In the 90s, my uncle, who was a doctor in Newport Beach, bought this exact same spec. As a kid who was used to being toted around in spartan Volvos, I thought it was the fanciest car I had ever sat in.
FWIW early 1UZ-FEs are non-interference engines so timing belt failure (which is rare) is not necessarily catastrophic.”

“Thank you all. We reached a fair deal, and I am super excited to be the 2nd owner of this masterpiece. It will be driven much more than it has been over the past 47 years. Will be sitting next to its cousin, my ’73 CSL. Mario (VSR), get some room ready…!!! Thank you, Brian, for working on this deal with me. It will be in good hands for a while! Best to all. David”

“I thought that someday the “Krispy Kritter” would end up here on BaT! I was born in October of 1966 and have known this car practically my whole life. My dad was a lifelong car guy and friends of the builders/owners Ted Trischler and Frank Dennler and was there the first time they fired up the Kritter! What is ironic that people mention it reminds them of the Batmobile from the rear is that the car was actually built in a cave (Batcave) of the hillside section of Spring Garden that is located…”

“For general information only: The “green things” on most Citroëns of this era all relate to the hydraulic system. Green indicates LHM (mineral oil) fluid vs older red (brake fluid) systems. The SM has 6 green things visible under the hood. From left to right you have; Passanger’s front suspension sphere (acts like a shock absorber and allows different ride heights), In the center – Hydraulic main pump, Main pressure sphere (which controls five levels of ride height, brakes, steering, clutch…”
