Here’s yesterday’s comments of note

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

“Merci beaucoup. The car will indeed be driven across Paris, France’s fantastic b-roads and through mountain passes in Europe, both as a cool family car and also for vintage car rallies & events that I love to go to or organise.”

“When I first saw this auction I wanted to Jump! I expected there to be an Eruption of bids due to provenance. Driving at 10/10th would be like Runin’ With the Devil for sure. This car is the stuff Dreams are made of. If I won, I would definitely Dance The Night Away. OK I am done…”

“I grew up in a family of chevy owners, just chevy’s, and I had my big block in high school. Then the new girl friend asks me over to meet her family and what does the Dad have, an Opel Manta in orange. He takes me out to inspect it and at some point hands me the key and says, have fun. Well, I did and from that point forward my world changed. Tried to talk my dad into letting me buy an MGB, that didn’t work until I bought my own in college and started auto X’ing with it. Then road racing…”

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

“Chris here, the founder of S30.world
I’ve truly enjoyed the auction so far and am humbled by the response from everyone.
I have invested an extraordinary amount of time and resources into the S30 platform and for those who truly understand these cars, the reason is obvious.
When I finally decided to take the 240Z back to the level of when it first left the factory, it became a personal statement and an expression of pure passion for the car. I wanted to create a tribute to the S30…”

“I am both really happy and sad at the same time to see this car listed by Fred on BaT. I was the one that originally built it as part of a project series on our old website (VWVortex.com) and it looks like Fred has really done a nice job in preserving and maintaining my old car. Bid with confidence.. and I will look forward to seeing the questions and the auction progress.”

“I’ve always has a soft spot for first-year designs. Back in the day, car designers were able to accomplish things with their new creations that actually made it into first year production. These unique attributes were often removed or replaced by the bean counters in subsequent model years. The 67 TBird is a good example: compare the front bumper on this car to a 68 or later and you’ll find a beautifully designed full-chrome piece that is replaced by painted metal on other models. The…”

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

“I’ve been racing a 1966 Lola T70 Spyder now for five years. And can promise you that the experience is incredible. I certainly hope that the new owner will come racing. And I get a chance to be on the track with this car, and with you the new owner.
Talk about being welcome to just about any grid. This is your ticket.
I also purchased the Lola T163 here on BAT recently. The purchase price was $350,000. And the experience of purchasing the car. And after the purchase. Was very nice with…”

“This truck is why the Toyota pickups are on my watchlist.”

“If you are looking for something that will outlast the four-cylinder turbo that is now in the Land Cruiser, this is what you need. These things will go another 400,000 miles, no problem. At first glance, it looks like a garage queen but it’s just getting broken in!”

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

“The missile appeared at Earl’s Salvage Yard & Formalwear on a Tuesday morning.
At least that was what Hairless B29 called it when he walked into the Grounds for Divorce and announced that Earl had acquired a rocket.
Angus Hopper continued buttering his toast.
“How big?”
“Three feet, maybe.”
Angus looked up. “That ain’t much of a rocket.”
“It’s streamlined.”
This was apparently sufficient evidence to bring Rex Hall into the investigation. By nine…”

“Cannot beat classic guards red on a Gbody. Timeless.”

“The Story Here…
As an automotive magazine publisher, editor and motor journalist in the ’80s and ’90s, I was privileged to attend many unique and amazing press functions and receive highly-specialized literature regarding the cars being launched. From the Highlands of Scotland to the South of France. From the US Continental Divide to the jungles and rain forests of Guatemala and Belize. From small back mews of the English Midlands to palatial manor houses in London. What a time it…”

“Well, buying a Porsche wasn’t exactly on my bingo card for today, but this is the kind of stupid excitement I’m here for.”

ElSecundo commented on No Reserve: 1977 Porsche 924 Championship Edition 4-Speed

“A high school friend had one of these. It was light on its feet and plenty quick. Ahead of its time with an overhead cam engine, and so rare today. Jay Leno’s build of his Firebird Sprint adds some value to this one, in my opinion.”

“This is really lovely to watch – — three bidders who have not been successful yet on BaT – – this is a really great car to start with!!”

“My first car was a 1963 Rambler that my uncle sold to me for $50. It ran forever — you can’t kill these cars! Although the vacuum powered windshield wipers would not move in cold weather, so in snow storms the passenger had to lean out of the window and manually swish the wipers so the driver could see!”

“Never, until today, has El Camino and Continental kit ever been used in the same sentence, for me anyway.
Now, I will never be able to unsee it.”

“Such a beautiful car. Growing up my dad had one of these in a red/orange color. Have so many great memories driving around with him in it. I hope this goes to a great home”

peche711 commented on 1990 BMW 325i Coupe M-Technic II

“I bought this car intending to enjoy driving it, and I did. I’ve owned this Viper since April 2000 and have kept it longer than any other car I’ve owned. It has spent its life just south of Houston. I’ve enjoyed it enormously over the past 26 years, including four driving schools and 5-6 autocross events. I’m selling it because I’m almost 70 and the Viper has become harder for me to get in and out of and to drive without pain (2 surgeries on the ball of my left foot). I hope its next owner…”
