Here’s yesterday’s comments of note

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

“This was my Dad’s car. I learned to drive a stick in this car and took my drivers test for my license. He and I worked on it together and we would race through the mountains. When he was over seas, my mom and I had to drive it weekly to keep it running. both of my parents are in heaven. My mom is looking down at me, saying what in the hell are you thinking? My dad is looking down at me and saying hell yeah!”

“It’s bittersweet to see this car listed here with @craterface. I was the co-driver for the Modena Centro Ore event in this car and it was just a champion. In addition to buying a tested and regularly driven car, you are buying a top-tier seller. I’ve had the pleasure of over a decade of friendship with the seller and his is a dedicated, knowledgeable, and passionate steward of his cars. He is especially fond of Alfas and I suspect there is another Alfa coming to replace this one. Bid with…”

“Leading off the BaT Best Flybys of the Week is #XS003. The Kenny Brown suspension and chassis mods really hook this car up. Trust me when I tell you that this Outlaw is capable of so much more.

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

“These were never intended to remain stock, much like the ’66 427 Fairlanes coming without a Trac-Lok rear diff. These were intended to have headers and a bigger Holley mounted by the owner to let the big fella breathe, and once you do that, there’s no comparison between a BOSS ‘9 and any Cobra Jet 428 or 429, even with the same mods done to them.”

2caddiesandaMach1 commented on 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429

“I owned one of these (85, Black with a manual) back when they were relatively new and I absolutely loved the car.
The car was so much fun to drive and was totally at home on the highway.
Being a young guy living in Seattle during the 80’s and really into the music scene (which was on fire back then) friends and I frequently traveled up and down I-5 checking out the music in different cities and we always took the Merk.
I remember one time leaving Seattle late at night heading towards…”

LakeJohnCanoe commented on No Reserve: 1971 Datsun 240Z Series I 4-Speed

“I have had many 105 series cars: GTV’s, Scalino’s, Giulia’s, a Spider and many Berlina’s. Years ago the Berlina’s, due to low value, served as donors for the 2L engine and limited slip diff. The styling is not a dramatic as the other 105 series cars, however driving them they hold as the best of the range! I love the 2L dash and driving at night…as the lighting in the dash is activated by a separate button…which makes the beautiful white dails light up! It’s a spacious comfortable fast…”

“Love this example. I also have a Piedmont Green Metallic E400 Wagon (more photos on my IG @ptsrs) and can confirm it is a wonderful family car. It also gets surprisingly a lot of compliments, especially from young dads haha. As the other Piedmont owner said, the color is incredibly dynamic. The M276 V6 is buttery smooth and has a good reputation for reliability.
I searched for my wagon for several months, and pored over all of @1600veloce’s past listings of these wonderful wagons before…”

PTSRS commented on 2017 Mercedes-Benz E400 4MATIC Wagon

“My parents bought a blue 1964 Wagon like this and we made two big trips from MN, one to Southern California, including Disneyland, and the other to Alaska. The Alaska trip was memorable for my two brothers and I. We had 11 flat tires, the gravel was almost as big as the mosquitoes, big trucks flew by us as we rolled up the windows and ducked, of course the windshield needed replacement and within a year all of the paint had peeled off the hood. But other than that, no breakdowns and 60 year…”

Unimog2010 commented on 302-Powered 1967 Ford Mustang Coupe Holman-Moody FIA-Spec Race Car

“Tip of the hat to the full undercarriage detail, complete tool kit, original warning stickers on dip stick & suspension components and gas filler recess weld seam photos. This thing is crisp!”

KrautHammer commented on 31k-Mile 2001 BMW M5

“I just got back from a wonderful trip to Italy.
My faith in humanity was restored, never in my life had I seen so many cool wagons and hot hatches ripping up and down the Autostrade and country roads. Even really neat turbo diesel variants.
The Europeans get it.
Us Americans don’t…still not sure why every household Stateside needs a full size pick-up truck or massive SUV the size of my first college apartment.
I love this auction collection!
The Toyota Crowns are so fantastic, do not…”

NBoost commented on No Reserve: 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe

“I owned an ‘85 nearly identical to this. I drove it the way Carroll Shelby intended. I quickly installed the Mopar Performance logic module and after getting the timing dialed in and an AutoMeter boost gauge installed, I was even more ready to “Go Like Hell.” So, one Friday evening in the spring, I was laying down rubber in first and second gear at each stop.
It must have took a while for the officer to catch up from following the squealing Euro T/A’s, as I don’t believe he ever saw…”

CarDogThreePedals commented on 46k-Mile 1985 Dodge Omni GLH-T

“Automatics are great – First, generally driven less spiritedly over their lifetime. Second, the automatic is actually very good. My auto on back roads, 2nd gear could go from about 25 mph to 70 mph. Often with a group of other 02s, I would be pushing the car in front of me that was modified. Third, the auto works while you find that 5 speed that is wider than a 4 speed and what else is wider? The tunnel in an automatic. No hammer needed for installation.
My next 02, I will look for an…”

hymanltd commented on 8-Mile, One-Owner 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition

“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…”

“As the former owner of XS004 and a serial collector of special Fox Body Mustangs, you can’t find many more special than a KB car. If I had the room I’d be going after this under full boost! GLWTA!”
