    “Great 914. Had a set of American Le Mans waiting in my parents garage while waiting for my 914 in gold metallic . Mine was born in JAN 71 so I missed on first year of production. I still very much enjoy this car today and the stock wheels and hubcaps are still in the American Racing boxes 55 years later. The 1.7 had more HP & torque than the 1.8 and makes for a great driver.”

    “I have owned five Mexicos and 13 Ghibli’s over the last 25 years and theses are such great cars . Mexicos are very similar to the Ghibli as they share many mechanical components and the same parts book. Dry sump for the Ghibli and wet for the Mexico. both cars on BAT currently are very nice examples. I used to own a Maserati Restoration company in Santa Barbara CA and had many Maserati Gt from the 50s thru the early 70s come thru my care. My fav was a 1969 4.7 Mexico with power steering Oxford…”

    “That’s the car that started it all for me. I went to high school with Bob Akin’s son, who I believe is a member here at BaT. I remember fondly of him driving a new 944 onto the Quad and seeing it for the first time. As a kid, that was so exciting.”

    “I remember filling out a postcard to get a promotional dvd for this car when i was 14. The dvd was about 5 minutes of this car doing straight line accelerations and burnouts. I watched it a ton of times. I thought it was badass then and I still do now.”

    “My old GTX! What a joy to see it again, and looking so darn sharp.
    Thank you for the shout Randy @BaT – I would’ve missed the listing otherwise. Time travel is fun, eh?
    I bought this car in Las Vegas in 2012 after years of hunting for a good one. Even back then, they were quite rare. On the drive home to San Francisco, I took a dirt detour through Titus Canyon in Death Valley, and you can see pics from that in the original auction gallery. One of my favorite car memories of all…”

    “If you told me I would pull-up BaT today and there would be a 6-wheeled EcoSport for sale, I would have sent you to rehab. I’m speechless.”

    “A very special car here. This is one of the original World’s Fair batch of 60 Mustang GTs Ford built for the 1965 New York World’s Fair, the cars that introduced the GT package to the press and the first ones that rolled off the line. On April 15, 1965, all 60 were lined up together. Henry Ford II, Lee Iacocca, and Don Frey rolled past the row. The cars then went to journalists for a 10-day press evaluation. After that they were returned to Ford and sold as demos. About 20 of the original…”

    “Starting in 2023 these cars are turbocharged only it runs the 3gen erad rear diff that is constantly engaged compared to the clutch style of the previous model which could disconnect when not needed. The fun part is that if you are driving electric only you are rwd with instant torque.
    I trekked down from Seattle to Cali for. ‘24 with 4k miles on it. It’s my daily commuter and plugging it in at home I have only topped off the gas tank once in 2 months.
    Anyone that is considering these…”

    “I was at summer camp so I was around 10 years of age when my camp best friend said his father was coming to visit for the afternoon. Something I always missed as my father lived in Italy and camp was in the United States. well his father did indeed show up and riding a Vincent Black Shadow! I was by heritage a motor head already. What in the world was this motorcycle, it was not a “you meet the nicest people on a Honda” which were taking America by storm at the time. When my friend introduced…”

    “Thanks all. She’ll be coming home to Orange County and I’m looking forward to a drive down the coast and a few open stretches that we’ll both enjoy.”

    “When they were introduced could not sell what had been planned for U.S. mkt and some returned to Europe. Those sold here went down in value for awhile and then…. Mine was not taken by first purchaser when it arrived at dealer. I had originally turned the allocation but took it. Early comments from an owner captures it. Fantastic sound, torque, manual, no turbo, compliant suspension, smiles everytime”

    “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!”

    “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…”

    “A great car with a great story! I’m often surprised how wing cars are optioned. For example, the C-21 Center front-seat cushion and folding armrest with column automatic, seen here. Deluxe wheel covers? I guess I assume it’s a class of car that would naturally be more loaded up.
    Of course their existence as the manufacturers were pushing the limits of NASCAR homologation rules ensures they are inherently fascinating. Producing them had nothing to do with marketing them for profit.…”

    “Beautiful Square body! I have had 4 over the last 4 decades and have an 85 GMC Sierra Classic 3500 that is a Fall Guy replica. These trucks are imo the best trucks ever made. Someone will be getting a beautiful example and it being the first year of production is even a nicer feature. GLWTA👌👌👌”

    “@64_S1 Not only can you drive this back home to the Midwest, you SHOULD! As one who has driven my S2 Elan coast to coast and border to border, I highly recommend it, with a couple of caveats. First, as you noted, install the side windows. Even with the top down it will keep the wind from beating you up. Then, when you put the top up, only if needed for major rain of course, you will stay relatively dry.
    Second, do not use interstate highways unless there is no reasonable alternative. As the…”
