    “I’ve been looking for a bus like this for Rachael for many years. We are gonna make it stock height and beautiful.”

    Mr.OGPaint commented on No Reserve: 1963 Volkswagen Type 2 11-Window Microbus Project

    “AMX’s and Javelins are the most underrated Muscle cars. Never understood that. They are so awesome! Too bad AMC always struggled with the big 3. Imagine if there was a AMX made today. GLWTA. Beautiful car! Great color combo and always loved the Rear spoiler option.”

    johnnyvett commented on 1969 AMC AMX 390 4-Speed

    “@PDXBryan this one blows my SOHCs off.
    I’ve only once seen a cammer swap as nice as this and it was supposedly done by KK as an experimental along with one they build as a mid-engine Boss 9 (both fastback Mustangs).
    What’s so clever about this is you’d never expect it. The level of street sleeper, slack jaw, dumbdoundery here is off the charts. Roll up in this anywhere and get affirming nods, then open the hood and prepare for the cult of engine worship to begin their drooling genuflections.…”

    Raffi commented on 427 SOHC “Cammer”-Powered 1959 Ford Thunderbird Coupe 3-Speed

    “340 vs 383 the 340 wins. Not only in a straight line but especially on a winding road. The small block with the well designed chassis corners like a sports car. To be fair, these days the restrictive 383 exhaust can be relieved with contemporary under-chassis headers and the big block can be as light as a small block with aluminum heads, intake and water pump housing. Throw in a stroker crank for 500ci and it will get interesting.
    But for stock vintage examples I think it’s no contest. If…”

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

    “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.”

    34

    2002WS6 commented on No Reserve: 31k-Mile 2011 Ford Ranger Sport 4×4

    “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…”

    SteveTheodore commented on 1986 Volkswagen Scirocco 5-Speed

    “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.”

  • Yesterday’s comments of note: A Practical Look

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

    “The original owner of this Maserati was Stan Nowak, more famous as one of the earliest of the Ferrari historians here in the States. He told me decades ago he took delivery in West Nyak but sold it just a few months later to raise money for an early Ferrari that had recently been uncovered.
    He told me to keep an eye out for it and said it would be easy to find by the chassis number “502.”
    He passed away not long thereafter and I never did track it down until about ten years ago when I…”

    Symbolic_International commented on 53-Years-Owned 1969 Maserati Ghibli 4.7 Project

    “Literally the perfect Jeep to ‘bomb’ around in. The detail-overload here is fabulous!
    To paraphrase Forrest Gump, Life is like Bring A Trailer. You never know what you’re gonna find.
    WOW.”

    CarDogThreePedals commented on Aircraft-Themed Willys-Style “Warbird Jeep” Custom

    “I am beyond excited. My dad owned a 1974 TR6 in this same color when I was a kid. I learned to drive on it. It is going to a good home.”

  • sludgo’s Mile Markers: Mile 211 — Explained

    Ten years quickly passed for everyone, including Shadow. By then we’d moved from our salt-box on the numbered streets to sludgo manor, a lovely hillside home with an expansive yard she could roam at her leisure. As old dachshunds go we thought she was doing fine as she lazily snoozed in the sun or dug around in the garden looking for God-knows-what, but she was definitely slowing. In the meantime I’d started to feel bad she was spending most of her days in that giant house alone, what with the kids at school and the Redhead and me downtown at the office sunup ’til sundown so one night I took the Redhead out for dinner. A nice one. Ordered a spendy bottle of champagne then settled in and after a sip or three popped the question. Asked if she’d be cool with getting another dog. Reminded her how the ‘new puppy trick’ had rejuvenated Moon and said it might do the same for Shad and now that we had a larger place we could get a larger dog. Maybe another Sheltie, in honor of Moon. I was going to keep making my case but she interrupted me with a bubbly giggle and a nod that made me grin big. Puppy Time, sludge.

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

    “I love old cars & history…..and can’t wait to meet the seller to enjoy it together. Who wants a restored one, anyone can have one of those.”

    pdunphey1 commented on No Reserve: 1924 Ford Model T Coupe

    “For reference, the H2R is capable of pushing speeds well over 225, with some claims upwards of 250 mph, while cranking out almost 330 hp. The supercharger has to spin almost 10 times faster than the crank, so at full rev the impeller is spinning approximately 130,000 rpm and pumping over 50 gallons of compressed air into the motor every second. It was designed and developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries’ aerospace division.
    Impressive engineering, don’t you think?”

    J-525 commented on No Reserve: 2-Mile 2025 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Carbon

    “Isn’t this Civic all that any of us really need?
    A return to simpler times would be refreshing.”

    trademark commented on 561-Mile 1974 Honda Civic Hondamatic

    “This model was developed as a competition Enduro machine with the help of John Penton, who rode one to the AMA National Enduro Championship in 1969, it’s first year of production. Malcom Smith also earned a gold medal with one in the ISDT. Unlike the Cross and other HVA models, it did not have a fully floating rear brake. Riders preferred the Cross models for desert racing. For the Baja, Smith ran the 8-Speed in a Cross chassis.
    @T100SC 8-speed cases are easily recognizable, with a…”

  • Here’s yesterday’s comments of note

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

    “Thank you all for your interest in my dad’s GTV.
    That car holds a lifetime of memories for me. I still remember riding home in the passenger seat at age six as my dad brought it back from Larchmont, NY — and him telling me to stop playing with all the buttons and knobs. Years later, I turned over the odometer somewhere on 395 South in Connecticut, driving it to impress the woman who would become my wife. And most recently, during the COVID years, Dad and I brought it to Giovanni and Kathy…”

    haigtell commented on One-Owner 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000

    “When I was a kid my Dad heard on the radio a promotion by Pitcairn Honda in Langhorn PA. It said, “come test drive the new Honda and register to win an ounce of Gold.” They must have changed their mind or it was a mistake, as the ad only ran once to my knowledge. So my Dad and I headed up to the dealer which was only 15 min away. I don’t think I actually got to ride in the car because it was to small. Then my Dad said he wanted to register for the gold. It was closing time and everyone in…”

    Glen commented on 1971 Honda Z600 4-Speed

    “When it’s cold, I like to go down in the basement, and sit in the Factory 5 Roadster, that my Dad and I built. He’s been gone 6 years now, and I still think about him, every single day.
    Listening to the driving video, I can close my eyes, and see Dad, driving his car, that we built, smiling from ear to ear.
    Thanks for listing this gorgeous car, @Stables_Group . It is gorgeous and sounds incredibly good.”

    Welcome to the Weekly Weird and Wonderful—the recurring Friday feature in which we highlight a small collection of the coolest, strangest, and most interesting cars currently on BaT. There is a distinct lack of snow in the photo galleries of our picks today, which we’re going to take as a good sign since we don’t think hole-dwelling rodents are competent meteorologists. Temperatures aside, we have noticed that the days are getting slightly longer, and we encourage you to spend your extra allotment of daylight perusing all of the other treasures on our live auctions page once you’ve gone through the collection of gems below.

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

    “Gleaming Black shows off so well MG’s first “envelope body”. It’s often said that a black car is the hardest to do right and the toughest to keep clean, but when both are done to this level the result is quietly stunning.
    This car looks to be Very Well done in every respect.”

    LouFifer commented on 1957 MG MGA Roadster

    “Very peak Honda.
    This will probably outlast their 2026 offerings.”

    SDCR commented on No Reserve: 14k-Mile 2000 Honda Civic VP

    “Fun looking D1.
    Nice modifications, and it appears that the seller has had a lot of fun while keeping it in fine running shape. Though lots of miles, I bet that the next owner can get years more use if they stay on top of issues as they arise.
    A five speed, a 300Tdi engine, and a first series Disco….what’s not to like?”

    The Heritage 4×4 Collection, from DriverSource — Explained

    It’s no secret—we love trucks here at BaT. That’s why we are happy to present this tidy collection of four 4x4s from DriverSource. Two Broncos and two 80-Series Land Cruisers comprise the offering, and what the group lacks in size it makes up for in iconic status and capability that rewards a closer look.

  • Here’s baT Auction Success Story: Cayman S Track Car In Progress

    BaT member IMK67 recently wrapped up his first track day with the 2006 Porsche Cayman S that he won from Snowcapmotorsinc in a September 2025 BaT auction, and he wrote in to tell us about his experience:
    I’m subscribed to a few categories on Bring a Trailer, primarily motorcycles but also a select number of cars. One afternoon, while at my desk at work, I received a one-hour reminder notification for a 2006 Porsche Cayman S on my watchlist. It was a model that hadn’t been on my immediate radar, but I’d been considering a track-focused project car. I was seeking a strong chassis with reasonable mileage and solid prior ownership.
