“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…”

“10+ years ago I traveled Mexico supporting this legendary little Alfa for the 2015 Carrera Panamericana, unforgettable memories and awesome little car.”

DVmechanics commented on 1968 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300Ti “El Taxi Perdido”

“This car is fast and we raced against it in LCP in my Datsun 510 with many great memories of running in the top 10 together against the big V8 cars. It will go over 130 as I one time switched the Garmin page to history when he wasn’t looking and it said 132 mph…my 510 was good for 121 WFO”

“Ohhh that Cinamon Glow!! What a gorgeous factory color & those stripes really pop. Plus a cactus smasher and a 4-spped what more could you want?! Well done!”

“I was a dispatcher at Greyhound in the 80s just after the last Buffalos were retired. One thing you used to see in ads for used buses was “Never a Greyhound,” meant to say it was never thrashed in daily Dog service and probably wouldn’t have chicken bones shoved into all the heater outlets. Looks like a nice bus.

“I have been fooling around with cars, one way or another, for over sixty years, and I can’t think of any individual automobile that has enjoyed such star quality for such a long time. Look up the rhapsodic writeup on the 300SL Gullwing in “Sports & Classic Cars”, (Borgeson/Jaderquist), published in 1955! Even then, these cars had qualities that set them apart from all others. Their looks, their performance, their racing history, and the people associated with them…everything adds to the…”

“Fun memory. I purchased a very clean, low milage `64 Galaxie 500XL
R-Code 427 4 speed when I returned from Vietnam in `67.
Paid $1700, 59 years ago, when these were just very nice “Used Cars”.
Now, these survivors are the best of the full size “Muscle Cars” extant.”

“I truly appreciate all of the thoughtful comments along the way. The collective expertise of the community is both helpful and part of the fun! I realize that from a collector’s point of view, this may not be ideal. However, I buy them to drive, and it would feel bad buying a perfect spec collector’s car and driving it as hard as I plan to do. The alternative would have been to find a donor car, and either build it myself or take it to a resto mod shop. This one is already done and ready…”

“Having an Arnage was on my bucket list for a very long time and after years trying to find a 2009 I was finally able to get one about 4-5 years ago. It was worth the wait. Just being inside it is a special occasion. It became my daily driver for a while and I always caught myself finding excuses to go places so I could drive it.
On a funny note, every time I’m on a 4-way stop people wait for me to go first. I think they just want to stare at the Arnage. People love it.
If you are true car…”

“Super excited. I have a twin of this car in the driveway, save for wood trim vs. carbon fiber and over 275,000 miles on the odometer. If I get even half that much more fun out of this one, I’ll feel pretty blessed.”

“Wonderful handling wagons. If well maintained the drivetrain will last well past 200k miles. Most common issues are door panel fabric detachment, interior plastic scratching, exterior door window rubber degradation, and infotainment electronic glitches. Anyone who says they should have offered this with the six has never driven one. For its intended market the 2.4 is more than adequate to move the wagon at a comfortably fast pace and the five speed auto is well matched to the engine. For those…”

“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…”

“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!”
