“I owned two 1976 Trans Ams back in the ’80s and ’90s: a 400 4spd and a 455 4spd. They are really special cars. I often notice TA owners leave the shaker hood scoops sealed, and I wonder why. It takes a few minutes to remove the plate and the intake noise completely changes the driving experience and adds some power. My friends would ask me to get on it just so they could hear the roar from the shaker scoop which sounded like it would suck in animals and small children if they were too close.…”

“My dad is a 90 year old retired firefighter. I’m wondering what he would say if I showed up in his driveway with this for his upcoming birthday. He’d probably figure out a way to water his tomato plants with it… 🤔😂”

“The previous owner was a good friend of mine that has now gone to the garage in the sky. Seeing this brings up some great memories and I like to think he’s watching the auction from above. This was his final sale before he passed, he was pretty much in his last days during the auction. I was so pleased the auction went so well for him at the time. One final time at BAT and he hit it out of the park! Love ya an miss ya Joe!
And to the next owner of this amazing rig…congrats in advance,…”

“Back In 1971 fresh out of high school and still 17 worked with my uncle at a local auto repair garage. My job lowest of lowest was the under the car stuff. In came one of these with a transmission leak. My job clean of all the dirt and grime from years of driving so the mechanics could find the leak. Upon getting the OK was told to go clean up and put on a clean set of coveralls. Upon returning was given the keys and told to drive to a nearby by town and back. My jaw dropped to the ground. 17…”

“We’ve been going to Bonneville for over 25 years. First with the Buell team ( I got into the 130 Club on a Buell). In 2008, I set 2 landspeed records, ECTA Maxton and Speedweek. I got my A liscense in 2009. After a break to concentrate on our motorcycle race team (AFT Flat Track) we returned with a Ford F150 Lightening. We are the current record holder in the A/FMP class at 170+ MPH. This year we are Gold Sponsors of the SCTA-BNI Bonneville season. My intention is to return this legendary Audi…”

“I knew this was a California car as soon as I saw the chrome wheels. In the 90s, my uncle, who was a doctor in Newport Beach, bought this exact same spec. As a kid who was used to being toted around in spartan Volvos, I thought it was the fanciest car I had ever sat in.
FWIW early 1UZ-FEs are non-interference engines so timing belt failure (which is rare) is not necessarily catastrophic.”

“Gotta love ❤️ 84.9 CENT/gal gas on 10 JAN 1994. Seriously, this 2nd Gen (1992) Honda Wagon is virtually identical to the one our family drove from that year to 2009 with zero issues. It was the reason I got another white 1993, virtually identical to this one, on BaT recently to relive the best car ever. It actually has a little “Grannymobile” sticker on the rear window. GLWTA!”

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

“In many respects the Z432 is like the 911 Carrera RS 2.7.
Very rare, look nearly identical to their garden variety siblings and the high desirability is based all around the engine.
Having a production car in 1972 with a redline of 7500-rpm was insane and the technology that went into that cylinder head was something the Europeans were not even doing until the next decade.
To some degree Nissan did themselves in, as the L-series grew to a 2.8L, a modified L28 could easily outgun a 432.…”

“Anecdotally, I was told by the head of Porsche Museum (at the time) Dieter Labdsburger, that they took the Abarth to the wind tunnel and a standard 356, and found out that the Abarth, that they paid a lot of money for for further development in aerodynamics, was less aerodynamic than the stock version! I think this example is simply beautiful, tastefully done, and without the aerodynamic drag of the car it was trying to emulate…. but retaining the lovely engine lid. I will be watching….…”

“When I was a new pilot in a Navy Fighter Squadron, one of my favorite “older” Squadron mates used to have get togethers at his house. He had a bar in his kitchen /living room and at the end was his lucky ejection seat that he had used when he was an F-8 pilot. He had the seat built in and only HE was allowed to ever sit in that “lucky” seat! Good memories.”

Sequoia commented on No Reserve: ACES II Ejection Seat

“I’ve owned two of these. My first was a brand new fawn beige 283 4bbl that I drove 60,000 miles in three years. I had the dealer add GM seat belts. It was completely trouble free. Mine originally came with the spare tire tucked under the top well. About a year into it Chevrolet had a recall to move it to the right rear quarter panel are as this car shows. People were cutting the rear window and stealing the spare tires. I still have the original window sticker. A beautiful car.”
