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

    “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.”

    “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.”

    “Drove my 1966 912 to CA to visit my folks from Fort Hood after returning from Vietnam. I was McQueen’s photo-double and stand-in during the filming of The Sand Pebbles when I received my ‘Greetings’ letter from the draft board. Steve and Neile invited us to ‘the Castle’ for dinner. My 912 began some serious noise and I took it to a Porsche shop Steve recommended. Something was wrong with the factory half axle or axles and, they required replacement/upgrading. I for get now (80…”

    “I love the 124, having owned many wagons and coupes and currently a Cab, these really are from a time when M-B was the best in the world. But this one, an AMG wide-body, just wow. I thought the E500 6.0 sold last year was the peak, but I sit corrected, has to be this one. Stunning in every way, GLWTA!”

    “This is the perfect example of a GT to be bought and driven. It is completely sorted and ready to drive without concern for “never driven garage queen”
    Buy this, drive it, and love it!
    They are such a blast to drive”

    “As a young couple we had a 1964 122sw from Massachusetts was which perfect given my tip income as a student & bartender. We ran it until the 225,000 mile mark and sold it for more than we paid for it. This restoration corrects for all of my Volvos obsolescence or weaknesses; larger engine; better fuel delivery; rust remediation, nice interior and respectable paint job. This one is a keeper! Thanks for posting.”

  • A Look at baT Auction Success Story Update: Motown Targa, Back Again

    Byjustpastevehicles

    06/03/2026 Update: BaT user B.Fryk wrote to us in May 2023 about the 2015 911 Targa 4S that he won from BenKeith in a March 2023 BaT auction, and today he’s back to give us a post-road-trip update after scuttling his original plan to “fly and drive.”
    B.Fryk writes:
    In March 2023, I placed the winning bid on one of my dream cars: a low-mileage 2015 911 Targa 4S. It departed from NorCal for its new life in the Motor City. Since it was early March, the summer tires didn’t allow for a cross-country drive home, so onto the hauler she went. I recently made up for this by completing my “epic trip west,” a 6,200-mile road trip to the West Coast and back. I appreciate that each owner is free to drive their Porsche as little or as much as desired. I personally leaned into driving the car a lot, as Dr. Porsche intended. Looking toward my October 2025 calendar, my high school reunion in Pasadena was coming up one weekend, followed by a family wedding in Livingston, Montana, the next. With family in the Bay Area, it was the perfect opportunity for a road trip. A break in my schedule allowed me a two-and-a-half-week trip West!

    “The Superleggera V4 was capped at 500 units worldwide for 2020 and remains the first street-legal motorcycle with a carbon fiber frame, subframe, swingarm and wheels as standard — Ducati had to get specific homologation approval for the structural carbon!!!!! What a Bike!!!!”

    Here’s video Inspiration: DB4 Zagato 2 VEV, Maxed Out at the Manx Classic

    Byjustpastevehicles

    The Isle of Man, home of the world’s wildest motorcycle race, welcomed road racing cars to the Snaefell Mountain Course for the Merlin Manx Classic starting in 1989. This clip hails from the 1992 running, and highlights a DB4GT Zagato driven by the late gentleman racer Nick Cussons. This particular Zagato—famously known as 2 VEV—lived a short-yet-dramatic early racing career; initially raced by the legendary Jim Clark, it was also one of three cars rebuilt to lighter DP209 specification following the first of its three lifetime crashes. Fortunately, it was fixed up each time and continued to deliver the drama:

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

    “Having owned a few examples of every iteration of the VW bus, I consider the 1978 to be the best year. The driving experience is really hard to beat in any vehicle. IYKYK. So many have been downgraded with carburetors. I drove a 78 all over the US and back and forth to Alaska in the 1990s. Used it to start my business in Northern Minnesota where I drove it year round for several years. I jump started many a neighbors cars and trucks. Interesting point- a member of a new new bluegrass band in…”

    teledriver commented on No Reserve: 1978 Volkswagen Type 2

    “This is an amazing car, I remember seeing it at Nth Moto many years ago. Every S7 is special, but this one being modified to “11” by Nth Moto (probably the best bespoke high performance shop in the country) makes it even moreso. If anyone is hesitant about this being modified, don’t be. Whether it’s Viper, Ford GT, Lambo, etc anything Nth Moto touches turns out exceptional and their quality of work is better than OEM. Good luck with the auction, seller. Beautiful car.”

    “@tonanzintla Thank you for the Tom Matano mention! I think it was 2002 that I took my Miata to the Laguna Seca historics where there was a Miata corral. I remembered that Tom Matano was there with a De Tomaso I had never seen. In recent years, I’ve been trying to remember what it was. Thanks for solving my dilemma! I remember it as being small.”
