“In 1964 this car appeared in my neighborhood in Ft. Lauderdale Florida. I was an impressionable fifteen-year-old and Dr. Lane was daily driving this 904 all over town. One day I chased him on my bicycle to inquire about the car. He generously let me sit in the car and told me about his racing plans. He traded in a Ferrari 250 (SWB) to obtain this Porsche. Dr. Lane was a renaissance man- brain surgeon, commadore at Lauderdale Yacht Club, pilot and owner of twin engine airplane, SCCA racer,…”

“Oh hello, old friend! I managed Aston Martin Newport Beach for 6+ years, I spec’d this car personally, and I sold it to the original owner. Used to see him driving in Newport/Laguna all the time. I don’t work there anymore, so I don’t have access to the service records, but my memory was that the original owner did the scheduled maintenance on time, and the remainder of the service visits you see on the carfax are for tires. I seem to remember that he didn’t have the best luck with…”

“My first auction win. I talked about going on my retirement national road trip for a long time. Now I will really have to clean out the garage. I really wanted this one and only went over my max bib by $500. Thanks for the congrats comments everyone!”

“What a fabulous example of the timeless Pagoda; interesting history and colors, well-documented and presented (all the spot welds you could ever ask for!), two tops, and three pedals….. Surely this must be in the top 10% of 280SLs recently offered here?!?”

“@jtzer I was the founder of Classic Promenade and sold the dealership to two young, smart and hard-working couples on June 30th. I completely inspected this Bentley and drove it extensively in June, even in the 100 plus F temperatures in Phoenix. (I’m a senior RROC and concours judge). It essentially drives as a new S1 Continental. I am now in Lucerne, Switzerland driving our R-Type Mulliner Lightweight Saloon for two months from Ireland to Tuscany and back. Cheers and best of luck to the…”

“Awesome! Looking forward to it. Sadly, my wife passed away a couple of weeks ago from a long fight with breast cancer. I have two 1984 533i’s one is a parts car, the other is a work in progress, and I have spent so much time and money working on it that I simply don’t want the hassle any longer. I have always wanted the original M5, and my wife would be happy that I made that dream a reality. So looking forward to it!!”

“The rarity of the M81 McLaren Mustang DSO kit cannot be overstated. Maybe 20 were made in addition to the 10 M81 McLaren Mustang prototypes. Of the DSOs on the road, I know of maybe 5. I own one which is currently on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Added note, the rear GT Enduro spoiler is even more rare.”

“Cool build! I’m not much of a rat rod guy but this has so much going for it I couldn’t resist checking it out. The radiator mounted in back is is very well done and I love the way the grill shell keeps with the voodoo/Tiki vibe! And a hemi? Awesome.”

“‘Love it when he owner provides spirited driving videos! Congratulations to @waltnelson. That was a fun ride. I’ve had my teal blue ’73 B//GT for 39 years now. I only drive it when I need to go somewhere in a car. (Think about that for a moment…) Well… I don’t drive it in snow/salt season. I agree with all the great comments about these cars already posted here; adding only that the B/GT is about the most useful little car on the planet, and that MG owners have got to be…”

“Behold the magic of BaT:
We’ve got what’s likely the nicest ‘Wagon Queen Family Truckster’ replica ever made currently available and now we’ve got an extremely close-enough example of what Clark W. Griswold traded-in at Lou Glutz Motors with this ‘70 Vista Cruiser.

“Tip..!
The person who wins this auction and also every non bidder / winner genuinely interested in important car history should buy the 1990 book “Hans Ledwinka, Seine autos sein leben”. Currently there is one offered on the internet at only 173 us.Even though it is in german,the pictures and technical drawings tell an interesting story. I myself triggered by this auction got the book out of my library just now and even got a bit nostalgic realising that its 60 plus year ago on a hitchhike…”

“”Built with the 2.8L EFI V6 and 5-Speed Manual Overdrive Transmission: 1,564 (less than 7% of production)”
As a former XR4Ti owner who frequented the Merkur forums in the late ’90s and early ’00s, I can tell you that examples with the 5-speed manual were engine swap gold in salvage yards. (Though perhaps only the later/larger 3.0 V6?)
Specifically, those looking to ditch the Merkur’s 2.3T and replace it with the V6 from the Taurus SHO. This transmission and bellhousing made the swap much…”

“The swap is Fonzie-cool all by itself, but the fact that this swap is entirely hiding in absolute plain sight is incredibly brilliant. The exterior says Grandma-and-Grandpa’s old Oldsmobile and nothing but a clean and bone stock Brougham.
The gauges and the OEM CB are the chef’s kiss to complement this newfound proper-power Diesel.
Besides, anyone can do an LS-swap.”

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

“These were never intended to remain stock, much like the ’66 427 Fairlanes coming without a Trac-Lok rear diff. These were intended to have headers and a bigger Holley mounted by the owner to let the big fella breathe, and once you do that, there’s no comparison between a BOSS ‘9 and any Cobra Jet 428 or 429, even with the same mods done to them.”

“I owned one of these (85, Black with a manual) back when they were relatively new and I absolutely loved the car.
The car was so much fun to drive and was totally at home on the highway.
Being a young guy living in Seattle during the 80’s and really into the music scene (which was on fire back then) friends and I frequently traveled up and down I-5 checking out the music in different cities and we always took the Merk.
I remember one time leaving Seattle late at night heading towards…”

“I have had many 105 series cars: GTV’s, Scalino’s, Giulia’s, a Spider and many Berlina’s. Years ago the Berlina’s, due to low value, served as donors for the 2L engine and limited slip diff. The styling is not a dramatic as the other 105 series cars, however driving them they hold as the best of the range! I love the 2L dash and driving at night…as the lighting in the dash is activated by a separate button…which makes the beautiful white dails light up! It’s a spacious comfortable fast…”

A huge thank you to everyone who followed along, bid, and left such kind comments throughout the auction! I really enjoyed talking about the car and laughing at all the movie quotes. I hope the Truckster continues to bring joy and smiles in its next chapter. Cheers to all of you, this…”

“My grandparents bought a Yugo new (I want to say it was a 1987). I was about 13 or 14 years old, few years later my single parent mom working 3 jobs to raise 3 kids needed a “reliable” car and bought the Yugo from my grandparents. I was 16 or 17 by now and getting into my driving days. The Yugo manual transmission is the car that I learned in. After I got my license, I drove the car often and one day rolled through an intersection and crashed into an old lady. I was devastated that I wrecked my…”

“I saw this car in person at a show several years back, this is a very well kept and well curated example that presents at least as nice in person as it does in photos.
A notchback 900 is on my list of Saabs to own, I don’t care if it’s a 2 or 4 door. I’m hoping one day I’ll come across another admiral blue over blue cloth sedan like I had in college.”
