April isn’t even over, and we’re back with another batch of new arrivals in the BaT Gear Store! As the warmer weather ramps up, our stalwart group of BaT staffers are holding it down and have rolled out the fifth merch release of 2026, featuring a fresh take on our Dickies work shirt and a new cotton twill ballcap in two colors. Check them out below!

“This is cool. During the 1950s and 1960s, my grandmother worked for Helms Bakery in Montebello, CA. When I was young, I toured the plant and saw her working—baking donuts.
She would bring home the cardboard miniature Helms trucks for me…
Decades later, for her 90th birthday party, I made it a Helms Bakery–themed event and found an original unfolded cardboard Helms Bakery truck on eBay. I reproduced them so each table had a miniature Helms truck.
The family went nuts over those…”

The team over at Motoring Coffee and BaT Local Partner The Motoring Club is back at it with another great Bay Area event: the year’s second running of Cold Start, which will be held on Sunday, April 26, from 8:00am–11:00am. BaT is a sponsor of the morning’s gathering, which will be held at Marina Middle School, and certain of our staffers will be on hand.

“A classic beauty! I had a ’74 750 Sport. There is beauty in the sparse simplicity of that side view. Be still my beating wallet…”

“I know the 1970 Chevelle people are going to disagree, but the 66/67 Chevelles are the best best styled cars. The C pillars flow just right with the subtle coke bottle sides.”

“Ha, ha, I thought the title said 372-mile! I’m way more impressed that it’s 372,000 miles!”

“This is my old car, and can only say it’s one the best cars I’ve ever owned. These cars were overengineered by Toyota and it shows. Every button, switch, etc all feel perfect. The car drives as smooth as butter. And if you know these SCs, the silver on black is very rare. Most are grandma tan inside. When I opened my garage every day, I always found myself wanting to drive this instead of my Aston Martin. Whoever buys this will be very happy, and get thousands of fantastic miles… actually you…”

“I learned how to drive stick on my Dad’s ‘85.5 White 944 Turbo with phone dials. We loved that car.
That motor was so fun and always sounded so great.
It just about killed my pops when he sold it, but he was getting older and wanted something more comfy and lux and was getting hard for him to get in and out of easily.
That was 20 years ago now (wow!) and every time I fire up my GT4, I think about that car.
Beautiful 944. These cars are so fun and so special.”

Round three of this year’s Michelin and BFGoodrich tire giveaway ended in a tie (another tie!) between the 1970 Volkswagen Type 3 Squareback and the 1983 Ford F-150 XLT. Giving each winner two tires seems like the wrong way to solve it, so we’re awarding both contestants a new set of four!
As part of our ongoing expansion in the UK, a group of BaT staffers—along with BaT President and Co-founder Randy Nonnenberg—will be heading to the second Bicester Scramble of the year, where we’ll be spending time with Sports Purpose, our newest UK Local Partner. Held at Bicester Motion on Sunday, 26 April, the event brings together car enthusiasts for “avenues lined with classic, vintage and modern collector cars, from Austin Sevens to the latest hypercars, and curated displays celebrating the extraordinary,” per the organizer.
You won’t see any Ford Mustangs in this week’s list, but today is the 62nd birthday of the original pony car, and we’re not going to let that pass without noting it. What you will see below is a curated collection of the most interesting and unique vehicles featured on BaT in the last seven days. These certainly aren’t the only notable auctions on our site. In fact, there were many, many vehicles that we weren’t able to exclude from our piece without experiencing some serious mental anguish. But you can still find them among the ~1,100 cars currently on our live auctions page.
A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“Rusty Hammer had always known where he fit.
Thirty years behind the same counter in the same hardware store in Fort Stockton will do that to a man. He was the one folks came to when something broke. Hinges, pipes, doors that wouldn’t close right. Rusty had an answer for all of it.
Until one morning, he didn’t.
It wasn’t dramatic. Just him standing in the hinge aisle, staring at shelves he’d stocked a thousand times, realizing he couldn’t remember why any of it…”

“Also nice that they kept it in original Lime Gold. Probably only half the cars produced still in this wonderful color. My buddy just repainted his back to original Lime Gold after 40 years being Wimbledon white.”

“My hats off to the builder of this 55. Seldom do I see a car that has had all the body work done properly. Take note people, when you take it down to bare metal you’re doing a great job and less likely to have a chemical reaction from previous paint jobs. With the body having a top notch job you know that the rest of the car was built right.”

“Commenting as an owner of a ’72 GTV with V6 using many of the same swap components…
@benzog Looks to be a Larry JR. / Alfa Parts Exchange bellhousing. A very robust casting.
@Stockpat97 Assuming you’re asking about cam belt replacement, the belt & tensioner are easily accessed with the radiator removed.
@Alfaman Right, not easy maneuvering the V6 into place but I’ve done it solo 3 times during the build. Once its in access around the engine is really not bad at all.”

“Dean Batchelor and Phil Hill agreed that if one has only one Ferrari, make it a 330 GTC. It does everything so well. As said, not only does it NOT need power steering, leave off all options including AC and Borrani wire wheels on these cars. The AC in this era had an ugly compressor, was very heavy and not very effective. Borrani’s are certainly beautiful but along with the attaching hardware are much heavier than the race proven Campagnolo disc wheels with their P car style provenance.…”
