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

“Reviewing the Marti Report on this beautiful F250 it appears that Teague Ford ordered it without a rear bumper. That was typical with Ford dealers in rural eastern Washington areas like Walla Walla. The factory installed rear bumpers offered by Ford at the time were considered inadequate for the kind of heavy duty usage intended by many customers – who were often farmers. Most often dealers in the area ordered pickups without rear bumpers to allow customers to select their preferred style from…”

“I first met the owner, and viewed this Sprint over a decade ago at Concorso Italiano, and have driven with them in Provence. It’s exemplary of the great Giulietta sport touring experience. I didn’t expect the seller to ever let it go. I suspect he’s got something really special lined up as replacement.”

“That Sport Top is an incredibly rare accessory. Not many were sold and few have survived in good condition. I’ve only seen one other intact one. The Model Prefix indicates it was built as a Utility trimmed Travel Top but somewhere along the line, the bulkhead and Sport Top were added. I wonder if it was the original owner. Interesting 800!”

“My 66 Shelby is a 4 speed, my 65 cobra is a manual, but I have owned two 67 500 Automatics and 3 67 350 4 Speeds. I loved my 67 small block cars, but nothing like putting a 500 in drive and just cruise. Maybe I’m just getting old, but I did catch myself driving the auto 500s more than the manuals.”

CollectorCarClub commented on 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 Fastback

“What a legacy this car has… Bruce McLaren, who “finished second behind Jack Brabham”… those are names I read about in Car & Driver as a kid… cars were named after these men! And the tracks: Silverstone, Riverside, Laguna Seca… storied venues all.
This is a piece of history, never to be repeated. That it was powered by the little aluminum Buick engine, fed by a quartet of Webers is like icing on the cake. Once again, the offerings on BaT never fail to surprise and amaze.”

“I have known this DB4 Zagato and it’s sister Zagato 1 VEV since the 1960s at Goodwood and subsequently in the late 1980s when it was local to me and I used to see it driven on the street. Good to see the old warhorse in fine fettle and singing automotive opera….”

“Ahhh, the Saab night mode. Easily one of the coolest features ever put in a car. Wish we could have Saabs still being released today, they were so cheeky”

“1988 I’d be taking this home. Mine was blue and white. Like the man said earlier. It would make novice look good. 66 years old still a novice lol. Roll on wheelies, check. Slam second you better be hanging on and sitting foward. The only race I ever lost was to a Ferrari. Smoked him off the line. 120 I looked in the mirror. Too late, just then he blew by me like I was standing still. At 150 came around the next bend. He was just a red speck. Going around the next turn. Ah to be young. Slowly…”

“I bought my 1st 300SL roadster in 1987, and sold my last one in 2018. I have loved the model since I was a 1st grader in 1957. I found the 300SL to be remarkably bulletproof when sorted by an excellent mechanic. I 1st met Scott Grundfor in 1989. Because I lived on the East Coast, most work on my 300SL’s was done by Paul Russell, in Massachusetts. My ownership experience was greatly enhanced by my membership in the Gull Wing Group, founded in 1961, and dedicated to the preservation, and…”

“Nine-liter Viper power with a six-speed manual and a transfer case? Look out SRT Trackhawk! As a kid I was intrigued by Bill Harrah’s daily driver Jerrari, the Wagoneer with a Columbo V12, but this has more than twice the HP! Amazing, GLWTA!”

Valiantjim commented on Viper-Powered 1979 Jeep Cherokee Chief 6-Speed by Vigilante

“Just shy of 50 years old, and the design is still stunning. And mechanically, an easy car to maintain and a fun car to drive, especially in this original configuration. One of the landmark Ferraris that will always turn heads wherever you drive it. GLWTA.”

“My best friend has his dad’s 240Z in this color combo. His dad died when he was young and he’s dreamt of getting it out of the garage, rust repaired, and running since. Sadly I’m not sure that day will ever come. This one… this is just fantastic. Wish he could have one go in his dad’s car… one day!
Either way… @raffi is a top person and seller! Best of luck to the future buyer! The car will be delivered as promised.”

“The German language 1989 color info brochure from Porsche lists lachsilbermetallic as color code Z9. I only see three other US market ’89s in this color, would argue that it’s more than 3 paint cans rare, per Rennbow.”
