    “OK, I’m gonna cry now. This is literally my dad’s car. So many memories with this vehicle. He bought it from the old man in ferrari in the first dealership. It was the dealership owner‘s car.”

    “@Jimily @07SGT1978 Actually, a 302 cubic inch engine is a 4.9L, but Ford’s marketing people very wisely rounded up. I’m pretty sure Mustang fans think those trademark 5.0 badges are a vast improvement over 4.9, and I know Vanilla Ice thought so!”

    “It always amazed/surprised me that if you bought a Cadillac of that era, the convertible top from the inside exposed the bare metal frame and had no headliner but the modest VW came standard with a substantial padded cloth inner liner that concealed the frame structure while reducing road noise and increasing cabin warmth and comfort.”

    “Awesome! Thanks @cbjeep and team for saving it, but not overdoing it. I really appreciate the BaT community’s comments throughout this auction; they really helped me form a more fulsome picture of the car. The debate on condition is always entertaining, and really a personal preference thing. To me, this is as cool as it gets: a (nearly) guilt-free driver with character that’s impossible to replicate. It will look great next to Freiburger’s Disgustang!”

    “Nice to see car I built in the 80sdid all metal and paint for John did what he wanted. Twisted my arm hard to modify being I like to restore to original builds. But John had a dream and I did for him. Have pictures of me doing car. Great comment tempting to want in my shop again. Would love to talk to John but believe he has passed. Maybe talk to mercuryKG7H some time. So blessed I had my hands in a beautiful fine Ferrari. Frogman.”

    “This surprises me! Examples individualized to this extent and enthusiast level usually stay with their owner forever, but life moves on. Someone will be walking right into a seriously perfect M3 right off the rip!”

    “Kyoichi smoked my white R34 on Initial D arcade stage 5 today. Funny Kyoichi Evo 3 is on BAT. GLWS on one of my favorite Evo you rarely see in the states.”

    “My son was racing our Datsun roadster in D Production one of the times Paul ran in the same class at Daytona. He wandered up to our crew working on our roadsturd. His crew had sent him to borrow a multimeter. He would just show up and pay the late regristration fees so everyones crew wouldn’t be packed with “crew” there just to catch a look at him as a star. I think he enjoyed just being one of us club racers. Very pleasant to talk to. He wasn’t in a hurry to get back to his crew who might have…”

    1600veloce commented on Lot #250,000: 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO

    “Former owner of this car, here. This was one of the best running and funnest driving 911’s I have ever owned. The E model has smaller numbers, but probably is the best driving street machine out of all the early cars. 1972 model to boot! For a little background, this car was purchased brand new by an airline 747 captain living in Tiburon, CA. Years later I find myself working for that same airline. A few years back I was flying with a guy on a multi day trip. We were shooting the breeze while…”

    “The ultimate Uber Wagon that BMW should have built in the first place! GLWTA.”

    JWHBOOMER commented on M5-Swapped 2002 BMW 540i Sport Wagon 6-Speed

    “I had to chime in as this brought back memories. My dad had one with factory 4 speed and (at least) front disc brakes. Can’t remember the rears. Factory silver with a vinyl roof. That 4 speed was a LONG throw so it took a while to get there. A lot of axle hop. I always thought it would make a great sleeper hotrod with a bit of engine & suspension work. I had no idea how rare the factory options were. Who knew?”

    “Always loved these. I am the person responsible for that front cover photo of Hemmings Muscle Machines. I was the editor of that magazine at the time. That Mopar issue was a ton of work, but satisfying. Beautiful example of when Chrysler actually built cars. Today, just the Pacifica.”

    “Thanks P 38. I went to college driving a new R1 with air-conditioning. And automatic. I dated.my wife in a red Avanti. Married in 1965 and sold the Avanti get a car with a bench seat for our daughter’ s car seat. I have known where my original car is but have tried unsuccessfully for 30 years to buy it. When this car came along, I said what the heck. I’m excited to have a supercharged car and relieve some old memories. That is a lot of what the old car hobby is about.”

    “Taking quiet satisfaction that, in this era of automotive touchscreen-maxing, “crank windows” is a noteworthy feature that adds value.”

    Type5314 commented on Single-Family-Owned 1967 Volkswagen Beetle

    “I grew up in my family’s Pontiac dealership that opened in 1967. Crazy about high performance Firebirds & GTOs, especially the rare & special round port cars. From RAII in 1968 (356 cars), RAIV in 68 & 69 (1808 cars), 455 H.O. in 71 & 72 (5037 cars) and the last of the Mohicans, SD-455 in 73 & 74 (1296 cars). With over 4000 Pontiac dealerships back then most never acquired a single super duty during the two years of production. They were insanely hard to get. Our store…”
