    Happy to answer questions and provide documentation.

    “Ccatalana, Yes it is TROG ready. It was registered and tech accepted (after they had me install the roll hoop and lower the seat for helmet clearance) in Oct 2021. I wish I had a video of it blasting down the track but it rained out that year due to the hurricane.”

    “What a great airplane for BaT. Responsive, and sporty to please a lot of pilots, and basic enough to be a trainer for a new student.
    And, seller, your preparation is excellent, I can’t think of anything not covered in photos, text, and videos.”

    “Woah! Serendipitous… just saw my first Sonett on the road two weeks ago, after a two + decade hiatus from my own eyes. Sure, I’ve seen them at car shows, but in motion? Running errands? Not in forever… such a cool cat rolling down the road. Makes me wish that all cars were of this scale, instead of bloated monstrosities.”

    “Had this exact car, one of my favorite cars of all time. Nothing like a big sedan that runs like a hot rod. And these cars do. Not sure how they gear them or what is done to them. But this car is an amazing performance vehicle. I have a s65 now. But I actually liked the 63 more. Especially for just driving pleasure”

    “Thks auction has brought back some memories for me. Back in the mid/late fifties my parents had a 1952 Buick Roadmaster woody wagon, maroon with maroon leather interior. It was may fathers favorite car out of many Buicks he had owned. On many warm Sunday afternoons my parents would load me and my brother in the Buick along with a pick nick basket, and sometimes a cocker spaniel, and we’d go for drive. Often the drive took us to a place here in the hills of north central Pennsylvania know as…”

    “One of the coolest daily drivers of all time. A wagon with a supercharged v8. The six-speed manual is the cherry on top. GLWTA!”

    “I was a teenager HS student working at the corner service station. We had a local Dr that had one of these, his was the beautiful dark blue with matching padded top. He would pull in for gas, 27 gallon tank. After putting the car in “Park” he would tilt the wheel which would almost go horizontal on these and throw a small towel that covered the wheel from rim edge to edge. Gas up. Then………the fun would begin! Around to the car wash. Customers would be directed into the wash at the correct…”

    “A Volvo PV544 has been my dream car since I was a teenager. I belong to a women’s vintage car club here on the CA Central Coast called the Highway Honeys. “Lemondrop” as I am calling this beauty would be a perfect addition to my life!”

    “A rare Terminator here. Only 610 Redfire ‘verts rolled off the assembly line in ’03, and only 196 of those had the Parchment Suede seat inserts. GLWA!”

    “The 330 GTC has always been a favorite of mine. And the 512BB. When I was first working out of college in the early ’80’s my wife and I honeymooned in San Francisco and I dragged her to Ferrari Los Gatos, and there on the floor were my two dream cars, a 330 GTC sitting next to a 512BB. I remember them being in the $25 – $35K range? And thinking, I’ll be able to afford one of those. Unfortunately life intervened and prices for these cars increased but I was finally able to realize a dream…”

    “I own a manual 6 speed ’07 NC. These are just fabulous vehicles. Nothing goes wrong. Certainly one of the finest engines Mazda ever built. Gobs of fun driving top-down and a true value fot the $ spent. New owner will be happy. GLWTA”

    “Thanks to all bidders. I fell in love with the 904 when I first saw one in the 1980’s. I think it the most beautiful care design ever. Thats why I had to have the Beck 904. I started discussing the car with Chuck Beck in early 2020, and pulled the trigger in October of 2020. It was a 3 year build process, and I visited the factory many times during the build. My wife was involved too, and picked out the interior colors. I think it turned out nicely. Thanks for all the positive comments.”

    “The 505 wagon, IMHO, is one of the great longroofs. They endure rugged conditions in Africa without complaint. The 4 cylinder engine is about as indestructible as they get. Cargo capacity is unmatched. Yet the ride is so so comfy. Best seats anywhere. The video shows it off well.”

    “Another one that I helped build at Torslanda in Goteborg. Some had a note under the dash: built in Sweden by a yankee. I was the only American out of supposedly 46 nationalities working there”

    “If you told me I would pull-up BaT today and there would be a 6-wheeled EcoSport for sale, I would have sent you to rehab. I’m speechless.”

    “A very special car here. This is one of the original World’s Fair batch of 60 Mustang GTs Ford built for the 1965 New York World’s Fair, the cars that introduced the GT package to the press and the first ones that rolled off the line. On April 15, 1965, all 60 were lined up together. Henry Ford II, Lee Iacocca, and Don Frey rolled past the row. The cars then went to journalists for a 10-day press evaluation. After that they were returned to Ford and sold as demos. About 20 of the original…”

    “Starting in 2023 these cars are turbocharged only it runs the 3gen erad rear diff that is constantly engaged compared to the clutch style of the previous model which could disconnect when not needed. The fun part is that if you are driving electric only you are rwd with instant torque.
    I trekked down from Seattle to Cali for. ‘24 with 4k miles on it. It’s my daily commuter and plugging it in at home I have only topped off the gas tank once in 2 months.
    Anyone that is considering these…”
