“Crank windows, crank sunroof, 100 hp, period correct BBS wheels and Recaro seats, original color. Super cool.”
“I’m a Datsun fan (B210 and my BaT 510) and have never seen one of these ever except in my trusty 1977 Datsun model line sales brochure. The rarity of this F-10 WAGON is indescribable.”

“congratulation to the new owner. as mentioned i am the third owner of this car and i am in many of the pictures with the car from the 80s. including pictures taken at Bloomington when the car was awarded a gold certificate. I enjoyed seeing those pictures again, have not seen them in decades.”

“Several years ago (well, maybe more than several!) I was offered a ride-along slot taking notes on the road trial of a 288 GTO which had just been serviced for a prominent collector here in MD. Midway through the loop, which was about thirty miles on various roads, we merged onto a local interstate at about 90 mph. The driver then floored it, the turbos spooled up, and at 90+ mph the tires chirped and the car rocketed forward, pushing us both back in our seats. I’ll remember that, always- at…”

“As soon as I saw the lead photo when this listing went live, I wondered if this was the same car I saw at Radwood Detroit a few years ago. Your early comment — and digging back through my pictures — confirmed my memory! You’ve done a great job preserving this awesome artifact of the ’90s era.
I had a ’94 GT 5-sp. in Teal Mist, and whenever I see one of these pop up on BAT, I’m tempted to jump in and try to relive my 20s. Subsequent cars I’ve owned have been faster and more…”

“This is an amazing survivor that has been lovingly cared for by the family. The pictures remind me of the pictures I have of my Mom and Dad in front of Dad’s late thirties Harley in their leather motorcycle jackets, over the calf motorcycle boots, and riding pants. They rode from Indiana to the west coast and to Florida a couple of times. A hardy pair.”

“So the car will be staying here in Washington. I live in Steilacoom which is not far from where the car is at now. It will be joining my 1982 spider, very excited to get this car.”

“No power windows. No power locks. No power seats. No heated seats. No radio. No ABS. No GPS. No airbags. No A/C. No Bluetooth. No cruise control. No intermittent wipers.
No problem.”

“@PWSchuh Great observation! This Ace has lived a full life on the track since 1964, and the current suspension reflects how it was dialed in for competition. It handled the turns at Lime Rock and the Hershey Hillclimb beautifully with this setup. While it’s a blast to drive on the street now, the new owner can always revert to a stock alignment. We wanted to show the car with the ‘soul’ of its racing history intact!”

“In 1978, just after graduating from college, I held three jobs, waiter in a restaurant, a raft guide in nearby West Virginia, and a luthier. I would work in my wood studio from monday-friday and then hop in my old volvo with my lab to drive to WVA for my Saturday work on the New or Gauley river, then back on Sunday for my 12 hour shift at the Virginian in Charlottesville.
As a 24 year old I had all the energy in the world. In those days the interstate had not yet been completed in WVA so I…”

“Hi everyone, I bought this incredible 850 with the intention on keeping it forever. Plans change and unfortunately it’s time to part ways. I have had an amazing past year with this car but by far the highlight has to be the road trip home from Calgary to Florida. Instead of heading straight back we headed west thru Banff, Vancouver, Olympic National Park, Redwoods, Monterey Car Week, and Yosemite. I picked up a mattress from Ikea and slept in the back the whole way. 10 days, 5,100 miles and 0…”

“66 is considered a lucky number in various cultures, including Chinese culture, where it symbolizes smooth progress and harmony in relationships. In numerology, it is associated with love, balance, and nurturing partnerships. It’s also a darn fine C2 year!
GLWTA!”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“So an observation of a very obscure Honda factoid. This car has the dealer installed, recall program Takata black plastic guides still in place on the front seat belt latches. The Honda and Acura recall notice back then stated there were complaints about the front seat belts not latching properly. This was Takata’s solution. There was a rumor published at the time saying Honda’s president attributed the problem to us Americans spilling our soft drinks into the latches. Funny, he was…”

“As a Viper enthusiast, I’ve always found myself drawn to the unique, well-optioned examples, particularly the cars that came through the GTC 1 of 1 program.
I tend to break the Gen V ACRs into three general categories. First are the more race-focused 3-speaker ACRs, with 456 produced. Second are the factory Special Editions — GTS-R, VooDoo II, Snakeskin, 1:28 and Dealer Edition — which account for 214 cars in total. Finally, there are the 290 GTC ACRs, a little over 100 of which…”

“Great spot on the 2022 gearbox oil typo.
Our technicians during that time and during 2023 and 2021 records are all former trained factory Lamborghini guys. You can look them up!
As you can see both Motul and Lucas gear oil was used in 2021 and 2023, so I am very confident this is a “ShopWare” typo.
Our software system in the shop was very clunky until recently.
The former owner was very fussy, this is one of the best 1996-1997 Diablo Roadster examples we have seen. The car was…”

“I’ve learned a lot on this project. Thank you dad, grandpa, uncles, and friends to show me around the toolbox. This project has certainly helped me as a 15T Blackhawk mechanic to pick up aviation terminolgy easier. I wouldn’t have had the start I did without your help. My projects started small LOL, but have gotten bigger over the years. If anyone has any remaining questions, feel free to ask. Happy to see this car go to a good owner, but I’m happy to drive it around to car shows and…”

“The Lexus LS430 was built at the moment when the pursuit of perfection and the economics of mass production briefly coincided. That window has closed; it may not open again in our lifetime. And so these cars matter—not for what they are worth in dollars, but for what they prove: that it was possible, that once, for six years in a factory in Tahara, Japan, human beings got as close to perfect as human beings have ever got in the building of a motorcar. And then they stopped, and we moved on……”
