    “I’m so excited! I lost a 1998 c43 sedan in a fire 5 years ago and have told myself to wait for the wagon and I finally have one! Plus it’s my birthday next week!”

    Gnomenclature commented on No Reserve: 68k-Kilometer, Japanese-Market 1998 Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG Wagon

    “This is an absolutely stunning car. We had this one at Macchinissima III and it was a favorite. I had the pleasure to drive it a little bit. It is very approachable but the Ford engine does scream with all the best noises. Condition is on another level of this one.”

    “My grandfather bought one of these new back in the day and got a surprise when he picked it up after its first scheduled service at the dealership. The service writer put “Aspen” on the repair order, so my grandfather asked him to correct it. Confused, the service guy walked over to his car and pointed at the “Aspen” badge on the side of the car. They walked around to the drivers side and were greeted by a “Volare” badge! I assume the workers on the assembly line just grabbed the…”

    “The good old days. Sit down with a sales person and start checking the right boxes to buy the car that’s built just for you.”

    junkman commented on 1966 Chevrolet Impala Convertible 396 4-Speed

    “Beautiful car, tremendous history. Made all the more valuable in my eyes by not being a static display. Too many “experienced” cars are doomed to a life in a cage, never again to be heard or seen performing the purpose they were built for…driving with spirit. Thanks, and good luck.”

    “Kudos for installing the flathead. Yes, the Chevy is a great engine, but they don’t have to be in everything, especially a Model A. Perfect hot rod. GLWTA!”

    “Absolute stunner. Certainly one of the top three motorcycles of all time; likely the ‘top one’.
    Exquisite restoration. This can, and ought, to be ridden.”

    “I’ve driven this car & own a w108 Matt fitted a 113k drivetrain to. If you have the means I highly recommend it.”

    “I must commend the team at Revology on an absolute triumph of packaging. It is one thing to shoehorn a Gen 3 Coyote into an early-model engine bay, but the way this has been engineered is incredibly clean. You actually left plenty of room to work on the car, and the plumbing is pure art. It takes a truly discerning eye to differentiate this from a factory-spec 1968 Fastback until you pop the hood.
    The juxtaposition of eras is beautifully executed. Catching the modern Ford door-ajar chime in…”

    “Hello! My name is Peter and I love Volvo 240s. I learned to drive in a 240 wagon and the first car I ever owned was another 240 wagon. I have since owned and refurbished dozens of 240s and I regularly help other people with their 240s in Portland, Oregon. My current daily driver is a blue 1987 Volvo 240 Wagon with 444k miles on it. I bought it non-running a few years ago and have since put 27k miles on it, including a many road trips around the west coast.
    This green 1979 Volvo 242 is a…”

    “A layman’s view.
    This is one sweet ride…I trust I’m not the only BaTer in the mood for a slice of Key Lime pie :)”

    Hoppy18 commented on 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400 S

    “I’m not old enough to have experienced this… But imagine seeing one of these in 1969.
    Verde Miura over blue is quintessential Lamborghini.
    Amazing design.
    One of the greatest ever.”

    Button commented on 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400 S

    “I never thought I would say it, but, as this car shows, the cool factor for Cads has surpassed BMW, Audi, and Porsche. They finally got their interiors right too. Apparently the market agrees. The average transaction price for Cadillac is now $90k – more than BMW, Audi, and Mercedes, and behind only Porsche and Range Rover (you can’t really get any Porsche for $90k any more so that isn’t surprising).”

    “I made a comment on this auction before an epic 10 day trip to Italy. I’m back. The auction is still going!
    I was in northern Italy (Milan and Lake Como) and guess how many Ferraris I saw?
    One. One solitary 296… in ten days.
    My son: “Dad, where are all the Ferraris?”
    Me: “In the USA.””

    “Mezger engine block was literally built to be wailed on at redline for 24 hrs straight, it’s nearly impossible to destroy it, you have to be intentionally holding it past redline for probably 1 hr+.
    Reminds me of the old cash for clunkers video where they emptied the oil pan on an 80 series landcruiser, put it in neutral, and floored it. It took like 20+ mins at past redline for the engine to give out with no lubrication.”

    “I have and would drive any 200 cross country. Bring a couple spanners 10mm 13 mm pop into advance grab some coolant and oil, bring an extra thermostat and you should be good to go.
    If coming west stay off 80 at night when rainy lol. 200’s are the best when on point.”

    “My family has been the proud steward of this remarkable 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham for nearly 70 years, and it has been one of our most treasured possessions. My father purchased this car new in 1957 as a gift to my mother, and it has been a part of our family’s story ever since.
    My father, Ralph S. Peer, was a pioneering figure in the American music industry; the A&R executive behind some of the most historically significant recordings ever made, including Crazy Blues, the first…”

    “The car that blasted through Porsche RR7 at Laguna Seca Raceway in Oct 2023. I could remember being invited to the unveiling of the GT3 R Rennsport. Patrick Long was introducing this beauty in the hot pits at Laguna Seca Raceway outside of garage 12. Great memories capturing this beauty through the crowd of enthusiasts and gear heads at 9:30 pm at night after day one of Porsche’s RR7. One of the best modern day GT cars by Metzger and Porsche.”

    “A cool Ferrari moment I thought I would share, the Mondial was the only model Ferrari pope John Paul II was ever seen in. This picture comes from the Pope’s visit to the legendary Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy back in 1988. He later celebrated Mass at the Fiorano Circuit racetrack. Instead of traveling in the regular Popemobile that day, the Pope took a ride in one of the Ferraris that was waiting for him at the factory. The mondial remains an icon with timeless pininfarina lines, mid…”

    “This is about as thoughtful of a build as they come. The TJM T17 is the best aftermarket bumper in my opinion. I’m curious about the Kenwood touch screen – I’ve got an ’03, and am not familiar with this navigation delete.”
