“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!”

“Thank you all. We reached a fair deal, and I am super excited to be the 2nd owner of this masterpiece. It will be driven much more than it has been over the past 47 years. Will be sitting next to its cousin, my ’73 CSL. Mario (VSR), get some room ready…!!! Thank you, Brian, for working on this deal with me. It will be in good hands for a while! Best to all. David”

“I thought that someday the “Krispy Kritter” would end up here on BaT! I was born in October of 1966 and have known this car practically my whole life. My dad was a lifelong car guy and friends of the builders/owners Ted Trischler and Frank Dennler and was there the first time they fired up the Kritter! What is ironic that people mention it reminds them of the Batmobile from the rear is that the car was actually built in a cave (Batcave) of the hillside section of Spring Garden that is located…”

“For general information only: The “green things” on most Citroëns of this era all relate to the hydraulic system. Green indicates LHM (mineral oil) fluid vs older red (brake fluid) systems. The SM has 6 green things visible under the hood. From left to right you have; Passanger’s front suspension sphere (acts like a shock absorber and allows different ride heights), In the center – Hydraulic main pump, Main pressure sphere (which controls five levels of ride height, brakes, steering, clutch…”

“As the 3rd owner of this wonderful car I can tell you it was my pride and joy from roughly 2009-2014. All records and receipts from Esoteric and San Antonio Texas were mine. Car was a later production VIN so had a couple unique and relatively rare options … Rosso scuderia brake calipers … only available in the later production run as many cars had Rosso corsa calipers even though the exterior was spec’d in Rosso scuderia … one of those details that ‘if you know you notice’
Also…”

“For those who are about to restore one of these models some advice. One of the most frustrating part of the restoration was obtaining the right size rubber souround for the door opennings. Tried twice from a well known UK supplier and they both failed. Found a Cicogna made part at a German supplier which finally worked.”

“I have such a weird taste in cars. I just received an alert for an 8k mile 540i 6 speed and this 74 deville. Hilariously enough I’ve owned both.”

“Very excited. I have been looking for a long time, and plan to use it as a daily driver as well as occasional track use. So the somewhat odd spec is perfect for my intended use. I am far from being a professional driver, so I plan to enjoy this for many years.”

“What a priceless pair of twins. As the original owner of a 1970 Triumph Bonneville, I can fully appreciate this small, but wonderful example of Triumph history. My 1970 Bonneville was still in the wooden shopping crate when I picked it.ip at the shipping dock. It was sent to me unassembled and unpreped for retail delivery. My dealer was so busy with sales and deliveries in 1970, he did not have time or staff to open the crate, assemble and prep my bike and fabricrate a new shipping crate. I…”

“I have an old family friend (89 years young) that I showed these pictures to that has been a wood carver all his life and has made some exquisite pieces of animals, custom stair cases, door frames and such using a chain saw and wood chisels and a lot of sanding. He was really impressed and spent a half hour flicking between the photos and commenting on the details presented here with the biggest smile. On our second pour of Blanton’s I joking asked him if he could do something like this and…”

“I was building a large garage for a customer back in ‘87 or ‘88. I was just finishing up the lighting and up pulls an enclosed transport.
The driver opens the doors and proceeds to offload a brand new GNX and a Turbo TA.
They still sit in that garage to this day.”
