Much respect for this loyal highway warrior.”
“This is THE spec. BRG suits this car so well and the red calipers take it to the next level. Beautiful.”

“I went through the police academy in one of these back in 1997. No Crown Vic could out run or out maneuver this car when we played cops and robbers on the obstacle course. It was hands down a superior car in terms of handling and horsepower. Every time I see one I’m taken back to the driving portion of the academy. Fond memories.”

“Love that area of Wisconsin. Two of my three nephews live in Madison now – gorgeous city. We visited often when I was a kid and Pop was into camping with the Starcraft. Made many a stop at Wisconsin Dells and remember it just as you describe! Sincere condolences on the passing of your mother (and untimely/early passage of your father). It reminded me this morning to cherish whatever time I have left with the Beehive. Have a blast with the Honda – another wonderful memory machine for me – and…”

“On my dog walks about once every two weeks, only on sunny days, a 442 that looks to be identical to this car drives by me. I’ve yet to be able to check out the car up close. The sound of that car is amazing. The look of that car is amazing. snap my neck following it as it goes by. Probably one of the best looking cars in my town, and there are plenty of nice cars. These cars wear yellow really well. The tasteful black stripe accents are icing on the cake. Necking snappingly beautiful. Like…”

“The duck walks into a bar by himself and sits down on a stool.
The bartender none-too-happy walks over and stares at the duck.
The duck stares back… both glare at each other for a few moments.
No words are spoken until finally the duck speaks up and says.
Sunday’s the famers day off…”

“Ditto to that! Awesome look. Have a 93 myself and live in Austin.
Pearl Black 199 with gray interior and 120,000 miles. Have had sine 101,000 miles and about 3 years. Awesome ride.
What is the history of the car pre 2009?
How about service records?
Where was it serviced in Austin? Ben’s?
I’ll be out of town on a e500 road trip from Austin to Midwest to northeast and southeast then back early August.
This car was made for the road!
Even getting 20 mph!
Looking forward to seeing where…”

“Got my drivers license when my dad bought one of these in 1963 used. I never got a ticket or bent it, but saw the speedo tick 130 on the Medford viaduct one Sunday morning early, lifters clattering away when I reached the end! Fun car in the day!”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“Ah, the memories. Throwing those doors open to exit on a timed response only to have them not latch and come back on your hand, head, legs. Failing to latch the turret and spinning around on corners… enough to make you nauseous. Or backing in to the ATF with the M-60 not latched in the neutral position and bending the barrel (this actually happened). Maybe catching your boot on the door opening ledge and face planting. No one who rode in one doesn’t have an opinion on them.”

Statueman commented on Cadillac Gage Ranger Armored Personnel Carrier
“I own one of these (long story), so I know they are something of a novelty rather than a serious sports car.
That said, they are such iconically cool cars. The grey/white background with the stainless foreground is just chef’s kiss photography. Calendar worthy shots aplenty in this gallery.
Best of luck with the sale! In keeping with the unspoken rules of quoting BTTF on all of these auctions, I’ll just paraphrase Doc Brown. “When this auction gets underway, you’re going to see some…”

“I live in Great Falls and recognized the lead photo. The fellow that accumulated these had a beautiful collection of fully restored cars. He owned several bars in town and had a gorgeous 50’s Corvette in one of them, Classic 50’s Diner. I am guessing these are either donors or projects he ran out of time for. One’s demise will do that to you.”

“In a sea of drab, soulless shape. Parking lots full of white, beige and Grey. Wouldn’t you like to stand out. That is exactly what you will get with this all new for 1957 Plymouth. 3 full years ahead of the competition. Just look at that styling. Gaze upon the majesty of color. Delight in the lines that none can imitate. You get more car, for less money.
Plymouth for 1957. Get yours today.”

“Why would someone build this?
You can also ask yourself:
Why would someone climb Mount Everest?
Why run 26.2 miles
Why enter a steel cage and fight hand to hand until you quit or get knocked out?
Why would you want to be “The strongest man in the world”?
There are so many things in life that will never make sense to a lot of us, and to most of us this build makes no sense. I guarantee that to some this is the ultimate piece of industrial art.
Ownership puts you in a class of…”

“New for me as well! “Scorpio” caught my eye – I had an ’89 Merkur Scorpio from new for several years and really liked it. But it had a V6 which I think was also used in the Bronco. In an amazing coincidence, a co-worked had a Merkur XR4Ti, so we had the rare parking lot that had two Merkurs in it. GLWTA”

“Wow… just wow.
It has always been my dream to own a Clive Cussler owned vehicle. As Mr. Cussler created my all-time fictional hero, in Dirk Pitt.
To this day, part of my automotive bucket list if I ever had lottery money, is a Cussler musuem collection vehicle. Right after a MB 540K and a Duesenberg SC cabriolet.
As a child growing up, I was a rabid James Bond fan, and had started scuba diving at 12, and become a member of the Cousteau Society the same year.

“Still my favorite of the Cobra-R models. I know the 2000 seems to be everyone’s top pick, but I like the trimmer lines of the first generation SN95 and the ease of the 351W. I guess this one has such low miles it would be a shame to drive it much, but I would drive it regardless.”

“A fellow named Irv Gordon had a ‘66 Volvo P1800S and drove it for 50 years till his death in 2018 at which time he had clocked a little over 3,200,000 miles and is the Guinness world record holder. Goes to show that there are some things you just never get tired of. :)”
