    “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!”

    “What a neat rig with an incredible pedigree! And you won’t need to bring a trailer because it’s too precious. Just drive it home and enjoy it.
    I don’t have a lot to add on top of what others have said about Harold Allen except to say that many years ago I came into a collection of his Stroppe-related photos from Ford Motor Company and I’m forever grateful for those.
    I think this is the only Bronco I know of that was owned by one of Ford’s off road racing stars that has come to market in…”

    “The BMW 3.0 CSL is a 1970s icon. It has no equal. It’s the car upon which BMW has built its image and reputation since 1972”

    A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

    “We have been overwhelmed by the positive reaction and comments on the Black Shadow and our shop. I wish I could say it was all me but it is not. Jack Wilson told me ” you can’t do it all by yourself” . This maybe the best advice he ever gave me because I have two dedicated and talented mechanics that combined have been here 40 plus years. I also have several longtime sub contractors and suppliers that are reliable and understand our commitment to the motorcycles we work on.
    Contact us for any…”

    “This looks like a great, honest Porsche 911T Coupe 5-speed. Yes, all U.S.-delivered cars came with MFI, while ROW models had carburetors.
    This example appears to be a very untouched, original car with all the right period-correct parts, and a rare specification, leather interior, and factory A/C. It has a really nice patina, and a 1972 T in this kind of condition is becoming increasingly rare. These make fantastic driver’s cars.
    When the time comes to rebuild the engine, it’s a great…”

    “Good memories on this BAT auction. We had a 2005 Freestar SES that we drove from 2005 to 2019. Had 250,000 miles. Took my son to 1st day of kindergarten and also helped him move into college his freshman year. 3 trips to Disneyworld, trips to Toronto, NYC, Pittsburgh, several to Indiana etc. Was a great riding van, large gas tank, decent milage. Made it from Disney to south of Raleigh on 1 tank. Our SES was the “sport ” version, this is the top of the line. We had some electrical issues…”

    “The 8.1/Allison combo makes these trucks virtually bulletproof. Sure, they sip more fuel than their diesel sisters, but the buy in price and cheapness of maintenance and repairs make it much less of an issue. I sold mine 5 years ago and have regretted it ever since. It towed a 12k 5er all over the west, no problem. Uggh!”

    “What a great story, thanks for sharing…
    Also great to see these old cars getting used, dirty and maybe a rock-chip memory or two…
    That Gulf Livery 911 was spotted by me on Fathers Day coming down from Pinecrest last year.
    It was my first time taking my daughter on an annual camping trip my wifes family has been doing for years. Wife doesn’t like camping so after years of declining the invite, I decided my daughter was old enough to give ‘glamping’ a shot as an entry into another…”

    “Back when BMW Car Club of America was still young and Hoffman Motors was the sole U.S. Distributor, it was the club members who offered guidance to BMW owners regarding things to watch out for. One such piece of advice was to avoid purchase of BMWs with two-stage metallic paint due to failure of the clear coat.
    Complaints ranged from dulling, checking to llifting and separation of large clear coat sections on all horizontal surfaces — hood, roof and decklid. After numerous complaints,…”

    CharlesDawson commented on 1,200-Mile 1987 Buick GNX

    “Whoever gets this car is getting a winner. Early 99 builds are the pinnacle of the analog porsche experience. I have a similar cab as a daily driver and it is simply divine. Despite the fact that these are the lower priced Porsches in market, it simply makes it a genius value buy. The best water-cooled setup, analog pulls and cables, and (for my spec) no nannies. ABS ONLY! You cannot go wrong with these year and this build. I’m heavily biased, but I do think this is the ideal Porsche for daily…”

    “Such a time warp, this is so cool, and seeing it on that trailer reminds me of all the old Drag Racing photos i have seen in books, and magazines from back in the day, someone is going the opportunity to get a very cool piece of nostalgia today. I have always loved Dusters, when I was 3 years old, 1973, my parents had an Orange 1971 340 Duster, its the first classic car I remember when I was a kid. I have a picture of me standing next to it somewhere. GLWTA”
