    “There is a better chance of seeing Bigfoot riding a unicorn down your street than encountering a three-pedal Toyota Solara.”

    DatsunZGuy commented on No Reserve: 1999 Toyota Camry Solara SE V6 5-Speed

    “My introduction to the GS was reading about the GS club in either Car Craft or Hotrod Magazine in the 80’s. I joined the club in 1989 not owning a GS but interested. I bought a Flint built 69 GS 350 project on e-bay sometime in the mid 2000’s. Didn’t take long to be overwhelmed and realize I’d made a terrible mistake. Finally joined the Buick owning community in 2012 when I bought my uncles ’86 Grand National. A couple of years ago I bought John Chamberlain’s 74 GS Stage 1 to replicate my first…”

    RedTruck1100 commented on No Reserve: Ex–CHP Police Car 1963 Dodge 880 Sedan 413 Project

    “These California Highway Patrol Mopars were special cars. There were over 50 modifications Chrysler let CHP order on each of these cars that wasn’t available to the public. Things like presetting the torsion bars higher to compensate for the push bars on the front and the 413 wasn’t available on a civilian 880. These old Mopar squad cars are underrated and the best driving cars they made.”

    “Very excited for my first win on BAT. Tried to get several of these over the last year so this is awesome!”

    “Woah! Serendipitous… just saw my first Sonett on the road two weeks ago, after a two + decade hiatus from my own eyes. Sure, I’ve seen them at car shows, but in motion? Running errands? Not in forever… such a cool cat rolling down the road. Makes me wish that all cars were of this scale, instead of bloated monstrosities.”

    notforhire commented on 1972 Saab Sonett III

    “Had this exact car, one of my favorite cars of all time. Nothing like a big sedan that runs like a hot rod. And these cars do. Not sure how they gear them or what is done to them. But this car is an amazing performance vehicle. I have a s65 now. But I actually liked the 63 more. Especially for just driving pleasure”

    “The 991 GT3T reigns supreme. Many folks say the 992 is superior. When you sit in a 992 you stare into the soulless abyss of darkened computer screens.
    I don’t care how good a 911 is if it makes me feel like I’m at work staring at a computer screen!”

    “I figured it was about time I got a GS – having grown up with DS’s starting in 1962 when my late father, the first industrial hygienist in the US, brought home, a 58 DS 19 – the early series which was as complicated as they could get. Funny thing was it was a trade-in at a Studebaker dealers shop in Salt Lake City Utah, the middle of nowhere back then. but dad, although a chemist, had a hankering for mechanical stuff and built large gasoline powered model airplanes when he was a kid.
    Even…”

    “I will say this with great confidence. This coach is a unicorn. I can’t predict outcomes but I know from thousands of miles on the rv highway that this rig is the real deal. The new owners will have both a show piece and an amazing coach. In the rv world these coaches in well preserved form are showstoppers.”

    jsdbike commented on No Reserve: 1970 GM PD4108 “Buffalo Bus” RV Conversion

    “Great to see such an excellent example of the car that reset the standard of what to expect from a small car. Not enough people understand how the Accord raised the bar for attractive design and basic equipment. The rustproofing material is most typical of any car sold in western Pennsylvania, where salt use and rust were commonplace… probably instrumental in keeping this car on the road and on your screen today.

    “I was a salesman at the Dodge dealership one block from Ferris motors 1968-1974. Our dealership was NOT a high-performance dealership like Ferris. In addition to selling the subject car here. Ferris also owned and raced the A990 sister car to Larry Griffith’s car but the Ferris car was an automatic called the torqueflite tornado. Ferris and Griffith often raced togather as a team.Ferris sold a lot of race cars for such a small dealership in the town of 5000 people. Previously he raceda couple…”

    “Drag racing in the south in the 60’s I watched the advent of the lightweights. Lakeland Drag strip in Memphis had among others Herb McCandless aka Mr 4 Speed. I swear he could shift faster than an automatic! ! Car just shuttered when he slammed into gear. As I remember also circa 63 NHRA outlawed aluminum front caps? At the nationals people would tech and then go switch the entire front cap. NHRA got hip and would wait in staging area. With magnet in hand! Truth or consequence time!!”

    “@pa_hillbilly @Goog66 Thanks!! Well fought!
    Quick story…my buddy was on @BAT yesterday, and he happened to see a 1972 Elkhart Green Corvette that looked a lot like the one my father used to own. He clicked on the link, and crazily, this car was located in Mentor, Ohio, not far from where we live. I know my father sold this car back in 2003 to someone local (he owned it since 1975), but I had no idea that it was still in the area. I basically lost track of it. Sure enough, the VIN checked…”

    “Looking through the photos at the hand built beauty of this Cheetah is a reminder of a time when a bunch of guys with a dream could put something like this together.
    Some chrome moly, fiberglass and a bunch of odd parts and down the road you go. Like when my dad and I built a go cart from a Sears catalogue and a Briggs and Stratton lawn mower motor.
    Miss those days.”

    RussR commented on 1966 Bill Thomas Cheetah Coupe

    “In the summer of 1971, my parents took my brother, sister and me across country in a 67 Camaro 327 Sport Coupe towing a U-Haul covered trailer from Los Angeles to New Jersey. We were 13, 11 and 6 years old and it was tight back there, but an adventure. So yeah, people put a hitch on anything with a V8 back in the day. Beautiful car. I can’t help but wonder if someone will go stock, or create a Bullitt clone.”

    “I owned SN 5077 many years ago. The 4-liter engine pulls like a locomotive. There is comfortable seating for 4 adults. I think it is the best of the 2+2 classic Ferraris. You will never regret owning it. – Keith Martin”
