    “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!”

    “Hi:
    I’m Bob Gunthorp. I have a 1959 190b Binz station wagon Binz body number 1540. It is registered as a 1963. I purchased it in 1984. They are a fun car to drive and they attract attention everywhere that you take them. In 2012 I showed the wagon at the Mercedes-Benz Club National StarFest event in Phoenix AZ. The wagon is a “driver” car and not 100 point restoration. To both my surprise and amazement the wagon received the judge’s choice award.
    Bob G.”

    “I had one of these ‘beasts’ back in the 1970s, nowhere as nice as this Mercedes. I terrorized northern Virginia & the D.C. area for several years…..it sounded like a washing-machine full of marbles & smoked like I was spraying for locusts! But that Benz ran for ever, even on kerosene!
    I wound up trading it for a Nikon motor-drive camera. My Mercedes wound up as ‘yard-art’ in Annapolis, Maryland…..but that diesel engine ran for years operating hoist equipment on a ‘waterman’s’…”

    “Stunning car! The 5 speed transaxle fitted to Boras was also used in other cars- the deTomaso Mangusta and Pantera, Ford GT40s, BMW M1s.. perhaps others I’m not aware of. A robust unit of considerable versatility, it is still in production in the USA by RBT Inc. The ZF 5DS-25 (its actual name) has been through several revisions, including adding a sixth speed, I think. Its only vice is that it’s hard to obtain and when you can, it costs STACKS of money.”

    “I have the sister car, an Autech Zagato Stelvio AZ1 which has identical interior and underpinnings. In addition to the rarity and handbuilt Zagato heritage, these cars are amazing drivers. They’re quick and super comfortable for road trips. My daughter and her husband did a 2200 mile round trip with our car in a weekend to the Amelia Island Concours last year where the car won a class award. To make things even better for this car, it comes out of one the country’s great collections. I…”

    “Around the time this was new, I was working on a Spielberg film in Northern California. Part of his deal was to have a Pole Position arcade game provided in a dedicated office at the studio – it was just down the hall from my editing room. I figured out his schedule – while it was around, I came in early before him – and got very good at the free play!”

    “Many can own this. Very few can restore this. Some can ride this. It’s a commitment at all levels and entirely worth it. Legendary bike.”

    Longer and wider than an Escalade, the Celestiq is the pinnacle of American craftsmanship and luxury.”

    “This is amazing and as others have said should at least anchor a Fox collection. I especially appreciate @CoastsideCat ‘s comment noting that 131HP in 1979 was actually a big deal. We’ve become completely spoiled by the evolving technology that now gives us 1,000HP with clean emissions, albeit typically in 4,500lb behemoths.
    I nearly became a new Ford follower rather than jumping on the FWD Mopar developments at the time. The Fox chassis intrigued me as it solved the troublesome loading…”

    “Call me crazy, but I prefer this over the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. You simply can’t use the Bugatti nor remotely explore the limits. This Prelude you can drive at 10/10 and have a blast. Driving a slow car fast is more appealing and easily doable during everyday driving.”

    “1988 I’d be taking this home. Mine was blue and white. Like the man said earlier. It would make novice look good. 66 years old still a novice lol. Roll on wheelies, check. Slam second you better be hanging on and sitting foward. The only race I ever lost was to a Ferrari. Smoked him off the line. 120 I looked in the mirror. Too late, just then he blew by me like I was standing still. At 150 came around the next bend. He was just a red speck. Going around the next turn. Ah to be young. Slowly…”
