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

    “Welcome to my first BaT listing! You might be surprised to see it’s a Dart, not a Valiant, but I have a thing for all A-body Mopars. I’m listing this cool Dart for a friend as I suggested putting it on BaT and he is not as familiar with the way it goes.
    I’ve known the car for some years and from the first time I saw it have been admiring the details and workmanship. The owner/builder is a talented fabricator, machinist and welder. Anyone who has seen my comments here probably realizes I…”

    “Before today I didn’t even know that I wanted a 1962 Buick Special station wagon! Strange…”

    “The childhood memories are strong with this one! GM Design did an excellent job of evolving the colonnade coupes for Buick and Oldsmobile toward the sheer look that began with the ’75 Seville. The Cutlass was the best selling car in the USA in 1976 with nearly 500K units produced. A neighbor had one in this color with bucket seats and I was thrilled to get a ride now and then. This interior is bonkers peak ’70s — I thought the “geometric weave” loose pillow luxe upholstery was only available…”

    “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…”

    “At the final bid, you could have bought 31,858 sets of WeatherTech mats! Personally I think the Chiron is a better use of space. Congrats!”

    “This is why people started following BAT, not for dealers flipping 2004 Ford Rangers with new paint. I have never heard of this thing, very unique, just don’t want to be behind it on a hill.”

    “Stories like this , of lives well lived and machines that are along for the ride , are what bring us back to @bat time and time again.
    Thanks for bringing this here and sharing Susan’s story. Just fantastic!”

    “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,…”

    “What a beast. 12k miles on a S7 is impressive. Most have far fewer.
    The dollars spent to miles driven ratio must be wild.”

    Button commented on One-Owner 2004 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo

    “Transmission is an M6 presto-matic WITH fluid drive. 2 gears in low range and 2 gears in high range. Rumor is it 2 gears in reverse but I have never attempted it in my 50 Chrysler equipped with the same trans. Fluid drive is the coupler between the trans and engine which works as an early torque converter basically allowing to come to a stop without taking out gear. Most people start in high range (Where 3rd is like a 3 on the tree) and at 12-18 MPH you just lift your foot off the gas and wait…”

    “A 2016 Ford Taurus SHO with just a 93-octane tune (often referred to as a “tune-only” car) typically gains about 75–100+ horsepower over stock, bringing it close to 450–500 horsepower at the crank. In the 1/4 mile, a tuned SHO, even without bolt-on parts, is capable of running times in the low 12-second range, often around 12.3 to 12.6 seconds.”

    “”…the prototype was advertised for sale in Road & Track magazine…”
    Ah, yes, the Classified section of Road & Track! I whiled away much time in my youth perusing Dad’s years of R&T back issues, dreaming of one day being grown up and being able to buy one of the cars. Today, the story is the same, just perusing Bring a Trailer instead.
    Beautiful car, and best of luck with your auction, @easyole!”

    “My dad had a new one in 1960. People don’t realize how far ahead of American cars this big Jag was.. it handled and handled it extremely well. Actually great fun to drive fast in addition to the luxury, comfort and opulence that the car presents.”

    “Lovely car! Had a Crown 327/350 while in college in NJ in early 70’s; ran 12.22 at Raceway Park, much faster than most muscle cars. Had Greenbriar 3.89 gears. Yep, finally blew the rear end. Ran smallish rear tires to limit traction. would take a friend out for a drive w/o the back cover in – most not accustomed to red hot headers and the noise a solid lifter V-8 makes. LOL. 50+ years later now drive a R8 – sort of similar but with massaging leather seats!! GLWTA!!”

    I would love to buy this but I don’t have a barn to park it behind.”
