“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. :)”

“As an owner of an exceptional example like this one all I can say is it is about time these cars get their due! There is nothing like them for comfort on the road today. Absolutely one of a kind. Great auction seller!”

“Chris here, the founder of S30.world
I’ve truly enjoyed the auction so far and am humbled by the response from everyone.
I have invested an extraordinary amount of time and resources into the S30 platform and for those who truly understand these cars, the reason is obvious.
When I finally decided to take the 240Z back to the level of when it first left the factory, it became a personal statement and an expression of pure passion for the car. I wanted to create a tribute to the S30…”

Christoffel commented on 1971 Datsun 240Z Series I by S30.world

“I am both really happy and sad at the same time to see this car listed by Fred on BaT. I was the one that originally built it as part of a project series on our old website (VWVortex.com) and it looks like Fred has really done a nice job in preserving and maintaining my old car. Bid with confidence.. and I will look forward to seeing the questions and the auction progress.”

PaulGinAZ commented on 2.1L 16V-Powered 1981 Volkswagen Scirocco S 6-Speed

“I’ve always has a soft spot for first-year designs. Back in the day, car designers were able to accomplish things with their new creations that actually made it into first year production. These unique attributes were often removed or replaced by the bean counters in subsequent model years. The 67 TBird is a good example: compare the front bumper on this car to a 68 or later and you’ll find a beautifully designed full-chrome piece that is replaced by painted metal on other models. The…”

“Why did the manufacturers stop painting cars like this everything is white silver or some gray color and black. I like the nostalgia this color brings back GLWTA”

2002WS6 commented on 1993 Honda Civic Del Sol Si 5-Speed

“This is Gene Winfield and VooDoo Larry quality imo. I like how there is just enough chrome trim left on the beltline, rear valance, and bumpers. With it being nosed, decked, shaved door handles, and the sectioned trunk lid. That and the frenching of the headlights and taillights. Leaves just the right amount of chrome.
The interior is super clean, the center console around the shifter, and the shifter itself reminds me of a mid 70s Camaro or Firebird.
In pic 27 in the Engine bay, you can…”

MikeFiftyNine commented on 283-Powered 1949 Chevrolet Styleline Custom Coupe by Ross Suderno

“I was 7 years old when this body style came out in 81. Was begging my dad at the time to trade in his 80 Cutlass Supreme for the newer body style cause this looked so aerodynamic. 45 years later and this body style still looks very attractive to me. Curious to see what this beauty goes for.”

“We’ve been going to Bonneville for over 25 years. First with the Buell team ( I got into the 130 Club on a Buell). In 2008, I set 2 landspeed records, ECTA Maxton and Speedweek. I got my A liscense in 2009. After a break to concentrate on our motorcycle race team (AFT Flat Track) we returned with a Ford F150 Lightening. We are the current record holder in the A/FMP class at 170+ MPH. This year we are Gold Sponsors of the SCTA-BNI Bonneville season. My intention is to return this legendary Audi…”

“I knew this was a California car as soon as I saw the chrome wheels. In the 90s, my uncle, who was a doctor in Newport Beach, bought this exact same spec. As a kid who was used to being toted around in spartan Volvos, I thought it was the fanciest car I had ever sat in.
FWIW early 1UZ-FEs are non-interference engines so timing belt failure (which is rare) is not necessarily catastrophic.”

“Soooooo happy!!!! I’m literally in a chair at Dr office and being shocked by a scrambler system and it burns like hell but this is making me focus on something awesome!!! Very grateful and excited to bring this girl from CA to FL!”

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

“I am the previous of this car and I knew the engineer that built the car. The builder was a very talented engineer and sadly he passed away. I knew the car and I bought it from his estate. The car is a blast to drive and I will miss it. The only reason I have for selling it is that I am getting old and I still have a bucket list of cars that I would like to own before it is too late. I am sure that the new owner of this car will get a lot of enjoyment out of it.”

“It is a particular pleasure to make comments about this particular alloy engine . disc brake 300SL Roadster. 210 of the total of 1958 300SL Roadsters manufactured between ’57-’63 had the lower weight alloy block engines. These were produced from 3/62 through 2/8/63. The factory built an initial run of 229 numbered alloy block engines, all in 1962, 19 of which were “spares” I owned a number of this variety of 300SL RO’s including this one from ’89-’98. As I recall it was completed in the…”

“My wife & I got married in July 1978. We packed her little red Chevette to the hilt with all of our wedding gifts and drove from Chicago to Houston with only gas stops along the way. Took us 24 hours! After a few years the drivers floor pan rusted through. A sheet of 3/8 plywood cut to size fixed that. It was no longer the Fred Flintstone mobile! Also had a problem with the horn button. Every time we would turn the wheel to take a corner the horn would honk. NO PROBLEM! We would wave at…”
