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

    “Thank you all for your interest in my dad’s GTV.
    That car holds a lifetime of memories for me. I still remember riding home in the passenger seat at age six as my dad brought it back from Larchmont, NY — and him telling me to stop playing with all the buttons and knobs. Years later, I turned over the odometer somewhere on 395 South in Connecticut, driving it to impress the woman who would become my wife. And most recently, during the COVID years, Dad and I brought it to Giovanni and Kathy…”

    “When I was a kid my Dad heard on the radio a promotion by Pitcairn Honda in Langhorn PA. It said, “come test drive the new Honda and register to win an ounce of Gold.” They must have changed their mind or it was a mistake, as the ad only ran once to my knowledge. So my Dad and I headed up to the dealer which was only 15 min away. I don’t think I actually got to ride in the car because it was to small. Then my Dad said he wanted to register for the gold. It was closing time and everyone in…”

    “When it’s cold, I like to go down in the basement, and sit in the Factory 5 Roadster, that my Dad and I built. He’s been gone 6 years now, and I still think about him, every single day.
    Listening to the driving video, I can close my eyes, and see Dad, driving his car, that we built, smiling from ear to ear.
    Thanks for listing this gorgeous car, @Stables_Group . It is gorgeous and sounds incredibly good.”

    “You could hear the Buick before you saw it—low, steady rumble like a baritone singer with a cold. Then it rolled into Fort Stockton, slow and wide as a cattle drive, with more faux wood than a church fellowship hall on potluck night.
    A green 1979 Buick Estate Wagon, fresh from a long haul.
    Kids at the Dairy Twin pointed and whispered. Men outside the Rusty Hammer squinted, hands on their hips, like cowboys sizing up a stranger’s horse. Rusty himself muttered, “That ain’t a car,…”

    “Thanks everyone, and especially Dean! This is my first vintage Mercedes and I’m looking forward to bringing it home! The original selling dealership no longer exists, but I’m still planning to drive it there anyway for this new chapter of stewardship.”

    “So publicly… …not 930…
    …and not 930 Turbo…
    not even 911 turbo!
    or even 930 Turbo!
    …or even 911 Turbo or Turbo Carrera or Turbo 3.0!
    …just…
    “turbo””

    Symbolic_International commented on 1975 Porsche 930 Turbo

    “@CForrest 1975 MY 930 was RoW and were badged simply “Turbo”. The “Turbo Carrera” badging was for US version cars starting in 1976 MY.
    Anyone seriously considering a 930 of this vintage should refer to Ryan Snodgrass’s award winning book Turbo 3.0, it is the reference standard for these cars. If you don’t own a copy, buy it. GLWTA!”

    “Wow! This has been a dream for years. I grew up riding in the back of a 1971 FJ40 with top off camping throughout Nevada with my family. Can’t wait to show my Dad, but probably won’t tell him what I paid for it!”

    mrliquidity commented on Supercharged 6.2L LT5-Powered 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

    “I’ve seen this beauty in person, and let me tell you—it’s been meticulously maintained and absolutely babied. The owner has taken incredible care of it, keeping it spotless inside and out. Everything runs smoothly, looks sharp, and feels road-ready without a worry. If you’re looking for a motorhome that’s been treated with pride and attention to detail, this one is a rare find. You won’t just be buying a rig—you’ll be getting peace of mind knowing it’s been loved and cared for…”

    “What a lovely, and well driven example! Tasteful mods, and miles and miles of future enjoyment for the next lucky owner. I’ve owned my 97 C4S for 15 years, she just rolled 135k, up from 63k at acquisition. These cars are just such an experience, just so immensely satisfying to drive…and to own.
    Good luck to the seller, and fair notice to potential bidders….well sorted, long term owner, well “driven” 993’s are more scarce by the year. This car will continue to turn heads, and…”

    “Hello BaT universe! I am the owner, craftsman, artist of this X-34 Landspeeder tribute vehicle. Since I couldn’t acquire the real one from that galaxy far, far away, (the import/transport fees would have been “astronomical”) I decided to build one to commemorate the upcoming 50th earthly anniversary of this iconic movie vehicle. I am looking forward to all the comments, questions, and bids.”

    “When I scroll BaT, I’ve always held out hope I’d come across two cars: my dad’s ‘66 E Type, and this car. I sold this car to the current seller. Bought when I was 14, restored it, drove it through high school and into young married life. Sold it when I was broke with a growing family to support. Broke my heart to sell it, but clearly I sold to the right individual. Car looks absolutely amazing. I’ll start the bidding with the last sale price…”

    “Harold is a Stroppe and Ford icon still with us today, he admits he is older and as for all of us, his memory is fading.
    Rod unfortunately is no longer with us but there is a lot more info on his legendary existence.
    with that being said, i invite anyone who knew or knew of Harold Allen and or his talents to share any stats and stories with us and the same with Rod?
    i am sure @BajaBronco / Andrew and @Todd_Z. and @House along with a handful of others will have some important history and…”

    “One of my long-time car friends is a national champion level modeler. When my wife and I married his wedding gift to us was a custom-built diorama of a C-Type Jaguar at le Mans. Remains my second favorite gift from the wedding (my wife’s unending love is the most favorite).
    There have been far too many years passed since I build a car or airplane model. I have quite a few unbuilt kits on the shelf, I need to either get building or move them along.”

    “I almost bought one of these in silver blue 45+ years ago but my dog could not stand up in the back so I bought a used Audi Fox wagon (think VW Dasher) instead.
    I’m excited to have this opportunity to own one now. I was impressed with the Sellers response and candid video talk. I’m unsure if I’ll meet the Seller but I want to thank you.

    “Like others, hopefully you will take this to the Historics and let it eat! I spectate and enjoy getting to see the first car I ever drove on a road course – the #78 Boss 302 Matthews car that you would be running with if you go. The guy that restored it barely knew me and still let me run it in the Cobra Club novice group around 35 years ago now that I think about it! Changed my life – drag raced one more time after that before putting fat tires all around on my 70 Fastback 🙂 Guy that has…”
