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

    “Jimmy Don Ventura had owned enough unusual automobiles over the years to believe he understood the public. He’d driven a lime-green AMC Gremlin, a Triumph Spitfire that leaked oil with the determination of an East Texas mosquito, and a Plymouth Barracuda that had once stranded him in front of the Dairy Twin during the lunch rush. Every one of them had attracted comments, questions, and unsolicited mechanical advice from complete strangers.
    Then he bought Fred.
    Officially, it was a 1949…”

    “I was talking with a gentleman the other day about the GTS and we ended up swapping stories about some of the cars we’ve owned. One that came up was my 2011 911 Carrera GTS. Really nice example — black, PDK, factory AeroKit — but it was full leather everywhere with zero Alcantara.
    He made a great point that stuck with me. what really defines the GTS driving experience is the Alcantara. It’s one of those subtle things you don’t fully appreciate until you get back into a properly…”

    “Welcome to another craZee auction. This is auction number 33 for me, and is by far the one I am the most excited about! As a Datsun/Nissan specialist here on BaT, I am flattered that my friend Rod is letting me represent this labor of love for him. Between the two of us, we have over 80-years of experience with Datsun Z cars. Buying, selling, modifying, racing, restoring, showing. There is little we have not done to these cars. I encourage you to review the pictures and watch the walk around…”

    “Wow! I watched the walk around video. Brings back memories from the Series 1 I bought new in 1970 just out of college, 08877. I recognized every little detail, like the seatbelt holder clips and engine wire wraps. The only thing missing is the smell of a new car, maybe that’s there too. Incredible. Unfortunately I sold mine a couple years ago on BAT. It has a good home and hopefully will be restored someday. This car should make it close to the all time highs for an auction.”

    “This is cool. During the 1950s and 1960s, my grandmother worked for Helms Bakery in Montebello, CA. When I was young, I toured the plant and saw her working—baking donuts.
    She would bring home the cardboard miniature Helms trucks for me…
    Decades later, for her 90th birthday party, I made it a Helms Bakery–themed event and found an original unfolded cardboard Helms Bakery truck on eBay. I reproduced them so each table had a miniature Helms truck.
    The family went nuts over those…”

    “Absolutely wild that this is an original owner car. I have to imagine that it’s very difficult to part with it after all of this time. Best of luck with the sale, it’s beautiful, and clearly has been loved.”

    “Proud to bring this iconic car to BaT. I purchased it directly from Ken Block around the time he transitioned from Ford to Audi, and during my ownership it’s been carefully maintained and preserved to the same standard as when it left Ken’s hands.
    This isn’t just a build or a replica of an era — this Hoonigan Escort Mk2 Gymkhana car holds a special place in Ken Block and Hoonigan history. It’s the car he owned the longest, and to me it represents the raw, analog side of what made…”

    “I’m 60 now and cannt remember any to events when I was 5 in 1970 but this day I will always remember. , My dad was looking for a slightly used car for the family and I clearly recall the day we went to Beach Brothers Chrysler Dodge Plymouth in Salem, Va to look at a 1969 Coronet 2dr and there I stood staring at the two Superbirds parked beside each in a back row. My dad said they looked ridiculous, I thought they were the coolest cars I’d ever seen. I have loved them ever since. He bought…”
