“The Superleggera V4 was capped at 500 units worldwide for 2020 and remains the first street-legal motorcycle with a carbon fiber frame, subframe, swingarm and wheels as standard — Ducati had to get specific homologation approval for the structural carbon!!!!! What a Bike!!!!”

HALMO_USA commented on 16-Mile 2020 Ducati Panigale V4 Superleggera

“So they built 50 of these, and now three have been offered on BaT. That says a lot about the stature that @BaT has achieved in the collector car world.”

“Buy it, drive it, join us a few times a year to stare at each others cars and meet great people. Cool community for a car that is surprisingly easy to drive. My first road trip was Tail of the Dragon in January ‘24 my 16 yr old at the wheel…memories forever”

“I would argue the GMT800 is one of the best platforms GM has ever made. You just can’t kill them.”

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

“I’m the previous owner that purchased this off of BAT earlier this year. I’ve owned a lot of cars and this car is one of the best. It will not disappoint! The only reason it left my collection is because I traded several vehicles to Parin on a larger purchase. I loved the car bc it reminded me of the older Ferraris and Lamborghinis without the mechanical headache and all the creature comforts of a modern car. Nothing to pick on this one. It’s ready to drive and enjoy at a fraction of the…”

“This is sooo killer. Over 500hp in 95?!?!?! Epic, simply epic. This is a prized acquisition…just wow.”

“@MikeDrew what a truly wonderful comment and such a joy to read your first hand memories from the De Tomaso factory. Thank you for sharing this with all of us, it adds so much depth to the story of the Guarà.
You are absolutely right, this is the BMW powered version with the additional gear setup to align engine and gearbox. Early cars had the straight-cut gears and the later cars the helical gears, this Guarà Spyder fitted with the latter as you can softly hear in the driving video.…”

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

“These were never intended to remain stock, much like the ’66 427 Fairlanes coming without a Trac-Lok rear diff. These were intended to have headers and a bigger Holley mounted by the owner to let the big fella breathe, and once you do that, there’s no comparison between a BOSS ‘9 and any Cobra Jet 428 or 429, even with the same mods done to them.”

“I owned one of these (85, Black with a manual) back when they were relatively new and I absolutely loved the car.
The car was so much fun to drive and was totally at home on the highway.
Being a young guy living in Seattle during the 80’s and really into the music scene (which was on fire back then) friends and I frequently traveled up and down I-5 checking out the music in different cities and we always took the Merk.
I remember one time leaving Seattle late at night heading towards…”

LakeJohnCanoe commented on No Reserve: 1971 Datsun 240Z Series I 4-Speed

“I have had many 105 series cars: GTV’s, Scalino’s, Giulia’s, a Spider and many Berlina’s. Years ago the Berlina’s, due to low value, served as donors for the 2L engine and limited slip diff. The styling is not a dramatic as the other 105 series cars, however driving them they hold as the best of the range! I love the 2L dash and driving at night…as the lighting in the dash is activated by a separate button…which makes the beautiful white dails light up! It’s a spacious comfortable fast…”

“Hopefully the new owner can get in touch with Bobby and get a picture alongside the car, It would be worth the drive or plane ticket! This is a once in a lifetime auction.”

“Nobody paid much attention when the old Dodge arrived.
A 1970 Dodge Polara Police Pursuit sedan painted in authentic black and white with a 440 Magnum under the hood wasn’t exactly subtle. Long, square-jawed, and purposeful, it looked ready to issue citations despite having been retired for decades. Still, at Fort Stockton’s annual Classic Car Roundup, it found itself parked between a candy-apple red Corvette and a turquoise Thunderbird convertible. Compared to chrome and tailfins, an old…”

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

“Wish Ford still made trucks like this one. No cam phasers no direct injection no automatic fuel management system. Just a plain nothing fancy naturally aspirated engine. I sure I am not alone with my thoughts but GLWTA.”

“In the world of VW owners who loved their sporty cars in the 1980s there will always be Golf/GTI owners and Scirocco owners. I was very proudly the latter.
I am a 3x Scirocco loyalist and owned a 1977, a 1982, and lastly a 1988 16v. To me the Scirocco stood apart from the rest of the VW lineup and the styling was a huge draw to it. I made so many lifelong memories in those cars, most notably my 16v as I had it in college and even met my wife-to-be while I owned it.
I’m pretty sure I…”

“These Z71’s were tanks! Had a white 2003 (ironically bought it from original owner in Scarsdale as well!!). It was unfortunately totaled when my wife got into a bad accident with it the day after Xmas 2020. Rolled 3 times, but that roof rack saved her as it remained fairly intact.”
