“In 1960 as senior in high school I was a member of the Ecurie Ecosse Association. The team came to Watkins Glen to run in Formula Libre race. Went down to the pits to say hello and got invited to be a “guest pit crew member” for Sunday’s race!! I expected to stand in the corner out of the way! Big surprise I was tasked with carrying the pit signal board from the pits to edge of the track to signal Roy Salvadori driving the team’s Cooper Monaco!! Keep in mind no pesky waivers to sign for a…”

“I remember street racing one of these against my 93 Typhoon. My awd blew it off the line but after about 100 feet or so I was staring at his taillights the rest of the way. These cars are deceptively fast. Beautiful example that will be way out of my budget. GLWTA!”

Typhoontaz commented on 700-Mile 1987 Buick GNX

“Wow! I wish I was 30 years younger. This is a very solid looking start to what would be a great car! It looks like lots and lots of cleaning and derusting lies ahead! I did a ’62 years ago that started out a lot worse than this and ended up stunning. For the adventurous (and young) this could be an awesome project! GLWTA”

Surfdwn commented on No Reserve: 46-Years-Owned 1969 Jaguar E-Type Series II Roadster Project

“I’ve driven one of these —it’s the closest you can get to a Spitfire, if you are afraid of flying. GLWTS!”

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

“The missile appeared at Earl’s Salvage Yard & Formalwear on a Tuesday morning.
At least that was what Hairless B29 called it when he walked into the Grounds for Divorce and announced that Earl had acquired a rocket.
Angus Hopper continued buttering his toast.
“How big?”
“Three feet, maybe.”
Angus looked up. “That ain’t much of a rocket.”
“It’s streamlined.”
This was apparently sufficient evidence to bring Rex Hall into the investigation. By nine…”

“Cannot beat classic guards red on a Gbody. Timeless.”

Envypete commented on 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe G50

“The Story Here…
As an automotive magazine publisher, editor and motor journalist in the ’80s and ’90s, I was privileged to attend many unique and amazing press functions and receive highly-specialized literature regarding the cars being launched. From the Highlands of Scotland to the South of France. From the US Continental Divide to the jungles and rain forests of Guatemala and Belize. From small back mews of the English Midlands to palatial manor houses in London. What a time it…”

Dvredc5 commented on Modified 2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 Coupe 6-Speed

“Woah! Serendipitous… just saw my first Sonett on the road two weeks ago, after a two + decade hiatus from my own eyes. Sure, I’ve seen them at car shows, but in motion? Running errands? Not in forever… such a cool cat rolling down the road. Makes me wish that all cars were of this scale, instead of bloated monstrosities.”

notforhire commented on 1972 Saab Sonett III

“Had this exact car, one of my favorite cars of all time. Nothing like a big sedan that runs like a hot rod. And these cars do. Not sure how they gear them or what is done to them. But this car is an amazing performance vehicle. I have a s65 now. But I actually liked the 63 more. Especially for just driving pleasure”

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

“Man, already at $4M before I could get my comment in….
I want to thank the team at BaT for bringing us so far. It is amazing to cross the quarter million auctions milestone together.
And a big thank you to the @1600veloce team for helping us mark the occasion with this beautiful 288. Anthony gets so much well-deserved credit, but it takes the whole team there to do the amazing things they do.
And maybe my favorite part of BaT is that Lot #250,001, right behind this one, is a…”

bringatrailer commented on Lot #250,000: 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO

“I want to send a big congrats to the team @BaT for 250,000 listings! Kudos again to the team behind the scenes!
Our team was so proud to be a part of this journey.
@bringatrailer Randy I want to thank you for all the support and the fun ideas we have bounced off each other all these years. This listing like any listing, can be a bumper for an MG to a Halo Ferrari. It all belongs here. The best site, the best community.
We discussed what type of car we would want to list. Well here…”

1600veloce commented on Lot #250,000: 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO

“These cars were so ahead of their time. Supercharged, intercooled, 4 wheel discs with ABS, IRS with adaptive damping, even pneumatic adjustable side bolsters. I still have my 35th anniversary 5 speed version, and it remains a pleasure to drive unlike most crude live axle domestics of the era.”
