    “Former owner of this car, here. This was one of the best running and funnest driving 911’s I have ever owned. The E model has smaller numbers, but probably is the best driving street machine out of all the early cars. 1972 model to boot! For a little background, this car was purchased brand new by an airline 747 captain living in Tiburon, CA. Years later I find myself working for that same airline. A few years back I was flying with a guy on a multi day trip. We were shooting the breeze while…”

  • A Look at yesterday’s comments of note

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

    “The original owner of this car was a friend of mine and I can vouch that this car is everything it is claimed to be. John was a lifetime “collector” and over the years he bought a number of brand new vehicles, drove them home from the dealer, and never drove them again. For him, it was all about “having”. When he was a youngster in the 70’s and 80’s, he was well known in Studebaker circles for his cross-country road trips in his fleet Studebaker Diesel trucks.
    One very minor correction..…”

    “In a world of SUVs and crossovers it is refreshing to see a wagon. Especially one with a manual transmission. GLWTA!”

    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…”

    “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…”

    “Just a big thank you to the entire BAT community for making my first sale such a pleasant experience. If the winner of this auction enjoys owning this car half as much as I did building it and showing it off, then there be 2 very happy guys-the seller and the buyer. Thanks again.”

    “Just a quick note from many years of experience with the various GTO continuation cars from Terry Hoyle and Rod Jolley.
    Absolutely no one executed better examples ever. They were freakishly correct even down to the most minor details.
    At various times, I had access to both original Series One, 250GTOs and 64 GTOs as well as having a Terry Hoyle copy in the showroom. They were indistinguishable from each other and would fool even the best experts if they did not see the chassis…”

    “Been on BAT for over 11 years, Been going to Pebble Beach for over 34 years, This is hands down the very best presentation of any car I have ever seen here… If you haven’t watched the video about its history. Its a must. BRAVO to @CharvetClassics… And Best of Luck with the sale, This is an absolutely exquisite piece of American History…”

    “In the spring of 1969, I was at Stark Hickey Ford, 7 Mile and Grand River in Detroit getting my 1969 Mach 1 serviced. At the same time, a new Boss 9 was rolling off the car hauler and into the service bay isle. Black Jade. Everything stopped for a few minutes as every Tech in the dealership came over to check out that magnificent vehicle. Good times.”

    “As a restorer of over 100 vintage trailers I can comment on the lack of a bathroom. As I understand it, many states banned full bathrooms in trailers until 1953. That was due to fears that people would just let them dump to the ground in parks, so the intention was to have them use bath houses at the campground or park. If they did have a toilet, they didn’t have holding tanks, they had to be hooked to a sewer system… mostly designed as park models that were semi-permanently set. Toilets…”

    “This Dino 246 GTS, in Argento Auteuil Metallizzato (!) over Beige, should be all the rage, for she is a bloody beauty. A thoroughly exquisite example. GLWTA!”
