    “Anecdotally, I was told by the head of Porsche Museum (at the time) Dieter Labdsburger, that they took the Abarth to the wind tunnel and a standard 356, and found out that the Abarth, that they paid a lot of money for for further development in aerodynamics, was less aerodynamic than the stock version! I think this example is simply beautiful, tastefully done, and without the aerodynamic drag of the car it was trying to emulate…. but retaining the lovely engine lid. I will be watching….…”

    “When I was a new pilot in a Navy Fighter Squadron, one of my favorite “older” Squadron mates used to have get togethers at his house. He had a bar in his kitchen /living room and at the end was his lucky ejection seat that he had used when he was an F-8 pilot. He had the seat built in and only HE was allowed to ever sit in that “lucky” seat! Good memories.”

    “I’ve owned two of these. My first was a brand new fawn beige 283 4bbl that I drove 60,000 miles in three years. I had the dealer add GM seat belts. It was completely trouble free. Mine originally came with the spare tire tucked under the top well. About a year into it Chevrolet had a recall to move it to the right rear quarter panel are as this car shows. People were cutting the rear window and stealing the spare tires. I still have the original window sticker. A beautiful car.”

    “I owned SN 5077 many years ago. The 4-liter engine pulls like a locomotive. There is comfortable seating for 4 adults. I think it is the best of the 2+2 classic Ferraris. You will never regret owning it. – Keith Martin”

    “Cars are not merely tools that transport us from one point to another, but they also act as companions on life’s journey. They’re present during our joyous adventures, supportive during melancholy journeys, and a symbol of triumph in our victories. They reflect our personal stories, embody our dreams, and even color our memories. They are “like rolling diaries,” chronicling the story of our lives through every dent, scratch, and modification.”

    “I’ve learned a lot on this project. Thank you dad, grandpa, uncles, and friends to show me around the toolbox. This project has certainly helped me as a 15T Blackhawk mechanic to pick up aviation terminolgy easier. I wouldn’t have had the start I did without your help. My projects started small LOL, but have gotten bigger over the years. If anyone has any remaining questions, feel free to ask. Happy to see this car go to a good owner, but I’m happy to drive it around to car shows and…”

    “The Lexus LS430 was built at the moment when the pursuit of perfection and the economics of mass production briefly coincided. That window has closed; it may not open again in our lifetime. And so these cars matter—not for what they are worth in dollars, but for what they prove: that it was possible, that once, for six years in a factory in Tahara, Japan, human beings got as close to perfect as human beings have ever got in the building of a motorcar. And then they stopped, and we moved on……”

    “These are probably the most entertaining vintage Honda motorcycle that you will ever ride! FYI I sold my 89 bike here on BAT a few years ago and it was a riot to ride and wind up to 19k rpms repeatedly. I did upgrade the carbs to larger main jets to compensate for the E10 gasoline in CA. I have had two of these bikes and got both titled in CA. The are over 25 years old so are exempt from other restrictions. If the VA title is correctly done, you should be able to just take in to DMV for a new…”

    “Nicely done. As a relatively new GTV owner,
    I can’t say enough about these little gems.
    They just find the road intuitively. Seriously, everyone that loves to drive should have one in their stable. I look forward to taking my little jaunt everyday. Grab the keys tell my wife and dog see you in 1/2 hour and get on my little circuit. Same route, faster and smoother each day until I drive it perfectly.
    I now volunteer trips to the grocery store and dry cleaners! Get more smiles per miles than…”

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

    “For those asking: it will be back close to home. I’m in the Virginia Beach area so about 2 hours from Richmond where the original owner/builder was.
    I joined JUST to bid on this car. It’s been my favorite build of all time since I saw it 10+ years ago. Once I saw it was for sale I knew I had to take a shot at it.
    So unbelievably happy that I won!”
