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

    “The 330 GTC has always been a favorite of mine. And the 512BB. When I was first working out of college in the early ’80’s my wife and I honeymooned in San Francisco and I dragged her to Ferrari Los Gatos, and there on the floor were my two dream cars, a 330 GTC sitting next to a 512BB. I remember them being in the $25 – $35K range? And thinking, I’ll be able to afford one of those. Unfortunately life intervened and prices for these cars increased but I was finally able to realize a dream…”

    “I own a manual 6 speed ’07 NC. These are just fabulous vehicles. Nothing goes wrong. Certainly one of the finest engines Mazda ever built. Gobs of fun driving top-down and a true value fot the $ spent. New owner will be happy. GLWTA”

    “Thanks to all bidders. I fell in love with the 904 when I first saw one in the 1980’s. I think it the most beautiful care design ever. Thats why I had to have the Beck 904. I started discussing the car with Chuck Beck in early 2020, and pulled the trigger in October of 2020. It was a 3 year build process, and I visited the factory many times during the build. My wife was involved too, and picked out the interior colors. I think it turned out nicely. Thanks for all the positive comments.”

    “The 505 wagon, IMHO, is one of the great longroofs. They endure rugged conditions in Africa without complaint. The 4 cylinder engine is about as indestructible as they get. Cargo capacity is unmatched. Yet the ride is so so comfy. Best seats anywhere. The video shows it off well.”

    “Another one that I helped build at Torslanda in Goteborg. Some had a note under the dash: built in Sweden by a yankee. I was the only American out of supposedly 46 nationalities working there”

    “WOW! I’m exhausted. Congratulations ttscout. I hope it meets all your expectations and then some. Excited to work with you to get the details done.
    Thank you for all the comments, questions, compliments and interest.
    I’ve now been on both sides of a BAT auction. Both are equally exciting, fun and nerve wracking. I need a beer.”

    “Lauterbach hulls are indeed special as is the family. Thanks for the heads up about the book and reunion. If there was a way to get to the event it sure would be fun.
    Back in the 1970’s on Seattles Green Lake were some special times. We would sit on the beach with a battery operated B&W 2 inch TV screen watching Indy and at the same time enjoy the boat races. Some hard core racing with Larry Lauterbach and then Tom D’Eath piloting Lauterbach hulls against John Leach’s Buccaneer.…”

    “My great grandmother was one of the first VW owners in Montana. I think she was on her third VW when she purchased one just like this, same color, in 1962-63, from the dealer in Butte. By this time, my great grandfather had stopped driving, so she drove them everywhere. One road trip took them west to Seattle, down through San Francisco and finally to Phoenix before heading back home via the Grand Canyon and other sights. Quite an adventure–but just one of many–for two old fuddies in a…”

    “I bought my 1st 300SL roadster in 1987, and sold my last one in 2018. I have loved the model since I was a 1st grader in 1957. I found the 300SL to be remarkably bulletproof when sorted by an excellent mechanic. I 1st met Scott Grundfor in 1989. Because I lived on the East Coast, most work on my 300SL’s was done by Paul Russell, in Massachusetts. My ownership experience was greatly enhanced by my membership in the Gull Wing Group, founded in 1961, and dedicated to the preservation, and…”

    “Nine-liter Viper power with a six-speed manual and a transfer case? Look out SRT Trackhawk! As a kid I was intrigued by Bill Harrah’s daily driver Jerrari, the Wagoneer with a Columbo V12, but this has more than twice the HP! Amazing, GLWTA!”

    “Just shy of 50 years old, and the design is still stunning. And mechanically, an easy car to maintain and a fun car to drive, especially in this original configuration. One of the landmark Ferraris that will always turn heads wherever you drive it. GLWTA.”

    “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…”

    “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.”

    “I’ve seen these cars in person when they were new at Straman’s over next to the Orange County Airport. The workmanship is superb. No one believes me when I say that there was a convertible CRX.
    More importantly than that, no one believes there was EVER a teddy bear wheel made for any car – and I’ve told stories about them on a Volkswagen Cabriolet I once had. I have only ever seen ONE at a tire dealer. Never a complete set.
    This car embodies every story I’ve ever told about cars made of…”

    “The CKD cars assembled in Belgium were for tax purposes. The cars were shipped “body in white” with the drivetrain out of the car and no interior trim installed. Final assembly and paint were done in Belgium and avoided import taxes somewhere around 30%.
    While no production records from Belgium have survived, the TR Registry has obtained shipping manifests that lists vin numbers and engine serial numbers along with the dates they went. As the cars were shipped to Belgium in small…”
