    “I was building a large garage for a customer back in ‘87 or ‘88. I was just finishing up the lighting and up pulls an enclosed transport.
    The driver opens the doors and proceeds to offload a brand new GNX and a Turbo TA.
    They still sit in that garage to this day.”

    “Corvettes, Testarossas, 911s… no… this is my exotic dream car… and that colour! Looks like an excellent body restoration. And it is in my motherland!”

    “The Dark Toreador Red color on these always looked good. With the matching grill and the dual exhaust set itself apart from it’s Grand Marquis and Crown Vic parents. Matched with a few good options like the trunk organizer and heated seats this is a great example of a car that all of us would buy 10 times over given the chance to go back 20 years and walk into a new car dealership!

    “My favorite auction of the year.
    My very first car was precisely this, but in tan and minus the Cragars. Served me well throughout college and for a cross-country drive to Southern California after college. Raced a Mazda RX-7 across approximately 100 miles of the desert Southwest, with my 10-speed bike strapped to the roof rack. I pulled away from him on the flat stretches and he caught and passed me in the mountain curves. Eventually my 440 needed gas and he didn’t. Good times.
    Several…”

    “Wow !! Brings back wonderful memories as I learned how to drive on my Dad’s ‘60 Bonneville convertible ..He was a “car guy”having several Chrysler letter cars before I talked him into the Bonneville. Our neighbor had a ‘59 Bonneville convertible and he took me for a ride on a warm summer night with the top down …When he hit the gas and I heard that VROOOM of the carbs opening I was smitten !!
    He told my Dad to make sure he ordered the Tri/Power option to match the power of his…”

    “Many years ago i used to take quite a few road trips and generally would find any excuse i could make up just to do so . There was always a destination , but the journey was the reason , just a love of being on the open road and feeling young and unencumbered . I always used to have my “Road Trip” tape which i had previously recorded and was quite long and had a wide variety of music to listen to on the road but the same song , first up on the tape , “Vehicle” by The Ides of March always…”

    “The 996T manual has become a gold mine, and it’s super fun to drive. What more could one want in a 911 Turbo, the quintessential sports car of the modern era? Enjoy ownership in safety and good health.”

    “Congratulations @vettboy1 !!!! You’ve just landed an incredible Family Truckster. I hope it brings you as many smiles, memories, and adventures as it did for me and my family. Enjoy the ride to Wally World!
    A huge thank you to everyone who followed along, bid, and left such kind comments throughout the auction! I really enjoyed talking about the car and laughing at all the movie quotes. I hope the Truckster continues to bring joy and smiles in its next chapter. Cheers to all of you, this…”

    “My grandparents bought a Yugo new (I want to say it was a 1987). I was about 13 or 14 years old, few years later my single parent mom working 3 jobs to raise 3 kids needed a “reliable” car and bought the Yugo from my grandparents. I was 16 or 17 by now and getting into my driving days. The Yugo manual transmission is the car that I learned in. After I got my license, I drove the car often and one day rolled through an intersection and crashed into an old lady. I was devastated that I wrecked my…”

    “I saw this car in person at a show several years back, this is a very well kept and well curated example that presents at least as nice in person as it does in photos.
    A notchback 900 is on my list of Saabs to own, I don’t care if it’s a 2 or 4 door. I’m hoping one day I’ll come across another admiral blue over blue cloth sedan like I had in college.”

    “The 991 GT3T reigns supreme. Many folks say the 992 is superior. When you sit in a 992 you stare into the soulless abyss of darkened computer screens.
    I don’t care how good a 911 is if it makes me feel like I’m at work staring at a computer screen!”

    “I figured it was about time I got a GS – having grown up with DS’s starting in 1962 when my late father, the first industrial hygienist in the US, brought home, a 58 DS 19 – the early series which was as complicated as they could get. Funny thing was it was a trade-in at a Studebaker dealers shop in Salt Lake City Utah, the middle of nowhere back then. but dad, although a chemist, had a hankering for mechanical stuff and built large gasoline powered model airplanes when he was a kid.
    Even…”

    “I will say this with great confidence. This coach is a unicorn. I can’t predict outcomes but I know from thousands of miles on the rv highway that this rig is the real deal. The new owners will have both a show piece and an amazing coach. In the rv world these coaches in well preserved form are showstoppers.”

    “Great to see such an excellent example of the car that reset the standard of what to expect from a small car. Not enough people understand how the Accord raised the bar for attractive design and basic equipment. The rustproofing material is most typical of any car sold in western Pennsylvania, where salt use and rust were commonplace… probably instrumental in keeping this car on the road and on your screen today.

    “I am Bernie’s eldest daughter. I would like to thank everyone for their positive comments. My dad has read them all. I would also like to “publicly” thank @skydriver1949 for the countless hours he has spent helping my dad through this process. My dad bought this car when he was 32 and it’s been a cherished (and fun!) part of our family. While it’s difficult to part with the car, it’s time for someone new to be able to appreciate its history.”

    “My father loved VWs and I grew up surrounded by a barnyard of mostly early 50s cars and vans. We swapped engines without any regard for anything except which ones ran the best. This is an amazing car anyway, but what truly astonishes me is the original engine still in place. Incredible.”
