“This truck is why the Toyota pickups are on my watchlist.”
“If you are looking for something that will outlast the four-cylinder turbo that is now in the Land Cruiser, this is what you need. These things will go another 400,000 miles, no problem. At first glance, it looks like a garage queen but it’s just getting broken in!”

“I know that Singer, Gunther Works, and others have their devoted fan bases, but for me, nothing does it quite like a RUF, ever since teenaged-me read (and dreamed) about the Yellowbird in Road and Track in 1987.”

“Anyone with the wrenching skills and the work space could have a lot of fun with this. Forget show car status, this is a drive it while you play with it diamond in the rough. First, pay the bucks to get an expert diagnosis of the issues. The interior looks more than serviceable so just get it running right…not perfect, just safely drivable. You now have a great project (father and son?) that will constantly reward your efforts. Take your time going through the mechanical needs…then move on…”

“All of a sudden it’s 2003, I’m in my parents’ living room putting Need for Speed Underground into my Gamecube. I’ve got a Focus with green underglow and nitrous. It’s built to dominate the circuit races, but I need a better car for drifting. My dad helps me with some of the tougher races – we’re gonna watch some Monster Garage after we get a few races in.
Shoot… I might just go into my own living room now and pop the game into the Gamecube. For old time’s sake.”

“My dad also has a Judson in his ’56 lowlight and got me hooked on 36hps. I currently have an Okrasa and just pulled a ’58 T2 36hp out of my Brasilia science project. I see at one point in picture 507 this Ghia had an Okrasa setup. I would have loved to talk to the owner/builder and hear their feedback on the differences. Does the motor still have the Okrasa 69.5 crank or upgraded (356/custom) camshaft with the Judson setup? Does it by chance have a the uber rare “high compression” domed VW…”

“When I was President of the Pit Crew at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles I had the privilege of arranging a Tour of Bruce Meyer’s garage off Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. Among his fabulous cars (e.g. the first production Cobra) is the SWB Berlinetta that won its class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1961, the highest placing of a SWB at Le Mans.”

“A few years ago I took one down the Oregon coast, right after some seat time in a GT3. Same engine DNA, same urgency to rev, but the experience couldn’t be more different in the best way. Top down, rowing your own gears, flat-six at 9k RPM echoing off the cliffs… it turns every mile into an event. What a great Porsche. Here’s to the next owner racking up the miles on it.”

“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…”

“To the best of my knowledge all the Super Sprints received 5 speed transmissions. I’ve even worked on a Tipo 4 5 speed gearbox. My own 1954 CSS 01770, still has it’s 5 speed column shift. The shift pattern is no different than a floor shifter, pull the shifter towards you and up for first and down for second and so on. I’ve owned this car since 1976.”

“It was around 1987. Dad was driving junior high car crazed me in the family sedan, to I think an orthodontic appointment, which we were running late for. He was going 80-85 down a country two lane highway. All of a sudden, we see a 928 coming up fast. He flies by us like we were standing still. About 3 minutes later we pass the 928 on the side of the road with a highway patrolman behind him. My dad knew the owner, and later on he said he was clocked at 140 since he was able to brake for a…”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“Ah, the memories. Throwing those doors open to exit on a timed response only to have them not latch and come back on your hand, head, legs. Failing to latch the turret and spinning around on corners… enough to make you nauseous. Or backing in to the ATF with the M-60 not latched in the neutral position and bending the barrel (this actually happened). Maybe catching your boot on the door opening ledge and face planting. No one who rode in one doesn’t have an opinion on them.”

“I own one of these (long story), so I know they are something of a novelty rather than a serious sports car.
That said, they are such iconically cool cars. The grey/white background with the stainless foreground is just chef’s kiss photography. Calendar worthy shots aplenty in this gallery.
Best of luck with the sale! In keeping with the unspoken rules of quoting BTTF on all of these auctions, I’ll just paraphrase Doc Brown. “When this auction gets underway, you’re going to see some…”

“I live in Great Falls and recognized the lead photo. The fellow that accumulated these had a beautiful collection of fully restored cars. He owned several bars in town and had a gorgeous 50’s Corvette in one of them, Classic 50’s Diner. I am guessing these are either donors or projects he ran out of time for. One’s demise will do that to you.”

“In a sea of drab, soulless shape. Parking lots full of white, beige and Grey. Wouldn’t you like to stand out. That is exactly what you will get with this all new for 1957 Plymouth. 3 full years ahead of the competition. Just look at that styling. Gaze upon the majesty of color. Delight in the lines that none can imitate. You get more car, for less money.
Plymouth for 1957. Get yours today.”

“I’ve been racing a 1966 Lola T70 Spyder now for five years. And can promise you that the experience is incredible. I certainly hope that the new owner will come racing. And I get a chance to be on the track with this car, and with you the new owner.
Talk about being welcome to just about any grid. This is your ticket.
I also purchased the Lola T163 here on BAT recently. The purchase price was $350,000. And the experience of purchasing the car. And after the purchase. Was very nice with…”
