“First BaT win. Thanks fam!”
“Besides the provenance of RH and HA, this is an awesome spec – ’71 with Stroppe installed power steering and auto with lettered adapter. Exciting to have and driving the 4 turn steering offroad is awesome. Ask me how I know.”

“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”

“Outstanding 7 litre rare cat! You’d likely encounter a (live) cougar in the wild before ever seeing another one of these, incredible GLWTA”

JWHBOOMER commented on M5-Swapped 2002 BMW 540i Sport Wagon 6-Speed
“I had to chime in as this brought back memories. My dad had one with factory 4 speed and (at least) front disc brakes. Can’t remember the rears. Factory silver with a vinyl roof. That 4 speed was a LONG throw so it took a while to get there. A lot of axle hop. I always thought it would make a great sleeper hotrod with a bit of engine & suspension work. I had no idea how rare the factory options were. Who knew?”

“Always loved these. I am the person responsible for that front cover photo of Hemmings Muscle Machines. I was the editor of that magazine at the time. That Mopar issue was a ton of work, but satisfying. Beautiful example of when Chrysler actually built cars. Today, just the Pacifica.”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“This car always stuck out with ONE simple metric that I read back when it was being tested… 50mph to 75mph, it beat out the Testarossa and Porsche Carrera 4.
I think we know a hybrid RAV4 today could probably do this, but in period it blew my socks off to know this.
May this Swedish Testarossa be enjoyed for many more years. GLWTA”

“Blue is such an underrated color for Ferraris. Most shades of blue look great on Ferraris, specially on larger, front-engine ones like this, the 612, or the FF.”

“Much respect to the owner(s) who put the miles on this beauty-McLaren’s are meant to be driven!”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“In the fall of 1975, Fort Stockton had a way of educating you whether you asked for it or not.
That afternoon, the freshman left Jim Bowie High School—“Home of the Fighting Knives”—with his head full of Health & Human Anatomy, a class that had spent the better part of the day explaining things nobody had ever explained to him before, using charts that looked like they’d been drawn by a committee with a grudge. The bell rang, chairs scraped, and every boy in the room walked out…”

“Had mine for almost two years, absolutely love it (V6, manual, sport suspension with Goodyears). Some people may be put off by a sports car that can lose a 0-60 battle with a modern high-end SUV, but that’s not the type of person that owns a Lotus long-term. These cars talk to you and let you know how you the inputs you make create the overall experience. I wanted this car because I wanted engagement.
Think about marksmanship for a moment – you’re at the range shooting 800 yards with a…”

“In 1984, I was 13 years old and my parents were finally considering other cars to replace their old GM boring 4 door sedans. We went into the Nissan dealership and there was a 50th anniversary 300ZX which looked exactly like this one. Compared to what I was used to riding around in at the time, the Z was a spaceship in comparison. So cool and I didn’t really know what a turbo was, but I knew I wanted one! The dealership had it roped off to keep drooling kids and teens like me aways from…”

“im a CO boy also. I bought a radiator from Corvettes only years ago so i do appreciate that connection.
This car will remain origional as possible and will be put back correctly. im honored to have this one….”

“Great looking e28 that has been dialed in the way all e28s should be dialed in, starting with euro bumpers and properly lowered suspension. 👏
You’d be hard pressed to find better wheels for an e28 than the 16″ BBS RX wheels.
The crack free dash is also a bonus, as is the top end motor refresh just a few thousand miles ago.
The Recaros alone are worth between two and five thousand dollars in case someone wanted to replace them with e28 sport seats.
Refurbished A/C and the new heater core…”

“We had ’74 Manta, one of our most dependable and enjoyable cars. Terrific handling and clean styling. Kept it for 9 years and 80K miles. The drive trains in these cars were solid.”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“Jimmy Don Ventura had owned enough unusual automobiles over the years to believe he understood the public. He’d driven a lime-green AMC Gremlin, a Triumph Spitfire that leaked oil with the determination of an East Texas mosquito, and a Plymouth Barracuda that had once stranded him in front of the Dairy Twin during the lunch rush. Every one of them had attracted comments, questions, and unsolicited mechanical advice from complete strangers.
Then he bought Fred.
Officially, it was a 1949…”

“If you told me 10 years ago that GM’s only manual performance car would be a Cadillac sedan, I’d have told you you’re crazy.”

“In 1967, my dad informed me that he had purchased, with my savings, 1960 Falcon with 60K miles for $325.00.
While it would not have been my choice, I was excited to enter the world of independence from walking, bicycling and public transportation.
The 144 ci engine didn’t last long with my heavy foot and the constant diet of re-refined oil I fed it from our local Site gas station.
I found a 260 at the junk yard and that was a great improvement.
The original radiator did not like the 260, so…”
