    “A Volvo PV544 has been my dream car since I was a teenager. I belong to a women’s vintage car club here on the CA Central Coast called the Highway Honeys. “Lemondrop” as I am calling this beauty would be a perfect addition to my life!”

    “A rare Terminator here. Only 610 Redfire ‘verts rolled off the assembly line in ’03, and only 196 of those had the Parchment Suede seat inserts. GLWA!”

    “Thanks guys. Looking forward to taking delivery. My mother owned a new one in 79 and I wasn’t quite old enough to drive it. Always wanted one of my own.”

    “This is a staggering amount of engineering. To the casual observer it will be hard to detect as the person / team that did this, did it to an OEM standard where you can’t tell where the custom parts start and stop.
    Just getting the new long block into the correct position (clears the hood, cross member, firewall, etc.) is hours of trial and error, design work and then fabricating. Then there are all the ancillary items that have to fitted, plumbed and wired, shift linkage, gauges, drive…”

    “In 1960 as senior in high school I was a member of the Ecurie Ecosse Association. The team came to Watkins Glen to run in Formula Libre race. Went down to the pits to say hello and got invited to be a “guest pit crew member” for Sunday’s race!! I expected to stand in the corner out of the way! Big surprise I was tasked with carrying the pit signal board from the pits to edge of the track to signal Roy Salvadori driving the team’s Cooper Monaco!! Keep in mind no pesky waivers to sign for a…”

    “The car is one thing, the person that Ken Block was is something else. Watching the video of him teaching his daughter how to do donuts shows a special person in love with live and his family.”

    “Cool car. Not many Sprints with the OHC six still running around. Might not be the fastest Firebird out there, but definitely one of the more interesting ones.”

    David_C. commented on 1967 Pontiac Firebird Sprint Coupe

    “The Shelby Shadows are the one Whittier issue I never owned. But I did have a Shadow ES 4dr with the VNT Turbo lV which is even more rare. The variable nozzle turbo was magic, with low RPM response and torque to match the top end. It was also brave of Garrett to put a dynamic turbo housing into a production car with the vicious heat cycle. Mine grenaded when fortunately I was able to find a complete new one off the shelf.
    @Craven Funny you call out the Sundance, one of my favorite cars…”

    “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.”

    “@ctalisman
    Thank you bud. You have no idea what this car means to me. Money aside I always wanted one when I was a kid and a friend of mine had one once and would always wear blue socks because of the car. Just wonderful memories with this platform in my head.”

    “That’s me with the seller. I believe we were snowboarding at Mt Hood that day. What a beast of a vehicle! It hauled many people to Mt. for a number of years. Great memories!”

    “I owned a J-car with V6, they were better and more reliable than they get credit for. Chevrolet did a great job styling the Z24, love the cowl-induction hood. Those tint headlight covers are pure 80s nostalgia, I sold hundreds of them back in the day.”
