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

    “I truly appreciate all of the thoughtful comments along the way. The collective expertise of the community is both helpful and part of the fun! I realize that from a collector’s point of view, this may not be ideal. However, I buy them to drive, and it would feel bad buying a perfect spec collector’s car and driving it as hard as I plan to do. The alternative would have been to find a donor car, and either build it myself or take it to a resto mod shop. This one is already done and ready…”

    “Having an Arnage was on my bucket list for a very long time and after years trying to find a 2009 I was finally able to get one about 4-5 years ago. It was worth the wait. Just being inside it is a special occasion. It became my daily driver for a while and I always caught myself finding excuses to go places so I could drive it.
    On a funny note, every time I’m on a 4-way stop people wait for me to go first. I think they just want to stare at the Arnage. People love it.
    If you are true car…”

    “Super excited. I have a twin of this car in the driveway, save for wood trim vs. carbon fiber and over 275,000 miles on the odometer. If I get even half that much more fun out of this one, I’ll feel pretty blessed.”

    “Wonderful handling wagons. If well maintained the drivetrain will last well past 200k miles. Most common issues are door panel fabric detachment, interior plastic scratching, exterior door window rubber degradation, and infotainment electronic glitches. Anyone who says they should have offered this with the six has never driven one. For its intended market the 2.4 is more than adequate to move the wagon at a comfortably fast pace and the five speed auto is well matched to the engine. For those…”

    “Hello BaT universe! I am the owner, craftsman, artist of this X-34 Landspeeder tribute vehicle. Since I couldn’t acquire the real one from that galaxy far, far away, (the import/transport fees would have been “astronomical”) I decided to build one to commemorate the upcoming 50th earthly anniversary of this iconic movie vehicle. I am looking forward to all the comments, questions, and bids.”

    “When I scroll BaT, I’ve always held out hope I’d come across two cars: my dad’s ‘66 E Type, and this car. I sold this car to the current seller. Bought when I was 14, restored it, drove it through high school and into young married life. Sold it when I was broke with a growing family to support. Broke my heart to sell it, but clearly I sold to the right individual. Car looks absolutely amazing. I’ll start the bidding with the last sale price…”

    “Harold is a Stroppe and Ford icon still with us today, he admits he is older and as for all of us, his memory is fading.
    Rod unfortunately is no longer with us but there is a lot more info on his legendary existence.
    with that being said, i invite anyone who knew or knew of Harold Allen and or his talents to share any stats and stories with us and the same with Rod?
    i am sure @BajaBronco / Andrew and @Todd_Z. and @House along with a handful of others will have some important history and…”

    “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”

    “Got to drive a Farmall of similar vintage at a friend’s property in Vermont – so much fun. And they were thrilled that I happily spent an entire afternoon mowing their enitre property, and then thanked them afterwards 😂😂
    And, really – any vehicle that comes with a Mason Jar as standard equipment is worth owning.”

    “I saw a red one at a car show in Woodley Park: I thought this was such a beautiful car
    I asked the owner if he would sell it: he said $65K
    I told him I would think about it: you know how that goes: this was around 1985
    Well many years later: I bought a white one LHD at the Gooding auction for a little over
    $300,000: a record price at that time
    All my car friends said what a stupid purchase!!!
    6 months later there was on on the cover of Sports Car magazine that sold for $1.1 million in yellow…”

    “I laughed out loud when I saw this listing. Not at the machine or the seller’s fine presentation of course, but at the breadth and depth of human ingenuity for all manor of powered conveyance. We motorheads have a lot of fun don’t we?
    Kudos to the seller for showing us what this thing can really do.. Here’s a rig that cuts through all pretense with unapologetic utility. Mainstream automakers take note.”

    “C&C T-Tops were as good if not better than factory. Loved the glass to glass look that GM adopted for the 3rd gen cars. I used to install those on 2nd and 3rd gen F-bodies in the 80’s through the 90’s. Way better than the tiny Hurst and American aftermarket Hatches. GLWTA.”

    “That 292 cu. in. 6 cyl. engine is a real workhorse. It gets peak torque at a low 1600 RPM. It is not going to win on race day but it will pull most anything you want it to.”

    “I cannot properly put into words how excited and truly blessed I am to be the next caretaker of this incredible GTO. My story runs a strikingly similar path to that of the seller. I too, bought my first car at 14-1/2 years old, a rusty, primer covered 1968 4 speed GTO sitting out in front of a house in the very same town, Milton Wisconsin where the seller’s story started with this car 39 years ago. This incredible ’68 GTO is coming back home to Milton where she belongs for now.”
