    “You’ve probably noticed that I’m happily bidding on this special Healey. Coming across such an untouched time capsule of a car is a real treat. We have a passionate Healey community here in the Netherlands (and even a very attractive Austin Healey museum), so I hope to restore this car to its original condition and preserve it for future generations. Kudos to BAT!”

    “As a Kia enthusiast (yes, we exist), this is the holy grail. The looks you’d get for telling people what this is make it worth any expense. I’d rather have one of these over the Lotus version, just for that novelty. The stock drivetrain isn’t bad at all, but I can’t help but wonder how one of these would do with a modern Gamma 1.6 or 1.6T swap from Hyundai. In a way you’d keep it “in the family” but really liven it up. I don’t think there’s as many purists out there for the Kia version anyway.…”

    “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! GLWTA”

    “”Use Genuine BMW parts” sticker still on the strut tower. I applaud your sense of irony.”

    “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…”

    “The custom houndstooth grill paired with the interior is awesom”

    “Oh my goodness. Why aren’t there more of these? A Packard restomod. Some would say it’s sacrilege but whew… well played.”

    “I remember filling out a postcard to get a promotional dvd for this car when i was 14. The dvd was about 5 minutes of this car doing straight line accelerations and burnouts. I watched it a ton of times. I thought it was badass then and I still do now.”

    “My old GTX! What a joy to see it again, and looking so darn sharp.
    Thank you for the shout Randy @BaT – I would’ve missed the listing otherwise. Time travel is fun, eh?
    I bought this car in Las Vegas in 2012 after years of hunting for a good one. Even back then, they were quite rare. On the drive home to San Francisco, I took a dirt detour through Titus Canyon in Death Valley, and you can see pics from that in the original auction gallery. One of my favorite car memories of all…”

    “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!”

    “This is a sweet ’69 El Camino L78… no vinyl top! Could have been used to drag race or simply used to pull a boat down to the river. With the pin-striping that was removed, my guess, it was sparingly used to launch a Sanger flat-bottom boat with a built 427.

    “I had the absolute pleasure of being parked next to this vehicle at the BaT concours d’elegance in Elkhart Lake on Saturday evening, and I must say: this car somehow looks even better in person. I am in and out of a ton of aircooled Porsches in a professional capacity, and this may be the nicest 911SC I’ve ever seen. It’s obvious after talking to the seller that they took their time to refurbish the car the correct way – with the love and care this fine example deserves.
    Somebody is going to…”

    “There were two icons of the late 1980s for me: the Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk2 16V and the Lancia Delta Integrale 16V.
    If you grew up like I did in the 1980s there’s a good chance you were obsessed with one—or both.
    The GTI was the benchmark hot hatch, while the Integrale was the rally-bred legend that dominated the world stage. Different personalities, yet both became automotive icons that defined a generation of enthusiasts.
    It’s so cool to see a well-sorted GTI 16V again. Seeing one…”
