    “I own the same car, even down to the 1592 twin cam and automatic transmission. It was built 6,028 cars later than this one, currently has 178,408 miles, and is our daily driver. I got it from the original owner’s family, and am technically the 4th caretaker. Since I also specialize in Fiats, I have serviced it mostly from new.
    We take it on club tours, and it’s comfortable at an indicated 70+ mph. In 2024 we won worst in class at the concours d’lemons in Seaside California, and last year we…”

    “Welcome to my first BaT listing! You might be surprised to see it’s a Dart, not a Valiant, but I have a thing for all A-body Mopars. I’m listing this cool Dart for a friend as I suggested putting it on BaT and he is not as familiar with the way it goes.
    I’ve known the car for some years and from the first time I saw it have been admiring the details and workmanship. The owner/builder is a talented fabricator, machinist and welder. Anyone who has seen my comments here probably realizes I…”

    “The childhood memories are strong with this one! GM Design did an excellent job of evolving the colonnade coupes for Buick and Oldsmobile toward the sheer look that began with the ’75 Seville. The Cutlass was the best selling car in the USA in 1976 with nearly 500K units produced. A neighbor had one in this color with bucket seats and I was thrilled to get a ride now and then. This interior is bonkers peak ’70s — I thought the “geometric weave” loose pillow luxe upholstery was only available…”

    “As a retired Aerospace Engine-nerd, I can relate to this car and the OCD of the prior owners/family. This one won’t be restored nor turned for profit, but it will be driven in the desert southwest and turn over 100,000 miles within a year or so. I drive ’em, I don’t show them or brag about them. Enjoy your cars folks! We ain’t gettin’ any younger, time goes so quickly.
    Enjoy your day. God Bless.”

    “Awesome car. I love pic 149 because it tells a story of what likely happened to most radio delete Camaros in the early 80s when these cars were cheap enough to be purchased by teenagers who would not be caught dead in a car with no tunes. I can see the kid with his dad’s hacksaw, tin snips and pliers lying on his back in that trunk going to town. A couple hours later, with his brand new Jensen Tri-Axials installed, he’s cruising around town with tunes blaring. Radio delete option be damned!!”

    “Dave the owner of this car, hosted the Chicago chapter of the Alfa Club at his shop, The Giulietta Studio, last weekend for our annual swap meet. I got to see this car in person, and all I can say is WOWW!! This car is spectacular. Down to details like proper hose clamps, it’s just done so nicely and correctly. Not that you’ll need it, but GLWTA!”

    “My wife drives a PT Cruiser. She LOVES the car. We’ve never been able to take it on any kind of road trip without a CEL. I keep an OBD II reader in the car. Two crankshaft position sensors, one camshaft position sensor, one idle air mixture valve, two ECMs, and numerous gas caps. Did I mention that she loves the thing?”

    “Another amazing 911. Norway knows how to build for sure. This is why I love coming to BAT. Not only do I learn more about some of the cars I never really got into. Plus with my serious health issues right now, BAT really helps me get up early, and make it through another day. And it gives me hope that one day I will own one. GLWTA!!!”

    “There is a really really good chance that I painted the door jams on that car! I worked at the St. Thomas assembly plant in St. Thomas Ontario Canada from 1980 to 2011. Every time I see one of these it brings back really good memories. And trust me these things were built Ford tough. all the door jams on the early cars like this one we’re all painted my hand. In time we got the robots to start doing door jams. I was 21 years old when this car was built. Good luck with the auction I would love…”

    “As we all know, cars are a huge bridge in bringing people together. I first met this car in a garage at Sonoma Raceway attracted by its rad stance. Ventured into the garage with my 11yo and the owner says “go ahead, take a closer look, get in it!” A small conversation later and come to find out he is neighbors with a good friend of mine. We hve been good friends ever since.
    The owner is an accomplished racer himself, past NASA endurance race champion. This car was built with a racers…”

    “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!”
