He obviously cherished this BRG beauty!
Cheers!”
“The BMW 3.0 CSL is a 1970s icon. It has no equal. It’s the car upon which BMW has built its image and reputation since 1972”

“This Montrealer is visiting LA for the weekend.
I visited the Peterson Museum yesterday, including the Vault … what a treat for this layman to see so many spectacular “automobiles” in 1 place!
This Rolls would be perfectly suited there.
@Dollycat3, cheers back …with a fine cup of British tea for this gem.”

“I have an extensive amount of hands on detailing and reconditioning experience with the W126 model over the past 25 plus years, and its so nice to see such a well preserved low mileage example. This is such a period cool color combination, and the brown leather is so clean and well preserved !!!
I would LOVE to personally own a car like this, but I would probably double the mileage within the first year if I did. Such a great driving car, and in my opinion the W126 is way up high at the top…”

“GM should bring back the S-10! I had a 92′ and put 435,000 miles on it. Same engine as this one. Parts were cheap and they were easy to work on.”

“Right after getting out of the Army I sold cars at a Baltimore dealership. First car I ever sold was a beige 65 Impala. These cars had beautiful lines and looked great then and still do!”

“I have a 1999/2000 two door TDI in the same color that I purchased new. 349K miles and still going. Would so love to have this R32 sitting next to it. Best of lusk to the new owner
Have Fun,
BillA.”

“I love the early SHOs and had an 89, purchased in 92 while a young engineer at Ford. The car enthusiasts either had SHOs, fox body Mustangs or a Porsche (if you were willing to take the abuse from the neanderthal managers who were “only buy Ford” zealots). Once the first year gremlins were sorted, they were reliable (for a Ford) and perhaps the best all purpose sport sedan of the time. I love that Yamaha power plant and it is bulletproof, making sweet sweet sounds all the way to the little…”

“The Superleggera V4 was capped at 500 units worldwide for 2020 and remains the first street-legal motorcycle with a carbon fiber frame, subframe, swingarm and wheels as standard — Ducati had to get specific homologation approval for the structural carbon!!!!! What a Bike!!!!”

“So they built 50 of these, and now three have been offered on BaT. That says a lot about the stature that @BaT has achieved in the collector car world.”

“If you haven’t ever heard an F355 with a Tubi exhaust in a nice decently long tunnel run, you should. The 355’s have a Flat plane crankshaft, and with a Tubi Exhaust has a Formula 1 sound… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jchd1Sj6PsM If you are in a hurry, you can start at 30 seconds. If the link does not work you can go to Youtube and search for “Ferrari F355 tunnel run” (by Fast Terrific) Not many cars can give you goosebumps when you hear them, this one does.”

“Fun reading the comments here. I’ve owned many 99s over the years. My first car was a Topaz Yellow ‘76 GL 4 door with 90k miles that I bought in 1980 from my local Saab dealership, Reinertsen Motors. It was $3000, but I traded in my 1 year old Motobecane moped, so net cash was $2400 (plus tax). I later traded that 99 at Reinertsen Motors for a ‘74 Carolina Blue 99 LE like this one because I preferred the utility of the hatchback and it looked more up to date at the time as the 900 was…”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“These were never intended to remain stock, much like the ’66 427 Fairlanes coming without a Trac-Lok rear diff. These were intended to have headers and a bigger Holley mounted by the owner to let the big fella breathe, and once you do that, there’s no comparison between a BOSS ‘9 and any Cobra Jet 428 or 429, even with the same mods done to them.”

“I owned one of these (85, Black with a manual) back when they were relatively new and I absolutely loved the car.
The car was so much fun to drive and was totally at home on the highway.
Being a young guy living in Seattle during the 80’s and really into the music scene (which was on fire back then) friends and I frequently traveled up and down I-5 checking out the music in different cities and we always took the Merk.
I remember one time leaving Seattle late at night heading towards…”

“I have had many 105 series cars: GTV’s, Scalino’s, Giulia’s, a Spider and many Berlina’s. Years ago the Berlina’s, due to low value, served as donors for the 2L engine and limited slip diff. The styling is not a dramatic as the other 105 series cars, however driving them they hold as the best of the range! I love the 2L dash and driving at night…as the lighting in the dash is activated by a separate button…which makes the beautiful white dails light up! It’s a spacious comfortable fast…”

“What a neat rig with an incredible pedigree! And you won’t need to bring a trailer because it’s too precious. Just drive it home and enjoy it.
I don’t have a lot to add on top of what others have said about Harold Allen except to say that many years ago I came into a collection of his Stroppe-related photos from Ford Motor Company and I’m forever grateful for those.
I think this is the only Bronco I know of that was owned by one of Ford’s off road racing stars that has come to market in…”
