    “A tip for the seller or new owner: When I replaced the door seals on my E34 M5 I used the seals from an E39. At the time E34 door seals were NLA and the E39 ones were readily available. I had to shorten them a few inches, but otherwise they are a perfect fit.”

    “The 550 was, by and large, the end of the gated manual era at Ferrari and was the final model offered exclusively with a 6-speed transmission. Gearbox technology was advancing quickly as Scuderia Ferrari dominated F1, so when the updated 575M was introduced in 2002, nearly all of them came equipped with the F1 transmission. Only 246 575Ms were optioned with the manual gearbox, and its successor, the 599, saw just 30 manuals produced.
    The 550 is sleek, slippery, and sexy—a grand touring…”

    “Absolute stunner. Certainly one of the top three motorcycles of all time; likely the ‘top one’.
    Exquisite restoration. This can, and ought, to be ridden.”

    “I’ve driven this car & own a w108 Matt fitted a 113k drivetrain to. If you have the means I highly recommend it.”

    “I must commend the team at Revology on an absolute triumph of packaging. It is one thing to shoehorn a Gen 3 Coyote into an early-model engine bay, but the way this has been engineered is incredibly clean. You actually left plenty of room to work on the car, and the plumbing is pure art. It takes a truly discerning eye to differentiate this from a factory-spec 1968 Fastback until you pop the hood.
    The juxtaposition of eras is beautifully executed. Catching the modern Ford door-ajar chime in…”

    “As a sidebar to this 250,000th auction listing, yesterday at the Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance, BaT Co-Founder Randy Nonnenberg, spoke at length for the entrants and attendees about the phenomenon that brought about what we are experiencing here — how it began and how it evolved. It’s a fascinating story of insight, risk and reward that’s about as “American” as anything can be.
    On the field were a number of “BaT Auction” sales as well as sellers, commenters and attendees who read the…”

    “”body is said to have sustained damage from shrapnel during a missile strike” . . . that’s not damage, that’s character.”

    “Pontiac sure had some pretty cars in the Sixties. They’ve aged well too. Great to see two Pontiac B Bodies with three pedals on BaT in the same week… how unusual is that?
    This car would have a circle of admirers at every Cars and Coffee you drove it to… elegant and much less common than the A Body cars of the era. Truly the “executives’ hot rod” especially with a four-speed.
    Wonderful car… :-)”

    “I have an old family friend (89 years young) that I showed these pictures to that has been a wood carver all his life and has made some exquisite pieces of animals, custom stair cases, door frames and such using a chain saw and wood chisels and a lot of sanding. He was really impressed and spent a half hour flicking between the photos and commenting on the details presented here with the biggest smile. On our second pour of Blanton’s I joking asked him if he could do something like this and…”

    “I remember growing up in the 90s and early 2000s watching this series on speedvision, cable channel 53 back then. Kinda brings back memories of the real time integra type r from back in that era as well. Great memories.”

    “I remember back in the mid to late 80s, collectors were buying big blocks C2’s, but stayed away from split windows, telling everybody nobody wants them, hard to see out of the back, blah, blah blah! Funny how times have changed.
    Beautiful Car, GLWTA!”

    “Never, until today, has El Camino and Continental kit ever been used in the same sentence, for me anyway.
    Now, I will never be able to unsee it.”

    “I bought this car intending to enjoy driving it, and I did. I’ve owned this Viper since April 2000 and have kept it longer than any other car I’ve owned. It has spent its life just south of Houston. I’ve enjoyed it enormously over the past 26 years, including four driving schools and 5-6 autocross events. I’m selling it because I’m almost 70 and the Viper has become harder for me to get in and out of and to drive without pain (2 surgeries on the ball of my left foot). I hope its next owner…”
