    “Wow !! Brings back wonderful memories as I learned how to drive on my Dad’s ‘60 Bonneville convertible ..He was a “car guy”having several Chrysler letter cars before I talked him into the Bonneville. Our neighbor had a ‘59 Bonneville convertible and he took me for a ride on a warm summer night with the top down …When he hit the gas and I heard that VROOOM of the carbs opening I was smitten !!
    He told my Dad to make sure he ordered the Tri/Power option to match the power of his…”

    “Many years ago i used to take quite a few road trips and generally would find any excuse i could make up just to do so . There was always a destination , but the journey was the reason , just a love of being on the open road and feeling young and unencumbered . I always used to have my “Road Trip” tape which i had previously recorded and was quite long and had a wide variety of music to listen to on the road but the same song , first up on the tape , “Vehicle” by The Ides of March always…”

    “The 996T manual has become a gold mine, and it’s super fun to drive. What more could one want in a 911 Turbo, the quintessential sports car of the modern era? Enjoy ownership in safety and good health.”

    “The fact that this will now live with a W108 and S123 makes me so happy….as it currently sits next to my ivory 84 S123….
    Congrats and I will be in touch. I have a few more builds coming up but will be closing for most of summer to enjoy time with my family! Life is short…go live it.
    Thanks for all of the discussion and phone calls this week!”

    “One of the best moments in this car was when we were pulling into the paddock in Monterey and there was a decent crowd waving a Ferrari 250 SWB to get out of the way so they could get a full photo of this magnificent car.”

    “This example is all steel. The Fulvia coupe 1.2 were all steel up to VIN 018988 and all aluminium panels to the last one VIN 021436 So 2448 coupe 1.2 with aluminium panels.
    This one looks very original througout. For now I can only see that the tyres are not the original height 185/70R14 The original size is 145/80R14.”

    “The car is one thing, the person that Ken Block was is something else. Watching the video of him teaching his daughter how to do donuts shows a special person in love with live and his family.”

    “Cool car. Not many Sprints with the OHC six still running around. Might not be the fastest Firebird out there, but definitely one of the more interesting ones.”

    “The Shelby Shadows are the one Whittier issue I never owned. But I did have a Shadow ES 4dr with the VNT Turbo lV which is even more rare. The variable nozzle turbo was magic, with low RPM response and torque to match the top end. It was also brave of Garrett to put a dynamic turbo housing into a production car with the vicious heat cycle. Mine grenaded when fortunately I was able to find a complete new one off the shelf.
    @Craven Funny you call out the Sundance, one of my favorite cars…”

    “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!”

    “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…”

    “When I first saw this auction I wanted to Jump! I expected there to be an Eruption of bids due to provenance. Driving at 10/10th would be like Runin’ With the Devil for sure. This car is the stuff Dreams are made of. If I won, I would definitely Dance The Night Away. OK I am done…”

    “I grew up in a family of chevy owners, just chevy’s, and I had my big block in high school. Then the new girl friend asks me over to meet her family and what does the Dad have, an Opel Manta in orange. He takes me out to inspect it and at some point hands me the key and says, have fun. Well, I did and from that point forward my world changed. Tried to talk my dad into letting me buy an MGB, that didn’t work until I bought my own in college and started auto X’ing with it. Then road racing…”
