    “I’d like to thank everyone who joined the conversation. There were many great comments, and I learned a lot about my car. This BaT process has been so cool for me to be a part of. It’s just been fun – maybe the only fun way to let go of this car. Here are a few last pics. Thank you all!!”

    “I worked on the development of these back at the start of my career as an engineer with Isuzu in Cerritos, CA. The prototype from Japan was purple and RHD which got lots of stares and thumbs up Super fun cars to drive. Drove it to Lake Tahoe through many fun roads. Handled pretty well for a SUV.”

    “Just so anyone watching this knows, the “Chip” referenced in the records as a prior owner in the story of this car is my father. This car is coming home”

    “Hard to imagine that this stunning body style only lasted 3 years. Peak GM sculpting straight out of mid century Detroit. Whew”

    “Just stunning. Hard to imagine today that these were once just considered cars and converted to race cars and sometimes trucks! I read where a wealthy widow donated her late husband’s for scrap to support the war effort.”

    “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…”

    “Poster child for Toyota reliability, durability, ruggedness, ease of ownership all wrapped up in a perfectly sized no nonsense do it all pickup.
    Added bonus, respectable mpg and well mannered handling.”

    “These Ford GT’s are so much fun to drive, I took mine out this morning and the experience is almost indescribable. I have other supercars as well but the Ford GT is by far the best. Until you drive one you will never understand the why you need one of these in your collection. I do think they deserve to be DRIVEN!!!”

    “Thank you. My hubby has been talking about getting one for 10-plus years, and I am getting this to surprise him when he finishes his cancer treatments!”

    “I spent 2 years restoring this car with the great guys at Universally Modified Performance. Also, a big shout at Extraordinaries Custom paint. They both did a great job. As a partner at Andretti Global, I had access to the greatest guys who know so much about this car. The majority of the parts on this car are original parts from michaels actual races in 1991. I worked with both Michael and Mario to make sure everything was as accurate as possible. It’s truly a big part of IndCar history.”

    “A well deserved love letter I might add. Congrats to the owner/builder on a job extremely well done. Visually and through his explanations, it looks and sounds like it truly was a labor of love. I’ll have to take his word that it isn’t a show car because it surely looks otherwise to me.”

    “On Thanksgiving eve of 1969 my father drove home a brand new 1970 SX. Rally red, white vinyl top, white bucket seats, sport steering wheel and side mirrors, etc. I was 17 at the time and still have it! Without my father’s knowledge, I immediately swapped the 2 barrel carb for the quadrant which really changed the performance. The drive train is bullet proof. Almost 57 years later and the engine still cranks right up and pulls like a horse! Our domestic cars from 65-71 were fabulous!”

    A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

    “I’m a tech at Colonial Toyota in Milford and saw this car come in the shop for service and the pictures do not do it justice on how incredible clean this car is, it’s in damn near showroom condition. Our whole shop was infatuated with this car. Our service writer Dwayne, was worried that it wouldn’t get done in time because we couldn’t stop drooling over it 😂 GLWS”

    “I have to admire the audacity and the laissez faire attitude! “…also notes “moderate damage” from a July 2014 accident in which the vehicle overturned” suggests that the owner approaches this Civic as Jeremy Clarkson approaches Reliant Robins.”

    “This is a couple more pictures of the owner for 55 years. They both have had a wonderful life together, the stories they could tell!”
