    “My husband has been wanting a Porsche since he was 8. This is a dream come true. Thank you all!”

    enricojillforlenza commented on 1980 Porsche 911SC Coupe

    “I’ve seen these cars in person when they were new at Straman’s over next to the Orange County Airport. The workmanship is superb. No one believes me when I say that there was a convertible CRX.
    More importantly than that, no one believes there was EVER a teddy bear wheel made for any car – and I’ve told stories about them on a Volkswagen Cabriolet I once had. I have only ever seen ONE at a tire dealer. Never a complete set.
    This car embodies every story I’ve ever told about cars made of…”

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

    “The Dark Toreador Red color on these always looked good. With the matching grill and the dual exhaust set itself apart from it’s Grand Marquis and Crown Vic parents. Matched with a few good options like the trunk organizer and heated seats this is a great example of a car that all of us would buy 10 times over given the chance to go back 20 years and walk into a new car dealership! GLWTA”

    “”Use Genuine BMW parts” sticker still on the strut tower. I applaud your sense of irony.”

    “My favorite auction of the year.
    My very first car was precisely this, but in tan and minus the Cragars. Served me well throughout college and for a cross-country drive to Southern California after college. Raced a Mazda RX-7 across approximately 100 miles of the desert Southwest, with my 10-speed bike strapped to the roof rack. I pulled away from him on the flat stretches and he caught and passed me in the mountain curves. Eventually my 440 needed gas and he didn’t. Good times.
    Several…”

    “I’ve been looking for a bus like this for Rachael for many years. We are gonna make it stock height and beautiful.”

    Mr.OGPaint commented on No Reserve: 1963 Volkswagen Type 2 11-Window Microbus Project

    “AMX’s and Javelins are the most underrated Muscle cars. Never understood that. They are so awesome! Too bad AMC always struggled with the big 3. Imagine if there was a AMX made today. GLWTA. Beautiful car! Great color combo and always loved the Rear spoiler option.”

    “@PDXBryan this one blows my SOHCs off.
    I’ve only once seen a cammer swap as nice as this and it was supposedly done by KK as an experimental along with one they build as a mid-engine Boss 9 (both fastback Mustangs).
    What’s so clever about this is you’d never expect it. The level of street sleeper, slack jaw, dumbdoundery here is off the charts. Roll up in this anywhere and get affirming nods, then open the hood and prepare for the cult of engine worship to begin their drooling genuflections.…”

    Raffi commented on 427 SOHC “Cammer”-Powered 1959 Ford Thunderbird Coupe 3-Speed

    “340 vs 383 the 340 wins. Not only in a straight line but especially on a winding road. The small block with the well designed chassis corners like a sports car. To be fair, these days the restrictive 383 exhaust can be relieved with contemporary under-chassis headers and the big block can be as light as a small block with aluminum heads, intake and water pump housing. Throw in a stroker crank for 500ci and it will get interesting.
    But for stock vintage examples I think it’s no contest. If…”

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

    “Hello BaT universe! I am the owner, craftsman, artist of this X-34 Landspeeder tribute vehicle. Since I couldn’t acquire the real one from that galaxy far, far away, (the import/transport fees would have been “astronomical”) I decided to build one to commemorate the upcoming 50th earthly anniversary of this iconic movie vehicle. I am looking forward to all the comments, questions, and bids.”

    StoneRoller_ReadLuke24 commented on No Reserve: X-34 Landspeeder-Style Golf Cart

    “When I scroll BaT, I’ve always held out hope I’d come across two cars: my dad’s ‘66 E Type, and this car. I sold this car to the current seller. Bought when I was 14, restored it, drove it through high school and into young married life. Sold it when I was broke with a growing family to support. Broke my heart to sell it, but clearly I sold to the right individual. Car looks absolutely amazing. I’ll start the bidding with the last sale price…”

    Mgh20180 commented on No Reserve: Backdated 1971 MG MGB Roadster

    “Harold is a Stroppe and Ford icon still with us today, he admits he is older and as for all of us, his memory is fading.
    Rod unfortunately is no longer with us but there is a lot more info on his legendary existence.
    with that being said, i invite anyone who knew or knew of Harold Allen and or his talents to share any stats and stories with us and the same with Rod?
    i am sure @BajaBronco / Andrew and @Todd_Z. and @House along with a handful of others will have some important history and…”

    “This Bronco will be well loved and cherished here. Been a dream of mine to have a Stroppe Baja for many years. Bought a Stroppe tribute here years ago, still have it, still love it, getting a new motor as we speak. But man I always wanted one of the real ones, so cool!”

    “Things of the past….
    A) Pontiac
    B)Colonnade cars and their elegant sportiness
    C) Corner Radio Shack where you could pickup a “realistic” fm booster to add to your Pontiac”

    “I was building a large garage for a customer back in ‘87 or ‘88. I was just finishing up the lighting and up pulls an enclosed transport.
    The driver opens the doors and proceeds to offload a brand new GNX and a Turbo TA.
    They still sit in that garage to this day.”

    “Corvettes, Testarossas, 911s… no… this is my exotic dream car… and that colour! Looks like an excellent body restoration. And it is in my motherland!”
