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

    “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’m still at that point.”

    “An Alfa like this, in this original condition, is simply priceless. I don’t know who coined the expression “you can’t go home again,” but this car proves them wrong. This car is more than a time capsule, it is a time machine. Drive it and you will be transported back to Italy during an automotive golden age. A 100 point Pebble Beach example couldn’t give you any more pleasure than enjoying this in today’s real world. GLWTA.”

    “We can crack some jokes, but lets also acknowledge the incredible craftsmanship here. The hand painted details are incredible!”

    “Great read. Glad Denise McLuggage got a shout out. One of the great auto scribes who dosen’t get the recognition she deserves. Also wrote one of the best ski instruction books “The Centered Skier”.”

    “I campaiged a Landspeed Corvair for many years and Tom Keo is one of my heros. He isn’t just a Corvair Genius but also a scholar and a gentleman. Bid With Confidance!!”

    “That fuse panel is as good as it gets for 48 years old, no wiring hacks, clean relay blocks, no signs of burnt fuse terminals. And all the fuse positions have the correct fuse in them, and fuse 13 is supposed to be empty. Gotta love the hand-painted stripes on many of the wires, these early cars are full of little easter eggs like that.
    Definitely worth the hassle of getting the pics to instill bidder confidence!”

    “Jan 1970: We shuttled 20 new imported cars from the dealership in Farmington CT to display at the car show in the Hartford Armory, and all the keys just got tossed in a basket.
    During the show, I pocketed two sets… a silver Mangusta and a white Miura.
    Sunday night we ferried the cars back, and I had dibs on the coolest ones! I drove both “the long way”, up and over Avon mountain on backroads I knew well… leaving lifelong impressions on 20-year-old me. Each was unique, challenging, and…”

    “You know how National Geographic will publish pictures of some crazy animal they found umpteen million feet under the sea that is amazingly cool and unlike anything you could have imagined? This Tatra is kind of like that… only better.”

    RJett commented on No Reserve: 1967 Tatra 2-603

    “As a longtime rally/driving tour enthusiast, I salivate thinking how perfect this 911 would be for some of the adventures I go on. A typical rally year for me is over 35k miles and the key is something that is a reliable workhorse, comfy on long transit miles (ie interstate travel), fun on the backroads (an absolute must), and starts every time with no hesitation.
    This G50 Carrera would be PERFECT for that. Is it the ideal aesthetics that you would want? Impossible as each person has…”

    “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.”
