Yesterday’s comments of note You Should Know

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

“I went through the police academy in one of these back in 1997. No Crown Vic could out run or out maneuver this car when we played cops and robbers on the obstacle course. It was hands down a superior car in terms of handling and horsepower. Every time I see one I’m taken back to the driving portion of the academy. Fond memories.”

“Love that area of Wisconsin. Two of my three nephews live in Madison now – gorgeous city. We visited often when I was a kid and Pop was into camping with the Starcraft. Made many a stop at Wisconsin Dells and remember it just as you describe! Sincere condolences on the passing of your mother (and untimely/early passage of your father). It reminded me this morning to cherish whatever time I have left with the Beehive. Have a blast with the Honda – another wonderful memory machine for me – and…”

“Got to drive a Farmall of similar vintage at a friend’s property in Vermont – so much fun. And they were thrilled that I happily spent an entire afternoon mowing their enitre property, and then thanked them afterwards 😂😂
And, really – any vehicle that comes with a Mason Jar as standard equipment is worth owning.”

“Ocean Blue is an amazing color and not often do we see it. This is a great looking car and with the hardtop as a plus…. Winner will love this ride. All the Best!”

“Awesome! Thanks @cbjeep and team for saving it, but not overdoing it. I really appreciate the BaT community’s comments throughout this auction; they really helped me form a more fulsome picture of the car. The debate on condition is always entertaining, and really a personal preference thing. To me, this is as cool as it gets: a (nearly) guilt-free driver with character that’s impossible to replicate. It will look great next to Freiburger’s Disgustang!”

“Nice to see car I built in the 80sdid all metal and paint for John did what he wanted. Twisted my arm hard to modify being I like to restore to original builds. But John had a dream and I did for him. Have pictures of me doing car. Great comment tempting to want in my shop again. Would love to talk to John but believe he has passed. Maybe talk to mercuryKG7H some time. So blessed I had my hands in a beautiful fine Ferrari. Frogman.”

“This surprises me! Examples individualized to this extent and enthusiast level usually stay with their owner forever, but life moves on. Someone will be walking right into a seriously perfect M3 right off the rip!”

“OH WOW! I can (foggily) remember day dreaming about these cars in HS in 1957/58. I got chastised for drawing one on my desk calendar at my first job! I’m expecting “grandissimo” numbers from our BAT community.”

“There have been a lot of good comments on cooling and radiators.
My Griffith was upgraded with all of the mentioned modifications but nothing worked until I installed a chin spoiler under the radiator. All cars today have chin spoilers, for a reason.
Regarding cabin temperatures, my headers are ceramic coated and there is proper insulation under the carpet, keeping me cool as a cucumber, even on the hottest days.
This is all for my Griffith but a 2500M is basically the same only…”

“Every time I get off of mine, I think to myself what a great machine it is! These also look so much better than the brand new RT, at least to my eye. For prospective buyers, it’s worth knowing that BMW pays for driveshaft service every 12,000 miles, with replacement at their cost somewhere in the 36,000 mile range. It might take some time for this low mileage example to get there, but knowing they service it free is added peace of mind. I’m so impressed by my 2015.”

“These are great cars. Very nimble. Really high build quality. 2.8 is silky smooth. I bought a 99, new and still have it. I can’t bear to part with it. There are things I like about it better than all the other Audis that I have.”

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

“For those who don’t know…The 1966 Dodge Travco 27′ motorhome was important and special for its distinctive, aerodynamic fiberglass design and its role in establishing the modern Class A motorhome industry. It was a best-selling model that became an icon of 1960s RV travel.
Revolutionary design and construction
Rounded fiberglass body: Designed by Ray Frank, the founder of the original company, the Travco featured a revolutionary rounded, all-fiberglass body. This set it apart from the…”

“I’m an avid Toyota & 100 series enthusiast and owner since new. I bought an 03 LC new & traded it in for an 06 LX and never looked back. The VVT was a big improvement for me. The 06 & 07 are by far the most desirable and the ones you want to buy. The LX has a much more luxurious feel and is better insulated, no doubt about it. It is very easy to tell if these cars were neglected or cared for and this is the best one I’ve ever seen. GLWS”

“This is my old car that I built about 13 years ago. I have kept up with all of the subsuent owners and all the work done after my ownership has been top notch. It looks like they did a spectacular job on the paint and interior refresh. There were multiple issues with the original engine so the new powerplant was a solid move. If I hadn’t just bought my dream spec 7 year long BRG on saddle E39 M5 touring build, I would certainly be a bidder here. Good luck to the seller and all bidders! I am…”
