“I remember filling out a postcard to get a promotional dvd for this car when i was 14. The dvd was about 5 minutes of this car doing straight line accelerations and burnouts. I watched it a ton of times. I thought it was badass then and I still do now.”

“My old GTX! What a joy to see it again, and looking so darn sharp.
Thank you for the shout Randy @BaT – I would’ve missed the listing otherwise. Time travel is fun, eh?
I bought this car in Las Vegas in 2012 after years of hunting for a good one. Even back then, they were quite rare. On the drive home to San Francisco, I took a dirt detour through Titus Canyon in Death Valley, and you can see pics from that in the original auction gallery. One of my favorite car memories of all…”

“What a neat rig with an incredible pedigree! And you won’t need to bring a trailer because it’s too precious. Just drive it home and enjoy it.
I don’t have a lot to add on top of what others have said about Harold Allen except to say that many years ago I came into a collection of his Stroppe-related photos from Ford Motor Company and I’m forever grateful for those.
I think this is the only Bronco I know of that was owned by one of Ford’s off road racing stars that has come to market in…”

He obviously cherished this BRG beauty!
Cheers!”

“The BMW 3.0 CSL is a 1970s icon. It has no equal. It’s the car upon which BMW has built its image and reputation since 1972”

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

“So, I’m 16 years old and it’s 1972 and my dad had an investment advisor come to our house. I hear a loud car approaching and it’s a Mangusta! I’d never seen one before in the flesh. Only in car magazines, and it was like a UFO landed from another planet! As a car obsessed kid since I can remember, I went outside and walked all around that car, taking in every sinuous line. When the meeting with my dad was over, the guy let me sit in the Mangusta. I remember that day like it was yesterday…”

“There are so many things in life that we want, but really don’t need !!!
I love classic time pieces and its amazing to see the value in something like a “Paul Newman Rolex Daytona” and the price someone is willing to pay to own one. Half the fun of owning something like this is coming up with an excursion to utilize it !!! We only go around this crazy world once, and spending a weekend with friends and family playing with this “toy” is worth the price of admission !!!
Very cool. I have a…”

Dean_Laumbach commented on No Reserve: 1989 Hägglunds M973A1 SUSV

“These aged so well. When new,I preferred the 300ZXTT. 30 years on, it is Supra by a mile. Although there’s much to be said about the FD RX-7, I’ll always give the nod to the car with the legendarily stout engine over the “finicky” one!”

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

“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!”

“One of America’s coolest four door sedans ever built, in a beautiful rare color, in excellent condition. Wow!”

“A rare Terminator here. Only 610 Redfire ‘verts rolled off the assembly line in ’03, and only 196 of those had the Parchment Suede seat inserts. GLWA!”

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

“Of course, the whole 250,000 Auctions Milestone was all anybody could talk about at the Grounds for Divorce. Lucinda started promoting it the minute the listing went live, offering a Two-Fer on Texas pecan pie and free Folgers to anyone who showed up wearing a Bring a Trailer T-shirt.
Hank over at the Lucky Lady Lounge had a similar promotion going, but the T-shirt had to be wet and there were considerably fewer takers. Ultimately, Earl from Earl’s Salvage Yard and Formalwear took home the…”

CaptainMyCaptain commented on Lot #250,000: 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO

“OK, I’ve been meaning to write this story for awhile now, and so now is the appropriate time to share that story.
I remember in the early 2000s when all the trade rags showed the new Mustang. they were beautiful. I would periodically go and test drive them. I remember once driving a GT with a 3.73 rear end and a 5-speed manual and that thing had some git up and go!
Where I live, they have a car show every MLK weekend. They had one of these Bullitts on display and I wanted one.…”

TL486 commented on 630-Mile 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt

“As the owner of a 73 1600 Touring, these are fun and useful with the rear seats folded down lots of cargo space they are a few inches shorter than sedans and have a more aerodynamic windshield angle. At a 02 meet up they are rare.
GLWA”

“On my dog walks about once every two weeks, only on sunny days, a 442 that looks to be identical to this car drives by me. I’ve yet to be able to check out the car up close. The sound of that car is amazing. The look of that car is amazing. snap my neck following it as it goes by. Probably one of the best looking cars in my town, and there are plenty of nice cars. These cars wear yellow really well. The tasteful black stripe accents are icing on the cake. Necking snappingly beautiful. Like…”

“The duck walks into a bar by himself and sits down on a stool.
The bartender none-too-happy walks over and stares at the duck.
The duck stares back… both glare at each other for a few moments.
No words are spoken until finally the duck speaks up and says.
Sunday’s the famers day off…”

“Ditto to that! Awesome look. Have a 93 myself and live in Austin.
Pearl Black 199 with gray interior and 120,000 miles. Have had sine 101,000 miles and about 3 years. Awesome ride.
What is the history of the car pre 2009?
How about service records?
Where was it serviced in Austin? Ben’s?
I’ll be out of town on a e500 road trip from Austin to Midwest to northeast and southeast then back early August.
This car was made for the road!
Even getting 20 mph!
Looking forward to seeing where…”
