“”…the prototype was advertised for sale in Road & Track magazine…”
Ah, yes, the Classified section of Road & Track! I whiled away much time in my youth perusing Dad’s years of R&T back issues, dreaming of one day being grown up and being able to buy one of the cars. Today, the story is the same, just perusing Bring a Trailer instead.
Beautiful car, and best of luck with your auction, @easyole!”

“My dad had a new one in 1960. People don’t realize how far ahead of American cars this big Jag was.. it handled and handled it extremely well. Actually great fun to drive fast in addition to the luxury, comfort and opulence that the car presents.”

“Lovely car! Had a Crown 327/350 while in college in NJ in early 70’s; ran 12.22 at Raceway Park, much faster than most muscle cars. Had Greenbriar 3.89 gears. Yep, finally blew the rear end. Ran smallish rear tires to limit traction. would take a friend out for a drive w/o the back cover in – most not accustomed to red hot headers and the noise a solid lifter V-8 makes. LOL. 50+ years later now drive a R8 – sort of similar but with massaging leather seats!! GLWTA!!”

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…”

“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.…”

“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.

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

“Awesome to see another very early production boss! Curious as to when it initially was sold. I own 2013 Boss 302 #0003 in grabber blue. I purchased it in March 2012 from Al Packer Whit Marsh Ford in MD. They had no idea what the production number was and of course I never mentioned it until after I purchased it, then I received a call a few weeks later asking if I’d sell it back or trade it back for another boss plus cash. I declined. I do have more miles on mine, around 9k. Drove it from NJ to…”

“Brings back wonderful memories !!
One of my best friends ordered a ‘63 Galaxie 500 XL Oxford Blue convertible with the 406/405 Tri-Power engine …By the time it arrived it had the new upgraded 427/425 Dual Quad engine..I can vividly remember the first time opening the hood and seeing those chrome valve covers marked 427-T ….I believe the “T” was for transistor ignition.
The ‘63 Galaxie has always been my favorite Ford, especially the
“R” code Fastback version.”

“A lot of the old GN racers, like me, will remember this car. Glad to see it’s still got all the original livery on it, as it’s a history making ride! Will be watching this one!”

“Beautiful example, as usual from David! Love love love love the original paint and stripes, even with blemishes here and there that attest to its lifetime of soulfulness. The R50 is such a smooooooth sweet little bike, everyone needs one! Good luck to all interested bidders, these original paint beauties don’t come around often.”

Ant5842 commented on 1967 BMW R50/2

“I know this car better than most, having owned it for seven years between 2016 – 2023 and being mostly responsible for the condition that it is presented in today. 
I have owned three DC2’s in total, they are wonderful drivers cars, for the enthusiast. 
This one however  is truly unrepeatable, it genuinely is a special car. 
when I bought the car it was unmolested, completely factory original with complete history, all keys and literature present even down to the original dealer plates…”

Jackinabox commented on 12k-Mile 1999 Honda Integra Type R

“Way back in the day, in 1963 when I was just 14 years old, there was one of these for sale at the local Skelly station. The place was a favorite hangout for many of us early teens, and the car was parked on the side of the station. It was a dark blue, light blue, and white combination as I recall, and I thought it was the coolest thing on wheels. So, I managed to drag Dad over to take a look.
I thought he might also find it cool, as he was a car guy, and I thought maybe I could get him to…”
