“I am in love. The opalescent paints that Jaguar used during this era are some of the best looking colors ever produced – almost like late ‘50s Detroit colors, but more delicate. Good luck with this auction, but with a car this good looking, I don’t think you need luck!”
“Thanks to all for the congrats We live in Oregon and this was always my wives dream car”

“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”

“What an amazing, beautiful and rare example! One of the best driving videos featured in a long time. Thank you for driving this with gusto, living vicariously may be the only way most of us experience this!”

“Son of the late owner here. My dad found and imported this car (and a few others, including the recent Woodie Fiat Topolino on BaT). He had a collection of several dozen vintage European cars, including many Ferraris, Alfa’s, Lancia, Fiats, Porsches, etc. He was a perfectionist when it came to cars and became more interested in hot rods like this one as time went on because they were more fun to drive on the gorgeous NY back roads. The car would have received /anything/ recommended by Frank…”

“Thanks for a good battle @camarojamie This car will remain as it sits with just a thorough mechanical restoration. This thing will be back on CA roads in a few months!”

“I just want to say that this car has brought so many good moments to my husband and I through the years. So many shout outs……fun at car shows…..he drove it to our wedding….we rode home in it after. It’s been a part of most of our life celebrations in some way. He passed away this year and it feels time to let someone else make a memory with it. Whomever gets it, I hope you enjoy it as much as we have ❤️”

“Anyone with the wrenching skills and the work space could have a lot of fun with this. Forget show car status, this is a drive it while you play with it diamond in the rough. First, pay the bucks to get an expert diagnosis of the issues. The interior looks more than serviceable so just get it running right…not perfect, just safely drivable. You now have a great project (father and son?) that will constantly reward your efforts. Take your time going through the mechanical needs…then move on…”

“All of a sudden it’s 2003, I’m in my parents’ living room putting Need for Speed Underground into my Gamecube. I’ve got a Focus with green underglow and nitrous. It’s built to dominate the circuit races, but I need a better car for drifting. My dad helps me with some of the tougher races – we’re gonna watch some Monster Garage after we get a few races in.
Shoot… I might just go into my own living room now and pop the game into the Gamecube. For old time’s sake.”

“For reference, the H2R is capable of pushing speeds well over 225, with some claims upwards of 250 mph, while cranking out almost 330 hp. The supercharger has to spin almost 10 times faster than the crank, so at full rev the impeller is spinning approximately 130,000 rpm and pumping over 50 gallons of compressed air into the motor every second. It was designed and developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries’ aerospace division.
Impressive engineering, don’t you think?”

“This model was developed as a competition Enduro machine with the help of John Penton, who rode one to the AMA National Enduro Championship in 1969, it’s first year of production. Malcom Smith also earned a gold medal with one in the ISDT. Unlike the Cross and other HVA models, it did not have a fully floating rear brake. Riders preferred the Cross models for desert racing. For the Baja, Smith ran the 8-Speed in a Cross chassis.
@T100SC 8-speed cases are easily recognizable, with a…”

A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“These were never intended to remain stock, much like the ’66 427 Fairlanes coming without a Trac-Lok rear diff. These were intended to have headers and a bigger Holley mounted by the owner to let the big fella breathe, and once you do that, there’s no comparison between a BOSS ‘9 and any Cobra Jet 428 or 429, even with the same mods done to them.”

“I owned one of these (85, Black with a manual) back when they were relatively new and I absolutely loved the car.
The car was so much fun to drive and was totally at home on the highway.
Being a young guy living in Seattle during the 80’s and really into the music scene (which was on fire back then) friends and I frequently traveled up and down I-5 checking out the music in different cities and we always took the Merk.
I remember one time leaving Seattle late at night heading towards…”

“I have had many 105 series cars: GTV’s, Scalino’s, Giulia’s, a Spider and many Berlina’s. Years ago the Berlina’s, due to low value, served as donors for the 2L engine and limited slip diff. The styling is not a dramatic as the other 105 series cars, however driving them they hold as the best of the range! I love the 2L dash and driving at night…as the lighting in the dash is activated by a separate button…which makes the beautiful white dails light up! It’s a spacious comfortable fast…”

“A ton of period chrome doo dads added to this bike. I can see both sets of floor boards, all hand controls, grips, shifter pegs and foot brake, fork lowers, crash bars, most of the case covers, and others I might not be seeing. That dual exhaust alone was probably $1k. That’s what we did to these bikes back in the day!”

“In ’68 my mom drove a ’65 impala… I remember sitting, well standing, behind pretending to cruise. Somehow I slipped it in N and rolled backwards into the street… I remember mom running out of the laundry mat in her feather hat and night robe… ha ha… I also remember sleeping in the rear window on long journeys. Different times! I was 4”

“I remember seeing these at the Buick dealer in Jamestown , NY. Soon to be just a Honda dealer. Well equipped at base price, and hard to get one.[1976].
I moved back to Washington DC, in mid 78. By fall of 1979, i ordered a [Catherine] brown base car, from a dealer in Fredericksburg VA, which I realized ,after 5 months, was never going to come in. While visiting the local huge dealer in Arlington, I saw a Red LX. I asked if I might buy it for sticker, and the salesmen agreed. Signed the buyers…”
