“If you told me I would pull-up BaT today and there would be a 6-wheeled EcoSport for sale, I would have sent you to rehab. I’m speechless.”

Fatalvenom commented on No Reserve: Custom Six-Wheeled 2019 Ford EcoSport Titanium

“A very special car here. This is one of the original World’s Fair batch of 60 Mustang GTs Ford built for the 1965 New York World’s Fair, the cars that introduced the GT package to the press and the first ones that rolled off the line. On April 15, 1965, all 60 were lined up together. Henry Ford II, Lee Iacocca, and Don Frey rolled past the row. The cars then went to journalists for a 10-day press evaluation. After that they were returned to Ford and sold as demos. About 20 of the original…”

“Starting in 2023 these cars are turbocharged only it runs the 3gen erad rear diff that is constantly engaged compared to the clutch style of the previous model which could disconnect when not needed. The fun part is that if you are driving electric only you are rwd with instant torque.
I trekked down from Seattle to Cali for. ‘24 with 4k miles on it. It’s my daily commuter and plugging it in at home I have only topped off the gas tank once in 2 months.
Anyone that is considering these…”

“In the 1980s you could recognize these headlights at night in your rearview mirror, next you’d start hallucinating as your mind waited for the light bar to ruin your evening. Other symptoms included cold sweats, shortness of breath and upset stomach. Whew”

Craven commented on 1983 Plymouth Gran Fury Police Car

“I painted this Truck when I worked at GM Linden NJ plant. These were added as a last minute model to our regular S10 line up. The GM plant in Brazil was making these for years. We borrowed some tooling mods and were able to produce these for the US market.”

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

“I worked at a Toyota dealership detailing cars when these came out. People hated the color back then! The dealership marked $5k off all of them on the windshield and had a $500 bonus commission for the salespeople if they could sell them. Now…it’s maybe the hardest color to come by and highly sought after. Interesting how things change.”

“Wow! What a lovely monster! Given there are more dirt roads than paved in Nevada and given the fact this truck has been driven 220K miles, it is obvious that whoever owned the truck loved it enough to take meticulously good care of it. I keep telling myself I don’t need a truck this big but every time I look at the photos I have this irrational desire to hit the “bid” button!”

Atomic_Tomcat commented on No Reserve: 1993 Ford F-350 XLT 7.5L 4×4

“@200mph Garner actually drove while shooting the Grand Prix and in the Rockford Files. The F1 drivers at the time said that he could have been a professional driver and he drove the Firebird during stunts (ex. J-Turns) better than the professionals, so they let him do it. Even with 2 bad knees.”

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

“Absolutely wild that this is an original owner car. I have to imagine that it’s very difficult to part with it after all of this time. Best of luck with the sale, it’s beautiful, and clearly has been loved.”

OvenRude commented on Original-Owner 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe 6-Speed

“I wake up today a little sad knowing that I have to part ways with my old girl. But I’m also excited knowing that someone out there is going to be able to take her in, put her to work and enjoy everything she has to offer.”

Willwya23 commented on No Reserve: 37-Years-Owned 1965 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe

“Absolutely gorgeous car. This auction will provide some needed distraction in between shoveling and the playoff games. :). GLWA”

MarkDK commented on 2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R M-Spec Nür

“43 years of ownership is amazing. And the tii looks like a really nice survivor. What a cool old bimmer.”

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

“I own the cloth top twin to this car (same year same color) . As I’ve commented before, other cars come and go from the fleet but not the Miata. Why? First: Bulletproof reliability. Nothing goes wrong. Certainly one of the finest engines Mazda ever made. Second: It’s a total blast to drive top-down. Third: It’s not a 911 or a Ferrari but it doesn’t pretend to be. At a fraction of their cost (and headaches) it’s just a tremendous value for the money”

Spider_Mike commented on 35k-Mile 2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata Grand Touring PRHT 6-Speed

“As a former Saab dealer, I’ve only seen 2 of these cars in this color. Ruby red is very rare (like hens teeth) and should bring all the money. I’m in Florida now. If it were closer I’d buy it in a heart beat!”

Captainclink commented on 36k-Kilometer Euro 1993 Saab 900 S Convertible 5-Speed

“I have ridden in this car for well over 500 miles. I was a Speed Six fan exclusively for decades. After doing the Bentley tour in this vehicle I am now an 8 Liter fan over the Speed Six. I regularly tour in Model J’s, Packard 12’s, V-16 Cadillacs, and this car makes all the others look under powered by comparison. Simply put this is the best pre war car I have ever had the privilege to experience. The car runs and drives perfectly. Doesn’t overheat. Starts hot or cold easily. Fully sorted…”

“Just so anyone watching this knows, the “Chip” referenced in the records as a prior owner in the story of this car is my father. This car is coming home”

Crandy commented on 1970 Porsche 911E Coupe 5-Speed

“Hard to imagine that this stunning body style only lasted 3 years. Peak GM sculpting straight out of mid century Detroit. Whew”

15

Craven commented on 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS

“Just stunning. Hard to imagine today that these were once just considered cars and converted to race cars and sometimes trucks! I read where a wealthy widow donated her late husband’s for scrap to support the war effort.”
