“Hi everyone, and welcome to the auction!
I’m excited to share my Wagon Queen Family Truckster re-creation with the Bring a Trailer community. This project represents hundreds of hours of work to capture all the quirky details of the Griswold family’s iconic road trip car from National Lampoon’s Vacation.
It was always a dream of mine to own a big American station wagon, and the Truckster felt like the ultimate expression of that dream. After the build was completed, we took the…”

“I owned one exactly like this, even the same color. For anyone on the fence, trying to decide if it’s right for you, let me offer my perspective. This is an excellent machine with so many things going for it. These are comfortable, versatile, very capable, very reliable, easy to ride, and easy to maintain. They are NOT sporty, quick, agile, exhilarating, or sexy. They are more like a tractor than a sports car. But that would be a German tractor, which means excellent engineering. (Think…”

“My first job out of high school, I worked at a Porsche dealer.
We kept a fleet of 6-8 Yugos as service loaners. We also had a fleet of Mazda 323’s. But when those were all spoken for – the customer ended up with a Yugo.
That is, unless the customer complained really loud – then I got sent to the used car lot down the road to grab an Audi or something similar for them to drive.
I could tell a lot about a person when they complained about the Yugo. On one hand, I understood they paid a lot…”

“@WIZZZZ
I met Fred at Bonneville in 1963. He had set a 2-way record the previous year at 99.06 mph with his absolutely stock Corvair Monza. I had managed to go 107 mph with my stock 61 Corvair but needed bigger tires. Fred told me that Rambler Station Wagons had 15″ wheels that would fit Corvairs. There was a little junk yard on the outskirts of Wendover, Utah right on the state border with Nevada. I went down there and found a Nash Rambler in there with two 6.40 X 15″ tires (1 was…”

“Last summer the Eastern PA Chapter of the Audi Club did it’s annual covered bridges drive and ice cream run. A very fun and spirited ~150 mile drive. I show up in my 1989 80 Quattro, my wife drove our 2001 TT 225 Roadster, and a guy I had never seen before at any Audi event shows up in one of these. Jaws dropped. He was super nice, down to earth, and had no problem with any of us getting in and checking it out.”

“This was my dream car when I was in 1st grade. I had (and still have) a Matchbox car of this car in the same color! This brings back so many great memories. Cars are a beautiful reminder of the past. @seller – thank you for bringing this to auction. Best of luck.”

“When I think about my 16 years with Penry, I often think about the adventures we went on. Here’s a little story for you….It was 2016 and I had been hired to do a show in Missoula, MT. The thought of not being able to mountain bike, camp, or play my guitar for a whole summer led me to pack him up and hit the road. I drove straight through to a friend’s house in St Paul. The next day I headed northwest to North Dakota so I could camp for a couple of days at Theodore Roosevelt National Park…”

“Ok, I am digging deep into the Archives on this one. The year is 1992 and this is my high school yearbook. My buddy’s dad had a 1987 black 911 turbo and my friends brother had a 1987 928 S4, the third one is me in my dad’s Porsche at 17 years old dreaming off the future. That picture is 34 years old and 51 year old me has it in my garage still:) This car has brought me happiness for decades and hopefully the next care taker of it will experience the same joy it has brought me and my family.”

“My dad had one of these back in the day. The drivetrain was something else. We owned it to about 250k miles before selling it on the original clutch, transmission, turbo, head gasket, diffs, etc. It’d been chip tuned the whole time to almost 300hp for most of that.
Not that it was cheap or easy to keep the rest of the car in shape around that drivetrain….but still, this was Audi at its best.”

“Hello BaT! I’m the builder and seller of this E30, and I’ll be here throughout the auction to answer any questions and provide additional photos or videos if requested.
This project began as an effort to build an electric E30 that felt like a proper driver’s car rather than simply an EV conversion. Nearly every component was selected with that goal in mind—from the Tesla Plaid drive unit and custom battery system to the suspension, brakes, and chassis upgrades.
After the build was…”

“By the time this particular Fulvia was built, Fiat had owned Lancia long enough to have begun incorporating some profit-motivated changes. I spent a lot of time at the Lancia display at the Turin Auto Show in 1972, and following that wrote an article for the LANCIANA, the American Lancia Club newsletter. Some things I noted were “…the paint and overall finish is better than ever. Suspension bits are stampings now, rather than the nice hardware that we’re used to.. Plastic clips replace the…”

“Great to see this car here on @BaT. I remember my dad and Jan putting this sale together back in the early 2000’s.
The history of the car is so well documented. Jan wanted a factory car and Al new Dr. Falk from the early days of the FOC and when the car came up it was a good fit.
I did go to Luppi personally while on a trip to Italy in 2003 to get the materials for the interior.
Reading through this listing brings back a lot of great memories.
Congratulations to whomever ends up…”

“Took the car for a spin yesterday with the owner. My track car frame of reference is a track modified GT4 and 997.1 C4 before that. What perhaps doesn’t come through in the videos is all the audible feedback. The boost comes on hard when the hammer is down, yet seems controlled when the throttle is feathered in a turn. When decelerating you get pleasant crackles and hear the excess boost being dumped. I think there is a learning curve on this car (at least for me) managing the power,…”

“I have an old family friend (89 years young) that I showed these pictures to that has been a wood carver all his life and has made some exquisite pieces of animals, custom stair cases, door frames and such using a chain saw and wood chisels and a lot of sanding. He was really impressed and spent a half hour flicking between the photos and commenting on the details presented here with the biggest smile. On our second pour of Blanton’s I joking asked him if he could do something like this and…”
