“Besides the provenance of RH and HA, this is an awesome spec – ’71 with Stroppe installed power steering and auto with lettered adapter. Exciting to have and driving the 4 turn steering offroad is awesome. Ask me how I know.”

“WOW! I’m exhausted. Congratulations ttscout. I hope it meets all your expectations and then some. Excited to work with you to get the details done.
Thank you for all the comments, questions, compliments and interest.
I’ve now been on both sides of a BAT auction. Both are equally exciting, fun and nerve wracking. I need a beer.”

“Lauterbach hulls are indeed special as is the family. Thanks for the heads up about the book and reunion. If there was a way to get to the event it sure would be fun.
Back in the 1970’s on Seattles Green Lake were some special times. We would sit on the beach with a battery operated B&W 2 inch TV screen watching Indy and at the same time enjoy the boat races. Some hard core racing with Larry Lauterbach and then Tom D’Eath piloting Lauterbach hulls against John Leach’s Buccaneer.…”

“My great grandmother was one of the first VW owners in Montana. I think she was on her third VW when she purchased one just like this, same color, in 1962-63, from the dealer in Butte. By this time, my great grandfather had stopped driving, so she drove them everywhere. One road trip took them west to Seattle, down through San Francisco and finally to Phoenix before heading back home via the Grand Canyon and other sights. Quite an adventure–but just one of many–for two old fuddies in a…”

“One of my long-time car friends is a national champion level modeler. When my wife and I married his wedding gift to us was a custom-built diorama of a C-Type Jaguar at le Mans. Remains my second favorite gift from the wedding (my wife’s unending love is the most favorite).
There have been far too many years passed since I build a car or airplane model. I have quite a few unbuilt kits on the shelf, I need to either get building or move them along.”

“I almost bought one of these in silver blue 45+ years ago but my dog could not stand up in the back so I bought a used Audi Fox wagon (think VW Dasher) instead.
I’m excited to have this opportunity to own one now. I was impressed with the Sellers response and candid video talk. I’m unsure if I’ll meet the Seller but I want to thank you.
Lee”

“Like others, hopefully you will take this to the Historics and let it eat! I spectate and enjoy getting to see the first car I ever drove on a road course – the #78 Boss 302 Matthews car that you would be running with if you go. The guy that restored it barely knew me and still let me run it in the Cobra Club novice group around 35 years ago now that I think about it! Changed my life – drag raced one more time after that before putting fat tires all around on my 70 Fastback 🙂 Guy that has…”

“I’ve seen these cars in person when they were new at Straman’s over next to the Orange County Airport. The workmanship is superb. No one believes me when I say that there was a convertible CRX.
More importantly than that, no one believes there was EVER a teddy bear wheel made for any car – and I’ve told stories about them on a Volkswagen Cabriolet I once had. I have only ever seen ONE at a tire dealer. Never a complete set.
This car embodies every story I’ve ever told about cars made of…”

“The Gumball Rally Cobra S/N 3243 had been stored for years until around 2013. Sitting next to it was a 289 Comp.Car. Both came back into the sunlight.

I have photos of CSX3243 in January of 2014 at the shop of an incredible Pebble Beach restoration mechanic and a dear friend.

“I was in charge of the 427 crate engine program western region for GM parts this is absolutely perfect!! Example with nothing missing and also has the extremely rare jacket that not too many customers ordered once you purchase the engine you would submit your jacket size also the correct year GM performance parts catalogs also photo 29 that’s my handwriting on the serial written by hand the warranty paper perfect example I can’t think of a more complete kit with nothing missing !!! If anybody…”

“In my opinion, the original, first series “sports saloon” Jaguars are the purest and best. These are the ones you will see at Goodwood! I love the center instrument cluster, like the XK cars. I also think the smaller windows and extra wood interior appointments work extremely well with these cars. OK, the far more commonly surviving MK 2 cars are just fine in their own right, but just like in the consideration of the E type evolving variations, I remain firmly in the first original series…”

“Welcome to my first BaT listing! You might be surprised to see it’s a Dart, not a Valiant, but I have a thing for all A-body Mopars. I’m listing this cool Dart for a friend as I suggested putting it on BaT and he is not as familiar with the way it goes.
I’ve known the car for some years and from the first time I saw it have been admiring the details and workmanship. The owner/builder is a talented fabricator, machinist and welder. Anyone who has seen my comments here probably realizes I…”

“The childhood memories are strong with this one! GM Design did an excellent job of evolving the colonnade coupes for Buick and Oldsmobile toward the sheer look that began with the ’75 Seville. The Cutlass was the best selling car in the USA in 1976 with nearly 500K units produced. A neighbor had one in this color with bucket seats and I was thrilled to get a ride now and then. This interior is bonkers peak ’70s — I thought the “geometric weave” loose pillow luxe upholstery was only available…”

“In 1967, my dad informed me that he had purchased, with my savings, 1960 Falcon with 60K miles for $325.00.
While it would not have been my choice, I was excited to enter the world of independence from walking, bicycling and public transportation.
The 144 ci engine didn’t last long with my heavy foot and the constant diet of re-refined oil I fed it from our local Site gas station.
I found a 260 at the junk yard and that was a great improvement.
The original radiator did not like the 260, so…”
