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

    “Where was I in ‘’62?
    Shopping for my first new car ..In those golden years of American muscle cars my choices were daunting …Chevy 409/409, Ford 406/405, Pontiac 421/405, Dodge/Plymouth 413/420.
    I ruled out the Mopars for their very quirky looks. Our family car was a ‘60 Bonneville convertible so I was leaning toward the Pontiac but my local dealer was reluctant to sell me what was considered an all out race car. After much haggling I ordered a 421/405 SD but it was late summer and…”

    “What a nice old car, I love survivors – they are 10x harder to find than a restored example, and this one, in THE most desirable closed body style; a Club Sedan with the blind quarter panels, is fantastic ! As the owner of a very similar ‘36 Packard – also in original paint, pinstripe and plating, but a convertible coupe, I can certainly appreciate this one, and I love it with the black wall tires, tho I’d look for some one size larger. Was there ever a radio installed ? Doesn’t appear to…”

    “I love brown cars, probs because my mom’s car when I was a kid was a 1970 Tobacco Brown MB 250 base model. No A/C, but it did have a sunroof. I learned how to drive in that car by driving it across the USA when we moved from Cleveland to Colorado Springs in 1977 on a learner’s permit. CB radio keeping contact with my dad in the 1970 Ford Country Squire pulling the Argosy 26′ travel trailer. Memories baby, that’s what cars are.”

    “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.
    Chuck Bail really did it right using Daytona Spyder’s, A/C Cobra’s and recording sounds with Parabolic mikes. There will never be another. Sold my Spyder and…”

    “When folks look at my Ford GT, I tell ’em, the most amazing thing about this car is that little blue oval on the front………. It’s a Ford!!!”

    “I love these so very much, and that winter scene photo reminded me of a similar photo of a friend’s rally race car fairly well burried in the snow after sliding a little too wide in a corner.”

    “This 6-series Packard has been a goal to own one – of my Dad and I – our whole lives and finally hope to obtain. This would be for me to enjoy for my retirement.”

    “I own a 1938 Flying Squirrel. The engine number is one digit away from this bike and the frame number is two digits away. When I contacted the Scott Club Registry to authenticate my bike I was advised that 220 Flying Squirrels were produced (500cc and 600cc versions combined) in 1938. The whereabouts of 101 were known. Of those, twenty had the redesigned detachable head as does this bike. GLWTS”

    “I own an’07 Miata. Nothing goes wrong. Maintenance is inexpensive. It’s a total blast to drive top down. New owner here is gonna be happy with the value he/she gets for the $ spent. These are simply GREAT vehicles. GLWTA”

    Awesome ride to take to a track on weekends & I’d do school drop off during the week.”

    “@68Vet
    Baja California and back to Sacramento in a slant six Dart? That is an absolute adventure and proof positive that these cars were built for exactly that kind of journey. No drama, no breakdowns, just mile after mile of honest reliable transportation through some pretty unforgiving terrain. That slant six was one of the toughest engines ever bolted into an American car and your story is a perfect reminder of that.
    Thank you for sharing that memory and for the kind words. That is…”

    “As a sidebar to this 250,000th auction listing, yesterday at the Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance, BaT Co-Founder Randy Nonnenberg, spoke at length for the entrants and attendees about the phenomenon that brought about what we are experiencing here — how it began and how it evolved. It’s a fascinating story of insight, risk and reward that’s about as “American” as anything can be.
    On the field were a number of “BaT Auction” sales as well as sellers, commenters and attendees who read the…”

    “Pontiac sure had some pretty cars in the Sixties. They’ve aged well too. Great to see two Pontiac B Bodies with three pedals on BaT in the same week… how unusual is that?
    This car would have a circle of admirers at every Cars and Coffee you drove it to… elegant and much less common than the A Body cars of the era. Truly the “executives’ hot rod” especially with a four-speed.
    Wonderful car… :-)”

    “We have been overwhelmed by the positive reaction and comments on the Black Shadow and our shop. I wish I could say it was all me but it is not. Jack Wilson told me ” you can’t do it all by yourself” . This maybe the best advice he ever gave me because I have two dedicated and talented mechanics that combined have been here 40 plus years. I also have several longtime sub contractors and suppliers that are reliable and understand our commitment to the motorcycles we work on.

    “This looks like a great, honest Porsche 911T Coupe 5-speed. Yes, all U.S.-delivered cars came with MFI, while ROW models had carburetors.
    This example appears to be a very untouched, original car with all the right period-correct parts, and a rare specification, leather interior, and factory A/C. It has a really nice patina, and a 1972 T in this kind of condition is becoming increasingly rare. These make fantastic driver’s cars.
    When the time comes to rebuild the engine, it’s a great…”
