    “I love that this has 19k miles. Someone has actually enjoyed it. 500+hp in late 80s/early 90s must have felt like you were on top of the world. Even by today’s standards, 500hp is still very enjoyable.”

    “Hopefully the new owner can get in touch with Bobby and get a picture alongside the car, It would be worth the drive or plane ticket! This is a once in a lifetime auction.”

    “Nobody paid much attention when the old Dodge arrived.
    A 1970 Dodge Polara Police Pursuit sedan painted in authentic black and white with a 440 Magnum under the hood wasn’t exactly subtle. Long, square-jawed, and purposeful, it looked ready to issue citations despite having been retired for decades. Still, at Fort Stockton’s annual Classic Car Roundup, it found itself parked between a candy-apple red Corvette and a turquoise Thunderbird convertible. Compared to chrome and tailfins, an old…”

    “Thanks gang! A bit numb…
    Promise to take great care of it. Lots of VW in my past but I won’t bore you other than to say this one wraps them all into one, and erases all regret for every sale (including my last…a Corrado in ‘04)
    To all the caretakers and @seller…Thank You!”

    “My Dad had a ‘61 in this color and with roof rack. VW advertised they would float. I was 15 and a friend and I tried to drive it in a local reservoir that was just being impounded. It did float but wouldn’t steer and bogged down due to back pressure. Crawled out window and pushed it back to shore. Cranked it watching pea shooters squirt water. It cranked up. We drove it until the floorboards were dry. Did not tell Dad until 10 years later. He couldn’t kill me then, I had kids of my own”

    “Styling of this era Accord still looks fresh to my eyes. If it ends up on display at a Honda dealer showroom, will it make customers think, “God, new cars sure are ugly now.” But then again, I may be biased. My daily drivers are 35-year old Hondas.”

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

    “So an observation of a very obscure Honda factoid. This car has the dealer installed, recall program Takata black plastic guides still in place on the front seat belt latches. The Honda and Acura recall notice back then stated there were complaints about the front seat belts not latching properly. This was Takata’s solution. There was a rumor published at the time saying Honda’s president attributed the problem to us Americans spilling our soft drinks into the latches. Funny, he was…”

    “As a Viper enthusiast, I’ve always found myself drawn to the unique, well-optioned examples, particularly the cars that came through the GTC 1 of 1 program.
    I tend to break the Gen V ACRs into three general categories. First are the more race-focused 3-speaker ACRs, with 456 produced. Second are the factory Special Editions — GTS-R, VooDoo II, Snakeskin, 1:28 and Dealer Edition — which account for 214 cars in total. Finally, there are the 290 GTC ACRs, a little over 100 of which…”

    “Too bad the days of cheap, simple, practical, reliable 4 bangers without screens and a bunch of annoying tech are gone. An endangered species indeed. GLWTA!”

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

    “Worked at Scottsdale Ferrari in the 90’s. We found two Daytona Spyder’s in an airplane hangar in Mexico. One orange, one was chocolate brown metallic. Both had the same color interior as this one. One had 3,500 miles, the other had 1,800 miles. Yes, they were legit Spyders.
    The owner kept talking about stripping them to paint them red. I am unsure if he did but thinking about it makes me sad. From what I was able to find, only 2 were built in orange and 2 in brown. Sure hope they were…”

    “In 1988, I laid my hands on something extraordinary: a 1983 Audi 5000 Turbo-Diesel Automatic cloaked in liquid sunshine—Gold Metallic paint so bright it could blind pigeons mid-flight, with an interior swaddled in coffee-brown leather, the color of an expensive cigar lounge.
    Now, most people saw trouble. It had a head gasket leak—a deal breaker for the faint of heart. But me? I had a mate inside the Audi dealership who whispered, “They don’t want to fix it. They’re tossing it.” For…”
