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

    “Rusty Hammer had always known where he fit.
    Thirty years behind the same counter in the same hardware store in Fort Stockton will do that to a man. He was the one folks came to when something broke. Hinges, pipes, doors that wouldn’t close right. Rusty had an answer for all of it.
    Until one morning, he didn’t.
    It wasn’t dramatic. Just him standing in the hinge aisle, staring at shelves he’d stocked a thousand times, realizing he couldn’t remember why any of it…”

    “Also nice that they kept it in original Lime Gold. Probably only half the cars produced still in this wonderful color. My buddy just repainted his back to original Lime Gold after 40 years being Wimbledon white.”

    “My hats off to the builder of this 55. Seldom do I see a car that has had all the body work done properly. Take note people, when you take it down to bare metal you’re doing a great job and less likely to have a chemical reaction from previous paint jobs. With the body having a top notch job you know that the rest of the car was built right.”

    “Man, already at $4M before I could get my comment in….
    I want to thank the team at BaT for bringing us so far. It is amazing to cross the quarter million auctions milestone together.
    And a big thank you to the @1600veloce team for helping us mark the occasion with this beautiful 288. Anthony gets so much well-deserved credit, but it takes the whole team there to do the amazing things they do.
    And maybe my favorite part of BaT is that Lot #250,001, right behind this one, is a…”

    “I want to send a big congrats to the team @BaT for 250,000 listings! Kudos again to the team behind the scenes!
    Our team was so proud to be a part of this journey.
    @bringatrailer Randy I want to thank you for all the support and the fun ideas we have bounced off each other all these years. This listing like any listing, can be a bumper for an MG to a Halo Ferrari. It all belongs here. The best site, the best community.
    We discussed what type of car we would want to list. Well here…”

    “These cars were so ahead of their time. Supercharged, intercooled, 4 wheel discs with ABS, IRS with adaptive damping, even pneumatic adjustable side bolsters. I still have my 35th anniversary 5 speed version, and it remains a pleasure to drive unlike most crude live axle domestics of the era.”

    “Any compact two door wagon is cool in its own right and being a Stude ensures it’ll be the only one anywhere it goes. What’s most unique and exciting about this rarity though is the engine build. I had no idea there was an array of speed equipment for the flathead six, particularly to the level of a high compression aluminum head. Reading the attached Cathcart article (from 1999!) suggests at least 140HP from this little 169ci flattie. It’s got to be a light car, I’m guessing under 3K lbs…”

    “This Mangusta is a great opportunity! I can say this because I owned it prior to Oliver. My shop Grand Touring (grandtouring.com) has considerable experience with almost every Italian exotic. (Recently, we even had two Vallelungas in the shop simultaneously). I searched for quite some time looking for a solid no stories Mangusta for my personal collection. I was excited to find it and never planned to part with it. Regrettably, I needed to part with it to raise cash when the building next…”

    “Thank you all for the responses! This car has been in my family since the mid 90’s and one that I fell in love with the moment my Grandfather brought it home. As a kid I use to sit in the back seat and watch him drive it (amazed at how his hands and feet would move) and whenever it was parked I would sit behind the wheel and pretend to drive it myself. When I finally turned 16 he taught me how to drive and although there were many frustrating moments for him and I in this car we both would love…”

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

    “Funny story – I was trying to find a correct new radiator cap for the TR4. I had gotten one from a British parts supplier, but it didn’t fit correctly. I grabbed my identical radiator from my project TR4 and went to the local parts stores to see what they had. Total strikeout. I went to Panda Express with TR4 radiator caps on my mind and got this fortune cookie. I immediately sent a picture of it to my wife saying “Looks like I’m getting another car!”.”

    “Anyone buying an RX7 that’s been sitting for a long time should assume it needs apex seals unless proven otherwise. The dash and radio are lit up in some pics, so the car has electrical power. I’m guessing lack of power is the result of a few horses escaping the engine bay.
    This FD is quite tempting. I have a few solutions for lack of power sitting in the corner of the shop ;)”

    “I own a higher mileage AZ-1 just like this. It is awesome. Obviously the new owner will likely keep this stock, but upgrading the suspension to the Navic coilovers and adding a stiffer roll bar front and back dramatically changed the handling. It went from leaning SUV in the corners to go-kart. Just my 2 cents.”
