“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…”

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

“I did the rear disc conversion on this truck many years ago. It was done using front hubs (bolt right on) and RRC /DI rear rotors and calipers. I never liked the way Land Rover cheaped out on the factory rear Salisbury disc setup by using the narrow drive flanges with short splines that strip out easily and short spindles with narrow spaced bearings… That’s why I used to do it this way, retaining the far better wide drive flanges and longer axle spline engagement, with wet splines. The…”

“When I was a kid, I remember overhearing a conversation between my mom and dad about it being time for a new car. Final words to my dad were “I don’t care what it is as long as it’s a station wagon!’. Boy, just imagine if he had come home with this one!!”

“I use to own that car. I bought it from the original owner who owned it in Sacramento California. When I sold it through a Ferrari shop located in San Mateo it went back east . At the time it still had it’s original paint and by looking at the pictures I think it still does.. I had both seats redone in the original material that I obtained from Italy.. i remember the car well. ( I designed the battery closing panel as I could not find back then an original battery cover.. The car never had…”

“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.”

“As a young couple we had a 1964 122sw from Massachusetts was which perfect given my tip income as a student & bartender. We ran it until the 225,000 mile mark and sold it for more than we paid for it. This restoration corrects for all of my Volvos obsolescence or weaknesses; larger engine; better fuel delivery; rust remediation, nice interior and respectable paint job. This one is a keeper! Thanks for posting.”

“congratulation to the new owner. as mentioned i am the third owner of this car and i am in many of the pictures with the car from the 80s. including pictures taken at Bloomington when the car was awarded a gold certificate. I enjoyed seeing those pictures again, have not seen them in decades.”

addictedtojunk commented on 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe L88 427/430 4-Speed

“Several years ago (well, maybe more than several!) I was offered a ride-along slot taking notes on the road trial of a 288 GTO which had just been serviced for a prominent collector here in MD. Midway through the loop, which was about thirty miles on various roads, we merged onto a local interstate at about 90 mph. The driver then floored it, the turbos spooled up, and at 90+ mph the tires chirped and the car rocketed forward, pushing us both back in our seats. I’ll remember that, always- at…”

E30M3Scott commented on 1988 BMW M3

“As soon as I saw the lead photo when this listing went live, I wondered if this was the same car I saw at Radwood Detroit a few years ago. Your early comment — and digging back through my pictures — confirmed my memory! You’ve done a great job preserving this awesome artifact of the ’90s era.
I had a ’94 GT 5-sp. in Teal Mist, and whenever I see one of these pop up on BAT, I’m tempted to jump in and try to relive my 20s. Subsequent cars I’ve owned have been faster and more…”

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

“WOW! I am speechless. what an incredible auction full of passionate enthusiasts. I’m humbled by it all, and so incredibly happy to see that people recognize the hard work and love I put into this car — and also the obvious appreciation of the goldilocks nature of the 987.2 2.9L.
thank you to everyone who commented and bid, and especially thanks and congratulations to @D4307. you’re getting a truly incredible car!
I’ll be in pain seeing it go, but as Epictetus said: never say of anything…”

“I have fond memories enjoying this car before selling it to J Seminetta years ago… It’s one of many I wish I never sold! It’s great to see it so well maintained
and cared for all these years. Killer Car! The new owner will love it.”

“Gorgeous! I drove an ‘85 all through college in the ‘90s. Even through the Michigan winters. So many fun times in that car! I sold it with around 150,000 miles on it. Years later i ran into the woman that bought it. She had 220,000 miles on it. Fenders were falling apart with rust. But that in-line 6 still ran like a top!”

“It is hard to imagine now how many of these cars were basically abandoned when gas approached $1.00 a gallon in the late 70s. I bet many people wish they had their old hemi cars now.”
