“Good evening everyone and welcome to our latest Premium, Exclusive, Bring-A-Trailer Auction!
For our many Mercedes-Benz fans and AMG aficionados, you are in for a rare and very special treat!
AMG built just 35 of these scarce, pre-merger, treasures and 25 of them were immediately scooped up by the Sultan of Brunei and never to be seen again…
This is just one of the ten built, that were snuck out to private collections to come our way and the first to come from an original…”

“One of VERY few factory supercharged Saleen’s from 1993. And people talk about 93 Cobras being rare…pffft. factory Supercharged Saleen Foxbody has entered the chat…. No disappointments here. A great car that I have personally been around and driven. Best of luck to all bidders and the seller. Mark has the good stuff!!”

“Rare and eerily beautiful.
I saw one of these driving down our main street years ago when the rear door opened and the coffin slid out and kept rolling down the street. People tried to slow it down but no luck. Finally a clerk from the local drug store ran out, caught up to the speeding casket and sprayed Robitussin all over it.
Boy did that ever stop the coffin.”

“Congratulations @vettboy1 !!!! You’ve just landed an incredible Family Truckster. I hope it brings you as many smiles, memories, and adventures as it did for me and my family. Enjoy the ride to Wally World!
A huge thank you to everyone who followed along, bid, and left such kind comments throughout the auction! I really enjoyed talking about the car and laughing at all the movie quotes. I hope the Truckster continues to bring joy and smiles in its next chapter. Cheers to all of you, this…”

“My grandparents bought a Yugo new (I want to say it was a 1987). I was about 13 or 14 years old, few years later my single parent mom working 3 jobs to raise 3 kids needed a “reliable” car and bought the Yugo from my grandparents. I was 16 or 17 by now and getting into my driving days. The Yugo manual transmission is the car that I learned in. After I got my license, I drove the car often and one day rolled through an intersection and crashed into an old lady. I was devastated that I wrecked my…”

Willettfanboy commented on No Reserve: 1990 Yugo Cabrio 5-Speed

“I saw this car in person at a show several years back, this is a very well kept and well curated example that presents at least as nice in person as it does in photos.
A notchback 900 is on my list of Saabs to own, I don’t care if it’s a 2 or 4 door. I’m hoping one day I’ll come across another admiral blue over blue cloth sedan like I had in college.”

Handsofstone commented on 77-Mile 1987 Buick Grand National

“Art on wheels – no wonder Enzo was so smitten….
As a kid, RW 77 was frequently parked next to my mum’s Healey 3000 outside the Horse & Groom in Alresford, Hants and thiks early fascination with the E was firmly planted in this kid’s brain. Subsequent personal involvement with John Coombs’ lightweight E Types at Goodwood only served to deepen the lifelong fascination and appreciation of these automotive masterpieces. This is a stellar example and you cannot replace history….”

Guido36 commented on Ex-Works 1961 Jaguar XKE Series I 3.8 Coupe

“May be the best car Ford ever made. My son had one, and it was bullet proof, as well as comfortable. Nice and simple to, you can actually see the alternator, and belts. Sorry they don’t make them like this anymore. Just and Old Geezer remembering the Good Old Days.”

mrliquidity commented on Supercharged 6.2L LT5-Powered 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

“I’ve seen this beauty in person, and let me tell you—it’s been meticulously maintained and absolutely babied. The owner has taken incredible care of it, keeping it spotless inside and out. Everything runs smoothly, looks sharp, and feels road-ready without a worry. If you’re looking for a motorhome that’s been treated with pride and attention to detail, this one is a rare find. You won’t just be buying a rig—you’ll be getting peace of mind knowing it’s been loved and cared for…”

Mathew1 commented on 2022 Entegra Cornerstone 45W

“What a lovely, and well driven example! Tasteful mods, and miles and miles of future enjoyment for the next lucky owner. I’ve owned my 97 C4S for 15 years, she just rolled 135k, up from 63k at acquisition. These cars are just such an experience, just so immensely satisfying to drive…and to own.
Good luck to the seller, and fair notice to potential bidders….well sorted, long term owner, well “driven” 993’s are more scarce by the year. This car will continue to turn heads, and…”

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

“in 1979 I was working at the old Hughes Aircraft facility in Culver City – right on the ocean where the Spruce Goose was built. We were building the F18 radar there and one of the most experienced radar engineers was Lee Spalding, USC trained, grew up in Gardena and lived in PalosVerdes, He had one of these. It was his daily driver and it had a great deal of miles on it – all original. During the winter he was having trouble with it running – he did all of the work – and we discussed the…”

“This car was in our family from 1987-2001, I restored it for my Dad while going to college, went 10.60’s with a 440 when we had it. Neat to see it again.”

Discoquik commented on 1962 Plymouth Savoy 2-Door Sedan Super Stock Max Wedge 3-Speed

“I used to own this car in the late 80’s early 90’s. the first owner Dave McKenna told me that Chrysler engineers told him that Chrysler used the thinnest gauge metal to stamp out the entire bodies of the Maxwedge cars making them about 400LBS lighter than the production model Savoys. We wighed this car at the race track and it weighed 3250Lbs a little more than our 70 340 Duster. Most people were unaware of this slight of hand. Chevy, Ford and Pontiac weighed 3800-4100Lbs in 62 giving the…”

iFlyer commented on No Reserve: Ex–Vin Diesel 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Limousine by Avorza

“A story to make your day.
In 1983 reading an Automotive News, an ad taken out had a Lamborghini Countach for sale in Middle East, 35K US.
Hard to complete the purchase, Mersk shipping, import, bonds, DOT, EPA etc. While this was going,
This dignitary sent pictures of dozens of other Ferrari’s, Lamborghini’s, Rolls Royce’s etc. sitting in sand cover lots. Even a P-51 sitting in a park. Seems almost like when cars ran out of gas they were just parked!
There were two Miura’s, one red…”

“Thank you for the positive comments and questions.
This Citroen has always been owned by enthusiasts. It was sold new in France and the second owner moved it to the Netherlands ( a Mecca for Citroens)in 2000. He drove it to the 50th and 60th Citroen jubilees in Paris. Somewhere I’ve got a picture of it driving by the Arc de Triomphe. I’ve got a 2” thick folder of service receipts from the previous owner. He passed from covid and I bought it and imported to the states in the fall of…”
