“Wow! If your drove this in 1966 you were a very successful owner-operator with great taste! That’s an extra long WB too meant for specialized loads. I watched the videos to see any sign of power steering so only Armstrong steering? My family was in the trucking business (in many aspects) and worked at a Kenworth store in NJ in the clean up bay. Much like old vs modern pickup trucks, they had evolved from bare bones working vehicles to modern, comfortable places to be. GLWTA #keepontruckin”

“Never mind the Firestones, this is very reminiscent of the B.F. Goodrich TireBird. Awesome build!
It’s been a great weekend for second-generation Firebirds. Keep them coming.

“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.”

JoefR commented on 1929 Packard Deluxe Eight 645 Dual-Cowl Sport Phaeton by Dietrich

“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”

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

“If you’d told the regulars at Grounds for Divorce that Fort Stockton would one day be blessed—in the biblical sense—by something called a Lamborghini LM002 Wagon by Diomante, they would’ve nodded politely and blamed your condition on dehydration, heatstroke, or Rusty Hammer’s expired beef jerky.
But at 9:42 on a limp Wednesday morning, the impossible happened.
The thing arrived like a rolling oil embargo—silver paint glistening, roofline squared off like a shipping container…”

“Times may change, etc. etc. but this car will always be a significant unicorn.”

Gberger commented on 1955 Ferrari 250 Europa GT Alloy Coupe by Pinin Farina

“A piece of trivia as we enter the final hour:
Next year marks 60 years since the Maserati Ghibli was first unveiled at the 1966 Turin Motor Show.
At just 27 years old, Giorgetto Giugiaro at Ghia created a shape that was lower, wider, and more dramatic than anything else on the road, with its endless bonnet, razor-sharp nose, and clean, unbroken flanks. For Maserati, it marked a commercial turning point: with the rise of the Autostrada era, the Orsi family and engineer Giulio Alfieri set out…”

ClassicheMasters commented on 1968 Maserati Ghibli 4.7

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

“There has been a great deal of robust technical discussion about this remarkable car, but I would like to take the opportunity to share some additional background about my dad and what this car truly meant to him—and to our family.
In October of 1972, at the age of 39, my dad ordered the car, and it arrived in August of 1973. At the time, my sisters and I were 16, 13, and 10 years old. I clearly remember seeing it for the first time and thinking it was beautiful, powerful, fast, and loud.…”

“Ok, we’re starting to get more realistic with the bids. I have no stake in this auction but as I have to live up to my BaT nickname, I’ll put in my two-cents-worth: The narrow 4-headlight model is in the middle of the collectability hierarchy of the 603 line. My late-model ’69 sold here in 2017 is at the bottom as these are the most common. (Though the later ones have the advantage of 4-wheel disk brakes.) The early 3-headlight ones are the most desirable as they are very rare, have a more…”

Tatraman commented on No Reserve: 1967 Tatra 2-603

“I knew an older guy who was a truck driver back in the 50s and 60s
He used to say that a Diamond T was the Packard of Trucks.
This one sure has that that stout mojo going on.”

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

“In 1978, just after graduating from college, I held three jobs, waiter in a restaurant, a raft guide in nearby West Virginia, and a luthier. I would work in my wood studio from monday-friday and then hop in my old volvo with my lab to drive to WVA for my Saturday work on the New or Gauley river, then back on Sunday for my 12 hour shift at the Virginian in Charlottesville.
As a 24 year old I had all the energy in the world. In those days the interstate had not yet been completed in WVA so I…”

borneo commented on 49-Years-Owned 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS

“Hi everyone, I bought this incredible 850 with the intention on keeping it forever. Plans change and unfortunately it’s time to part ways. I have had an amazing past year with this car but by far the highlight has to be the road trip home from Calgary to Florida. Instead of heading straight back we headed west thru Banff, Vancouver, Olympic National Park, Redwoods, Monterey Car Week, and Yosemite. I picked up a mattress from Ikea and slept in the back the whole way. 10 days, 5,100 miles and 0…”

“66 is considered a lucky number in various cultures, including Chinese culture, where it symbolizes smooth progress and harmony in relationships. In numerology, it is associated with love, balance, and nurturing partnerships. It’s also a darn fine C2 year!
GLWTA!”

“There is a better chance of seeing Bigfoot riding a unicorn down your street than encountering a three-pedal Toyota Solara.”

DatsunZGuy commented on No Reserve: 1999 Toyota Camry Solara SE V6 5-Speed

“My introduction to the GS was reading about the GS club in either Car Craft or Hotrod Magazine in the 80’s. I joined the club in 1989 not owning a GS but interested. I bought a Flint built 69 GS 350 project on e-bay sometime in the mid 2000’s. Didn’t take long to be overwhelmed and realize I’d made a terrible mistake. Finally joined the Buick owning community in 2012 when I bought my uncles ’86 Grand National. A couple of years ago I bought John Chamberlain’s 74 GS Stage 1 to replicate my first…”

“”It’s got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It’s a model made before catalytic converters so it’ll run good on regular gas”. Elwood Blues”

RedTruck1100 commented on No Reserve: Ex–CHP Police Car 1963 Dodge 880 Sedan 413 Project

“These California Highway Patrol Mopars were special cars. There were over 50 modifications Chrysler let CHP order on each of these cars that wasn’t available to the public. Things like presetting the torsion bars higher to compensate for the push bars on the front and the 413 wasn’t available on a civilian 880. These old Mopar squad cars are underrated and the best driving cars they made.”
