Open Road

Hot damn saw this.....so much want. Thinking 80-120k range will be the hammer price.

could someone buy and register in Canada and uh drive into the US for a road trip & uh, keep only for track events?

Dont see why not

I am totally drooling on this one. Not quite capable yet, but, damn!

Not very exotic but I would like to have something like this in my garage:

Simple and classy!

Not BAT, but it sure looks like a good find...

Hmm, that looks legit and the price looks good too. No doubt some catch up maintenance is due, so budget $5K or $6K or so and then have a well sorted first year "S". I notice they painted the rear spoiler. That's weird, but it works.

I like these 2:
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991- ... -928-gt-8/ - pinnacle 928, and best color too.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1966-shelby-gt350-10/ - pinnacle Mustang.

^^nice. love the GT, but I just can't do red, dang.^^

Guys....and girls, I expect more action here!

Where's the cool rides I'm not finding...?

Okay, here's one - a Shelby GT - I had this same car (mine was an auto, o/w identical). I loved it and missed it immediately upon selling. Like 928's, I'm a sucker for S197 version Mustangs. I have had 5. Truly exceptional cars for the money. I am very tempted on this one and on the Bullet also up for auction right now on the site.

Here's another one. Who besides me also sees the Porsche 904 in the body lines of this gorgeous car?

When I lived in Germany it seems this was every GIs dream car for those who didn't want the usual German performance car:

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2001- ... viggen-15/
But this is the one I really want to bid on:

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2007- ... pider-7-2/

Viggens and B5 S4's have always been my unicorns....every time I go to buy one things go super sideways or the sale ends up beyond sketchy. One of the Viggens had a branded title even tho it was never in an accident that I could find. The original owner said Mass RMV screwed up and totalled his car for an accident when it was not even on the road...Knowing the Mass RMV this does not surprise me.

Test drive of a Stage III Awe S4 ended with a broken axle and a turbo return line wrapped around it.....

I had two Viggen purchases fail. The seller backed out of the first deal because he decided to keep the car. The second one, the seller wouldn't respond to my e-mails. I still haven't completed a purchase on one.

Not on BaT but a street legal 962(ish) sounds like fun.

My cousin had an '82 SC exactly like that. Second 911 I ever drove and first one I redlined. A perfect car and the last 911 that really looked good in Guards Red IMHO.

achingly beautiful: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1966- ... -gt350h-8/

one more, just need to capture and preserve this:

Anybody here the owner of this 993 or know who is?

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1997- ... rera-s-24/

^^No. Colorado car...hmmm. It's gorgeous for sure!^^....Although if I were to do a 993 again, it would be a 95', but obviously no S option.

HolyChit, 100 large for an engine with 4 cylinders and a "good 200hp"....?....Ouch. I get the rarity, but..

Um yeah, but the car it goes into is worth well over $1M. My buddy has a 57 Carrera GS/GT Speedster with that engine in it. One of 77 of that flavor.

It's a really cool piece of engineering, too.

RNM at $220K. I am thinking reserve was a cool quarter mil.

Wild motor!

At that price the guy shooting the pictures might get some new shoes out of the deal.

2.5 mil for a motor seems excessive. I get Porsche rare is Porsche rare and the technology for the circa of engine is worth something....but

I have a friend selling a 2001 S4 with K04 turbos and chipped with cat back exhaust if you’re interested. It’s a great car!

Oh man that would be great and terrible at the same time. Truck purchase just took me out of the game for a little while.

Wow that is a nice shark!

yeah that minerva was gorgeous. A beautiful 86.5 meteor metallic gray just sold today for crazy money. It was a low miles shark. There is a rather pink (and not desirable to me) casis red GTS that just went up today.

If I posted all the cars I find that I like/want on BaT, I'd fill up two pages in this thread........and that's just in one week of looking.

You are going to need a bigger garage

Here's a real sleeper for those of you straddling the fence on jumping into the 928 pool. Swap that 85 mph speedo for a proper 170, and have at it. This is a good one:
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1981-porsche-928-26/. Chiffon white over tan, gorgeous combination.

Wow that is a really nice one! Not sure if ready to jump into the 928 pool yet....have one in the garage that has been collecting dust of a friends.

Now this would fit the bill for a new track car


https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2004- ... 11-gt3-24/

Damn that is some strong money for a drivers condition G60 Corrado. at $11,111

I was surprised at that as well, but I think the colour has some intrinsic value. I expected it to be an original 40k-mile car at that price.

Yeah, looks like a repaint and the odd damage to the drivers door is a bit funky. I would want to put actual eyes on it for that type of money, normally a 8/10 G60 without a crazy history will trade hands in the 6,500-8,500 range. Thus what I have seen off the BaT craziness, BaT generally seems on VW's to be about 40%-60% over priced as there are a lot of other areas to find the cars.

A unique car I know next to nothing about, interesting shape!

A former navigator of mine had one of those, in pieces, in his garage. He shipped it off to his daughter in Iowa. I don't know if it ever got restored. He moved out there shortly after that, then passed away a few years ago.

Most any Lotus is going to be cool. I've always liked the Europa. I fear I would not fit, though.

Sorry, I still can't get the QUOTE function to work (?)

A friend that lives pretty much halfway between us has a Europa, if you would like to answer that question sometime

Always an entertaining day seeing someone who just got a Lotus try to climb in or out at the track. Can only imagine how their date would feel falling out and doing a reverse tuck and roll in a dress


Drool, CLK Blacks are so cool!

Hey Brian, try the check mark of the little 'thought bubbles'.

To answer your question: yes. I would like to get that answer. Not that I would ever buy one, it would just be fun sitting in one.

I was fortunate enough to drive a Lotus Elise at BeaveRun (or whatever it's called now). Getting in was not a huge issue. Getting out was. In the most ungraceful manner, I had to lean out, put my hands on the ground and then roll out. Fortunately, there was no one there filming...

Really close to pushing the button in this 356, I think the fact that it got chopped will keep it from hitting typical 356 prices
