BAT Craziness

Check out the tire cover on the 73 explorer on bat

To bad the seller is so unresponsive... I would like a nice driver and also being from Indiana would make it handy.

Reminds me of the Jerrari

Im still learning just how much money disappears doing one of these to a high level. Education can be expensive. I thought I could do a nice one for 50 to 60K all in. It is not working out that way. I searched and found a sound donor, it was complete but not run in decades. Due to mission creep all that remains is the axle housings, frame, original body, seat frames and steering column. Also a lot of original parts like the wiper assemblies, heater, controls etc. It is probably my last project and I wanted to go out with a bang, so it in all reality is over done. That said, when done, I would put it up against anything going over the block at B/J.

Hi Todd,

I showed that one to my wife when I was looking at BaT yesterday. She was not impressed. Lol

You need to give them credit... they included a lot of the negative in the ad.

That was for sale near me for years

My Dad built this and listed it recently. Fun to watch the bids, wish my pockets were deep enough lol https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1...SM_aem_by7lQozdB551zwKPGudS1w#comments-anchor

 

[Blitzen72]

Is it my imagination... and if so, no offense... but is there a slight downward 'kink' in the body lines between the front fenders and the doors/rest of the vehicle in that blue one?

 

[Bitch'nBronco]

I did notice that in some pictures, but its straight. This is a photo I took the last time I saw it in person. Someone commented on BaT about it and my dad posted a picture of a level across the door and front fender to show its straight.

Thanks, he's worked hard on it. Feel bad I havent been down to see it recently but hopefully it goes to a good home

My BaT rant...
Been watching BaT for years. Even sold a truck there once. Generally good going through stuff. There are plenty of restomod/custom/restored vehicle. A lot of flippers. Read the description and the seller has only owned if for 6 months and the work done is mostly stuff to get it ready to sell. And there are some dealers in there as well. ...

I see way too much junk sell for way too high to the untrained eye. After watching a vehicle be flipped on BaT that I knew every dark secret, I would NEVER buy anything from BaT.

Somebody told me BAT got bought out by a private equity company . Where I live in Arizona they’re buying up a bunch of air-conditioning companies and that’s definitely a rip off for the customer.
