If that brought 19k, then mine has to be worth 50k!

WOW. That is honestly quite surprising

When you put $3,000 worth of wheels and tires on any piece of shit car it drive the value through the roof. I thought everyone on the internet knew that...

Adds nearly as much value as a huge stereo system.

Agreed, but I'm not as surprised by the price as I am that BAT accepted it in the first place.

Put some pieces together for the BAT listing.

 

[Dave]

A little motion. About the best we could as the brakes are nearly nonexistent. B

leeders are frozen.

 

[Sendero]

A few of these in similar condition have been sitting on marketplace in my area for 15k.

We’ll be happy with $10K. Thinking it should be in the $12 to $15 range.

BAT sent a draft of the listing. I had a couple minor corrections. Getting a little nervous about the no reserve listing. BAT doesn’t seem to be willing to accept these low end sales with reserves. Anyone think there’s a chance this would go for less than $5k for a solid, never wrecked, bent, or abused, clear title, running and drivable, Bronco on BAT. Both my brother and I are tired of listing on line through Facebook marketplace or craigslist just to deal with the masses of local low ball tire lickers and scammers.

I think its really unlikely that is sells that low. But it is BAT so everyone will be very critical of everything in the comments, but the critical commenters typically aren't bidders anyways.

I would love to own it and at 5k I would buy it sight unseen.

What the BAT listing Dave?

 

[Dave]

I’ll post a link to the Bring A Trailer listing when it goes live. They pick the date. I asked them to avoid ending on July 4th or 5th. Bid period runs 6 days.

 

[Dave]

Check out what just sold for $14,500!

Good job on the pics!!! GLWTA!!!

BAT bids end tomorrow. Up to $10k. If it closes at that we’ll be happy. Expecting it to go up a bit. I’ve seem hulks go for $10K for frame, glovebox door, and title. Looks like the market is softening a bit. We’re hoping for $12-14. Think a running and driving project is worth that.

Great bones for a project. I think it would be a great “stock” restoration. I had considered repossessing it from my brother for a restoration. 4 wheel power disk brakes, power steering, rebuild the C4 and freshen up the 302. New rockers and high flare rear quarters would fix it right up. I’d make in blue!

I really enjoyed the years I drove it all over the west. About 60,000 miles worth. Bought it when it was only 7 years old. Where has the time gone?

Well it sold for $11,500. We were hoping for a little more but it beat the crap out of what the locals were willing to pay. I think we did ok. My brother has space in his barn for his growing vintage snowmobile collection and a few bucks in his pocket to buy “stuff” to fill that space up. Wish we could have gotten $14,500 like that rolled over non running one that sold a couple days ago. A little disappointed. Don’t think the last day of a holiday weekend was the best time to close the auction.

 

[BGBronco]

Good enough price. Glad it worked out.

 

[Dave]

Went to a good guy in Houston as a project for him and his son. First Bronco. Hope to see him on here soon.

 

[chrlsful]

once sold there’s no sayin.
Lowered, chopped, channeled, 20 inch tire, 500 Hp motor, etc.

The BAT process is pretty straight forward. Submitted the info. Paid the $99 when they accepted It. Reviewed and submitted changes to the the ad they generated. Answered questions in the comments section as the ad ran. Didn’t have any “contact seller” directly. Clicked checkout when the bid closed. electronically signed papers. They sent an overnight label to send in the title after seller submitted funds and arranged shipping. Got 1/2 of the sale price when they got the title transfered into my account. Shipper called to pick it up. The other 1/2 will be deposited when it ships. They keep things moving quickly. You get the full winning bid price. Seller pays all other costs. Good experience.

We had about 6700 views and 650 watch. I was expecting a little more action close to closing but think we got a reasonable price. Was hard to let it go along with the memories and plans to get back on the project. At some point you have to face reality and make some hard decisions.

I’m faceing the same with some of my projects. Waiting to see if I’ve got this prostate cancer thing licked.

here’s hopin the projects keep yer mind off the health. When not,
focus on how yer body does its own healing (rather than the opposite)...

There’s nothing like an auction to raise a final price. Net sales bring on
higher final hammer. U cant do better than BAT. Now we have 2 threads on them...

Whats their charge for listing? Whats their piece of the sales price? (I assume it wrks that way)
