BAT Craziness

I’m not sure if it went back to the party selling or some lucky bidder that was getting played.

Kinda slow bidding today on a decent looking truck that I thought would go for more than that $76.5k one with the rust holes and “four wheel disk brakes”.

My brother’s closes tomorrow.

Saw this one today at the Kissimmee Mecum auction…. There were 4 total but I only saw this one go across the block.

Spoke with him - built 302 (not coyote), 4speed, clean straight and fresh paint, spotless interior. Reserve was $150k!! Stalled at $85k

$85K was a great price for that, $40-$60K seems like an average price for a clean rig these days...

Think that’s an accurate observation. The “craze” seems to be subsiding. Some of the builds off a new frame, body, coyote… seem to be pulling in over $100K.

Think we were a day late and a dollar short on our listing. Was hoping for some of that craze money but we did ok.

Yeah, somebody's going to be disappointed when they get home and see the rust in those inner fenders. And God forbid they take it on a trail and flex it out a bit.

Geeze! I just went through the pics. Its amazing what kind of vehicle people will spend big money on.

I'm glad you brought that up. Somebody's going to be p#ssed off there but I'm glad it happened the way I think it did. It appears the seller had the previous owner bid it up in hopes of raising the selling price and then the plan backfired and the previous owner ended up being the new owner since BaT chipped in some $$ to make the deal. If that's the case, then the former/new owner is going to pay a buyer's fee on a truck that he wasn't buying in the first place....curious how that all plays out in the background.

It's going to go across the block at an upcoming Mecum auction.

Original seller or a lucky buyer?

Mecum doesn't give that info, but I'm guessing the original seller.

Here's a recent picture of it. The one above was from over 10 years ago. This shows the color better. It is really green.

I see the green hornet is up on the BAT auctions. Good luck!

 

[toddz69]

Saw that yesterday too - GLWTA, as they say!

Thank you. Slaying Northern up North.

Thank you. Slaying Northern up North.

Think you’re fishing farther up north than we were.

 

[cannunz546]

We are 50 miles from Nanavut (Northwest Territory) in Manitoba. If you like Helicopters and 60 year old airplanes and awesome fishing, this is your place.

Think you’re fishing farther up north than we were.

Yes that was a fatfinger mistake. Glad BAT let them correct it.

See it’s coming down to the wire! Good luck! Hope some of that crazy money comes your way.

Looks like BAT is taking about anything these days. This non running rust bucket pulled in $8100 + commission + shipping.

Thought our running and driving solid project should have gone for a bit more.

In comparison to that thing, yours definitely should've gone for more! I thought @cannunz546's rig brought a pretty good result. Hopefully he's happy with it.

I thought $15-20 would be more reasonable. Based on other “projects” that sold. Still beat the out of what the local tire kickers were offering. I couldn't talk my brother into investing the time to install the lights and door hardware. That and fixing the brakes and C4 leak n reverse issue would have made it present better. Closing on the Sunday after the 4th probably didn’t help.

The rolled, non running with the incomplete 3 on the tree to C4 conversion sold for 3K more than we got.

I think our buyer got a great project with a lot of potential.
