Surely this was a mistake:

Has to be....all of the previous bids by this individual were either 5,500, 6,000, etc. Could be a costly typo!!!

BaT usually cancels those fumble-fingered bids with an admonishment to be more careful. I'm surprised they haven't handled this one yet.

Or maybe the floorboards are packed with gold bars?

 

[ngsd]

I fat fingered a bid on BAT for a Pantera years ago and they would not cancel it. It came down to me not paying for it and they canceled my account. The hard part about BAT is that trying to get a hold a person to talk to as it is all online.

BaT fixed the issue and retracted the erroneous bid... then ANOTHER bidder came in and bid $53k. :-[

2 mistakes in one listing? Thats fishy

I'm still having trouble digesting all of the "this is perfect...best Bronco I have ever seen!" comments on that one...don't get me wrong, it has a lot of nice parts + coyote crate engine. A lot of it seemed like common bolt-ons and ok quality work. For $206k+bidder fees, I'd expect quite a bit more, and better. What did you guys think?

Who knows anymore? Until just recently, $200k bought you a house in 90% of the country.

For $200k, I would expect pretty perfect work. You are exceeding most Shelby Mustangs at that price.

Like everything else in the world these days, there are a wide range of opinions on Broncos. There are a lot of commenters on BaT that have far different opinions on rigs than longtime EB enthusiasts. I thought it was a decent rig but I certainly wasn't over-the-top in my enthusiasm for it like many on there. Same with the extended wheelbase rig from last week - I thought it was aesthetically terrible (and I know many longtime enthusiasts did as well) - BaT commenters loved it. Different strokes for different folks.

That truck looks so much better with that tire/wheel combo than the one it had when it sold last fall on BaT here in AZ. Thankfully, both sets come with the rig so if your tastes run to black wheels, you can be happy too.

I doubt the truck will ever see any serious trail time but considering the output of that powertrain and the rest of the quality of the build, I'd at least put a Dana 44 under it.

I dont think a lot of people knew that $206K Bronco was wrapped. There was not a lot of detail showing the paint. Amazing interior, engine, suspension etc but thats a lot to pay not knowing what's under the wrap.

Yes, that was the head scratcher for me as well. I don't want to take away from the build as it was kind of cool but one of the reasons the high dollar cars go for so much is the cost to do the paintwork. While this may have nice paint under it, it never said so. If you look at the areas not wrapped it looks like flat black almost primer finish.
