Sold on BAT for 30k. Painted and sold again for 92K. That just about sums it up why there are so many y flippers

Looks like more than a simple repaint to me...

I've been running through the numbers in my head on this one. With the cost of labor and materials where they are today, and with the amount of work that the guy put into this one, I don't think there is a lot of profit left over. Maybe, if it is his shop that is doing all the work, but if you have to farm it out at $100+ an hour, it wouldn't take a lot to run up the bills over $50k. Thats only 500 hours.

I dont doubt that is was not a simple repaint but the before and after pics still are hard to justify 60k difference to me anyway.

40k appreciation in 11 months. Not a bad return!

Educate me on the price of this 67 f 250

 

[Yooper74]

Ha. I saw that truck also. I dig it but really didn't understand the price

 

[TNcoupe]

I about spit out my coffee on the price of that F250. Im having a hard time not thinking that BaT isnt a money laundering service.

 

[ngsd]

I wondered that myself! Some of these prices seem like they are manipulating the market.

If that F250 legitimately sells, my '79 is going up for sale. %)

I would say so but there is something funny about this. Those don't bring that much. I have seen several for sale recently at a fifth of that price. I bet if you put one on there it would not bring anywhere near this.

This looks like a nice build but that paint has orange peel for days. I wonder how that will affect the final bid.

Yeah I know. I just don't see how that '67 can be a legitimate sale.

It definitely needs color sanding.

I am not the conspiracy kind, but after the 79 Bronco going for 213K, this 67 truck going for 130, a 1976 Blazer Chalet for 125k, and several other high dollar oddballs it just makes you wonder if it is to drive the market. The spike after these sales drives others to list theirs thinking they hit the jackpot but they don't bring anywhere near these prices.

These crazy prices tempt me to sell my Broncos....but then again, nah.

 

[yamar73]

It seems the higher the sale price, the less I like them. On BaT anyway.
I sold my last Bronco in 2002 and am just starting to look for another and it's interesting which ones seem to bring in more money. So many with poor quality bodywork and unappealing mods.

 

[markw]

Yep they're not Bronco people. The nicely restored stock or restomod trucks appeal to Bronco folks but not the goofy ones that bring the high sales prices.

This one is interesting. The rear flares' position being so far off really bug me:

When I mentioned it in the comments, the seller said almost all early Broncos are like that and his is better than most! Who knew!
