BAT Craziness

[ngsd]

I was really surprised by this one too. I think it was a case of a buyer who liked the look but wasn’t very informed on the technical side, combined with a seller who commands a premium thanks to the flywheel effect of strong past listings and top-tier outsourced photography.

Yes the seller has a strong history of great marketing and photography. But, it always takes more than one buyer to get it this high so at least a couple had the same goal.

Ha, yes, very good point.

The 71 Stroppe that last sold on BAT for 199,500 and had AC added to it just went through Mecum Houstom where it failed to meet reserve of 170 at 145k.

And yet another head scratcher. Good build but not nearly the quality of some that were nearly half recently. The beauty of an auction!

It is a nice looking bronco, and under hood looks decent to me (I'm no professional, and my Bronco is a C- in comparison. But at that price I would expect things such as: no unfinshed / unpainted / rusty parts (drive shafts and back side of bumpers, some of the fasteners), a cleaner dash (extra holes in face, holes underneath), better fit of the glove box lid, the leather dash cover to fit tighter, upgraded seating and shoulder belts?

$141k is still a lot of money to me! I guess good for him if you're able to legitimately get that price, though...

How many of these Bronco's turn up at a legit EB gathering? Has anyone spotted one? Or, do they just go to cars in coffee in big cities next to the lambos and Ferraris, so they can make business connections with the other Orthodontist and Doctors/Lawyers?

Speaking from recent experience, the drag link to track bar geometry is curious.

Looks like a handful.

Looks like a handful.

Not in the parking lot for cars and coffee, which is probably the only action it will ever see.

So many nice broncos on BAT at the same time now. Seems like it was pretty barren for a while and now it's loaded with eb's.

Strangley the stock market rebound seems to coincide with a boost in the collector car market and they are bringing good money again.

Some things are hot, and some things are not

Anything icon is going to bring money.

As the market gets softer, a crazy sale happens and makes you scratch your head. Hard to figure out how this got to 150k with fees as many other nice ones struggled to reach six figures. .

I haven't looked at this thread for a little while.
I noticed you guys seem to think that this sold for too much money.
I'm guessing you guys just don't have an eye for detail, or maybe you just overlooked it.

It has "Rear Tailgate Jump Seats"!
Extremely rare option.

Seriously, those look like the most uncomfortable little seats.

Did anybody notice the coil overs on that f100 that went Haaa $270 k, is that a kit or just something icon does,

That is a complete chassis built exclusively for Icon by Art Morrison Chassis along with the BRs, FJs and anything else Johnathan is building and or creating.
