BAT Craziness

[toddz69]

Just saw the racer for sale today. Blew me away. Got a chance to ride in it twice, one time I even got to sit in a seat.

This is a different rig - the one you rode in now resides in Colorado.

This is a very similar truck that we raced in NORRA for 8 years.

BAT isn't the best place to sell a Bronco now.

Dude how do you come with this. Tell me a better platform. It’s what the market is now.

Would be interesting to see the Marti on this one - one of the Ps and Qs trucks. Titled as a '72 but built in Oct '72 with light bars.

Hey PCB 4x4,

I tend to agree with you about the timing not being the best for BaT, unless someone really needs to sell their Bronco in this market.

I'm amazed at how many EBs have been moving through BaT. It seems like one or two new listings daily... for at least several weeks now.

I considered EBs to be pretty rare, now they seem commonplace on BaT.

I talked to BaT last year about relisting our '70, but, what they wanted for a reserve was too low for us, and we certainly didn't want to gamble with a no-reserve listing.

There sure seems to be a lot more Coyotes for sale than there were a year or two ago, too.

I guess its all about the sales game.

Take Care,

Jeff

I have several of our customers doing far better at BJ and Mecum. One of our customers recently sold at BJ for 220,000 the next one was 315,000.

Unfortunately the market is flooded with all these Coyote builds.

Haven’t pulled the trigger yet. But pondering which auction. Was thinking BAT but no hurry. Never did something like Mecum. I would definitely want a reserve. Not a coyote, but a hot 302. May contact BAT to get more info.

My BaT rant...
Been watching BaT for years. Even sold a truck there once. Generally good going through stuff. There are plenty of restomod/custom/restored vehicle. A lot of flippers. Read the description and the seller has only owned if for 6 months and the work done is mostly stuff to get it ready to sell. And there are some dealers in there as well.

Besides the (re)built vehicles, there is a lot of general stuff. Pretty mundane rides, in pretty good shape. Survivors. Sprinkle in the one family (often the owner has had it a few months as if they inherited it) survivors, or someone who has had a very long (multi-decade) ownership. This is the stuff I generally find cool.

Few weeks ago I tried to list my father's boat. They have a boat category (as well as aircraft and trains). I set my father up his own account. Did the photo and video shoot. Filled in all the details. Should be the classic BaT 1-owner vehicle for sale. Bought new, stored indoors, and under a cover while indoors. 40 year old boat, all the documentation it is the original owner. Original sales invoice, brochures, etc. Interior is perfect, 300 hours on the clock, start and cruise videos. Throwback to late 80's midwest boating. Right down to matching vintage skis. Other boats listed were a gutted and rotting cigarette boat, although famous for setting a speed record in the day, relisted after the buyer didn't realize how junk it really was. There was also a 2007 aluminum boat. So a well documented, 1-owner, super clean and functional 1986 boat should be a good auction. The survivor as these boats were super common back in the day, but have all been rode hard, put away wet, neglected, left to rot in the sun, and they just don't exist anymore. They passed on it. There "curated" collection (of flippers and used car lots) wasn't interested. I really questioned that as there was a '91 Escort LX wagon automatic with a replacement title, carfax that showed a rolled over odometer, but that was in the auction. I read between the lines that is they are interested in catering to the flippers and dealers more than actually selling cool pieces of nostolgia at affordable prices.

The market seems a little stronger recently. I have been looking for a nice driver for a friend and cant find the deals I saw a several months ago. This one on BAT was a really strong final bid for a non Coyote build.

Glad to see the strong bid. Not to impressed with the build.

Very nice! I saw that same saying on a window sticker on the back window of a Gen 2 Bronco at Super Cell Colorado 2 years ago.
