I am helping a friend sell his C8AF-AE carburetor. The car is cleaned in ultrasonic cleaner, new gaskets and diaphragms ready to install.  See pics for details including tag with dates.
$1,000 OBO, located in MN.
Thanks!

I sent you a PM if you are still looking for one of these.

Thanks,

Recently replaced shocks on an early Venice '65 and these are what were in there.  Sharing for those who might care to know.

Any love for the 2006, 2007, or 2016? 

Hey Bill - Been a long time, and it's good to hear from you.  I love a good painted magnum wheel GT350 (:  Good luck with your search.

I too sold a high dollar car on BAT and got nothing from the buyer. So they reposted it for free after I took new picts, videos, etc. then it was bid to 10% less and all the comments pointed to something was wrong and that's why the seller didn't buy it. Then it's always online with 2 no sales and all the internet detectives are hard at work. It was difficult to sell as the first thing that comes up
When you google the vin is BAT. Go figure

That's a legitimate gripe right there!  I know I'm suspicious of relisted cars, but I also know that buyers like to play games at the expense of the seller.  I sold one car on BaT and when the buyer won the auction, he started discussions on how to arrange an inspection to see if he wants to buy the car.  As if he thought he won the right of first refusal with his winning bid!  I got BaT involved right away and we put pressure on the buyer to complete the transaction on the car and got it done.  I was worried there for a while.  I think I escaped a bad outcome.

BaT should not be allowed to keep their collected bidders fees on transactions that aren't completed.  This should go (in part) to the seller and BaT should be doing a better job of protecting sellers and not just their own interests.  I still think it's a great place to sell and buy cars, though.  Especially now during COVID.  They are going to take a HUGE chunk from the big guys and the big guys are going to lose a lot of clients to BaT for the long haul after this all clears up.

It's 2345....

The color on those scans is way off.  #2345 can still be seen in it's last raced glory at the Boulder Museum.  Fantastic car!

I know things change, but I wonder why a "dream car" is now for sale.

I can think of many good and legitimate reasons.

+3 on Magic Erasers. 

I'm interested.  Not sure yet on solid plans.  I'd be driving from MPLS in the Hertz car.

Roddster, are you driving your Shelby or trailering?

Great looking car.  I like it in both Day 1 restored status and in that awesome period race trim.
