I kind of feel like these dealers are gaming the system somehow...I am not sure how, but some of the prices seem unreasonable to me.

Hopefully someone smarter will figure it out and shate...

I've seen tops made for putting on webers and also autolite inline carburators.

    I would think that the "Weber" (if IDA's) plan wouldn't prove to be terribly successful; but a pair of "Inline's" ("A" series, not "B's") on an engine that could actually utilize the capacity and with effort, could at least prove interesting.

    One car that I did end up with from BAT was after the auctions' completion, where as the story goes, the winning bidder "failed to follow trough", the follow-up bidder "passed", and I then got the email from BAT stating that the "Seller"would accept my bid as made; which was though significantly less.  Hmm? 

    Then, another vehicle was one which I had inquired on directly from the Dealer, whom then became the "Seller" as listed on BAT, which then after the supposed "successful sale" with a "winning bid", but then the Dealer called me back three more times the following week attempting to still sell me the car! 

    These  are just a couple of my limited personal experiences with direct involvement; but of course I have made, as many others have also, spectative observations of just some strange and unexplainable bidding executions, that even though people may never seem to not amaze me in their incomprehensible behaviors, some of it certainly lends creed to surreptitious practices.   

    "Shill Bidders"?  Your darn tootin!

Good interview.

I've always like the pin set LASAAC did of Grant's team. https://www.lashelbyclub.com/_files/ugd/eccc55_bd1240baf7b74c63825e07d58a4dc010.pdf?index=true

George Lucas seems to have liked yellow cars with black stripes. I wonder how he let Milner's American Graffiti coupe be built without some black accents? https://macsmotorcitygarage.com/the-real-star-of-american-graffiti-milners-32-ford-coupe/

I wonder if any shill bidding ever happens on BAT ?

Seems likely with how they keep extending the bid time. If the shill wins he could find some reason not to buy and the next high bidder will get a shot to buy the car.
