back in the 80s Tom Peters told the story... "it's all about the sizzle..." (forget the actual steak)  

[Hipo-Fred]

Tried to comment again, and then again... both deleted immediately, barely even enough time to show as "under review" before they went away. Did screenshot the second comment so the forum can see how "non constructive" it apparently was.

They should rename the site to "Bringen Sie einen Anhänger mit"

Vern, you're welcome here anytime ... although, as Groucho said, "I wouldn't belong to any club that would have me as a member."

Thanks Fred that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy coming from you 

I've been a big proponent of BaT since the early days.. which is what makes the moderation of the comment section all the more surprising to me.

Kind regards,
Vern

And take it from a low volume/high quality type of seller-- the seller standards/rules for high volume sellers as well as the moderation of their comment sections does not seem to bare much resemblance to how they treat low volume sellers.

      I have experienced this same result, and mind you more than once; this if what you might be introducing into the commentary isn't that which a "partner" or "favored" Seller might find favorable.  So henceforth, one must understand that BAT obviously is "not" solely an unbiased presenter in the relationship! 

      But in the short-run, profits are up!   But in only a matter of time, these actions 'will' poison the well!   

      Oh, and by the way, "every" posting I make to BAT is:  "Held for review by the BAT staff!"

I have also had comments denied repeatedly (not on this car but another '67 Shelby a few weeks ago), after three attempts at the same comment I gave up - the Monitors have their sacred cows to hide or protect.  Don't mess with their agenda!

[SFM5S159]

Let's see if they allow my comment, which is pretty much what Vern asked...

[JD]

Looks like your comment "stuck", I gave you a thumbs up - now you have 289 somehow fitting ;-)

[Vernon Estes]

Hey look at that, my comment stuck also

A restored car on its third motor, not properly detailed probably wouldn't make my top ten of best in the world 😉

I feel sorry for the enthusiast that claims it is the best he has ever seen.He would need to get out more. It is a nice car from the outside but given the yardstick on a high value 67 GT500 is typically how original compared to assemblyline this car falls far from the mark.  To give a idea without going into the multitude of incorrect parts, hardware, finishes and installation this car would fall short of even placing in a SAAC or MCA venue Shelby class.That includes the MCA driven class IMO.

     Like I said: "quite the salesman"!

+1

Please if your restoring or thinking about restoring a similar car don't use this car as a yardstick for that sort of details. But of course I don't believe it was ever built to be a nice example of a restored car and that's OK

It might just indicate how a lot of buyers are not so concerned about concourse correct cars. They want something that looks the part. Apparently, this car sold for $440,000 a couple years ago, that has to be close to a record price for a '67 GT500, right?

[Nightmist]

That was in 2022, but the car failed to sell for $300,000 at Mecum last month.

Alcohol is a hell of a thing.


I'm guessing even at the 300k "high bid" at Kissimmee... it was likely the popcorn machine in the back of the arena that was the high bidder.
