8T02R203160-02423 on BaT

I kind of wish we could hear what to say after they have some time with the car

after they win maybe I'll try and tag the winning bidder a few months down the road and ask but not sure if Bat monitors that. I cannot post on this car so I'm done with it.

Imagine a few months from now the winning bidder still believing they got the better end of the deal, joins SAAC and stumbles across this long post.

I'd think DC is not really following the auction much or comments.  He probably has one of his associates handles it all.

In regards to BaT and their reserves.  I've sold a few vehicles on there.  I tried to run 2 others thru them and they were firm that they know the market and based on "research" they felt their reserve was very fair.  Both vehicles sold for much more than the reserve BaT wanted through other avenues.  One actually showed up on BaT a few years later through a "partner" with a reserve much higher than the one I wanted.

when I read stories some make no sense. The guy is a car collector and has many cars. His neighbor knows this and asks if he is interested in it. The part that makes no sense is that in all the years they were neighbors he never saw the car before? I don't have my registry since I'm not home but wouldn't a quick check verify if this Uncle Tom was the original owner?

I love how all the DC Fan boys take everything at face value.

You cant say "uncle Tom" its 2026!

🙃

Ok Im done, until this MFer is over

Yes, I would think with his "internet being" is such a key part of his circus (ego and $$$) he has "people" that post to squelch any negative post that pop-up.

    Yes, I feel I've viewed this scenario as apparently happening with regularity on B.A.T., this particularly with their regular players, and when it seems B.A.T. themselves aren't running defense.  But honestly this really isn't relegated solely to them, as the practice of deception, or just the "thumb on the scales", in the conveyance of goods for compensation isn't new.  But ideally one shouldn't permit the behavior to become obvious!

$180K ... Not bad really   

[Coralsnake]

I would like to get all the people who said "drive it like it is" together.

Let them sit in that car for about an hour and see if they change their minds

[shelbymann1970]

Crap! Unlike this car my car has original paint on it. One owner. Maybe I should have rebuilt the engine and dropped it back ub. Did the brakes and mechanicals and sold it on bat. I guess I wasting 10s of thousands and many of my own hours restoring mine. But I now know my min price will be 200k  as I'll reference this rodent infested non original paint worn out interior with metal replaces as an example for value. Pete, I love your " very well sold " comment but you know it went over the heads of many cheerleaders. Think of all the nice 67s and 66s and 68s that have sold for less as better drivers.

[Coralsnake]

I really would love follow up on this car.

The ignorance of some is astounding, to characterize a statement I made about survivors as a "complaint" indicates to me there a lot of people still eating crayons

[pbf777]

    Was this a good deal" 

    I dunno, but if just referencing "other" '68 Shelby GT500's as previously listed just on B.A.T., . . . . . I think for the money, or even less, I'd rather have gotten one of the "other" ones!   

    And I do agree with one of the posters' comments on this B.A.T. auction: "Dennis did the right thing in not restoring this car"!  Yep, the gullible public "took the bait" and ran the price up to where he "raked-it-in", this with minimal effort or expense invested!

    As for the never ending "Rah-Rah" team for D.C.,  all I can say is that as repetitiously as the word "savior" was utilized in the event, may he ought to get a "medal"; aka. the "Congressional Gold Medal" and/or the "Medal of Honor Citizen Honors", I mean something; beyond that of the cult worship jeering!   

    Not that I've ever really been a fan of the mentality, as associated with cars, as often one won't get "all" of the investment back at sale time, but now figure the restoration costs on top of the purchase price, . . . . . so just 'how far' upside-down would you end up!

Not bad for the Seller.

    I think I remember it was only certain colors that prove bad for you?
