Red LS5/M22 1970 Chevelle BAT
 

Nice looking #'s matching car optioned exactly how I would have ordered one back in the day. Cowl hood and tach were added but I would have added them too.

Pretty much the same as the one you finally got last year, no?

Very nice car.

Pretty similar Bill, mine has a saddle bench seat interior and no power steering. The saddle interior has really grown on me but I definitely would have ordered one with black interior back in the day if I'd have been around back then. The BAT car shouldn't have radio which I think is cool as hell too. But that damn master cylinder...

I registered with BAT to go after this car. But yeah, that master cylinder gave me some pause along with a few other issues. Now I see there are some interesting comments from the previous high bidders. I'll likely sit this one out.

'Interesting comments' seem to be commonplace on BaT auctions :rolleyes2:

No truer statement than that Bill. The peanut gallery is usually from non-bidders. It was just odd to see them from high bidders.

That’s why I’ll never list a car there.

My own website where comments are not allowed LOL and sYc where it’s an ad and not a discussion forum. As it should be

I think that was the goal of one of the high bidders, to scare off bidders.

Some commentary is beneficial. Having sold a few cars on BAT I find the serious folks will contact me directly to get clarity on their concerns.
In vehicles I have bid on or thought about bidding I found certain comments to drive me toward more research which helped shape my decision on bidding.

I'll be the first to admit I cannot judge the authenticity of a Chevelle. But what was going on there was complete BS. IMO, the one commenter was nothing more than beating his chest.

Selling there can be a bit dicey. But also, the results tend to be far above the norm in many cases when the car and seller are up to the occasion. It can be a bit of a gamble of sorts.

Reserve not met at $101,000, wow!
