The way BAT auctions are trending these days, it might not sell for much more than that.

Now live on Bring a Trailer...

Auction ends today. Very modest reserve, which I believe will be met.

Well.... Bring a Trailer was totally unproductive, so it's still available. Price is $19K.

I'm not going to complain about BAT because they've been good to me over the years, but something doesn't add up. I didn't receive any inquiries, and there were nearly no comments (despite 6000+ views and 500+ watchers). Several times during the listing, even my own comments were not showing up in the feed. I should have raised it with BAT, but I didn't. So I own that.

Nick, as you know, I had a very poor first experience with my 1979 Trans Am on BAT with it not meeting reserve at $27,500 due to their poor photographer session. I gave it to North Shore Classics in Mundelein Illinois back in July and it just sold yesterday for $31,500.00. That might be an option for you. Great people to deal with. PM me and I'll give you the information if your interested on going that route. Bill

Bill, I have never sold a car with a consignment dealer because I have never needed to. I already did contact Gateway in Kenosha right after the auction ended, as 2 friends had good experiences with them. I will contact North Shore Classics as well. The good thing about Gateway or NSC is that I get it out of the premises. My home garage is full, Ion Gate is full, and my warehouse in Glendale Heights is way beyond full (and we're using a 3PL in Hillside to get by.) When you have a 3 car garage, a car condo, and a 50K SF building and STILL don't have a place to store a car for the winter, that means you have way too much stuff.
