Random WTF Pig For Sale Thread

You could always throw a bid on it just for fun to make the watching more enjoyable

Give it a shot, I may or may not follow your lead!

Ha! And risk becoming the inadvertent winner?
Hopefully a knowledgeable Cruiser head will end up with this one but it seems unlikely.

You keep saying you want a 55 Bret now’s your chance to save a bunch of money building one you don’t want and then spending a bunch more fixing things you don’t like/weren’t done. Think of it as a very poor life choice learning experience. lol

It’s too “nice”’and expensive for me. But as always I appreciate your input

Not much time left and it’s only to $42k, still seems like a deal for what you get.

Will it meet reserve??

 

[Ol Yeller]

Rarely watch auctions, some very odd behavior at the end, 20k jump for no reason?

 

[wngrog]

Knew it.

 

[sofj45]

It’s like the titanic 2. The unsellable.

 

[greenbeast]

How much is one man willing to lose, wonder what reserve is?

Not going to get $300,000 out of it.

 

[DTC72]

Well the Beck Pig did not meet reserve at $92,500 as Nolan noted so now we stay on the alert for the next sales attempt.

 

[trainbufftony]

If it had sold that represent a ROI of fourteen cents on the dollar.

Should have gone to vegas.

Such a strange thing to do, to modify such a well preserved survivor to such a unique, limited appeal level of build and then sell it almost immediately.....its not like he needs the money. But dude is weird/cringe in a variety of ways.

Yea I mean if you have 3 functional brain cells you can do better than 14c on the dollar...

Well he probably got in the thing and was so mad at himself for wasting all that money and getting such a horrible result that he was like "nah, f this thing"

 

[kbahus]

I am surprised it was bid that high, I am more surprised it didn’t make the reserve price at $92k. It would have been the highest priced 55 to sell on their site.

I bet it’s the noise, love the 6BT but man they’ll rattle your brains out. Local guy had a 6BT swapped 80, super cool and fun to drive. But man was it stupid loud to be in (even with a lot of deadening work). If you didn’t know what you were signing up for I could see selling quickly. My $.02

 

[wngrog]

And the leaf springs. And the poor window seals. Love a pig but it's close to the bottom of the list of platforms I'd go down this path with
