I'm guessing it doesn't make reserve.

Um not with 175k in receipts , they'll never recover that

Holy hell

You think? That would back up my skepticism on the early high bidding

I did look them up, but didn't make a move yet. I've been dragging my feet and just taking care of a lot of small stuff. It will happen though.

Our work and investment in these pigs is definitely a labor of love, not economics. Consider they’ve got $130k-$170k (whatever it really is) in that truck and it’s very unlikely they’ll get that out of it. And, they’ve got to pay @overton to do a good job marketing and selling it for a probable loss. It’s too bad, but likely all of our lots to a lesser or greater degree.

I don't believe $45,000 plus is even close to what the seller is wanting. Will the seller lose money, I'm sure, but losing money and giving it away are two different figures (IMO).

I have a feeling you know better than most what it would cost to build or replace this pig and yeah I agree the seller is most likely wanting more than 45K.

I keep checking the action expecting to see @TachedOutOffRoad is the new high bidder..

I think Overton had this for sale for $72K, my wife asked me how do you get $72K for a vehicle you guys only put $5K into?

Do Not have your wife talk to mine.

My wife has started counting pigs, the wheels are turning, might have to get rid of a couple, walking the tight rope here I think, she sees thru my bs, I think she loves the pigs as much as me

Ron , this is where I’m at too.

Remember this fellow is not the one who had the job done, he is the second owner, more than one guy has lost money on this trophy truck too date. Unfortunately it is probably loosing value the further from Jonathan Ward it gets, but still one heck of a great ride.

It could easily go to $120k if the right buyer gets interested in the auction, bone stock Z car went huge a week ago or so.

Fun to watch.

I offered him a flat $100k to end auction early. Waiting to hear back

He would be a fool to turn that down

If you get it, save the wheels for resale, get some nice stockers, would look amazing

 

[TachedOutOffRoad]

I’m not buying that truck man. I don’t have $0.50 to my name and if I did, I damn sure wouldn’t buy a chevy powered, auto, no AC, bad rear window rig for more than $20k? Maybe? @J Mack is being a silly weinerhead.

JMack?

I think restorations that stay as true to the original as possible go much higher than the restomods; at least on BAT. In fact, even having a replacement motor, identical to factory, with everything else original seems to hammer the value.
