I hope you’re not going to far….you need gas !!

By the way like @Augustiron i watch a wide variety of BAT auctions in some cases as a barometer for what is coming and where it was. My gut says, I am not getting what I paid for 3-4 yrs ago

No worries Al- that was our next stop.

Hardest part for you is setting a proper reserve.
High enough that you don't give it away for all the work put in, but also attainable for where the market is at.... which is the hard part to figure right now.
No shame if you set it too high and the market can't get there.

I watch a lot of auctions on BAT for other vehicles.
Having a thick skin and not taking the peanut gallery comments personally, being very responsive with information and peanut gallery questions, and just being a VERY patient, pleasant and present seller go a long way to bringing out the best bidders.

The good news is you know this vehicle inside out, every nut and bolt.
Many auctions are run by brokers who don't know the car and can't really market it and answer all the questions.

All great advice- Photog took over 400 pics today, a handful of videos and I’m prepared to monitor the auction closely to field any questions/concerns. The market(hobby/collector car market)is a little weird, I saw one a few months back that shows that there are buyers out there. We’ll find out in a few weeks.

I honestly don't think this one fits in with the general market 40's that most of us look for, @Jdc1 and the crew have built a diamond. I set the bar low enough to stub a toe on with mine, this one has set the bar sky high. I've been impatiently waiting to see the listing.

I see this in that same light… if you want to appreciate the stock beauty and fine details in a build, then this is the greatest way to go…
