I'm kind of blown away by the prices, seem a little high to me. [Quote] For near $70,000 I would expect the under side of the hood to have been painted nice too.

Re: Do you guys follow Bring a Trailer ?
Well that was a strange auction. I watched it the last 30 minutes. It sold for
$87,500. What was strange was at the 1 minute mark another bid was placed and the clock reset to 2 minutes and counted down until the next bid was placed then it reset to 2 minutes again and counted down. It did this about 5 times. I've not seen that before.

[QUOTE=71CHEVYSHORTBED402;8804855]It's that 6th sense of yours at work
If I had a 6th sense I wouldn’t have sold the blazer for less than a third What it brought a few years later It did get some work done after I let it go But, I am shocked what they bring now I originally paid $3500 for it Kudos to the guy I sold it to He did very well |

Re: Do you guys follow Bring a Trailer ?
Well the business model is certainly good for the sellers and auction company. I look at this from a buyer's perspective though.
I am a spectator only as I do not buy at auctions. I don't need the competition.

Re: Do you guys follow Bring a Trailer ?
Yes, I follow it and it seems like our trucks are doing pretty well on that site. Although the ones I've seen on there have been top shelf trucks typically, just like that Ford.
I though this was interesting. There was a one owner 69 Chevelle SS396, 4 speed on Bring a Trailer and listed next to it was a one owner 1983 VW Rabbit GTI with 122,000 miles. Neither car was perfect and the Chevelle had some front fender rust but was a nice looking original car. The Rabbit bid to $32,500 and the Chevelle bid to $29,000. Cars from the 80's cars are on the increase, but didn't think a VW Rabbit would outbid a 1969 SS396 Chevelle. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...hevelle-ss-15/ https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...rabbit-gti-16/

Re: Do you guys follow Bring a Trailer ?
I'm not a player these days, so I rarely go looking at trucks for sale. Too rich for my blood anymore. That's a cool F100 4wd. Museum quality? YeeeIdunno. Those Maverick hubcaps don't look bad on there. And I have looked at Bring A Trailer when I was searching and even tortured myself a few times when I couldn't buy a lug nut.
It's ok Dale. All American made 4wd trucks from the mid '60s - early '70s are cool beans. They had very little difference in design, construction, and drivetrain from the frame down. It has always been a dream of mine to have a full set of '71 3/4t 4wd Chevy, GMC, Ford, Dodge, and International. Not '72 because I want the 61-71 dodge body style. Although the '72 Dodge Power Wagon is a fine looking style in itself. At a glance, the '70s Dodge body style is very close to the 67-72 GM.

I have only bid on one truck (didn't win), but I find BAT entertaining and they seem to bring decent money to their auctions.

Re: Do you guys follow Bring a Trailer ?
Some people have money to burn on both ends of the deal
Personally If I were going to pay money for a ‘Built Truck’ It Would Look Like . . This |

Re: Do you guys follow Bring a Trailer ?
I’ve followed a few auctions. The comments can be amusing.
