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

I know BAT was having technical difficulties the other day and extended one of the auctions I was watching. Not sure if that’s the case with yours but thought I would share.

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.

Nick, Sounds like a nice problem to have, LOL. If you do contact North Shore Classics, talk to Kevin, he was great to deal with and Chuck Barnes the owner is is one of us. Great success to you selling your Fox Convertible. When your in the area, stop by. Bill
