Here is hoping for the “more money than brains” crowd to make an appropriate showing! As much as I often mock that group, I’m guilty of cashing their check and never looking back.

The more money than brains crowd buys one thing on BaT: time. Which is priceless.

Time. Until they bring it to me and I point out the cracked engine case repaired with goop and many other non-disclosed issues. Happens quite regularly down at the store. However, $20K estimates do bring me a certain amount of time, deferred at a later date.
And wow, gorgeous car! GLWTA.

Beautiful car. I hope they didn't pressure you into a no reserve auction. I've seen some cars that should have gotten more go cheap lately. I think a lot depends on the day and time the auction ends. That car is too nice to not have a decent reserve.

The folks at BAT were very fair about a reserve and gave me a pile of comps that they based it on.
This isn’t a high value car in stock form and I really don’t know what a modified version yields. I’m rolling the dice on pricing but figure I’ll make it up on exposure to a much broader audience than Craigslist and Facebook. I’ll post the link here when active. Fingers crossed and thanks for the good advice Vin Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Great looking car and good luck on BaT.
My father started vintage racing in a BRG MGA Twin Cam back in the early 80's. Looked a lot like yours, but with black seats. Had an integrated turtle deck, passenger seat aluminum cover, Dunlop racing wheels, hood louvers, and a hot cam 2.0L motor. Pretty fast little car that I got a fair amount of seat time in after he moved on to something faster. The car was turned back into a street legal machine and sold through The Last Detail out of the northern suburbs of Chicago some years ago. Wonder where it is today.
