I don't recall ever seeing a 280C in silver, nor dash wood in such pristine
condition. Mileage is suspect, but I expect bids will vault to $30 K
before all is said and done.

I agree with Dwight. If it’s something you think you really want, determine a
price you’re willing to pay and bid up to that. Who knows, you might end up
with a new (to you) car.

No recourse, sold as-is, where-is. It’s in the terms. They are just the service
that brings the parties together, the deal is ultimately between seller and
buyer. They have no exposure.
That being said, there have been some real sh*tshows where they’ve discreetly

I did not suggest that BaT sold good cars or stood behind them in any

They are however a source of classic cars that may be difficult to find
which makes them a pretty easy way to watch for something that you like
or want.

My advice, for what it is worth, is to forget the car.
Enjoy looking at one if you see it on the street or at a car show but
don't buy it unless you have the financial resources such that you can
toss that much money away. There is no guarantee it will appreciate and
you won't be happy if you
I think Don was looking for a good car more than he was a bargain if he
was prepared to pay over $20K for it.

Well, they are rust magnets. So look for that. Also, carb troubles can be an
