Well, I listed my first car on bring-a-trailer. It's a no reserve auction. Let's see what happens.

Good luck, Theron!
@Theron Best of luck on the sale and your come backs are so frigg'n priceless ( no pun) Back some 7 years when I hauled cars for exporters, these big cars would bring in some wild and crazy money from buyers in Europe and Sandland countries.
@chines1, @Alan Merklin Yeah I am DrivenToys. I love banter. I've had plenty of experience with heckling. I figure maybe I can get traffic just from the come backs.
thanks

You gotta have thick skin to post a car on BaT, but it's clear you do. Usually I only look at a posting once, but this one I'll have to come back to for a chuckle or two. GLWTA
@Lane Anderson I just had fun roasting the $69 bidder. I'm finding the banter so much fun to write.

Good for you Theron!

Absolutely, the banter will drive traffic and I've seen them go viral from it also.
I have '64 Wildcat in the garage, one owner, low mileage. Needs work??
I wish Theron well with the sale but I am wondering why it says the seller doesn't know if the AC works. It just seems like that is something he would know.

You’re a better man than me. I’ve found it irresistible to go off on a few sh*tposters on BaT. Mostly “real Porsche” wankers going on about “authenticity” of replicas and how much better a real Porsche (that they don’t, haven’t, and never will own) is so much better.

Theron commented that the AC system is complete, he just hasn't ever charged it.

I clarified that in one of the first comments.
Good old BAT doesn't let you write your own listing. They assign you an auction expert. You can imagine who gets the job of low value cars like mine. "Seller doesn't know if AC works" is their was of saying. "The car has all the original A/C equipment, but it's R12 and the current owner hasn't charged or converted it".

Good luck. My Spyder is going up after I come back from vacation.
1 Day left. Feel free to beat me up in the comments on BAT. I love the challenge!

Most fun auction ever on BAT, and I hope you get your no reserve price...
Getting close to five digits.

I got the joke, Michael - even if nobody else did.

You're a really funny guy, Theron. Excellent auction.
I just went back and read all of the comments - Bravo!!! Most fun I've had on BaT in a long time.
