Cars for Sale @ BaT!

[soterik HTH....! Find all posts View Profile Close soterik]

Thinking we should have a thread (sticky) for just BAT cars for comments etc, but should it one for long hoods and another for all others? What about the parts side? Sport Seats, Solex carbs, toolkits etc are showing up. I'm also got a car going there shortly so, do I post it here with a link, or do I put it in as a separate thread with pics etc.?

Here's a 911T that just showed up.

How do you save and upload a webp file from BAT? Not an IT guy (obviously....)

Edit: Ok, I used the snipping tool, but couldn't figure out how to edit the thread post to move the pic to the bottom of the post....so it's "stuck" at the top. Sorry, this is probably simple for everyone else..clearly my inexperience is showing....

EDIT!!! This car was imported through my dad's dealership.... see the image of the invoice a few posts below...

Yep. This would be a great place to document/discuss cars listed for sale on Bring a Trailer. I'll make it a sticky.

As for your personal car, I'd recommend a new topic in this section with a link to the auction. I think that'll get you the most exposure.

As for webp images, kind of a PITA. Here's one option:

Also, on a PC, you can use the Snipping Tool to snip an image from any web page and save it to your PC.

Excellent idea Eric.

Much easier to cross reference when we want to realistically price things.

Simple formula: Final BaT price minus 10%.
20% on sport seats.
30% on improperly done sport seats.

Well, I looked a bit more carefully at the information on the red 911T I had listed and a few things looked rather familiar. Turns out the car came through my dad's dealership. Only one piece of paperwork, but it mentions all the salient items.

I inspected this car when it was owned by Jack Anderson circa ~2011 in Gig Harbor. Very nice car, someone has done some sympathetic clean up type items to it since then. Should have bought it but back then there were enough cars that we could turn our noses up at Bahia...

What's wrong with Bahia? It's the best early RED, and pretty RARE at that.....

Speaking of Bahia, and BAT......stay tuned for a possible pleasant surprise....

Sold for $127,500 plus $5,000 commission. Doesn't seem out of line to me. Especially for BaT.

Agreed. NOW...let'w discuss THIS ONE: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...-911s-coupe-7/

First item to catch my EYE: the name John Esposito.

So JP...is this thread going to be BaT cars, or just BaT stuff...seats, carbs, etc?
And there is nothing wrong with Bahia Red.
I have a 70 S Bahia Red coupe Frank let me acquire that is next in the resto queue.
Definitely a more palatable color than Sepia Brown...just say'in.

Welcome Lars!
I will never understand why your username is your favorite evening wear.

When someone bashes Bahia Red they can't be serious. It has to be one of the best period colors.

I vote BaT everything but happy to go with the crowd.

Boy, the Esposito story, huh? Like a slow motion train crash.

I don't get this car. That's a lot of $$ into a car with a non-matching engine. And then to choose almost everything else to be stock? I think the market is loving both highly original cars and well done hotrods right now. This one isn't either. Will be interesting to watch. You never know with a silver car. They seem to go both ways.

Maybe this forum needs its own Esposito thread.

Seriously, I visited Esposito's shop years ago and saw decent work in progress. It seems that the shop went bad at some point. It would help to hear from someone who knows the story first-hand, and not just the bad stuff. Anyone know the exact name of the business?

The car looks very nice, though I'm not a fan of overly restored cars. The car was modified for track use. Esposito had a Cellette, so it might have been correctly restored. Or not.
