2006 GP on BAT

Looks to be a very nice low mileage car and with less than five and half hours left it’s at $13,250

 

That GP has been ruined in my estimation. Maybe a good detail man could bring it back. If not it will be a GP that needs paint. Heck even the interior has stickers plastered on it.

That red JCW looks sweet. Don't worry gang I won't bid the price up. I'm staying with GTI's & Babs will never give up Skooby.

 

The red JCW went for $19,250

 

The GP is at $10,922 with three days to go

 

The GP is at $13,300 with about twelve hours to go.

 

Even with bad paint that would be a very good deal. Is there a reserve on it or no reserve?

 

No Reserve

 

Less than three hours and is $13,550

 

Really surprised with less than 90 minutes to go and absolutely no action. I realize it’s not a pristine garage queen but it’s still a low mileage GP.

 

Blame it on the Corona Virus.

 

Not the virus it's all that carp stuck all over it that really has devalued this GP. Why the seller didn't hire a detail guy to bring the paint back is pretty dumb. He saved a couple hundred & lost thousands.

This car deserves a caring owner. Time to put your bid in Jeff.

 

It appears to have sold for $13,550. It would seem like it was good deal for the buyer.

 

Plus 2k to take off the crap, then 2k to bring up the paint to acceptable standards a nice shine.

 

I could most likely do it myself, but it would take all winter & part of the spring. I'm old, slow & methodical these days.

It's much easier keeping after Skooby & the Bread-Van these days.

 

I don’t know what BAT charges for the transaction and which party pays but someone got a great diamond in the rough deal. We saw Dave.0 do some very remarkable work on a number of cars working in his driveway and single bay garage. I don’t mean to make it seem like it would be a walk in the park but with a few tools a some elbow grease one could have a very nice driver.

 

I think I could have fixed all of the decal mess over time... hell, I probably repainted or polished out Rufus to the same extent that a fix of the decals would take.. I might have been tempted if I didn't already have Rufus out in the garage. That really was a good price. Add $1000 to return any aftermarket / modded stuff to stock and you'd have a pretty clean GP.

I was also very encouraged by the 12,000 mile red JCW that sold for $18k. Rufus has 80k on the clock, but now looks much the same (as long as you don't want an OEM car and like my taste in mods). I don't keep Rufus as an investment... I keep him as a toy to be enjoyed, but it's always nice to know that there is a strong market out there for an asset.

 

Crazy bidding and it’s up to $30,000 with five days to go.
