Never seen this before on a car that didn't meet reserve.

@bandit1 – Congratulations on the win! @Inhotpursuit – this car did indeed sell. The highest bid was very close to the reserve, so we decided to cover the difference at our cost. Please check your email for instructions. Thanks!

It happens but it's rare. I'm guessing if BAT can still make money with the buyers fee after kicking in a few bucks to make the deal.
 
On the way home from work Thursday.

I don’t like white (sorry @Carson ) but I like the Targa top.

Then that evening my youngest sons good friends dad owns a Fire dealership after years working for others. Guess he decided to buy himself a new toy.

2019 Carrera 4S with only 22K miles. I’m not sure if it has any mods but man the turbo sound off this thing is sweet. Made my whole house rumble when he pulled up and I could hear him driving away for at least a mile. My son was thrilled to go for a ride even if he had to stuff himself in the back. Paul (the dad) promised me a ride soon.

M5 at Home Depot today.

I think both can look pretty good/mean with some mods.....same cannot be said about that dodge lol.

Yeah those quad rectangular headlights 🙄 Tho I suppose the motor in that thing is worth a few grand?
 
Ha. My first car was a ‘78 Fairmont Futura. Spent way more than I should have on mag wheels and tires for that thing. Could barely get out of its own way with that straight 6.
Haha I built up my 77 Monte Carlo in the same way. I had slotted aluminum wheels and stuffed wider rear tires and smaller front tires on it to make it look jacked.

Once I redid the top end of the motor (carb, cam, heads, etc) and added headers the collectors would scrape the ground even on those little highway rollers inhad to add chevelle station wagon springs to the front to keep the car from sagging. Probably explains why the chassis mounts eventually gave out.

Mine never looked this good but I would dream about restoring it.
