SAAC Forum

I find the entire auction process with ABB to be totally unclear and even a bit suspicious.  Refundable deposit-the higher the deposit the more you can bid.  And, if you don't win, you then have to log back on to claim your deposit-no thanks.  Terrible listing-no pic. of the dash tag, no underside pics., no info. on block #'s etc.  And now you might, might not have to be a "dealer" to bid.  Tells me they either don't care, don't know or just don't give a shit.  From the listing, I had no idea when the auction was set to start and end and, when I called, the girl told me that the length of the auction depends on the level of interest... might be 30 minutes, might be several hours.  Bottom line for anyone interested in the car is that it needs to be inspected (if they'll allow it) and then some thorough homework done on the legalities of the deposit and bidding process.  Just another f-up auction house that churns and burns their inventory with no thought given to what they're actually selling-imo.   

Sold-did I see the final correct at $38,500.00

Doing that as we speak. 

Agreed on the 20k posts-that aside, all I'm asking for is whether anyone on this Forum has any relevant info. on knowledge on the car before I do/don't decide to bid.  The listing and pics are terrible and I don't know the auction house.   

Is there any other info. out there on this one-number match, rust, panel swaps, previous owners etc. 

Looking for a driver quality or maybe a bit higher '69/'70 vert.  350 and stick preferred but not a deal breaker. 

Ok-now I'm just pissed off.  Can we please just let the owner sell whatever car it is that's for sale.

Are you looking to sell your '70 vert that is disassembled or am I reading your post incorrectly.

I think I may have phrased the post poorly-what I'm getting at is, when looking at what is put out there as an "original" paint car, how can I tell whether it may have been repainted-other than some overspray and other tell tale signs.

Not mine-no affiliation.  '67 #2689 on FB for sale in East Hampton, NY

What should my paint gauge read (approx.) on a 50 year old original paint car.  Thx.

Not mine and no affiliation.  Facebook from 19 hours ago-in Berkley Mass.  I live 15 minutes away if anyone needs my help.

Bill-no doubt, your diligence probably saved someone a whole bunch of headaches and, needless to say, pesos.  Love this kind of honest follow up.     

So, Branda lists the same bracket for both the '69 and '70 models-are they one in the same for both years?  Thx.

Thank you gentlemen and I agree on rebuilding the original which is in the car.
