Hot Rods TRADITIONAL Hot Rods on BRING A TRAILER

With the apparently on hiatus (i.e., no active listings since August of 2023), I thought it might be okay to post some of the TRADITIONAL Hot Rods (currently or previously) listed on the site . . . if it’s not okay, the Mods can certainly just delete this thread.

Not knocking your proposal, but, at one time (to me), BAT was really cool, you know, when the cars (usually) actually needed a trailer to transport them.
I liked to scan it now and then just to discover some little gem, not to buy, just browse.
It seems now, everybody uses it, everything from Rolls Royce to RR's.
And when did it become cool to build a coffee table from a Ferarri engine, guessing about the same time "man caves" became popular.
And by the way, what's going on with the HAMB auction house?

 

yep, too many high priced rides on BaT now

I used to follow BaT pretty closely, but over the last couple years it's turned into mostly clean used late model stuff. Most of those are sports cars or higher-end stuff I suppose, but nothing that interests me. I've seen a few really good deals there on some of the early cars though, I don't think the crowd that actually buys stuff off of BaT is into 50's and earlier stuff.

Let's not forget the deal somebody got on this one:

Guy had to been a little squirrelly to list it with no reserve.

 

Note that the verbiage under each car photo I posted (e.g.,1929 Ford Roadster), is actually a hyperlink to the Bring-A-Trailer listing . . . which includes the full description of the car, dozens more photos of the car, & a video or two of the car . . . and rest assured the link is valid (i.e., won’t take you to an inappropriate or scam website).

 

I picked up my 29 roadster from BAT in 22

 

Beautiful.

 

I guess the thing that got my attention is the fact that there are so many traditional cars for sale. Is the mainstream finally growing tired of traditional cars? Is the van craze next? Will a 1977 Chevy short van with original Frank Franzetta mural and porthole window bring $225,000 at Barrett Jackson?

 

He posted 15 cars that covered a year span. I fail to consider that a lot for a far-reaching auction website. Life circumstances change, people want to try something new, etc.

 

Others may say, you should have been charged with Grand Theft Auto
