Pretty car. I agree the peak has settled some. I would think it's BaT or the other sites. Not both. I might put it on Hemmings or Hagerty for a while. See what it does. I guess the real risk is you might leave money on the table because you don't know what it might bring on BaT...

My thought is that the Z cars that bring big money on BaT are bone stock. Even though all the mods are tasteful and make the car better, the BaT crowd might not agree. I hope the OP gets what he wants wherever he decides to sell it. 

A 72 up in Canuckistan.

Anyone we know?

 

Doesn't look familiar. Hope he's not expecting much, that car needs a lot of work.

Anybody notice this one go by?  If you're gonna modify, modify bigly.

I like that blue car. It brought good money!

The 72 with an L28 that Harmon Restorations had on BAT went for $48,300.

It does look pretty rough under there.

This 72 BRE tribute sold for $28,200. Odd things, cars like this. Under the hood it has tubing like the race car had, a continuation of the roll cage and chassis stiffening structure, but it looks only cosmetic. There is no cage structure in the cabin, which looks completely stock.

It also lacks a strut tower bar.

If the BRE is street legal the sale price seems like a good deal but I just glanced over the bat.com listing.

To change the subject a bit - Had a 280 recently sold on BAT towed to my shop for a once over for the new owner. The car has very low mileage. It almost goes without saying that the rear brakes were frozen. Got the right rear wheel off and discovered this "modification" had been done to the fuel pump.

As these cars age I see more and more generations of butchers plying their trade but this is a new one on me!.

Now, what was he trying to address with this trick?     Cheers
