Interesting - I wonder what the story is there. Just didn't find the magic in it?

Im sure someone will ask that question. BTW, seller already bought 2 vehicles in BaT (zhp and 2003 Tacoma).

Fredo - I usually do what I think you do, meaning I search the VIN to see if it was previously sold on BaT. When I do it on this car though, that prior sale doesn't come up in the BaT search. But if I manually go look at past ZHP auctions chronologically, I see it did sell on 9/17/20 on BaT. Did the search work for you (when mine didn't)? Just curious if you have a different technique??

Current bid is 18k dlls with 30 min to go. Let’s see if it sells for more than last year’s $ 24,500.

"The drivers seat bolster is in excellent condition. I will add a photo over the weekend.

Shortly after I received the car, a driver reversed slowly into me and bumped the front of the hood. The dent was small and the hood was still fully operable. Rather than attempting a cosmetic repair, I was able to have a new OEM replacement hood installed."

Looks like you did it the right way rather than do the cosmetic repair/repaint. Sorry to see you had to sell this car.... very nice specimen :thumbsup

Interesting factoid: This is the first auction won by the winning bidder. But he has made 511 bids.
