Yea, that was a big miss and likely led to not getting reserve. The fact that it's a race-able, period correct, BMW e9 should be enough...
Anyway, I would like to think the car could stand on its own two feet (4 wheels), and people take it for what it is.
Agreed, this car is also probably out of Mecum's wheelhouse, so to speak. There is probably a better auction house or venue to sell this type of BMW race car, one that better understands the brand and racing history.The problem is that the car had almost no supporting information. Bidders weren’t given the opportunity to take it for what it was. Additionally, Mecum may have lost potential bidders who assumed it was out of their range. A race-spec genuine batmobile is in a different ballpark than a salvaged CSiA.
Anyway, not trying to beat a dead horse.
If you don't wear a mask in Australia they will prosecute you, right after they tackle you to the ground and beat you like a rented mule.You'd probably be prosecuted for that in Australia.
Well, sort of period correct... HSR isn't too picky. As I said, they both seem like decent builds, but presenting it as a CSL isn't Kosher.Yea, that was a big miss and likely led to not getting reserve. The fact that it's a race-able, period correct, BMW e9 should be enough...
Couple of years ago Mecum sold a Samba member a 21 Deluxe Bus, touted as full docs, bare shell, yada yada... dude spent mid-six figures.
Turned out to be a Brazilian bus with roof added, had two VINs, a total freakin' nightmare. Mecum chose to protect the seller. In litigation now.

We take the same approach with gun control. Seems to be working well so far.
