What’s your expectations @DavidE9? (Price range) Not often we see the owner involved in dialogue while the auction is going on a different platform! Rooting for you.
I don't think it would be appropriate for @DavidE9 to state his reserve here. We can wait two hours. I've watched all of David's videos and he seems like the scrappy type that can find great deals on vehicles. I can only imagine that he will come out ahead after a little bit of sweat equity that he put into the car. GLWS David!
The only important action happens in the last 10 mins....
The last 10 mins can last an hour. Clock resets to 2 mins after every bid. No snipping.How long does that last ten minutes last?
I also expected bids to go higher.
I wonder if 3 things hindered better bids
(1) Canada to USA: this is WAY overblown in difficulty. I’ve done it and it was truly painless and simple. I might have spent as much as 36 min at the border for the processing, and I didn’t use an import agent. I might have spent a total of 2 hours preparing the paperwork per a well documented process.
(2) front seats. I would redo/install a set of original seats and include the cool Scheel’s as extras. The OE seats are functionally inferior but look better in pictures
(3) some folks have bought into the hoax called global warming ;-) and this might ding the value of non-AC cars for some bidders.
I was surprised at the lack of guys over 7’ tall asking if they’d fit.

I think a 2.5 percent duty to bring the car back into the US will apply. Once, they have been in Canada for a while, you have to pay duty.
