Tell me about it. I'm needing a rebuild after 20 hrs. I'll probably be down for a year.

Think these cars should be appreciated for what they were designed for, a "sports" car.

Fritz get her back out. I love watching you shred your Fd in your videos. As for me well I get a warm fuzzy feeling when i see the prices of an Fd increase but mine is not for sale. Mine is to enjoy and it's currently going through a build to do double duty. 80 percents street and 20 percent track build. My 12 year old son is constantly asking when he can drive it. He is 12 and has been racing gokarts for a few years but he will have to wait. Raising a future rotard what a bad father I am. Lol

Not many of those own an FD though. But I agree, the longer this goes the more cars will come up for sale at lower pricing.

I bet a ton of brand new mustangs come up for sale though.

This should be interesting.

I'm guessing 30k plus even in this crazy environment.

agreed. a couple of friends bought similar cars with similar mileages from dealerships in 1999-2000, i think for about the same money (i wanna say 28k?)

Adams car was a much nicer example with super nice mods.

That said it wasn't a base model

I can't believe it's already at 33k. I think we'll see it go close to 40 and then stop but you never know it could go to 50. This is the hardest FD in US to find.

The owner of this car is in the Facebook FS group, I think he said he is looking to get $40k out of it.

My initial guess on the white FD on BaT was $30 - 35k, but there really seems to be a lot of interest so I wouldn't be surprised if it broke out over $40k.

Also goes to show what good photos can do! These are some of the best I've seen on that site.

@Fritz Flynn you should put your red r2 on there.

White car is killing me, but I wouldn't know what to do with two and too lazy/busy to switch chassis. One FD is so many, I find. Montego Blue has me in a choke hold and I'm just gonna tap out.

It's the last FD I have other than my track car so currently enjoying it. I've put 1k miles on it the last couple of months. It's also the only sports car I have to run around in so I may as well keep it for a while longer and this is a really bad time to sell. I'd be surprised if I got more than 35k on BAT at this time. I suspect this white FD will sell for about 35k which is actually a REALLY good price all things considered. However as we all know it's the most valuable FD so who knows it may go to 40k plus. It's the 1st one of it's kind to be listed on BAT.

He already has an offer of $42k outside of BAT but has to let BAT run its course. I'm unsure if the one who made the offer is aware it is on BAT currently. I wont say his reserve price but he will be upset if it barely hits it as he will be leaving a good chunk of money on the table.

I bet it stops at $37k.

The seller’s presentation is poor, he threw up a bunch of Instagram photos and then did nothing to clean the underside of the car. A full detail of the car That included the underside would have been worth the money.

Damn.. With the updated photos and video I thought the presentation was pretty top notch. Doesn't appear to be making any attempts to hide anything.

I’m not saying the seller is misrepresenting anything, just that he’s costing himself a few $K for not having the underside detailed.

I doubt it. It's not a show car. Bottoms of cars get dirty. For anyone seriously looking for a collector FD, they are thinking, I'd pay more for that rare model if only they had cleaned the bottom.

If all the pictures were crap, then yes, it would get dinged for presentation.

Really hard to make projections when there's a deadly virus out there that could mutate, may or may not find a cure/vacc, may or may not spread to every city etc...etc...

Crazy times and not the time to sell unless you have something important you can use the money for or buy without the car being a very good deal. Right now at 33k I don't consider this car a good deal much less a great deal so I'm fascinated for sure with this auction

Did anyone else notice the oil leaking from the pictures on the white one on BAT? Is that normal? Also the repainted front bumper kind of has a different shade when looking at different angles. It will probably sell for 37-38k.
