The M3 comes with years of hard work but at least it has some spades....to dig your own grave

This tank was for sale for the longest time at $275,000, it appears the interior was only resprayed and some of the British bits taken out, someone must have picked it up and is trying to make a lot more money on it, supposedly the reserve was raised during the auction..

Taking into account it was on sale for a long time, I reckon the current owner got this Grizzly for roughly half of what was bid at auction. Factoring in the cost of transportation and the spruce up, that 480k could have been a nice and quick return on the investment with a nice margin. He will now have to wait till the next bidder with even deeper pockets to come along...

Question post auction activity

I think a lot of those "No Sale" high reserve auctions generate after-market negotiations and sales. Will be interesting to see who shows up with it in the coming months...new owner? old owner?
