Bruce, I bet $10K wouldn't even come close...
Engine and transmission rebuilds $4-5K min
Repro armour?
Sandblasting and paint $2-3K min
Bearings, seals, hardware, electrical items plus all the missing do-dads and things to make it right and make it complete.
I was really surprised recently to see what the price of sandblasting is these days.
There is a really nice and quite complete T16 on Ebay at the moment that is around $5700USD that has not hit reserve yet but is likely a much better starting point.

Looks like the bidding stopped when $12,000 US didn't meet the reserve.

Bruce

No doubt the seller feels he will do better. Personally, I would have accepted an offer of about 2K on a hull like that and ran with the money. Mind you the wildcard is the condition of the track, sprockets and roadwheels. His roadwheels look good and the sprockets show some life. If the track is in the same condition, then that would warrant some mark up on the expected sales price. But to turn down a bid of 12K USD....yikes.

Default Walkerton carrier

At one point he has three carriers in various states in the yard. A friend went in to enquire about them and the story was they had been sold into the USA and waiting for the deal to close. That was a while back.
