Mr. Wolf will be using the Bring A Trailer website to find a new home for the Land Rover. Scheduled to leave Jefferson City on March 18. Mr. Wolf will then do his magic and list the truck along with lots of photos, videos (see comment below) and information that will get the best price possible. I’ll wager nobody does this better than Mr. Wolf. By way of example, this Rally-Style, 390 FE-Powered 1949 Lincoln 9EL Club Coupe 5-Speed. I first saw this car while visiting Mr. Wolf in 2018.
I was curious about the number (and similarities) of the BaT photos:
For the Land Rover “it will require (at least) a few hundred current photos, plus video. On “serious” cars I’ll shoot ~750 and whittle it down to about 500.”
“All of those nearly-same photos are about catching a reflection, then moving that reflection down to the next body line, to allow potential bidders to assess bodywork, paint quality, panel gaps, trim alignment, etc. When I set out to buy a car on BaT, I’ll spend an hour or more combing through hundreds of those kinds of photos on a big, properly calibrated monitor. And if a vehicle is listed without those kinds of photos, then I bid accordingly, or not at all. “
Based on the BaT comments (see below), videos like this one can really spark the bidding.
Bottom line: Mr. Wolf more than earns his commission…and it will be fun to watch this final chapter unfold.
Comment on BaT: “The only better driving video I have seen on here is that 300SL shredding the backroads of WI last year. Man, this thing is awesome.”
