Was just looking at the pictures, and I noticed that they used clip on weights in a style I've never seen before.
1984 VW Rabbit Pick-up - Not stock
1988 944 Turbo S - Really not stock (Chris White special)
2012 VW Tiguan - Kinda stock
2013 Cayenne Base - 6 Speed! Tastefully modified, mostly stock

No reserve on the 951, and it's over $90k with 3 hours to go.

Not the best looking, but probably Wurth weights because, Germany. And if those are the original Goodyear Eagles, they are not fit for the road. My car came with its original tires (at 32k miles) and, at 15+ years old, they were hard as glass and even more dangerous on the road. In the first rain, they spun out like on oiled ice.Darwin wrote: Mon Jan 10, 2022 8:22 am Was just looking at the pictures, and I noticed that they used clip on weights in a style I've never seen before.

I don't think the 944 go any higher before it ends. Some people were saying it would go for at least 150k...

We shall see soon! Most BAT auctions end with a flurry of bids at the last minute. I'm mean, if you're spending $90k on a 944, what's another 10 or 20 grand....Darwin wrote: Mon Jan 10, 2022 9:58 am I don't think the 944 go any higher before it ends.

I have an odd question. The pics show the car supported at the front almost parallel with the rear frame support point. What is it resting on in front?
My understanding is the round assembly lift points in front (not sure if that's where it's resting) should not be used and on my own car, they came pushed up--a result no doubt of previous jacking. In fact, this clearly caused the arm of a shop lift to hit the lower sill and I even have outward-bending dents on both fenders to correspond.
So.. is this proper to lift like it is? I was thinking of getting one of those quick-lift jacks but always wondering where would I place it in front? As it stands, I only support on the rails in front which are quite a bit inward
