You never know with BAT. All it takes is 2 buyers who want it bad enough. I can see it bringing $160k.

Well I just took a gamble on my 4th R. This just popped up. I’ve been looking for an R with a bit of miles so I can actually drive it. At this price, I think I did good. They have a 7 day return policy so I’ll take a chance...

One just sold recently still on MSO and in the wrapper in the market section for $99,000
I sold my 11 mile HEP R with 11 miles on it in July for $101k
A friend of mine sold his wrapper HEP R still on MSO with 6 miles last week for $115k. He traded it for a C7 ZR1 so there was that variable.
People that own them get very defensive when the long term collectibility of the HEP comes up, and it’s understandable. It’s a neat concept and color. Ford missed the mark on the vinyl stickers and red stitching on the interior.
One thing is for sure is many have been “collected”. Many of the...
