You could try putting it up at http://www.modifiedcadillac.org/forum/index.php.  The CLC people get their manties in a wad sometimes but here's their forum https://www.cadillaclasalleclub.org/page/forum.  Let me know if you have any problems on the Modified Cadillac site.

I tried listing my 50 year old Mustang pedal car on Bring a Trailer, but they rejected that too. Yet I’ve seen them sell a set of Porsche wheels on there. I don’t get it. Sometimes they want to make a commission, sometimes they don't.frown

You could try Doug DeMuros BaT alternative "cars and bids". https://carsandbids.com/

It just launched a couple days ago so there's only a few cars in it right now.

B.A.T is a sellout to greed. Was a much better site before the auctioning of overpriced cars going through it now.

This has the potential to be very dangerous to me.

I'm not sure I agree with that.  I do hear of some vehicles or items, like in this thread, where I'm baffled they are rejected, but on the whole they tend to have some cool stuff.  By their own admission they want a cross section of, on the whole, way above average examples of cool, interesting, different and unusual cars.  There's normally a cross section of $10k to $100+K cars on their to cater to all budgets.  I know they keep a lid on the number of auctions at one time so not everything can get on their.  No site, business etc. is perfect, I but I have few issues with BAT.

In my defense, it's an '86 C-10 2WD that rides like a fat chick.  All you need is a Churchill cigar and a small white fluffy dog on your lap .

They probably balked at the RWL tires and missing extensions. BaT will take 80s Americana, but it generally has to be pristine. Euro stuff seems to get more leeway.

I'd be really really interested in the next month, except the whole reason I'm vehicle shopping is to fit the family in it. 

I've loved that thing since you bought it, I just can't have another 2 seat truck right now

They rejected my Mazdamaro.   They had some other Lemons cars on there.  It isn't Bring A Trailer anymore, it is Bring an 18-wheeler Car Hauler now.  That is fine, I just don't even look at it anymore.

I've ridden a few fat chicks...not always a bad thing. devil​​​​​​

But, at risk of insulting you car, I can see this being very Moped-like. Fun to ride/drive but not really something you want to admit to your friends or have your friends see you with.  

So, yeah, an '86 C-10 2WD that rides like a fat chick.

I agree 100 percent. I rarely go on that site ever anymore. I'm contemplating selling my 89 Delica Starwagon, and it's been recommended I use them, but I won't.

I bet the dead head center caps and lack of bumper fillers killed it for BAT

You might want to look at

It seems more like what BAT used to be before they sold out. $50 to list it and they offer a full refund if you are not satisfied.

That site is called Bring a Trailer...but you are so right. Now, it's bring your cashed-in 401k!

I don't get people complaining that BAT has sold out. They've built a very successful business selling a cross section of cars. Normally, but not always, high to excellent condition. Many in the GRM fan $5-15k range. How or why is that selling out?  I just don't get the hate.
