Buy a car without physically seeing it

I found that 68 with the 6.1L hemi. They want $99,500 for it. yeah, it's not going to sell. https://classics.autotrader.com/classic-cars/1968/plymouth/barracuda/101956294 It's nicely done, but i just don't see anyone bidding over 50 at auction. I bet their reserve is in the 60's at least.

i figured it was well over 60, and honestly they probably have damn near that into it.

if you sit down and think about it, how many hours of labor are into a car like that? 200? 300? that's easily 20~30K right there. then what, another 20K on paint and body. tally up the rest and you're nearly to triple digits.
