It is going at no reserve. It's going to sell for what it's going to sell for.

Hopefully history will be made at Barrett Jackson Las Vegas 2022, when the little truck crosses the block at around 2pm July 2nd, be sure to watch it on the History Channel.

Received a few messages after the auction of people wanting me to build them a truck. Not sure if that’s what I want to do or not yet. Need to get settled in Florida first.

Wow, 175,000! That should ease the pain of having to sell it at least a little bit.

It's cool that it set an auction world record for the sale of a Metro, but it's brought out a bunch of haters. It is bittersweet, I've enjoyed building it and sharing it with you here on this forum. For 10 years I got to play and enjoy this amazing vehicle that I built and in the end I got the money back that I put into in, and that's all I can ask for. I would like to thank everyone here who followed it's journey, now that journey is complete. Thank You
THE END
