Sooo, you thought that R-code was a little rough for the price?

NOT MINE, an interesting Ebay, uhhhh, project:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws-/281211028141?roken=FRBCFF

I just can't imagine what is going on here. I gotta be missing the punch line.

Whew.

Perspective, my friends...

 

[mpbsr]

Unless it's James Dean's porsche and really a '55...I can't believe that's going to sell for such a high price and from a seller with zero feedback.

 

[MotoArts]

Shill bidders with such high feedbacks?

Already checked that out.

Still doesn't compute...

 

[Doug The Dog]

Maybe it's a rare serial #. I don't get it.

 

[73vertproject]

Looking at the car and the bidding history, I have to scratch my head, too.

 

[caspianwendell]

I agree...doesn't make sense to me

... said every "classic Mustang guy" that ever looked at an ebay auction for a '71, '72, or '73 model no matter what the bid was up to. rofl

 

[Boss1Ray]

Obviously at least 46 other people know something about this car that we do not.

Possibly heavy race history - logbook and SCCA connections?

::huh:::

I gotta o riginal pinto emblem that ain't burnt up I need post on fleabay.

 

[Jim and Jutta]

Only thing I can figure is the bidding is based upon it being from the Roosevelt estate but what I find hilarious is that they go out of their way to point out the cheap trailer it's on doesn't go with the car. 46K and bidding isn't over.

 

[imusa76]

$46,100 WOW!!! in that condition, they should atleast include the trailer

there has to be Race history behind the car.

[72HCODE]

this was another one

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1957-Porsche-356-Speedster-/130942294171?ViewItem=&item=130942294171&nma=true&si=3REMC5Rzd%252BzVufoH1zgb42zUzhY%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

http://www.sportscardigest.com/cars-for-sale/yard-find-1957-porsche-356-speedster/

bidding went to 80K the auction was pulled before sale.

 

[imusa76]

So after readign a few fourms about Porsches, the car has no value, but the Vin tag is worth the $$$.

 

[Go Time]

They should include the trailer because it will probably fall completely apart when its removed from the trailer

 

[Jim and Jutta]

Well the VIN#s on the car and title sold for $57,200.00.

 

[JimNiki]

Man, that's dearer by weight than gold!

 

[caspianwendell]

I would never dreamed a car of any kind in that condition would go for that much money

 

[MotoArts]

A Tiger that I watched sell for just under $10K was in very similar shape.

And I thought that was the top of my "OMG are you nuts" scale.

Lotsa diversity in our hobby. Ya learn something new every day I guess LOL.
