:iagree: . . . . . . Yep.

[mrmustang]

Did I mention the chassis number, along with the numbers off the drivetrain (head/block, carbs, etc)?

[Kitcat]

I suspect "best offer" means just that.

[Robert O. Urfer]

I will start off the bidding $5000

[RoyzMG]

And where is the car located?

[mrmustang]

I will start off the bidding $5000

 

$5001 :jester:

[ihckb2]

Does the vehicle have registration?

Where is it registered?

Does it have any leans?

What is the serial # ?

Record of build?

 

Is it part of an estate?

Is it stolen?

Is it part of a seizure?

 

I sure would not bid on it without more details.

 

If its too good to be true .......

you know the old saying

Looks like "best offer" was edited out of the first post and replaced with a reserve. :rofl:

Turns out I bought a 1994 jeep Wrangler with a plow from this guy back in 2005/2006 I recognize his garage.

It is gorgeous. It is just pristine. Immaculate. Like a brand new car yet to be sullied on a drive. It really is a work of art. So great....but what do you do with it? Its value in this Fleabay auction comes from either leaving it as a museum piece or starting to use it as intended. However, the moment you use it a delayed depreciation kicks in. What a difficult decision to make?

 

Putting aside that, I do admire this car - truly remarkable time capsule.

[tedtaylor]

what do you mean by "delayed depreciation"? If it can be bought right now for $26K, are you saying once driven, it's only worth $20K or less?

please explain.

Pretty much, these cars are not investments, but toys to be used at will. As soon as you get a stone chip, oil drip, leaf in the interior, add mileage to it,etc and so forth, your "investment" just dropped by 20% just like any other car you buy off the showroom floor. Unless of course you were smart enough to buy a new Ford GT when they first came out.

As always with Ebay auctions, might I suggest that before you bid, you check to the bidder history of the highest bidders to look for "irregularities".

 

 

Just a friendly service announcement from the guy who bought the very first car ever listed on ebay (documented by Ebay I might add )........
