I think this car holds many secrets, one that appears not so hidden is that the seller is borderline retarded or at least fulfills the redneck Bubba stereotype.

If you ever see a 'Vette advertised with the headlights up, it's because the vacuum system isn't working right.

I don't think NASCAR uses 427's only 350's. Hood is an eye sore too, how do you see around/over it?

I was wondering how he used it for show with the missing taillight and gas cap.

One of the bidders retracted their bid because of something wrong with the photos. That is probably what he say also.

But do you think this is a pretty good deal from 9000?

NEVER RACED USED AS A SHOW CAR, WILL TRAVEL AT SPEEDS OVER 190 MPH,
....
ASK FOR SHERIFF GUN
Don't know much about the value, but if it was never raced, I would LOVE to know where in the hell this SHERIFF was going 190MPH?!?!?!
Maybe he'll pay my speeding ticket I got a couple months back.
:lol:

Sounds like the car is set up for drag racing. With a 4 speed and any gear over 3 you would be turning 10k+ rpms at 190. That sheriff has been sampling the evidence. :crazy:

Take a real close look at the fender behind the tire and close to the hood on the drivers side? What the hell is going on there? Might be a photo glitch but I see it the same thing from two angles. That must be why the one bidder retracted.

Even if the engine would only have 600 HP - the engine alone would be worth the current bid price... However - I wouldn't buy a car through EBAY without personally inspecting it before!

Just noticed something odd in the ad. It shows that the car comes with Anti Lock Brakes....

I agree - look slike some poor quality photo touchup going on there - also - if this engine is so fantastic - wheres the picture of it?
and - what kind of shows would you show this rather poorly cared for car in?

no picts of engine
no close picts of car - nearest is about 20'
no picts of interior

no chance this car is worth what he wants

anti-lock brakes - no problem - if the brakes dont work - they cant lock :lol:

So you bid and get it. Then you head down to find it's not quite up to the ad. Do you then tell the sheriff that you'll just be on your way...sorry, I've seen too many movies.

I like the paint job personally. I absolutely HATE that hood though. That is the gayest (is that even a word?) thing I have ever seen. But I wouldnt mind have that kind of horsepower. :yesnod:
