Re: E-BAY 65 POS (Mag Red Man)
Some joker put that it would sell for $25K. :lol: :lol: :lol: I hope that was some kind of joke. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Seriously, if that sells for that much I am selling my car on e-bay for $75K.
Enjoy,
Curt

Re: E-BAY 65 POS (396 RAT)
I can't believe someone bid $15,600 for this thing and the reserve still has not been met! Its a mess and that is just from what can be seen in the photos.
Makes me appreciate what I have!

Re: E-BAY 65 POS (396 RAT)
Curtis was right in the other thread. If the lazy seller would have washed it and preped it for a pic the Ebayers would go nuts :crazy: Something like this should be only a few thousand and sold to a kid who will love it. Even though it will be a money pit.

Re: E-BAY 65 POS (Tom73)
Yeah, one or more of his friends are helping him by placing bids to make it look like people are really interested. That is my guess. I can see a few people that don't know any better, but I don't think 16 real bids have been bid.
JMHO,

16 bids = :bs

Re: E-BAY 65 POS (Curtis)
I think Curtis is right. Those bids seem bogus, because anybody who could actually put together $15k would HAVE to know that there are other Mid-Years out there that are much better values. Even on this forum, in the Cars for Sale section is a guy selling a good-looking supercharged '66 for only $17k!
I'm tempted to bid $15,700, then wait to get outbid by one of this guy's buddies. Then after bidding closes, I'll bet I'd get a phone call telling me how lucky I am because the winning bidder couldn't come up with the cash, so now I get to be the lucky buyer!

Re: E-BAY 65 POS (396 RAT)
I agree totally, no one in there right mind would bid this up the 15K. Maybe if it would have been a matching BB but that's the only way. I can see putting 30K in it and it still won't be a matching car. Carlisle had cheaper hoods.

Re: E-BAY 65 POS (396 RAT)
I like where they say it has been started occasionally. yeah you can really tell that by the leaves packed in the engine compartment. why even bother with that statement when you can tell it's a bunch of bull. I feel sorry for the guy who buys that. :U

Re: E-BAY 65 POS (396 RAT)
I must say that I'm impressed with the pre-sale preparation that has gone into this vette.
I must say though that there are many that would not be put off by the pending project and I in fact restored a Mustang a few years back that was in similar condition but at least I bought it at a reasonable price which allowed for the required input of restoration dollars but looking at the price allready bid, someone is going to have a very high investment by the time they're done.

Re: E-BAY 65 POS (ajtorsiello)
Here's my theory on presentation.
He figures that the only person buying this baby is someone who requires a massive challenge....something he can brag about when the restoration is finished.
You know.......here is what it was.......look at it now!
Don't we all know this type?

Re: E-BAY 65 POS (Tom/99)
This car is not going to sell.
The seller had his bud's place high priced bids just under the
reserve.:bs At $15,600 the reserve is not yet met.!!!
His reserve is no doubt $15,700.00 or so.
Its going to be a "no sale".
For all I care that thing can rott into dust. :U

Re: E-BAY 65 POS (396 RAT)
I think the guy could sell ten cars like that '65 for $15,000 each. If it was a '63-4 model, a coupe, or an automatic, forget it.
Every month somebody calls me looking for a mid-year to buy. They all want a '65-7 convertible with a 4-speed and factory air.
I think those bidders are legit and will bid it a little higher at the end. Personally, I hope a restorer saves it from being rendered into parts.
