Fire Sale, literally
Quite the collection of burned and badly wrecked midyear Corvettes. I'm pretty surprised to see the bidding at almost $70,000. Tough to say what one would be able to make, if anything, off of buying these midyears at above that price, even if the split window was real and not a 64.

Wow, seems the bidding is way over value now. Seeing it hasnt met reserve, Im going to assume its a fake bid.
Questions at the bottom ask about the "64 split window" thing, and yet theres someone else asking if the split window is for sale. Ugh.

Oh, there are some buildable cars in the collection and a lot of valuable parts, but I'm just not sure it's worth the amount of the current bid, even though the reserve is not met, yet. Just transporting those cars to another state or across state would another 10,000, if not more.
And what lurks underneath previous repairs that we aren't seeing is another question.
Are the birdcages from the fire cars good or was the metal jeopardized? All variables that could have a profound effect on the value of the collection.

Fake bid for sure. Most high line car salesman say ebay is the worst way to sell your car, all pikers. Buyer beware. There are many times I was out bought on something only to be contacted the next day saying the first buyer fell through. I would rather buy 70K worth of toilet paper than that collection and I love Corvettes.
