Re: Ebay strikes again???? (MNJack)
Similar cars bid up to $80K. . . .
Must be an L88?
It has the L88 hood. . .
Bet it has the SB out of an Olds Delta 88.
Close enough. Must be worth at least $30K. It is red after all.

Re: Ebay strikes again???? (MNJack)
a little shilling going on, perhaps?? MJ
This one smells to high heaven. The current high bidder has exactly zero feedback. This guy's trying to imply that the car's an L88 without actually coming out and saying it. The car's not bad, but very little about it is original. I smell a big hairy rat.

Re: Ebay strikes again???? (hudman)
Well, I would say the car is probably worth around 22k. Possibly a bit more if the original parts are included. Actually, if it is an air car and has the 350/350. It would be well worth 23-25k. You have to consider that just because the bidding reachs 25k. That does not mean the car is actually going to sell for that. I sold my 1985 3 times on ebay. Not once did anyone actually buy it at the end of the auction. There are alot of dreamers out there. I think they grt off on bidding up your car. :lol: :smash:

Re: Ebay strikes again???? (hudman)
I'd say someone is bidding up the car. Without a doubt. If it's the seller, trying to build fake interest, he may have screwed himself, as he'll have to pay the fees.
But 25g's for that car? Not today. No way.

Re: Ebay strikes again???? (sdixon)
I'm not as up on my 69 fine points as I should be, but I was assuming that its a SB with an L88 hood. My guess is that it should be worth around 18-20 K. Anyone want to tell me how far off I am?

Re: Ebay strikes again???? (JB)
I just checked out the bid history on this car. 14 bids and only 2 bidders...
Maybe - the seller created (or had somebody create) a different Ebay Userid to bring the price up.... I can't imagine that somebody would actually pay $25k for a small block convertible......
:cheers:

Re: Ebay strikes again???? (hudman)
Well, it IS the only '69 Convertible out there with EXACTLY 94,942 miles on it, and it does have a set of "Hooster" tires installed, so I'd say it was one-of-a-kind for sure! I mean, how many '69 convertibles with 94,942 miles, Hooster tires and the wrong hood do you see everyday???
I'm going to bid it up!
:D
