"No Reserve, Have fun bidding !"
"Starts at US $60,199.99 "

uh, what am I missing here ? No reserve, but there is a "starts at" price of $60,199.99 ?? And 0 bids?

Me thinks he's got one too many "9"'s in that price !!

So the owner is a moron and the seller even more so. How can they advertise a car as being rare and their only response is "the owner thinks it is".

Ebay - where America shops for RARE Corvettes.

Maybe we should flood em with Questions until they get tired of answering. That'll teach em to post crap like that. I know people should do a little research before they buy something but I sure hope some poor fella don't fall into that trap. It sure would be learning the hard way.

I questions the integrity of the company selling this turd. I would never place that for sale if I owned a company that did consigned sales.
