Bidding started out at $0.01, now up to $11,100 and the reserve is not met. Some people have way too much money!

Those things are worth a lot more, especially if it's as complete as this one. It may look like a lot of money but what if it's the final pice to a high $ restoration? The fact that the car has the right parts will raise the price more than the sole investment in this apparently expensive item. Also, it's brand spanking new...I wouldn't be surprised if it's about the only NOS one left, 2nd hand ones go for insane money.

The old "If only I had known". 10 years ago I had a line on a complete setup, used but in excellent shape. It was 2500 dollars. I thought that was insane back then. I could have made a tidy profit if I had bought it. Oh well another lost investment oppertunity.

It would look pretty good under the hood of my Z/28.

But I would have to sell the car to pay for it.

I predict $20,000 or a little more.
