Very interesting original car (my preference) that would be nice parked next to the 62.

VIN shows up as sold at a recent Mecum sale in Florida for 40K. See the VIN listed here ! Not sure of the sale date.

Re: Anyone know this car?
As you know, ebay is a game. There are many ways to play it. The seller sure sounds to me like he wants to actually talk to a real buyer. I'd give him a call. My guess is if this car does sell, it will sell off of ebay and between the buyer and seller.
The no reserve route is a good way to get an appraisal, but the auction can be stopped if it looks as if the car will fall short.
If you are truly interested in the car, send him your # and work the deal.

Re: Anyone know this car?
This could be a very expensive purchase. I'm already out of room for cars and have a 1956 Chevy being restored that I have no idea where it will go, so it might also involve a new heated and cooled building. That would require the lift that I've always wanted, etc.
I mentioned to my son that I might be in the market for a C3 and he offered to keep it in his garage for me and drive it occasionally for the cars benefit.
Imagine that!

Re: Anyone know this car?
I'm confused - a No Reserve bid does NOT = equal an "appraisal" that you can "reject" - it is the SALE PRICE of the car.Comment

Re: Anyone know this car?
An accurate appraisal takes many more things than just one sale to establish value. When I do car appraisals I very seldom use eflea sales as comparables, they can be and usually are inaccurate.

Re: Anyone know this car?
That's what you would think. However being on the "winning" end of a number of eBay sales that the seller backed out of due to "insufficient bid", all I can do is shake my head. eBay does little when you complain either. They basically tell you to leave negative feedback. Frustrating to say the least.
I would never do that as a seller, but I think that's the minority opinion unfortunately.Comment

Re: Anyone know this car?
My point was if a seller sees his car ready to fall short of what he really wants for it, he can stop the auction. Reserve or not. If a 100K car gets bid to 60K with 2 minutes to go, the owner will usually pull the plug.
In this case, he has basically gotten a real world appraisal from the market he has placed the car in.
Of course there are many reasons a car can fall short on an online auction. Bad pictures, descriptions, poor timing of auction end, etc.
Dick Whittington said it best. Many things contribute to an accurate appraisal of a collector car. Ebay is just another game in the world of collector cars. Like all things on the internet, some good, some bad. You have to know how to sort it out !

I don't think you can end an auction with less than 12 hours if there are any bids on the item.My point was if a seller sees his car ready to fall short of what he really wants for it, he can stop the auction. Reserve or not. If a 100K car gets bid to 60K with 2 minutes to go, the owner will usually pull the plug.

Re: Anyone know this car?
A lot of these type sellers hide behind the "I have the car for sale locally and can end the auction at any time" comment. This allows them to pull the auction if the car "sells" through other means. I'm not saying I agree with the practice, only that is how many are listed to protect themselves if the bid is too low.My point was if a seller sees his car ready to fall short of what he really wants for it, he can stop the auction.
