Re: Houston, we have a problem

Shouldn't that be "One Small Step"? Armstrong wasn't on Apollo 13... Just messin' with ya.

I've never quite understood the increased interest in a car, or whatever, soley because so-and-so owned it once. Now if it has some unique configuration, or was used in some famous event, that would be different. To each his own I guess.

There is a certain sales technique involved.......trolling?

More like one small step for man, one giant leap of faith and chunk of cash from the bank account

You got that right!

Re: Houston, we have a problem

Seller says he has been trying to buy the car for 30 years. If that is the case, what is motivating him to sell (unless for a quick buck).

Re: Houston, we have a problem

I seriously question how many of those bids are legit. I have a feeling there are quite a few shill bids

Re: Houston, we have a problem

"Restored Survivor Classification"...... interesting when will we see that at Barrett Jackson, how much added value, sky is the limit I guess.

I cannot see it selling for much more that the ebay bid, and that is after a $150k restoration.
