Being a Scott Widby car, it is definitely a nice car. He has built a few head turners over the years. Is it worth more than $124K? For a 5 year old build, probably not.

Agreed on nice car. Never seen Scott put out any crap in the past. The Hugger orange one he did a couple of years ago was pretty nice. As far as price? Not sure, It would definitely be a contender of sale at the 85-100 range. Heck there asking 500 for the Razor which I think is high. Seems pricing keeps going up and up.

I've been telling anyone that has asked me "what's this "X" worth"... it's only worth what someone else is willing to pay - and right now - I have ZERO idea what ANYTHING is worth.

I look at cars like this more in a "what would it cost me to build a car like that" -- and I couldn't build that car for 125K.... but I wouldn't pay 125K for a 5 year old build either... it's "dated" already. Still - it's probably nicer than any hot rod I own.

$500K for Ring Brothers Camaro.... Ummmmmmmm nope.... 'Cause here's my thinking on that kind of a sale. It will NEVER be "MY" car - it will always be someones else's build... Personally.... I would have to paint it... and for 500K I want it MY WAY!!

But with 66 bids somebody had to be bidding. Like was already said, it is only worth what 2 people are willing to pay. The stance, color, and interior color are pretty popular. I would not say this car is very dated for a 5 year old build. It is typical street rod styled Camaro. The muscle machine winner this year for Goodguys was a very similar Firebird, just not these colors but alot if similar parts.

I stopped at Scott's house 2 years ago on my way home from PRI, I stood in that exact garage in the pictures during our short cut through the backwoods of Georgia enroute to Alabama.

To be honest, I browsed the ad and didn't realize Scott built that car. It's a really nice car and I agree it's not that dated. It definitely fits that baby boomer mentality. Big block, street rod interior, etc. It could easily go 125k at barret jackson. Still a little pessimistic about ebay and big money.

I still think Ebay is good advertising. You just need to put up a high number and say a 30 day listing.

I am a total newb with ebay. In fact I have NEVER bought or sold anything on ebay. I don't understand the private identity and shill bidding or how any of it works. I was under the impression if there was 66 bids then there was 66 real bids. And real people making those bids. Can anyone help me get a clue here?

I do like the car mentioned. Not what I would build for myself, but still a very nice and well done car. I hope they get a decent number out of it somehow.
