69 Camaro on ebay.....

[Jay Hilliard]

"468 cubic inch BIG BLOCK STROKER built by HAYDOCK RACING estimated 600+hp/600+torq (XTRA THICK 396 BLOCK BORED AND STROKED TO 468".

Very nice car..no doubt. But what gives? For 142K, I want real dyno numbers, not estimated. Never heard of an xtra thick 396 block.

I agree.

If this car is worth that kind of money... how come Charley's white car sat stale at 100k on ebay...

Like others said, don't always believe bids you see on Ebay, especially if the reserve hasn't been met yet. Unfortunately, for high-dollar items, a number of people use their buddies to bid the item up to a point right below the reserve, so the next person to come in(all excited by seeing the bids and interest in the car) and make his own bid will hit the reserve causing that bidder to be contractually bound to pay. Or, the seller does 2 auctions, the first auction is used to hype the car with some very high false bidding and then the 2nd auction is where they truly try to sell the car at a much lower reserve. "Wow, people were willing to pay $148K for this car 2 weeks ago, it's a steal now at $90K." They can also use these false auctions to convince someone to buy it from them outside of Ebay. "Hey man, you see what's it's being bid up to on Ebay don't you?"

It's a definitely a nice car though. I hope the seller fetches a reasonable price for it and the buyer is happy with it.

I was thinking the same thing, but Camaro X didn't have a DSE sub frame in it but thats not worth 45,000.00 more. And 10,000 hours NO WAY unless this was their first build and they are accounting for all the learning and mistakes that where made . There isn't anything really custom as far as body mod's??? Not bashing the car as from the pictures it looks nicely done and has some very good parts that's for sure. Not a big fan of the audio stuff I like to listen my engine. He needs to redo that listing with LOTS of picture's of everything including build pictures, and then he would get some real bids. But I'm sure that is just for advertising for their shop

Seems like some shilling going on for sure.

That interior just is not doing it for me at all

I do like the exterior look, wheels and stance

[Vegas69]

Clearly a bogus auction on a decent car.

If I had 10,000 hours in that car I would not not tell a single soul.

Definitely a nice car and parts list, but....exhaust just doesn't fit the style of the build, plus it just doesn't look very well executed. Maybe it just needs to be painted black, kinda looks like a sore thumb as it is now.

I'm with Ryan on the interior, there's some very nice pieces and significant work but the overall look is just not very good.

10,000 hours for a bolt together car is quite scary.

No..... If YOU had 10,000 hours in that car - it would be really, really, Kool.... and 142K would be an opening bid.

But.... having said that... you didn't, and it ain't.

Maybe it was 1000 hours but they had to re-do it ten times.. lol

10,000 hours is ONE MILLIONS DOLLARS at $100 and hour..

So what they are saying is that there's a Million Bucks in that car.. or more money and fab time than the Roadster Shop Corvette? lol

Sweet car, but I hate when people overstate stuff.
