EBAY will not let you "advertise" a business -- so this is the guys way of insuring he's listed at the top of the 69 Camaro page -- and insuring that you read the description (where his 'hidden' advertisement is) -- because when you see that price - you're sure to read the description to see what you'd be getting...

On one hand it gets your attention - on the other hand - it makes me think the builder is an idiot. That last thought is what would KEEP ME AWAY from a shop like that.

That being said I don't know if they will actually do them any good but maybe it gets them a job or two over the winter. I doubt it sells that car but who's to say? (ok - I'll say it - it won't help sell that car at that price.)

Gotta agree with you there James...it's been done before.

I like the aluminum p/c on the bumpers...

And the video does nothing to make me want the car any more. Total turn off. Howd you like to deal with shifting that in traffic. Not much of a driver huh?

Agreed. It's fairly obvious where the bid came from and what this guy is trying to do. It's a poor decision by the builder. E-Scam-bay already has enough sellers using their buddies to make false bids and jack prices up on cars that usually aren't as described, we certainly don't need more of it.

On a side note, it's interesting to see this other '69 for sale. I had that Super Chevy magazine sitting on my coffee table for quite a while and this particular car was a big source of inspiration for my own build:

It's a nice car and I hope he fetches a decent offer.

Looks like the 400K auction has been removed. Hmmmm....I wonder why.

'cuz by ending the auction early there is no electronic 'paper trail' when they decide to relist it... item was removed, no record of previous autions when someone searches the car or the lister. Obviously not his first goat rodeo...
