I can't believe there's no reserve on this car. The bid hasn't even covered the cost of the engine yet, not to mention the T56 tranny.

Tell me about it! Thats a lot of money and work being given away. I offer to drive this to the buyer anywhere in US if you buy my ticket to Utah.

Folks get apprehensive bidding on cars sight-unseen, even if there's a lot of expensive hardware...It'll be interesting to see what the final price is.

Yep ! don't mean to be a discouraging word, but from my recent Ebay experiences, there are hungry vultures waiting to drop in at the last minute, literally. I hate that.

Is any member close to this car. The guy told me the parts for the engine and the T56 tranny was over $7500. He says he really NEEDS to sell it.

He told me that he knew he was taking a risk with no reserve but he really needed to sell it. "If" there was a reserve, it's been met or it would would say "reserve not met".

I understand . would be a great deal if it goes under 10K going to put in a bid myself. it will most likely be pushed up near the end of the sale
