Joel, When I had the car built in 1998, it cost me $2018.

Ok, i give up. I would be perhaps not wise to go further with the shipment costs extra and Jim to have build that crate with chips....

Than i have a reserve in my wallet for tomorrows classic car fair at Antwerp !

maybe a Ferrari GTO 250 ????  yeahyeah,

dycast.....

By the way , wasn't THAT ferrari who inspired our C3's chroom bumpers ???  OEPS...

Do i feel some tension in the air ? yepyep, less than a hour to go.... i see now they announce it in min's and sec's..... like the 1/4 mile ! yipi !!!

I think you made a wise decision Barry. I know you wanted the car for your grand daughter but sometimes it's better to think with your head instead of your heart. I still love ya Berry.

Thanx Jim. She's only nearly 11 months so she's not aware of the bidding. By the way , she's walking and crowling over here on the office floor making a mess of my shelfs .... i'll have something to clean up.... My daughter in law is getting a pack of french fries for us all so he can follow the bidding... hoping for you it's in the 3's ... see3.. C3 ! good luck !

IT'S OVER GUYS. The bid ended at $2800. I'm pleased with that. It just proves that ANY corvette is a good investment. It amazes me that over 4400 people viewed the car and especially that I had a bidder from Belgium

Barry, Since the car was a C2, guess that's why it didn't make the 3's

CONGRATULATIONS Jim. Only pitty that it didn't kept 2 enthusiasts in the end.... strange nobody came back of the previous bidders.If i where a US within 500 miles it was mine ! A moment i tought to go 2850 but yeah.... not wise as whe agreed. I'm not used to ebay , first experience , but i think you better choosen a ending hour in the evening , not on a working day in the afternoon ? no ?  better for me ofcoarse as i was sitting here all night....

see you ! back to C3's.....

 

That is just amazing cool.  See what I miss when I'm working my butt off?   That's okay, I can't afford it anyway.  Besides, Megan would never fit inside of it anyway.  She wants mine when it's done.

Good deal, Jim!

                                             

The car is going to Carl Beal in Charleston, SC. He bought it for his 12 year old grandson to take to car shows. He still hasn't picked it up but called me last night. I guess the main thing is that he paid for it as soon as the auction was over.

 His grandson won't be able to but I can promise it will get attention at the shows.
