Time will tell, but if the reserve isn't met any bidding is pointless anyways.
I have been watching it. At this point the reserve not being hit tells me this is just fishing and maybe a little market tampering.
The car will probably never hit the reserve and the auction will end. Then he will sell the car for good money because some poor sucker saw it bid up to 16K by friends and family on ebay. Now that sucker thinks its a steal if they can buy it at 14K
Thats what I think, Think I'm wrong?
Im thinking it will go 12k before the end of the day.
Autoxcuda It is interesting how both of these 383-s cudas are posted by brand new members and neither one posted a town or city in there avatar.The one who posted the 18k car has never posted again.Hummmmm

Wow ! What a good place this world would be if everybody was as postive about as you are, thanks for all your support.

I have bought a few lately equally as rare in better condition with better documentation for half of the price than these cars.

Well you see what you do is bid just under even increments like say 7,495, then 7,995. Next comes 8,495 / 8,995 / 9,495 / 9,999.99 and so on...How do you hide behind a bid?
Its pretty hard to know when you bid if the reserve is going to come off, don't you think? GEEZ
Imagine that, the auction ended and didn't meet the reserve.
*YAWN*
I find it hard to believe that the two top bidders would bid $10,995.00 & $10,995.00 and not the $5.00 (or $105.00 more to possibly hit the reserve).
By checking the bid history it is clear the real bidding stopped around $7,400.00. :evil3:
I have bought a few lately equally as rare in better condition with better documentation for half of the price than these cars. I feel I got great deals dont get me wrong, but I think 18k is way too high for the one. I think that this A53 car that was cloned a long long time ago, maybe even at the dealership is not even woth 10k, not without the fender tag and only half a build sheet and the rust issues it has. What saddens me is that these guys dont care about the cars, there just trying to make a buck. Theres guys on this forum that dream about buying cars like this, and could have had they been the fist guy that saw them on craigslist, but they werent. There are only as handful of guys on this forum that can pay these king of prices. I buy my cars to drive and enjoy. Im fortunate to have got some good deals lately on some real rare cars. Remember how much it cost to fix these up, a restoratoin is expensive. I think the 69 Formula S car is a much better car, the documentation is so important when you go to sell it. Please dont get me wrong, there both awsome cars, but the pricing is gotten far out of hand.
You know what id like to see, id like to see the car put back on ebay, set the reserve to a reasonable level, and let someone that actaully wants the car buy it. I assume that he paid no more than 5k for the car, so anyway its looked at, everyone is happy. Hell make at least a few grand, and someone that loves these damn cars might get the car of there dreams.
