Gee, Steve,

For $44K, you would think he would have had the clock fixed.
David Werblow

He's been trying to sell that thing for at least two years and the price never changes.

Whoever said "persistence pays off" never met this guy!

From the text:
"OWNER EXPECTS IT TO APPRAISE FOR
$58,900.00-$69,900.00 IN 2014"

So ... why not have it appraised and back it up?

Steve ,
Thanks for telling us "what" it was this time!
I won't look...so I won't retaliate with that Green & Red Opel GT abomination this tyme! LOL

BTW: I "expected" my 92 Dakota to be appraised @ $15k...but was offered less than what I spent on new brake lines, rotors, pads & tires...so I kept it!
David Sheward "IZZY" TF 7427

I know a fellow who had his odometer turned back from 200,000 KMs to 50,000 KMs to increase it's trade-in value. When it had been done he decided to keep the car because it had such low mileage. :-)
JR Ross

He has a good copywriter. Some fiction involved, but based on a true story. If we all thought that we could get that Barrett-Jackson price, would we have sold long ago? Yes... for that money I would fix the clock!
C.R. Tyrell

I wonder what he has in the garage? Can anyone identify the car?
Michael O'Brien

Michael, the car in the background appears to be a Benz 190SL, vintage 1955 - 1963 - a lovely if rather slow grand touring car in the finest MB tradition.

Dave.

I sent him a message on eBay asking what factory approved the tires. His response was just a tiny bit rude :-).
Jack Long

My 51 TD ALSO has a correct English wooden fuel measuring stick! And five new Factory Approved Tires installed by Discount Tires!
I'm adding $30k to the value of my MG right away!
Geoffrey M Baker

Maybe if he got rid of that awful center justification so a human could read it he might have more luck!! People read from left to right where I come from!
efh Haskell

Is this the TD he was talking about at Barrett? That consigner is near my home. That seems like crazy money for a TD.

Alex,

Thanks for that link. In a way, it's too bad because for that kind of money, no-body is going to drive it
David Werblow

The U Tube one went about double what the car was worth. Oh well my 51just went up in value ha ha
Tom Maine

Alex, the ebay seller claims the B-J sale was at $ 71,500. The link is to one that sold for $ 65,000 - still a stout sum.
The car in question is ... well, questionable!

Guess I'll keep my wood dash and maybe chrome my grill slats that currently are black and match my interior.

The $71,500 probably includes the buyers premium. (I guess I've been watching too much Carini.)
Cheers

Bobby,

I'm with Peter. my hunch is that the premium is included in the eBay sellers price quote.

"Even complete with wood British fuel measuring stick"

It is of course a well known fact that British wood is the very best when it comes to measuring sticks......everyone knows they are more accurate.

Luckily, I myself have a genuine measuring wood tree in my garden and can supply you with an original measuring wood stick for the bargain price of £2,000 (plus £300 postage)

It comes complete with a factory certificate and is personally signed by the Queen.

Grab yourself a bargain. These things don't grow on trees you know..

For those of you who are good with your hands I can also supply a genuine wood measuring stick in kit form. These are at the incredible knock down price of £1000. They look very similar to a long twig, but don't be fooled they are the real thing. They only need minor shaping to finish the job.
Ray Coyte

BJ has a buyer and seller premium added to the auction price.
