Is this guy out of his cotton pickin' mind? $2.3 million for a 442?

you have to read this auction...

Only one picture from 50 ft.
He talks about how he doesn't need the money, but wouldn't list it on a regular day and waits for eBay to have a $1 listing fee sale
So poorly written, no grammar or punctuation and blames it on his computer.

He says if you put $25k into it you can sell it for $5 million...
Ive never seen any GM metal bring millions like this... even 1 of 1 cars don't bring that kind of coin.

And to top it off... all proceeds will be 'donated' to his business... for of all things... to make vitamins.

Am I being too harsh?

 

My friend told me about that car. He has no cotton pickin mind! Have my doubts on cars originality. Red Hurst?

 

he has a great imagination. He should look into a job as a sitcom writers assistant. :Comp: That said, I had someone email me a couple weeks ago with an offer to send me 7.8 million english pounds for a measly $5,500.00 US. So right after I get the check in the mail for the 7.8 million I'll buy the olds. Easy come, easy go! :TU:

 

How about this. he can give me the car. I will do a $25,000 resto, take it to B-J. I get the first 2.5 million and he can have the rest. What a moron!:blast:

 

I like the Jasmine Yellow GTO with the attached jailbait.

 

You think that's rare? I've got the Super Wildcat that Buick execs donated to George Washington to drive to battle in Trenton after crossing the Delaware River!!! This car has a really good heater. It also has "GW" initials in many places ('cept they put the "W" upside down for some reason)! :grin:

I'm gonna list it on Presidents Day - that makes sense doesn't it? I may be able to ask more :dollar: than this guy's asking for his rare 442 though, since the punctuation on my PC wasn't broken by my airline ou: and my listing will look better than his.

Oh, and there's a corner of discolored paper sticking out from between the seat cushions. I think it's the only copy of the Declaration of Independence that the Buick execs signed. :eek2:

BTW - my camera is broken :ball: so I can't provide any pictures until after the auction closes

I need y'all's help though as I'm not really sure what this deal is worth. $3 million? 4 million? Any suggestions?

BTW - I've kept this valuable vehicle garaged since I bought it from George, but I see that this guy keeps his ultra valuable 442 in an outside lot. Am I doing something wrong? ou:

 

unbelievable. Punctuation worked some of the time. looooooser.

 

If it is sooooo rare. I think he would be proud to show the vin? Or I just missed it in his increadable write up.

 

The smoke in her hand makes her real classy too!!

 

Should have scoops under bumper if ram-air.

 

Probably took too many of his own "vitamins":Brow:

 

I think you all should make offers.. p p

Get it up over 100.

I think I'll offer him $27.50 :Brow:

 

I di not think 455s were put in those cars until '70? Or maybe that is why he's saying it is so rare?

I think he's got rocks in his head.

 

I TOOK A CHANCE AND MADE AN OFFER. I WILL HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE IF I GET IT FOR $67.50:beer

 

I offered $75. So, i'll probably get it.

 

"if your serious grab your balls your wallet and phone and ring me up "

I would need three hands to do that.

Did you see the '73 Toronado he has for sale?
"What a Collector told me these were Built in the Hurst Factory right alongside and where its little sister the Hurst 442"

Too funny.

 

Yeah, I saw this the other day, it makes for some good fiction. :eek2: I think i will hit the BIN...I wonder what the seller fees will be....p He also only wants a $500.00 deposit on the 2.3 million.....

 

I am thinking of raising my offer to $81.16 if he will throw in the 100 cans of pimp juice he has listed. ray:

 

OMG... I love this line..

I have 126 of these Trans Am's and Firebirds from 1968 to Present. I know a special car when I see it, and a good project when I see, and this Skybird is definatly one of them.


I have bought better birds than this crap he has listed for a 10th of the price.. I am really thinking about ordering some of his viatmins...they must be really good!
