Is this $7,800 starting price serious and will it make the $10,000 reserve?

Ouch. Double-ouch. Suit panel-beater-come-miracle-worker perhaps...

Note the background in the two pics, in particular the fusebox on the wall. Bought by car yard to turn a profit, but they've realised its too much work (or they got it dirt cheap and are trying to profit by flipping it as-is). Same mob that have been trying to flog a dodgy looking Fairlady roadster over the last month or two.

Nothing wrong with that I guess, although they are trying to sell it via a private ebay account rather than their business one, and are making out it was bought as a private project.

Apologies if I sound like Gav on the tail of Edward Lee......

No no, good work. I agree. Dodgy as..

[1600dave]

And then there's "Engine is in it, box should be too (As far as I know)"..

Really ?? You;re trying to sell a complete wreck for $7800, how hard is it to stick your head under the car to see if it has a gearbox or not ??

Just need 90K with Lurch and Uncle Les and she'll be great.

RESERVE NOW REMOVED!

But starting price is $7,000+

[Cozza]

I’m sure these sellers have a motive but, I don’t understand it. 

[C.A.R.]

Has popped up on FB for $6500.
I pity the poor bastard that buys it - I'd estimate 30K in rust repairs to put it right.

And how much original metal would be left after it's been stripped? Not much. Tell me that surely to god it's a parts car, nothing more.

In the ad: "Blue tape holding panels down during transport..."   Really?

[gav240z]

$30k would be getting off lightly I'd imagine.
