Well, I don't know about the first three words in the description ... "Stock and original" but there are 22 bids on it so there must be a few people that must think it is worth it.

Sometimes it's hard to tell but the current bidder (4***6) looks a little suspect since he's $100 short of the reserve, has one feedback and also has one bid retraction in the last six months. Hmmmmm?

There is a 69&1/2 Road Runner in the Moparts classifieds, comes with warranty block assembly, trans, and Dana, but no fender tag or broadcast sheet for $16,000.

Fender tag worth paying $20,000 more?

That car on ebay has the taxi-cab interior, notice the plain seats, and no rear arm rests.

I know a lot about that "A-12 with no rear arm rest thing" since that's what mine is. I'd have to say it is overpriced because of the rust, and the fact that it's an automatic.

That car on Moparts is a Bee (if I remember correctly) and is very rusty.

My mistake. The rusty Bee was something else......NOT an A-12

1. The reason it says that the reserve hasn't been met but the next bid does meet reserve is the seller lowered the reserve on top of that last bid.
2. The only thing keeping it from going higher is the fact that you can't inspect the car otherwise it would be higher.
3. Having the fender tag is worth a bunch on any type of six pack or hemi car. Or the sheet for that matter.

My car is in better shape than that one is, and I can tell you either that car is overvalued, or mine is undervalued

Yeah, but does your car have hemi rods added for lighweight?

I'd guess a little of both. Too many parts on the orange car look newer than the 20 years it's supposedly been sitting.

guy who is selling the car is a flipper who has not even bought the car yet IMHO he is fishing for a price then if it sells buys the car for 10k and rapes you !

I agree with this assumption! I would go look at it as it's in my back yard, but he's not letting anyone? I think because in order to see the car you have to meet with the owners and he is correctly assuming that you will cut him out of the deal!!

:Groaner:Everyone thinks they have a "GOLD MIND" siting in the yard.:gah:Thanks to Barrett Jackson. Granted the car is worth Big $$$$ because of the tag, but really it's not in very good shape, plus he won't let anyone who might spend $36k look at it???? WTF Red Flag for me !!!!

Just my 2 cents for what ever thats worth

May just bite him in the butt as things rarely come close to the high bid the second time through. I'd be surprised to see it hit 25k this time.

Crack must be REALLY cheap in Royal Oaks, MI, basket case rust bucket. You would be building from the fender tag up. $40G's, I don't think so, it will take over $100G's to bring this back, unless you can do EVERYTHING yourself. My opinion totally.:soapbox:

Only 12k now. He should'a taken the money when he had the chance.

There's something very dirty about this transaction and it all points towards the seller. Look in the questions section. Someone asked what he realistically wanted for the car and he replied around $30K. Someone then asked why he relisted it and he replied that it didn't meet the reserve when the high bid was $36K +. This guy's a d-bag.

if he wanted 30K and had bidders at that price, he could have done a deal with one of them.......but i doubt he had any actual bidders at 30K
