Must be the new voltage regulator.

feedback are both BS. Look it over carefully. That 32k check will be from the Bank of Nigeria.

The black paint will go good with the winning bidders last auction win . . .

You all must be Obama giddy.

Yeah I'm gonna call BS too, but I hope we are wrong. The car looks very nice, however ebay allows wonky things to take place.

Who knows, perhaps the buyer in last minute bidding haste thought it a real Turbo car and figured he was getting fair market value.

Or just your typical D-bag with a similar car wanting to raise an audience for his car. Watch, there will be 5 black 73's with turbo style flares on ebay tommorrow. The one in San Jose looks very similar for less than 5K, hmmm, might this be related? I dawn't tink so main.

At least he's the seller. Maybe he'll let us know.

[conkitchen]

Agree, I am not indicating the seller here although friendly shilling happens all the time. It seems permitted because it drives up final valuation fees for eBay. It's the Bidders of sort; like stock market traders, manipulate values so they can cash in on the hype. The next guy will think the item at half the price is a steal. They call it the greater fool principle.

Just a conspiracy theory. ;-)

[pbastyr]

It probably helped that it was featured on bringatrailer.com. It generated quite a few comments over there. It's good to see a nice looking car get some decent bidding. I'm sure that he has a lot into it.

More likely, this was a password/identity theft problem.

[KFunk]
