Can't leave well enough alone!
I think he is definately playing into it being the famous "Scottys Chops" coupe and all the prominance it carries. Awful expensive though.

Fascinated by rolling objects!
So if he sells it at that price he can build 5 more.

Never met a beer he didn't like!
Legend in my own mind
Yes, and I'm a legend in my own mind too! Doubt it will get anywhere close to that "Buy It Now" price.

Hey, the good side is , if he does get his price, it sets the bar for Rat value. Rat Rods are an Art form.. and Artist's should be duly compensated for your efforts.

There must be more to the car than I am seeing. I don't care if the Pope owned it, that is way out of line. I'm amazed it jumped to $ 10K already, but I bet it won't hit the BIN price, but I have seen some crazy stuff on Ebay.
The car could be duplicated for half that amount, and celebrity only goes so far.

Never heard of it and reserves suck wind. Start the bidding with your reserve or get off the porch.

I'm a little surprised it has gone that high, but with Ebay you never know. I have gotten way more than I ever expected for items I have sold there, and at times have paid way more than I thought I would pay. People get caught up in the bidding and not wanting to have someone beat them out, I think.
It will be interesting to see where it ends up.

Don,
As you know, getting a bid and getting the money can be two separate issues. I've also seen people have their friends run the bidding up with bogus bids and all kinds of other stuff. More power to him if he sells it at that price!

He's just one of them Rusty-Chainers!
I must be living under a rock. Didn't have a clue what the world famous car was, not like its The California Kid or Milner's Coupe. A steal at $29,600 I mean the seller did the stealing.

One of the Dirty Dozen!
That's more than I thought it would bring. I'm not bagging on the car, that's just more than I thought it would sell for.

Older and more rusted every day!
Sucker!
Yep... a sucker is born *every* minute!!! What's funny is... I've never even heard of that "famous" car!

Those last pictures in the ebay listing were taken at the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, CA. Used to be owned by Sarah Winchester, wife/widow of the owner of the Winchester Firearms Co. Very interesting story behind that house!

Yeah, I'm not beating up on the car either, but it just sold for way more than I would have ever imagined. Evidently, someone was motivated by the magazine coverage and somewhat celebrity of the car. I think there are better buys out there for that kind of money, but in the final analysis only the buyer and seller count in that transaction. Maybe that is why so many people sell their cars right after they are featured in some magazine?
I know of a local bobber truck that sold on Ebay for $ 17K and change. I saw it at a local show and it had some.......................how do I say this nicely..........."questionable" construction techniques. There was almost no clearance between the radius rod and drag link, the suspension was not the best, and in general it was just not put together well. Yet it sold for $ 17K+. I wouldn't have paid $ 5K for it personally.
