Anyone think this is worth $100K?

holy butt nugget batman! geez. and people are bidding on it! i mean i know he has alot of work done to it! see this is why you cant get a decents old car anymore. from these rich people jacking up prices b/c they can afford it. and then they effectivly price the other cars out of normal peoples price range. its like in hotrod mag or one of them. they had a camaro vert from the 60's. was the only one every produced. he tried to autcion it off. got 1.3 million and turned it down!

I don't believe that I just saw a bid for $130,000! Somebody is on crack, like the guy who supposedly offered $1.3 mil for a Camaro--and got turned down.

Except for the extremely rare models, even vintage V-12 Ferraris don't go for that these days.

That is one ugly car. I think the hood/wheels really killed the whole look of the car. I am sure it would fit in great at the nopi nats. More power to whoever has the money to blow on that car. That is just my 02

The paint looks more 2-D than 3-D. I mean it looks more like oil on pavement than something that changes as you walk around it.

Not even if it was the S351 with all carbon fiber/chrome that I saw at Marietta Ford back in the day.

"It hurts me eyes!"

Just a little TOO Much on the mods :nono: , but it looks like there is a buyer for just about any car out there.

The thing that I find VERY odd, is that there was another extreme rainbow car with <5K miles and that car struggled to get above $30K. I think it finally went for somewhere around $34K. So, based on that, why is this car so much more special? Something just doesn't make sense.

His starting price was $100k, right? This probably caused people to think it was actually worth that much money, and therefore it will be a collector's car and is a good investment. Meanwhile, this guy is laughing all the way to the bank.

It is a very nice car, but for that kind of $$$, I would definitely buy some land and start me a church and a motocross track. We would preach the word, then race a little.

About the car, the paint isn't what you would call AWESOME! but it's alright... the Eurotechs killed it for me. The rims are great except for the paint with 'em. NEVER paint rims unless they're Bullitts and only come in blacks and greys.

Interesting that the auction was private--are the bids real or placed by the owner's "friends?"

Don't know much about Ebay car auctions--is the private feature often used?
