Honestly the only way i would pay 50k for that car is if one of you gave me the money and told me i was absolutely not allowed to spend it on something else....

Nice looking ride, but before I finally got bored reading the specs, I noticed that they pulled apart the rebuilt engine and were shocked to find no ware on the new parts, and apparently a leek down test was determined to be very successful.

I desided to kwit reeding the speks.

:)

Rebuilds are only as good as the rebuilder...but then, to some, these cars aren't for driving anymore. ;)

Well the OP car is getting some bid activity...up to $52,666. All three bidders have pretty extensive bid histories. I note that one of the bidders is obviously from Germany, but also see he has pretty extensive pattern of bid retractions. Seller has apparently revealed in his other pelican thread his reserve is set at $55K. We shall see.;)

Pretty amazing...Oh well, not my money. Like I said, it's not like people are buying these as drivers. It's more for seeing who can pee highest up the lamp post.

As far as the '73S goes? Guess I can say I've been there-done that...until I got bored with it.

lol, I'll bet if it was a turbo fuel injected delco-remy texaco-havoline ford thunderbird 928 you would!
Have a great time this evening. I'll be in Elizabeth, nj a day late, tomorrow

How about a group buy? ;)

Well, the reserve has been met...wonder how high it will go?

I could see it going into the $60s. Never know someone might really want it.

Ford 928?

LOL...huh?

I'd rather have that Solstice GXP we were arguing about the other day.

i find the ebay add story quite confusing

it's an S for sale, he keeps rambling about how the last R like it was listed for 275K

I'm like, wtf, its' an S , not an R, apples and oranges.. mmmkaaay?

Yeah, he must have a leak in his heatexchangers, causing a brain cloud from CO poisoning...

claims S'es go for 150-200 K if all original
nuts.
Nor is his S original at all... it's not..
7 inch fuchs in the front??

I was making fun of the CRASHCAR billys. When they're interviewed they go through the whole shpeal of there sponsers/car.

It appears this car has sold for greater than $64,000.

Don,
How much did it actually sell for? Indications are for quite a bit more.

It goes to show nothing is more valuable than provenance. This car has a strong heritage that can never be replaced or duplicated. This car is not a replica. It is the real thing. An "R" no but a rally car nonetheless!

Whew! Glad that one's over...probably to be seen @ a historics race or two in the future...

What it shows me is that there are some real fking dumbasses out there that have way, way, way too much money for their own good.

I do not know... I tend to respect individuals that can earn enough money to pursue their passion. Most made it by being very shrewd. There are quite a few very nice cars much like this one that are saved from obscurity by collectors who understand their historic value.

Yep...the rich are different than you or I...they can spend more without guilt.

They can spend senselessly, whereas we cannot.

guilt.... senselessly..... I will agree to disagree.
