They're probably on this over on the S registry. Let these guys have it...for fools and their money are quickly parted.

Just because they're on our ignore lists doesn't mean they don't exist...

Yeah...it's tough to kill those car guy urges of old tho. I was fat, dumb and happy with the Bullitt Mustang just as it sits. Then I started visiting the Bullitt board...now terrible thoughts are creeping into my head. Wider wheels & tires, superchargers, bigger brakes, stiffer suspension, etc.

And for what? So I can get to the pool hall faster???

(edit) Looked at some of the S registry board link you provided. Once it became clear that the seller of this car is just out to make a quick buck, I quit reading. Capitalism is great...I wish him well, but he's not getting any of my money.

HOOT! Truth in that one. There is a semi serious discussion going on in the pool posting boards. That guys over 50 should be allowed more breaks during a match.

The deck was a spare...offered on ebay at $5K opening bid (reserve not met).

The exhaust trumpets also spare, offered at $1K opening bid (Yup....reserve not met).

Why sell now? LOL! He probably looked into the cost of restoring this decrepit piece...

Yep...but the flippers figure all it takes is one fool...you'll note, 0 bidders on that 1973 S. Evren's car has less than half the mileage...is original paint, etc. I could have sold for easily twice what I sold to him for...but then, I got the promise that it would never leave Turkish soil...that was worth a lot to me.

P.T. Barnum was right...
