Need info: Marti report, VIN, photos, description.
Hate to burst your bubble, but- unless you have a rare, big block type model, $35K is way high for today's market.

I thought the ending ebay bid was very generous. Suggest you put it in classic auto trader see what happens.

Things are slow including sale of cars.

Good luck, Randy

Ebay bid

The ebay bid was $100 away from reserve and it didnt sell when I gave a second chance offer nither bidder responded?? its been weird I dont even get offers I put in K.C. Mo craigslist for $10,000 just to see and nothing?

I did get an offer of straight trade my GT/CS for a 140lb crystal orb
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[JohnnyQuest515]

Probably don't know what a CS is! I get those comments everytime I drive my car.

+1. If the car wasn't put on by a friendly person from here, I would have guessed the bids to be suspicious.

 

[seancarson]

suspicious?

 

[pnsy56shop]

suspicious
There are alot of false bids on e bay some people just bid up to see the reserve price

I am not one to say never, but it sounds like time is not on your side. If you had all the time in the world, you could hold out to get what you want, but unfortunately you are too far upside down on the car.

Don't feel bad. Many people have done the same as you when it comes to restoring these old buggers.

thats ok if I dont get my price I just need it sold . so I can live to build another day...$2000 offer still applies.

Good to hear your positive thinking.

I already know that I will never, ever get back what I have put into my car, but I also know that if I needed some quick cash, it is still better to have my car to sell, then many of the other toys I have treated myself to that are worth $.02 on the dollar.

I'll be following your thread in hopes of a positive outcome.

Your car will be a VERY nice car for the right owner. Good luck on finding it a good home. People here seem to delight in matching up buyers and sellers.

 

[JohnnyQuest515]

Your so right Steve! I found my car right here in the CS.com classifieds after joining the forum.

Only problem is...I keep buy stuff for my car! Good problem though!

This looks like a nice car. Factory tach too. Wish I had the money for a third GT/CS. You know I would.

If you need to sell soon, you may want to lose the 35K. I think the big number may well be scaring prospective buyers. I noticed this with my car which I acquired in July. It was listed at 38.5K and there was little if any interest. I am guessing that if people knew it could have been bought for market price (or a bit under) that there might have been a LOT more interest!
