Well after a grueling 5 months I can finally call teh project finished!! It is done! I have worked my tail off teh last few months getting it to where I wanted it. Its really amazing that two months ago I thought I was done, then you continually change things and finally get what you want. I am very happy with the outcome of the car, and hate to see it leave but I must sell it to finance my two other 69's I am building.

yeah there bidding!! But you can tell they are not bidding to buy it! The ones that actually want it are the ones that call and inquire about it. I have yet to talk to any of the actual bidders! It should sell but it'll be a sale off of ebay to one of the folks who have called and talk to me hours about the car!

yeah it really is. But usually how it goes! I have tried to sell at least four custom cars and trucks on fleabay. But it always ends up being a off ebay sell to someone who saw it one there but does the deal offline!

I guess the bidders go tell there buddies, "man I am bidding on this badass car on ebay and I am the high bidder" then a few days later when it sells offline or ends they tell there buddy "Oh the A-hole sold it someone else!!"

I always first email and expect an answer by email, that way I have proof of what was told to me. After that, I call with more questions for the seller and then email those same questions so that I have it on record. Just so that both buyer and seller are on the same page. Good luck with the sale, the car looks very nice. :captain:

That is a beautiful car! Is that a custom mixed color? Good luck with the sell. I would have a hard time selling something that beautiful as soon as I built it..lol I guess that is why I could never have a Hot Rod Shop... :rofl:
