Yes it is a bit of buyer beware.
The first thing that I thought of, is how this car was built and registered with the carb motor.
Maybe a very old car..
After seeing it at auction and being aware of interest in it or lack of interet, I think it was of case of ...
..'whoa this thing is going really cheap maybe I will grab it and roll it for a big profit'...
I maybe wrong, but it seems that way when it hit Carsales the following days at a profit margin more fitting for a high end prestige car - not a $32,000 auction buy.
Mmmm just my thoughts.
