Well Guys I can actually provide some further insight here too.....
eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d�r
I was the second highest bidder at $50,111 (with an earlier bid was having internet probs so the snipe was not so reliable) and up until 5 seconds to go had this in the bag at $40501 and was ready to book a flight until "kapow" dis appointment.
To make matters worse my last 30 second snipe to drop another 2 Gs for extra protection did not register in time due to our crap internet here on the central coast...and by the time the browser refreshed auction over and lost.
Having said this there is a fair bit of money that will need to be invested in the power train and suspension and hope the new owner....Congratulations....by the way and well played SIR!.....is aware of this and will spend the cash to bring this fine car back up to spec.
Also thanks very much to
ByronCobra (Greg)
who took the time to check this car out for me and provide me with some really great intel, photos and updates and if you ever down my way or vice versa the offer to catch up for those beers I offered stands!
It does make me wonder how some NSW Vendors are asking in the high sixties for a 1987 4 speed 351 version of the same G force car with twice the Kays when this went for 50K.
Clearly I will not enter negotiations at 15 K over the current market (according to shannons....I costed my comprehensive prior to bidding).....and this explains why they have had no interest within months too I think.
Anyhow, this one was not meant to be and time to resign myself for plan B.
Cheers Adam!
