If you regularly track completed auctions on ebay, you'll find that many supposedly "sold" cars end up for sale again about two weeks later with the same ad and same photos from the same seller. The bottom line is that high end cars rarely actually sell on ebay.

This is a rare 442, but a low mileage w30 ? Let's recap.. incorrect carb, intake, alternator, waterpump. Numbered distributor not installed. Red wells look abused. Intake and air cleaner are repops.
Stripes are terrible, but they were redone in 73 because the car was keyed ? Seller points out the F heads, and TM rear, but those are for sale all the time on here. Lots of money to make this legit..

Well, that and the fact that it seems like all 150 of the 96 original cars have been up for sale in the last year or so...

Here ya go Joe... that 100K price tag doesn't look too bad compared to this dreamer. **Although this seller is in the same town/area as Volo Auto, so that may explain it.
