Wow, may have seen this before, I am drooling!

 

Nice,next to 66,71 is my favorite.

 

No kidding. This has to be the best survivor out there. Original tires. . . . that is amazing.

I say it hits $100,000

 

Says original paint -
What's up with the missing trunk stripe?

 

I am thinking the seller has B J figures in his mind with the reserve but can easily see the 100 G mark being hit.

 

Nice.

 

needs a power steering brace

 

I'm going to guess the stripe is there but is very subtle.

 

The trunk stripe is mia, also it looks to have a blend on the left side of the trunk lock. Steering brkt won't fit with headers. No heater hoses. Nice but not 100k worth of my cash.

 

That blue on blue is really slight looking. awesome ride

 

For what it's worth, a 1970 W-30 which was even more original and less molested, with 39k miles, sold for $78k back in 2004.

I'd be surprised to see this 1971 sell for more.

 

Market is much differant now than it was then. Survivor cars are much hotter today than they were then.

 

love the subtle stripe treatment. I know buckets and console are probably more desirable, but there is just something cool about a bench seat with a big four speed handle sticking up from the floor!

 

I've never seen a blue stripes on blue before. Sure is unique if subtle. Beautiful condition for a survivor...

 

Of the '64-'72 era, '71 is my least favorite, but, I'd love to have this one!

 

amazing find on a cool car.

 

Certainly not $100k of my money either.

 

Hmm that's odd I would have no problem using 100k of your money to purchase it!!

 

Love the car & would love to own it. Certainly a $50K plus car. $100K not so.

 

100K...not very likely. It is a nice survivor though.

 

65 Thou with days to go, who knows if any bids are legit....

 

Certainly not at this point with a zero feedback bidder in the lead

 

I would love to have this car. this thing could see 100,000

 

100,000 miles maybe....granted I dont know much about a 71

 

If all the paint is indeed original I see this car doing at least 100k. I've been talking with someome I know for awhile about this car and he will be a player on it even now that its at 75,500. All 5 original uniroyals are rare to see.

 

Reserve has been met, interesting.

 

Well it appears the auction was ended by the seller. So either he was "fishing" for value or a deal was made outside of Ebay. That car is awesome!

 

a local guy down there made a deal according to the owner.

 

Is that the original style brake master cylinder? Just curious. And if it isn't, would it have been replaced within 10k miles?

 

Looks correct for the 71/72 non power brake applications.

Very cool, 100k or not. But I'm curious, if anyone here bought this car, would you drive it?

 

I would drive it, on early Sunday mornings, in nice weather, for about 15 miles at a time, maybe 20 times a year.

 

Oldsmaniac, now that the auction has ended the price returned to $1000 and the page shows no bid history.

What was the reserve?

 

I am thinking the reserve was around 75,000.00

 

What a great W30. Congrats on the sale.
