If you have a bonafide, bullet-proof documented, unrestored original '70 W-30 Conv. 4-speed, then I would say YES, your car IS worth that much. $200k won't buy this car-----this is likely a 1of 1 now and well known with the "W" guys.

Lol, yeah, that's not what I have. Good, I didn't want to sell mine anyway.

9:03 PM, still at $325k. Looks like it ends sometime in the early hours of Monday. This should be interesting.

Someone has deep pockets.
Point of disclaimer: on eBay anything can sell, different story at times on the buyer paying up. That's a crapload of $$$ for an unrestored car. Want to bet it hits the BJ circuit next?

Ah, yes but now there will be eBay's selling fee tacked onto that. How much is it for that kind of $$$ anyway?

Oops, my bad. I have no idea of the fees. At least they didn't accept PayPal.

Wanna bet it never sold? They're trying to get publicity for when they put it through Barrett-Jackson.

Look at the bidding history. The same bidder upped his own bid 4 times to get it from $200K to $341K. Then a guy comes in and grabs it for $100 more.

Shill bidding. The car never sold.

In this market, it will probably sell for about $200K.
