How did you find that out?

This thing is up to 42,000 and the reserve still isn't met. I think you all may be right about the reserve is set so high that it won't sell on e-bay.

Re: Found in barn L88 on EBAY (Captain Morgan)
 

Probably by contacting the seller! :) Remember, that can be done.. :lol:

That seals it for me! No M-22, no powerbrake booster, antenna on rear deck but radio delete plate conveniently still there, if I put an L88 hood on my car it would be closer to an L88 than this car!! I will put it on ebay and you guys can bid it up to $100k... reserve not met... Anybody want to try? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Re: Found in barn L88 on EBAY (Robert N)
 

Robert, did the seller mention if there was any documentation? I will say this, the fact that it does not have the original trans definetly does not help prove its case that it is an authentic L88. If I were a betting man I would say that the reserve is between 50/60K

Has the mileage been determined ?

Re: Found in barn L88 on EBAY (kaiserbud)
 

Everybody better bid quick because there is only 20 minutes left.

Where is my checkbook..........nah.

I have had a number of email and phone conbersations with the seller. He seems sincere and has pointed out several of the items we found. The reason for the antenna, an aftermarket radio was installed.

The lack of the original tranny doesn't prevent this from being an L88, but the fact that an M22 Muncie was removed and not rebuilt is a serious concern.

Re: Found in barn L88 on EBAY (SBR)
 

I also noticed the missing power brake booster, along with wrong carb/fuel line, the antenna on rear (L88 were radio delete cars), very suspect to me... :confused:

Re: Found in barn L88 on EBAY (Bob Jenkins)
 

One thing I guess I never mentioned is that indeed this could be an original car - just certain obvious items derserved questioning.

Maybe an owner along the way did not appreciate/know what he had. :cry

Either way, we (CF) noted certain items, and whether able to be substantiated or not, this might very well turn out to be a true L-88 car. :flag

Either way due diligence is always required. :yesnod:
