I think this Ebay seller is a little optimistic!!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2465361287
After looking at the condition of this car, i would say that they are hoping for alot for someone to open the bidding at $14,000.00 :eek:

I've owned an '81 and loved it, but even if this car was in great shape I think his price is a little optimistic!

A little bit high :confused: after reading the description I think a lot
this is a project car, it needs interior work, some minor body work, and the engine runs smooth.
I won't have that much in my 73 after changing the engine and frame
(including purchase in Canadian $$) :crazy:

OMG that's crazy.....First off how they expect people to bid with only 2 pics that's :skep: however looking at the one pic of the front end you can see little cracks in the bumper. He's outta his mind for thinking he should get that much money. Although on the other side there's a sucker born every second and some poor guy will bid. :cry I hope no one bids and he opens his eyes!!!! :bs

Well if he does get $14,000.00 for it, then I think I will put on there for $25,000.00 :jester

It's rare...only a few cars had RPO76 Oxydized Red. Also, it was the only car produced with C4 wheels and a rear spring that made one side higher than the other.

Anymore, what eBay sellers aren't "a little optimistic." These guys polish turds for a living, and then have the cojones to ask for top dollar.

Right....14,000. Well, according to the add it has ABS (brakes I assume). I wasn't aware of that option in 1981 :lolg:
