    So did you win it???? Sounds a little funny (as in too cheap) the guys description sounds like he knows what he is talking about, it would be very interesting to see it in person. If you bought it let us know.:cool:

    Nope .....I hit the buy it now....it was mine....period.

    Spoke with the guy this morning....sounded genuine....cars been sleeping 20 years....

    Update with 350-350 back twenty years ago....BUT definitely old hot rod bones....

    I am activily searching for an UN CHOPPED RED coupe.....can you believe this.

    I passed.... and the car will become a milner clone.....A car I openly do not dig...

    But I pictured some dude and his kid building a friggn milner clone....and thats his dream.

    Feels good to not to "Kill the dream"...

    This is heavy shit in my mind...

    I didn't think that if you hit" buy it now "that you could back out or had the option to back out.

    Yup


    I'm guessing we will see it back up for sale soon with a much higher price tag.

    Yep....I spoke with guy this morning....

    I hit buy it now for 12,5000 last nite....as he was on the phone with a guy giving a description....

    Car was mine.....

    He called this morning "said I want to do the right thing"...

    I got a great description....connected with the guy....had a good conversation.

    Didnt need another chopped 5w....trying to get rid of one....

    Wasnt right.....even though it was....

    I could have stopped a milner clone....and got a red survivor 32 5w....but I chose to let someone have there dream....

    I cant really word this rite....

    Im going to watch grease II now and get happy....

    Whitey never fucks up. This dude comes up on shit every day so he can pick and choose the gems. It's a curse I wish I had!!!!

    Whitey, I have a unchopped coupe and a link on a guy that makes 5w quarters from the Brookville stuff. I am always willing to swap coupes if that's what you'd like.

    If you let an all steel '32 coupe go for $12500.00 you, my HAMB freind are out of your mind. I would guess the owner took the first offer way over the buy it now. One instance a dead beat bidder should be thanked I guess.

    Sorry if this sounds harsh, but you are asking how much for your roller, and you backed out on this? I'm confused. You could have sold your project for the price of this one and just tickled the shit out of someone looking for a '32 5 window. And still had a 32 coupe. I'm with fire338 "

    Even in this F&%$#! up economy that car looks to be worth 3 times ( if not 4) what it sold for.

    Well, I'll put it this way I guess... If I was him, I woulda fucked up by not buying that car! HAhaha! :D:D


    Hard to say without knowing the details, but definitely a screaming deal any way you cut it.

    Man, that really sucks that it's gonna be a Milner clone though... :(

    I think what whitey means to say is that he hit the buy it now button but the seller was already on the line talking to somebody else about buying the car. It's typical for an ebay car to have the condition of 'subject to prior sale', meaning that the guy also has it up locally and that's what happened here. (there are other possibilities, too numerous to mention, but that's my take)
