Other than the Fiat...I didn't recognise any of the cars...it wasn't the normal group. Don't get me wrong..that was a good thing. You get tired of seeing the same cars all the time, even if they ARE spewing Nitro fumes....!
Other than a car from Australia, don't recall where the rest of the cars were from.

Well here is another Ebay offering. Looks pretty in the pics. Not so sure about the interior/exterior colors. Some one down Flo Dah way?

Very nice.
Come-on...what's not to like about red, white and brown with maroon outside...?

As nice as it is...it "isn't" quite as original as the seller claims.
One big thing...the pump to carburetor fuel line. The factory didn't use hand bent copper..!

Wish I had some expendable money...well maybe not, it'd end up some kinda hot rod..

Heres one a bunch thriftier and with 500 hours and a pile of loot it could look like the $30K guy.

That float your boat Mike? Its only 500 to 600 hours. Sounds quick when you say it!

Mike...OOPS! Damned if you did not beat me to it. The brake aint the only piece of wonderment here. Think the 500 hours is just a bit lite?

[Half Fast One]

So lets take a closer look. You need to replace or repair every body panel on the vehicle. You might save the hood and the rear window surround. The roof ? I think you may want to put something else on it since that project would drive a Bodyman to drink. Lets just guess about the floor, Ha!!! Right now I think the starting price is actually higher then what it's worth, especially if you factor in the cost to get it home.
It will take a brave soul to return this one to a condition worth driving.
Just my two cents worth. Wish the seller luck and want to talk with the buyer, if you know what I mean. Ha!!!

Roger...You are so rite about the work level required here! Got up to a whopping $1200 and did not meet reserve. Go figure! Here is a better looking Texas offering.
