That is what i think its worth... But did your car have no glass, a locked up motor, no steerign or brakes???
 
I can't believe anyone would have bought that car, except a Car Thief, or a Chop-Shop. All you guys with '68 fastbacks might want to get ahold of those VIN numbers. They may come in handy soon! Someone earlier stated the obvious, when they said.......... "All that's there, are some VIN tags, and a title!".

Sorry, I just love a good conspiracy theory.

The plot thickens.... Check out the stats of the person who bought it...... a member since 12-20-07, lives in Austria, with 0 feedback? Hmmmmm whats the going rate to ship that car to Austria? Hmmmmm It would be a lot cheaper just to mail the Title, and Tags..... Or I guess a crook could use them for documentation for the car he has in a container! Or maybe the owner of that POS just got duped. Hmmmmmmmm
 
I currently own two project 67-68 fastbacks and think you guys are a underestimating the car by a little in my opinion. I agree that it is really rough and is nothing more than a shell. It may only be good for a roof transplant.

Right now, fastbacks are in such high demand that people are willing to pay crazy money for them (as we saw). Check out this roof that just sold for $800.

On this roof, most of the fastback specific structure is missing, it has no VIN tags and no title and it still sold for $800.

If the red ebay car was listed for $1250, it would be snapped up within hours. It's 500 miles from me and I would think about it. :p I think it would bring closer to $2K since it has a VIN tag and title.

Lets not forget 4500 dollars is like 3100 euros, also maybe just the tags will make the trip.
I have a buddy here in town with lots of Italian cars. He listed a 1971-ish Alfa GTV coupe that was about as rusty as this fastback with an opening bid of $999 just to recover his investment. It ended up selling for around $7K to someone in Europe. The winning bidder did pay for it and actually shipped the car. Needless to say, he was shocked.

This Mustang may actually get shipped.

I think that $4500 is more than 3100 euros....

Also i dont think that you could even jack that car up right now..... Theres no solid spot....
HAHA :)
 
IF it really is an HONEST sale, and IF they really do ship THAT car. How many euros does it cost to ship a seized motor, and 450 lbs. of rust?

I suppose you could put the motor on a pallet, and sweep the rest into a box?

yeah no joke!!
 
I doubt the last two bids were legitimate.....
 
Nothing will surpise me after my 12 year old found this and bought it for $300 and cleaned it up and put it on e-bay and it brought $6,000 without the wheels!!

I believe the seller is actually throwing in a free "tetanus" shot to the lucky devil who wins this "restorer's dream".
