    Hi guys,
    I'm looking at his 71 BH shaker hood convert now at 30K on ebay, Anyone can tell me more about this car?
    Looks like a deal that's too good to be true right?

    I don't know anything about the car, but I don't like the listing.  The seller is very short on info, and you get absolutely nothing out of the pictures (too small with no detail).  Also, it might be a No Reserve auction, but he conveniently stuck in the bit about reserving the right to end early.  He obviously has a number in mind, and will close the auction if he doesn't get that number.  Sorry if I'm a bit jaded, but I see this all the time.  It would not surprise me if the car is legit and in good shape, but it's not going to sell for that price.  It will probably end early if it's not over 50K with 1 day to go.

    It's sitting at 30K now, but IF it's real, it's worth twice that.   :screwy:   :screwy:   :screwy: The seller has perfect feedback though.   :dunno:

    I would try calling the seller and ask for better pic.s and more info., then you can make a more informed decision from there.

    Thanks for all your answers.
    It's like I thought, when it looks too good to be true, there's a 99.999% chance that it's not.
    Well, I'll just keep looking then.

    I'm certainly not saying I wouldn't bid on it.  I just wouldn't bid without looking at it first, and I also would not be surprised if the auction ends early with no sale.

    If the car is for sale locally call the person and make him an offer on what you are willing to pay he may end it early for you.   :2cents:

    I can't believe this ended at just $37,100.  That is a steal, at least it would have been a year ago.

    WOW, that's less than 1/2 of what the Ocean City asking price was. Someone got a great deal IMO. You just never know what something will fetch on any given day.
