hope the link works ok

I believe that this car was on eBay about a year and a half ago, didn't sell then.

Evel Knievel lives in the Tampa Bay area. A friend bought his Zimmer a couple years ago and it needed alot of work. I just have one question in reference to the sellers comments. They say, "Our winning bid for the car was approx 30K in mid 90's. Believe that after 911 that should be worth today at least 60% of our bid to be successful." I don't understand what they are trying to say. Do they want at least 60% of the 30K that they paid (got ripped off, IMO) for the car? Looks Corvette-ish to me.

i think it means 30k should be 60% of what its worth today... or an easier way to say it is they are saying their reserve is somewhere around the 50k mark.

Oh yes, now I understand. Brain was a little slow this a.m. when I read their sales pitch. More like all confused when I looked at that car :stupid:

I think they're simply admitting that the market value for such a car has gone down. I would agree with that assessment.

I agree with Mike. Prices for many/most collectables dropped like a rock when the economy fell in the toilet at the turn of the century. IMO they overpaid for it anyway.

Wish I could find the thread where the auction for this beast was discussed last time it hit the market. Didn't sell then, doubt it'll sell this time either

Carl, I was thinking the same thing... it was earlier this month that it was listed...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6187&item=2484003728&rd=1

and prior to that back in late 2002....

but I can't find the dern thread either.....

Hi Wayne;

Yeah, it was in 2002 that we discussed it. I seem to recall that it was determined that this was a 280Z chassis, but a search using "Evel Knievel", "Evel Eagle", or just "Knievel" turns up nothing.

I missed the auction listing earlier this month.

looks like it has a flat tire, or am i wrong?

It took me a while but I see the top has been chopped. It really does look like a Corvette that way. I would say they were trying to make it look like a Vette for whatever reason.
