Yikes 🥶.  That car looks to have had an extensive going over, and the quality doesn't seem to be worthy of the price to me.  But what do I know?    

That's why I opened up a topic on taxation values. How the hell to they justify these prices? So basically because its not restored and family owned it's worth big bucks?

The bidding on this one looks odd.  Could be I don't understand the way Hemmings works though.

If it works like other auctions I've seen my understanding is that RW1968 placed a bid of $100,000 (or something close since I do not know the bid increments for this site) at some point before 01/20/2022 @ 6pm.  Then someone came along and placed a bid of $65,000 on 01/20/2022 @ 6pm and was immediately outbid by RW1968 since his bid was higher, this happened again and again until RolenMiller came along and placed a bid on 01/23/2022 @ 9:33am that was finally more than RW1968's maximum bid thus now being the high bidder.

Ah, thanks for explaining that.  I have only ever followed BaT bidding, which is quite different

It is called proxy bidding.

You place a bid for more than the current bid, and go about your day. You choose an amount higher than needed to be the current highest bidder, but it only bumps up should someone come along and bid while you’re out drinking beer or something. The amount you choose is usually the highest you would pay.

If someone else comes along and outbids your proxy bid, you get a notification that you’ve been outbid.

You can then go back and up your bid, if you wish to, and the auction isn’t done.

1.25 million. Cool.  

I'm afraid I could NOT cover the deposit on that one.

 

Edit:  Deposit is only $500? OK, ok, i guess i could do that.

Did Paul ever drive this car?  It doesn't say in the eBay description, but my first memory of attending auto racing was Summit Point, WV in about 1975, and I think I recall him being there at that time.  And, I do remember seeing the red white and blue Datsuns.  I was 5 at that time.

I wonder if the strategy here is to garner attention on Ebay for a few months at that price...then move it to Bat?
