Did you forward your ebay Listing to BAT? if they post it you will likely get some more attention there.

BaT was only will to let me do a no reserve auction listing, so I wanted to let it sit on eBay for a week first. The thought of it only bidding up to $1,500 made me sick to my stomach. If I can't find it a good home for now it'll go back to sitting on one of my back burners

I understand about the auction but they have articles on there all the time about vehicles that appear in Ebay auctions. So I wasn't sure if you could send in the ebay listing and get some more attention

So were you able to sell it? I see you ended the Ebay listing.

Well I thought I had a local buyer who was serious, ended the auction, and then it fell through again. Debating what to do at this point. I just moved over the weekend and now have more space, but it's still a nagging issue.

So as of right now, no new owner.

Sold! :bawl: :thumbsup:

The car got picked up this weekend, and is headed back to Europe! A racer/builder in Holland is taking the car back across the pond for the first time in 45 years, and I'm really excited to see what they do with it. I believe it's going to the same group that bought Luke's 16-valve B20 engine, so I think a very fitting home.

Thats sad/happy to hear you sold it as it sounded like a great project, but thats great some enthusiasts picked it up!!

Your most recent pics from the sold post aren't showing up on my computer for some reason, I'd love to see some final shots of it!

Does that mean its going for a ride in a shipping container?

That is what it means! Turns out it's cheaper to ship a car from LA to Holland than it is to ship a car from LA to Seattle. It was like $1,450 including insurance and picking it up from my house, rather than me getting it to their shipping yard. I was extremely surprised at how cheap it was.


I grabbed the account protected photo link from Google Photos when I grabbed the URL's, photos should be visible now.

Good to know on the shipping. I wonder if thats a RORO vs a container (Roll On Roll Off)...RORO prices are often very reasonable. Gives me some hope of being able to ship a LHD land cruiser home from that region of the world if I can ever find one.
