ebay January 2012 - >13500 due to noted speedo problem - Oregon, $18,000

Don't know what happened to the Lunds.

I have no problem with someone trying to make a buck. Perhaps the PO really needed the cash. The "no known problems" worries me as the old ebay ad referred to a speedo problem, but perhaps it had been fixed.

Funny how the drivers window is in the exact same position in both pics ;)

He watched Barrett Jackson and figured there are some clueless people out there, and one may bite.

License plate is the same too. Was probably never registered once in NY.

Yeah... That's all kinds of scary.

My mind goes to - Couldn't title/register the vehicle in NY for some reason. Probably engine/emissions related. So he got estimates to fix it and then... WHOA too expensive! Gotta dump this and make some mony while I can.

I think this is actually a dealer. I recall seeing one of his ebay listing before, and a quick search brings up his website, with two other D's on it (neither one 982)

Definitely Barrette Jackson related.

I've seen it on that add and a few others before that say the 5-speed is rare... It doesn't seem that way to me, but is that actually true?

I think it's something like 60/40 split auto/manual, so neither one would be considered rare.

DMCH might be responsible too.

Wow. I just noticed that one of those expensive cars has a plastic coolant tank. Ouch.

That's a 10% deduction right there; still too high at that, even.

Don't you love the homemade front grill:thumbdown: And the Velcro strips on all the lights? Must have covers for the lights. Don't know why they don't say it's an automatic.
