This guy has the luckiest dumbness. One of 6 factory built drag cars. Fastest car in 1963 etc. BIG time history and the guy HAD no clue

Super cool story!
I like the part where the owner stuck to what he said that he would do. He said, I'm selling it on ebay. period.

Someone with money to burn I guess. Is it just me?......I can't for the life of me see that POS worth anything near that selling price. history or not.

The same is said about our cars.

Posted by: TedK Nov 11 2008, 10:02 PM

Yes, but over $220.000? You could buy a couple of awesome, excellent condition supercars for that much.

Didn't you just trip over a rock and find a Creamsicle?

Posted by: markb Nov 12 2008, 11:59 AM

Wow, great story.

I was just thinking the same thing

Cool story really. Car is not my cup o tea but for a muscle car guy this would be a killer find with the history behind it.

Thats pretty cool. Lucky bastard...

I would love to have an original 471 - maybe someday...

I think the best part is he didn't get screwed... evilbay actually worked for him as he would have never known but for listing on eBay (clearly the community started asking questions about the car and drove everyone to determine it's origin).

Had that traded hands locally and some guy just restored it, it could still be floating as a mystery and maybe traded hands for a couple grand.

Fricken cool IMO.

I love some of his comments too (don't know what's in trunk, hopefully not Hoffa, etc). I loved the EXCLAIMER as well hahahaha.

In the answers to questions he was asked about the car, the seller suggests that Jay Leno is the buyer. And he probably has money to burn.

That is true but it ain't worth no 220k . If I'm wrong I'll list that sucker right now
