Geeeez, guys. This is a GREAT story. Don't disseminate it into who deserves what [that damn entitlement thing] or legal possibilities for all the greedies that want a slice of an abandoned pie. I LOVE stories like this. I hope the seller and his bro-in-law enjoy this wild, random experience and are not tortured for it.
The seller talked with the original owner [Stan].
Once the value of the car was understood he even said, "IF I KNEW WHAT IT WAS BEFORE I LISTED IT , I WOULD HAVE SHIPPED IT BACK TO STAN ANTLOCER AND LET HIM DEAL WITH IT.", but due to his desire to maintain his eBay rating and not pull the auction, he proceeded.
and more....
Q: Had you any clue as to what this car was when you listed it? Bet it's a shocker! Hopefully someone restores it to it's former glory. Would make an awesome story for the SPEED channel! Nov-07-08
A: NO CLUE
Q: Will you stop the auction for $160,000.00 cash??? NO BS!!! Regards, Matt Nov-07-08
A: NO NO NO
Q: I been watching this since day 1. I am so happy for you and happy for all the Old Pontiac guys who are so thrilled about this recovery- myself included. You seem to have handled this deal so well, i bet you are exhausted. dont let any zero bidders scum screw this up for you. good luck! Nov-07-08
