$12,050.00? Dream on!

[Alpine 1789]

One of the more optimistic auctions I have ever seen, especially for a car that:
"runs and drives around my yard, The headlites and tailites go on, brakes work, body is ok. This is a project there is a few more things to do to get it the way you would want."

i hate it when someone advertises for a sunbeam to become a rat rod! yuk:mad:

He must have put the decimal in the wrong place.

I guess I must be out of it - what's a "rat rod"?

guys who have "rat rods" don't like to call them that...

A "rat rod" is a hot rod without the chrome, custom paint and other tricks...just think of a T bucket with primer and flat black headers and seats from a VW bolted in.

... and as has been forever memorialized by "Big Daddy" Ed Roth...

 

[Chuck Ingram]

VW seats would make a high end 'rat rod'. How about aluminum beach chairs.

The market will take care of itself. How many times have we re-listed with a lower price. I know when I dream I dream big

 

[Mike O'D]

The bid is now $950.00. I told you they put the decimal in the wrong place.
