Apparently, guy inherits junker and puts it on Fleabay thinkin he may get a couple c-notes for it.

Make that 2200 c-notes. Just shows you never can know what you really have unless you do some research or get just plain lucky.

Interesting, too, that the EBay car had no motor, no transmission, and the front wrap and hood appear to have been replaced with steel--yet it still commanded big $.

Yes, only 6 made but only 2 known to still exist until last week.

Besides the 6 Lemans coupes, they also made 6 SD Tempest station wagons. One of the wagons was restored with all the origional parts and sold for 900k.

As for the junker coupe, the aluminum front end of the car was located in Fla last year and the engine is there, too. Looks like the buyer has some more dealing to do.

A little more cash and he can do a total restoration with the origional engine and this will be worth 1 mil+.

Buy American!

This woulda been a great candidate for POTY in 2008!
