This is pretty odd. Seller has a $140k buy-it-now on this '69 Camaro, claiming he will restore it to the high bidder's specifications. I suppose that at $140k, he is likely to be making some money regardless of how the owner specs it out....

Honestly, folks.... For anyone with $140k looking to own his own '69 Camaro, there are a few top-notch restorers out there, and with a little research, you can make an informed decision. Is there anyone on earth who would pay that kind of $ to an unknown entity on eBay?

Says it will be built to your exact specs. You could go a long way with that......
Diamond encrusted wheels and platinum dipped body would be my specs, then I'd part it out for a few mil.

I think its binding for the seller? Or at least uses to be? I had bought a classic BMW M6 outside of eBay, set a day to pick it up, and its moron owner left the ad going because he was curious what it would go for(sold for a little more). I kept telling the owner to take it down and he waited until 12 hours left before he tried. The winning bidder ended up being an attorney, and told the seller straight out he would make the seller's life miserable if he didn't honor the eBay contract(or so I was told).

For 70k i would build my own dream Camaro with my own hands..(except for a few things farmed out like paint)
Then i would have 70k left for beer!
Half the fun is the build itself!
Pay someone to have your fun?

If you think about it, split up the figures, if he can get this done in one year for 70K labor, its a good deal for him, if he can do it in one year. 70K will buy lots of new parts and paint. That car does not look like it would need that much in parts.

Ebay's rules state auctions for vehicles and real estate are non-binding..I'm assuming that extends to sellers as well. http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/non-binding-bid.html

That stinks that you lost out on the M6 though...most likely the attorney was smarter than the seller, and the seller got scared. :(

Honestly I had forgot about until I was looking for my latest classic, then browsing eBay one day the bad memory came back. It was a pretty nice, one or two owner car with records. Than was close to a decade ago when I was still an avid BMWCCA member with a very sweet e30. That M6 would be worth 3x or 4x what it was then(about 5 years ago the early M BMWs exploded when people realized BMW was changing course), it is a shame!
