    Sold figures $128,000 purchase price $700 for 2 rear tires $500 to my friend for using his dealer license $132,000 sold price Profit $2800 :thumbsup So, instead of paying to rent a car for a week I made $2800 and put 100 miles on a GT. That works for me. More importantly I learned more about...

    Just kidding! I was just trying to get a rise out of everyone.:rofl He knows what it really needs. By the way, back on the farm in Iowa the saying was "Let's make a silk purse out of a sow's ear"

    Sold to PerformanceAndy I sold the car to Andy from Performance Auto Sales. He feels a good wet sand and buff will do the trick.

    GT ON EBAY WITH SALVAGE TITTLE

    Just sticking up for myself It's not about selling the car Shelby, I really don't care when, where, or how that happens. I just like to help people consider different perspectives and be a little more conscious of what they're saying. Just the facts Mam, just the facts. How many of you are...

    GT ON EBAY WITH SALVAGE TITTLE

    $1000 challenge! I have $1000 waiting for you to prove this car has any frame damage, been rolled, or has an engine replacement. If you want to take it apart I'll help! Relax and please have some respect for people telling it straight. And I am SERIOUS about the $1000! If I'm right you...

    Bullish I guess. It's an opportunity to apply myself a small amount to make $7-9k. If I sell it at $130,000 that's it, I'll never get anymore and I don't get to drive it. If I wait for what I think it is worth I may not be able to find someone at $130,000 again. That is true, however, since...

    I sure will. It's just a car and money, neither of which really belongs to any of us. I heard a great comment once about stuff. A guy was flying over the country considering all the records at city hall. Each parcel of land has a name associated with it in the records. Within 100 years or...

    I knew taming the "Abominable Snowman" would get me somewhere.

    More story stuff, sorry. My calm response. My name is Scott Ales, my son is Dawson Grant Ales, I have used his name since 1998 on ebay and on all forums. YES, I have bought and sold just about everything you can imagine with an internal combustion engine. YES, there are millions of people...

    Shelby, you are right about the ribbing. But at the end of the day when it is sold and gone I will have made a couple of bucks and was able to drive a fun car for a little while, (my 9 year old loves it). Not a bad deal really. Plus I have always enjoyed a challenge. If you want me to do...

    I suppose it would be better if I wait till it's sold. Then I will no longer be a dealer or promoting it. I will tell you that it is WAY more than that. Shelby knows what I paid. Back in the day when I was trading 30-40 exotics a month wholesale my average profit for the year per car was...

    Hmmm, this is tricky. I can read but not respond. Ok, I feel like Rudolph...... Join in any reindeer games! I have owned some cars in the years past as a dealer for over a couple of years. It is really odd how that moniker bothers people. If I pay sales tax I can play. No problem...

    I used to be a dealer. We did not renew our license this year for the first time in 18 years. I did however purchase this car with a friends license. So yes, I am acting in a dealer fashion. Would you rather I not comment on the forum?

    And by the way, I always tell people to give a story about themselves and the item they're selling when listing it on Ebay. It works for me so I do it. Lastly, did you all really think that there would never be GTs with stories in the world? Given the performance of these this is just the...

    Gentlemen, Remember, there is a rider for every saddle. I have driven this car for the last two days and have been stopped by one fella so he could simply take a picture of it. I could not have been more up front with my description and pictures of this car. I have talked with several...
