Unusual 365 on ebay

I spoke to the owner yesterday and he said that the car has no service history, the tools are incorrect, and its missing the warranty card, dealer directory etc etc. The list goes on and on.

 

A black hole.

That sounds like a lot of money to change out some tail lights.

 

I spoke to the seller on Thursday - apparently he'd owned the car for 9 years and bought it from a friend and was only selling it as the space it took up was required for a new piece of metal working machinery as he runs a metal fabrication workshop.

I asked if the front and rear mods were due to accident damage, he said no and that he modified the car to his own taste. He seemed surprised when I said the value of the car was if it was original and I asked how much work was involved in putting it back to standard.

He said that he had all of the front items inc bumper and grill etc and that the rear wings were still there, underneath the modifications. He said for him it wasn't a big job to put it back as it was.

I asked what he wanted for the car for a quick sale and was told that the reserve price was £8k but he thought that it would far exceed that figure due to he amount of interest and phone calls he'd received inc. one Aussie who was in the UK and had offered £10k as he needed the car for a client (maybe this was the eventual ebay auction winner ?)

I thought long and hard about bidding on the car but eventually decided that I had too many projects with limited garage space at present until new garage built at home (the proposed size is 10m wide by 20m long plus workshop - cant wait for work to start in the next few weeks !!!)

Less than £9k for the car is a good buy for a 365, even an unusual one like this. I agree it's not exactly easy on the eye BUT it could be lived with for a few years until prices increase to a level whereby it's worth reverting it back to stock. To be honest I think it could even be worth it now if the car was mechanically sound and required £10-12k to put right.

I'm sure in years to come many of us will kick ourselves for not becoming the new owner and I for one would like to know who bought it and what the plan is for the old girl.

Anyone care to own up to being the winner ? No offence to our Aussie friends but I hope this isn't yet another car bound for upside down land !

 

Good day Russell,

I agree. I think that the parts on this car alone (engine, carbs, transmission, glass, interior, etc) was worth the sale price. I, too, considered it ... but for me the transport logistics (i.e. time and cost) made the decision for me... alas...

Cheers,

Sam

 

Not me.
Anyone know what did it eventually go for?

$13g, folks, carbed engine and a gearbox, nothing wrong with this car at the price.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out it becomes a donor for a re-body. After the sale of a few unwanted pieces the chassis and driveline will be cheap. I say well bought.

 

If the toolkit and jack etc had been included it would have been a bargain. They are a fortune nowadays.

I spoke to the seller but the tools he described to me were incorrect.

 

Did anyone keep the pictures of this car's sale ?

 

Hi Paul got your email I'll forward a couple on when I get 5 mins
