While this car had a pretty nice and bright paint, the engine bay appeared =
to have been left somewhat untouched, no cold air hose, old wiring harness =
still in place with electrical tape in places and many detailing pieces jus=
t painted body colour. The interior was either original or looking pretty t=
ired judging by the seats its piping and the carpets.

Perhaps the price was a little on the low side and a reserve is always a go=
od idea, however it is also possible that the owner was satisfied with the =
price it brought.

Hard to believe they haven't changed the listing from a BJ7 to a BJ8 yet.  =
It was advertised in January for $53K US:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/1968-Aus=

If it matters to any potential buyer, the BJ8 is using a body number plate
from another car about ten thousand chassis numbers earlier than the VIN
claimed, and the engine serial number plate is missing.  The text says the
engine "is believed to be original", but with a missing tag there is no way
to verify that, no matter what is "believed".
