$8389!  The phrases "All the money" and Well sold" come to mind

I know a lot of us have been watching the barn find bugeye  on eBay that was

dead by this car as some of the commentators on BAT seem to be.  $7300 and the
reserve hasn't been met?  If you wanted to do a concours build, it requires a
complete tear-down and virtually every part is going to need replacement or
refurbishment. If it's as solid as it looks, might be worth a small premium in
money saved on body repair.  I respect the patina of a well maintained
vehicle, but this isn't one of them. It was last registered in 1988, so it
looks like it was used pretty hard for 30 yrs before being put away.  Would
anyone really be happy driving this rat around as is and brag about its
patina?  Have I been out of
 the market too long and this car is actually
worth what it seems to be fetching?
