Default eBay: miscategorized, will anyone bid?

Nothing that I see particularly interesting about this one, except it's not in eBay Motors it's in "Collectibles" in regular eBay. If you want it, you might not have any bidding competition...

I believe this is the same car, although the year is listed as an 81 on CL. If you look at the pictures from the SA CL posting you can see the same air intake tubing, funky carpets, brown interior, and chrome tail pipe. It started out at $4K, then dropped to $2K OBO pretty quick. I would guess it is a basket case, but I am willing to go look at it if anyone is seriously interested.

You know, I was wondering what my 928 would like if I barfed on the carpet. Now I no longer have to wonder.

Just a follow up on this, the high bid went to $1000, but for some reason it's back on that market, still miscategorized:

I don't think that is fair, there is no picture of engine or undercarriage, so you have no way to judge. He is honest about the interior. It sounds like he isn't expecting more than $2K, so 1,500 takes it? I hope someone saves this car.

That carpet looks nasty. I can just imagine how bad that interior smells.

Default Need Mechanic in Vegas

I just found one on ebay that the guy had listed under 'Salvage"... the title is CLEAN, he just couldn't keep it running - I bought it for $1800. '79 5 speed...

Here's the ebay item # 230444483093

It's gonna be here in a few days... Anyone in Vegas wanna take a look and perhaps help me figure out what's wrong?

Scrape and clone the residue on the carpet and I'll bet disco would be reborn.

CI$, when it doesn't run right you check fuel pressures and replace things until its fixed, usually all the main items, fuel dist, wur, etc.
