Only 2 days to go!

It's for a fantastic cause!
  • The winner will also receive a complimentary registration for two to Smokies GT 2019 provided they bring the GT2RS to the event.
  • The allocation locks in early December and builds in mid January and can have WP but no PTS and no Magnesium Wheels.

The auction ends on 11/18 at 5PM

I was just notified that we have a donor matching the first $22,000 donated to the Georgia chapter before 12/18. Woohooo!! This is for all donations, but this auction will be essential in reaching the full match.

To the bidders... remember your winning bid will be a tax deductible donation, so gross it up to win!

The bidding went up $1k overnight. A good sign we will see some activity today. I hope this thing pops $100k.

Yes, it would be fantastic to get the auction amount over $100k

Remember, the ENTIRE auction amount for the allocation is donated directly to The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation http://cff.org

Let me see, what am I missing?

It’s still early, but $78k is silly low, no?

Even at $100K it’s too low being tax deductible, isn’t that the equivalent of paying a dealer $65K over?
The ADM is higher then that on GT2RS, specially on a configurable allocation!
With tickets to two smokies events I guess one would be in the money at well over $100K.
I could see people with a GT3RS allocation moving up :-)

Buyer pays premium directly to http://cff.org/ So fully deductible.Item Description

This auction is for a GT2RS Allocation. The winner will make a tax deductible donation for the winning bid amount to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and then have the opportunity to buy a fully configurable GT2RS from Hennessy Porsche for MSRP. The allocation locks in early December and builds in mid January. The winner will also receive a free registration for 2 to Smokies GT2019 provided they bring the new GT2RS to the event

I’ve watched only BaT auctions and often there’s more bidding in the last 15 minutes then all 6 days prior.
Will this one also auto-extend deadline by 1 minute or can it be one by the fastest trigger finger?

Next bid is at 82,000?

Glad you upped the increments!
when buying a $300,000 car, only peasants up $250.
