Why is this on ebay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Camar...QQcmdZViewItem

If I recall this owner is an active member here, and that car is absolutely amazing, I have watched the progress and such on here and just want to know, WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT? Sorry if this is in the wrong spot or anything, I was just kind of shocked is all. That car is sweet....

must be some emergency to sell a car like that with low reserve. I personally think the two tone looks out of sytle but its still a nice car. i just think the gfx on camaros are too small to make it two toned....maybe on a fox body

i dont think he know where the apostrophe key is

some lucky person is gonna get that car for far less than what its worth

man nothing gets but you guys.....

no emergency just way to many projects in the yard.. since this one is about 99% comcplete it was a good candidate for ebay. reserve is at 12k. you can start bidding anywhere i usually start at 1k but it will not sell for any less that 12k.ebay is a good tool for what it may actully get. wife wants some of the projects gone before winter.. this one may not go unless i get a min 12k. its like any project once you pour all the money in it you need to keep forever as you will never get what you put in it back out.

the f150 sold last week the flamed one, the new 250 is by far a sports car but its a good work truck. i also have a bass boat to list then i can start collecting stuff again.

been real busy painting stuff with flames so time is another issue someone should be enjoying this car.

thanks for looking place some bids This car if sold will finance the new garage mahal 40 x 40 it will be my new home if i build it... plans are for a total shop spray bopoth all the goodies then i can pack the projects in the garage and no one will be the wiser.

sweet car, I always liked it... I can bid on it if you wish to raise the price.. I won't bid over 12k thou!

I do, however, love those valve covers?? Where'd you find them.. are they stock replacements?? lemme know, i want to buy a set, thanks!

doh I was just looking at them again... they are perimiter bolt style, not centerbolt. you must be using adapter plates or non-stock heads.
