Was this the car that Bob Clark was interested in about a year ago?

It was at a dealer in the LA area at that time and I looked it over for him,
then posted a very long and detailed report about it.  You can find it in
the archives, and I believe there are some pictures available also, probably
Hugh Hemphill has them at his fingertips.  The auction was fraudulent; the
dealer has some buddy in Phoenix who bids on all his auctions for him - I
caught on and reported him to eBay.  They were asking $6800 for the car.
The bottom line is the car is decent, although it needs some work and a new
interior.  What's it worth?   I'd say around $5000, perhaps more if you
really like that design.  It does run and drive very well, or at least it
did a year ago.   If you bought it, I think you will be happy with it, or at
least you won't be "Hopping mad", Keith.
