I have always wanted a '60 and this would be the ultimate. It sure is a
shame, I hope someone can rescue it.

Richard, I would love to hear aboout your cars. I love the Larry Blomberg
story on the website. That car is exactly like the one my dopey friends and I
used to make fun of back in the late 70's. My only lifes regret is not knocking
on that grandma's door and offering to buy that car. Hindsight is truly
20/20.

Subject: Re: IML: 1960 Ghia Limo on
Ebay
Highly unlikely that anyone we know will end up with the car. A
friend of mine and myself have been interested in and trying to purchase the
car for the past week. The car has been sold twice now and the
owner has renigged both times with cash in hand. You will notice no
feedback as he is now trying ebay for the first time. I can certainly
understand his wanting to get as much money as possible but his dealings have
been unscrupulous. He is now trying his luck on ebay and is going
to let it ride. It is a total mess suffering a broken window, rear
quarter rust, and years of outdoor storage. The interior was redone
about six years ago but I am told it is now rotted and covered in mold.
The ad says it runs good, it doesn't, just look at the battery and
carburator. I talked to the owner this morning and his phone has been
ringing off the hook. As of 11 am he had a high offer from another
country. I will not reveal more than that as I may know who it is and I
don't want to interfere. I really was hoping to buy the car but knew it
was lost the moment it turned up on ebay. I shouldn't get so invested in
these things, but I do, and it was a big dissapointment. Aparently it
has been in the Atlanta area for a number of years its wherabouts
unknown. We were really hoping we could keep it local. The first
buyer who was screwed was in Sweden. Then, my friends' deal fell through
and I was going to make a last ditch try before it went to ebay. I think
the list of frustrated buyers is going to get longer before it's
over. All of us here are hoping that the car finds a caring new
owner to take on this project. Best of luck.

goodness everyone, check this out! It looks like it may go to the highest
bidder, and so far it is only up to $2,000. It doesn't look that bad,
although seeing such a fabulous car in pictures being stored outside in the
weather is a real shame. The air cleaner is simply thrown in the back seat
like this was just another old car! What a hoot! I believe it is in
Georgia.
What a score if one of our members ends up with
it!
