Vehicle Detail
This vehicle was donated by a local scrap yard to our 501 (c) 3 Non-Profit. see our website here: www.freethechildren.net The story goes like this, it was brought into the scrap yard by a company hired to clean off a old vacant lot after someone passed away. The vehicle has a readable texas plate on it and the vin is distinguishable inside the drivers door. We will offer a bill of sale to the winning buyer as well as the name of the scrap yard and the owners name and phone numbers to contact him directly for more information. We are therefore selling it only for "parts". When it came in, we had a mechanic go through it, fix brakes, electrical issues and get it running with a tune up and oil change. It purrrrs! it is a 390 engine, but we do not think it is the origional one... it has electronics on the distributor so we are thinking it may be an engine from the late 70's or early 80's. the transmission is 3 speed and automatic. It will lay a set of posi-tracks on pavement with a very nice smoke-show burn-out, with all the power it has and the clean running motor. The engine does not knock or burn any oil that we are aware of. When your bidding on this vehicle, know your proceedes are going twards our non-profit and are being used to help kids and families in need that are suffering from hunger in our region. bid deep, bid hard and give it all you can afford please. Any extra donations you may be inclined to give, including other items for us to auction or cash donations can be done by contacting us through our listing here on ebay or by traveling to our website listed above. *NOTE to potential bidders... Curently there are 28 of you actually watching this vehicle! Here is my take on it... anyone waiting until the last minute to bid is most likely not going to do very well with this many folks interested. You have used ebay before so you know what I am talking about. Everyone is afraid of showing their "hand" in this game of cards. Well, realize you can put in a bid any time and you can set a limit if you really like it. This will help you to gain the upper hand in the end game. If you wait till the last 30 seconds with this many folks involved you may not even get a chance to put in a bid! Just a suggestion!On Oct-18-11 at 19:08:27 PDT, seller added the following information: as of tonight there are not 69 potential buyers signed up to bid on this "Parts Car"... FYI, bid early, bid deep and set a high limit on what your willing to give to our charity when you bid. Anyone who bids over $4000 for this vehicle can request a portion of their payment to be given back to them as a tax deductable contribution to our non-profit. you will have to ask us for this, we will not go through these motions for someone who does not need it. Get crazy, go to our website and see where your money is going to be used: www.freethechildren.net tonight!
