eBay tat volume 3.

Nice enough onion but seriously, 1,000,000 pence is silly, well ok 999,900 pence either way is pretty mental.

 

Makes me wonder what my Cossie will be...

 

It's pretty pointless to assess the value of one's car based on one daft dinglebrain inept to put the decimal point where it belongs.

"Just" and "paint" are mutually exclusive.

 

Poor choice of words on my part, On the plus side, it's already primed!

Here is a perfect example of everything I hate about "Classic Cars".

 

 

 

FULLY RESTORED AT GREAT EXPENSE INCREDIBLY RARE MOPAR WITH 318 V8 STUNNING CAR !

 

 

So someone took a '61 Dodge Dart Pioneer, hardly a car that justifies such an investment, and restored it within an inch of its life.

Needless to say that the colour selection was Auction Red with black naughahide inside.

Terrible.

Although this combination was probably even available, it just doesn't say early Sixties America to me.

 

And let's take a car of the era when Detroit spent a lot of money and effort on making the arguably nicest wheel covers ever made,

bin them and replace them with those fucking dogdishes:

Besides, Mopar hadn't painted wheels body colour for quite a while in 1961.

 

Then go ahead and ask Nineteen Thousand Pounds for it.

 

Nineteen Thousand? For a '61 Pioneer?

Imagine the cars you could buy with that money.

At first I thought this is a bit too expensive to list here.

Then I checked what the alternative looks like:

I mean, seriously?

 

You're right, that sweet ass Mini knocks it out of the water.

No, it doesn't. Neither is it JRG, nor does it have those instruments that are too shitty even for a Pound shop.

If I wanted to pop £2k on a camper, this would be the one.

Auction Red paint - check

Terrible black interior - check

Daft asking price - check

I checked the location to figure out whether it looked familiar.

 

Broxburn. Ah, the central belt.

 

It probably is the one I saw at the Morris Leslie auction a couple of months back, in Perthshire. Auction Red indeed!
