Came across this on eBay this morning. No affiliation with seller -- posting for information. Can't see much in the four poor pics, but if the listing is accurate . . .

"Garaged kept 39 years, 6,000 original miles, 4 speed manual. Diamond condition, original owner."

Gonna have to spend alot to baseline that baby. That's ALOT of sitting around. Poor piggy, it's like it's been in prison it's whole life.

New tires, new fluids, tune up...good to go

Going to need a lot more pictures and details to get $39k for a pig, looks nice in the pics. I'm kind of scared of anything on Long Island after the hurricane ...

Sometimes, from sitting so long without moving, the seals will dryrot and start leaking. Seen it on tractors, etc. It could get expensive rebuilding everything. Going to be fun watching what happens.

someone watched the TLC one 2 weeks ago...

4 pictures and a one sentence description - seriously? I wonder what sellers like this think as they craft the ad and think yea that should do it as they hit submit. Potentially one of the best true original 55 gems left but who knows with an ad like that. As others said will need some baselining to bring back to being road safe but if legit it's pretty amazing.

Here's hoping the seller cleans out his garage and takes some decent photos so we can better view this wagon(if it is truly a time capsule)......

for 39k i was expecting it to fly or convert to a boat or something. but 4k miles means it must have spent a decent amount of time in "piggy purgatory".

Orig Owner - prob a roll over on the odo

 

[crushers]

haters are going to hate
easy enough to tell IF it is a roll back.

looks very nice in the partial pics.

 

[luckysob]

How do you tell?

anyone else tried to get more information from the seller on this Pig stuck in a time capsule? I inquired to see if the seller could send additional pics and any additional information he may have. That was 4 or 5 days ago. No response from seller. Just curious as any true Pig enthusiast would be.

I contacted him also...requesting more photos - zero response.

Nice selling tactics

Same here no response and in the area.....

Not much we can do but watch the caged Pig begging to be released from exile.

 

[nuclearlemon]

good for them if they get it, but i hope they don't since it drives me batsh*& when someone asks a small fortune for a rig and can't even bother to pull it out of the garage and take at least one half decent picture

 

[crushers]

oh settle down, young lady.
i know you could never properly restore a 55 back to original for that coin, and even if you found a sucker to work for free, it still wouldn't be restored.

Maybe it is being sold to settle an estate, thus the lack of replies.

I do object to the storage conditions, but it beats leaving it outside for the rockers to fill with water...
