Any Thoughts on This 45

[HoffLarr]

Found this 45 on Ebay. Not intereseted in buying, just wanted to get peoples thoughts on it.

I think the assertation that it has not been painted is not true as it looks like the red was painted over the white, but then the wierd thing is that the inside looks more tan than white, so maybe original color was tan, then painted white and then the red was painted over that to give it the two tone look that it has?

Also interesting is the "Rare diesel motor" although VIN shows it is an FJ, and the seller does not post any close-up pics of the engine.

April fools right?

Sold

Interesting. Sold with a "Buy it Now" price even though one was not originally listed. Guess the seller got his price.

SOAB. I would have loved to have gotten my hands on that one.
Pictures looked kind of scary. Description said it had very little rust.
Oh well, I will keep looking.

There wasn't a buy it now price listed on that, originally.

No sooner received an "outbid" notification, when a "ended" notification came through.

Hmmmmm, kind of defeats the purpose of putting out to bid.
I would have gone to at least $10,000. Maybe more if I had been drinking and the wife wasn't home!
Just sayin'

Rare diesel motor huh.. In a fixed top.. Meaning it dieseled when ya shut it off?

I was prepared for more, but figured during the week it'd go much higher than I have any business spending, but more than what it "sold" for.

Pisses me off that there's no accountability or at least a means to rate a lister and expose their previous pulls.

I bought a sex swing from eBay seller (unused, mind you) that had more scruples than any of the auto sales, by refusing to pull the auction when I offered a hefty sum to avoid being notified a thousand times I'd been outbid on, what may be considered, a racy purchase.

I had guys finalize the bid, then refuse to pay and refuse to communicate on big purchases.. I had to pay the Ebay fees on the bid and no way at all to rate them as horrible. Used to be a way back in the day when rating meant something on ebay. I think i still have a $65 credit on my ebay fees sitting there from that fiasco.
