eBay Rusted out S^!t box on ebay for 10 grand - Not Mine

I feel like people aren't understanding the concept of a "barn find".

its not supposed to be a rust bucket found in a barn. its supposed to be a vehicle that would be rusted out if not for the protection and preservation provided by said barn.

And whats with people wanting so much for these things now a days?! this guys opening bid is twice what the thing is worth.

Sorry, now I'm done.

Cheers

agreed. Already bid to twice what it is worth

Was the barn at the beach? Holy rusted metal, Batman.

And where are all these damn barns??

looks like there is an attachment point on the frame for a plow.

Wow its at 3000 and not reached the sellers minimum?? The guy must be insane.

 

[shawnfj40]

And who in their right mind would bid that much for that?

 

[Landpimp]

agree a ton of $$ and not worth it. but I would love to know the story, the interior is as new in most spots.

it came from Illinois originally according to the sticker on the 1/4

wonder what the funky bracket is on the frame. Does not look like it was a plow truck(which is what many of these look like)

For sure his wife told him to buy it and flip it !

Murphy said it is immoral to let a fool keep his money.

Does it count if I find one behind a barn? What if there are barn animals in it... does that count? What if it smells like a barn?

Oh the possibilities are endless...

Can't wait until the FJ60 sales catch the feverish 40 foolishness. I am restoring two as we speak. Should be worth at least $20-30K each, right? I mean, I once drove them past a farm that I'm pretty sure had a barn.
