I Like Putting Things About Cars, Boats, Trains And Planes On The Blog,

also about people's good fortune, treasure hunters hitting the big find for example, well although this story is a little old it has both, e-Bay seller 123eclin put the car above, without engine and gearbox I may add, up for sale at starting bid of $500, but after one eBay user realised the battered 1963 Pontiac LeMans Tempest was in fact one of six specially-made Super Duty versions, the price started to rise, what helped boost sales even more during the nine-day auction was that it also appeared to be one of the cars driven by American drag racing legend Stan Antlocer, the car's Plexiglas windows, unusual suspension setup and a dash board bearing the name of a racetrack tipped bidders to its racing history, when the virtual gavel fell, eBay user ccsi2000 had bought a very rare, if a little rusty, LeMans for $226,521, was 123eclin, who hadn’t expected to get more than a few hundred dollars for the rusting classic lucky or what!
