The only reason a person retracts a bid like that is to play games. The seller is going to learn a big ebay lesson unfortunately.

Another one found! Not surprised to hear the bidding might be a bit shady. Was thinking how this one might finally bring decent money. There were a couple recently that were asking higher than usual $. Don't know if they sold or not. 4K cars are still undervalued in my opinion.

All that and a SoCal car with original black plates. Very cool. (Why didn't he call Bill Thomas if he wanted a Nickey 427 or drive down to Dana in South Gate and order their 427 Camaro?)

No wonder there weren't very many of them.

Just looked at the l78 67 on ebay. Wow!Would make a great restoration project. The price so far is to high. You would have to pay about 30k max to make it a fair deal. I have done four frame restorations in the last 10 years and the costs are way higher then you think. With missing parts heads$$ carb$$ fan shroud$$ you would be buried deep on this one. Plus can the engine be repaired? Anyone else have thoughts on this car??

Note the open &quot;4&quot; in the Tonawanda stamp assembly date? I have a Corvette Tonawanda stamp the same day with the same open &quot;4&quot; and I've never seen another. Now one shows up on a Camaro engine built the same day in the same plant, May 24th, 1967.

One of my idiot friends tried putting a bid in at the last minute from his phone but it kept kicking him back to the auction page instead of taking the bid. Did that happen to anyone else ?
