From the ad:

Car is in Scottsdale Az was awaiting the Barrett Jackson Action Shipper got the car there late for check in. Now am stuck so selling outside the tent.
Completely correct looks like $100k car!!!
Me thinks he would have been disappointed when the bidding petered out below $30K. Surprised he's offering it at less than $25,000 now. Looks to be worth near that, if just for a nice clean good looking driver.
*edit* just spotted one major drawback: it has a TH350 instead of TH400. Like Gary said, that's kind of clueless/stupid.

Car started out a rock solid 33k original mile Lemans.
I kind of wonder it's actually even a 400 car... In spite of what the breather stickers say. I haven't seen too many LeMans with factory 400. I'm not that 'up' on them though. Have you guys?

I noticed that, too. Not sure how it can be a LeMans post coupe "all #s Matching everything 2 owner car" and "Completely correct looks like $100k car!!!" Judge clone at the same time? The biggest motor you could get in a LeMans in 1969 is a 350.

The car that this should be cloned into? The 1969 ET prototype.

Exactly what I thought when I looked at it. It would have generated an entirely different conversation on this forum!
