I must say that the Denver Boot is a nice touch. It will go good with the original green.

So people are placing offers on the car. The price goes up to match the offers the seller has been getting. I'm really wondering why the seller chose this "method" to try and sell the car.
I'm sure more than one person has spent money to see the car or have someone else evaluate it only to get burned one way or another.
This seller is making a ton of bummed out and pissed off people in order to find a person who has a ton of money to throw at this.

The car should have been listed on ebay that way the seller can see what people are willing to pay without a ton of hassles in the process

[Alaskan_TA]

The easy answer - no actual price, so it is not really for sale.

the Ad is no longer on hemmings website  

[taxspeaker]

Well the unusual method worked for him-he got a lot more than anyone expected and I doubt if he cares about our opinions! Good luck to the patient guy that bought it whoever he is. To have the patience it took to buy this it would appear that the patience will be a good thing while renovating this one.

[farm966]

So you think he actually sold it??

[66FBCharger]

I'm wondering if it is really sold or the Hemmings ad only runs for so many months. My guess is the ad time ran out.
I am guessing you will see it back on Hemmings for sale very soon.

[charger_fan_4ever]

Probably canned the ad and going to relist it in a month once the buzz dies down lol. You know he is following this thread

[kiwitrev]

he told me he was going to not pick a buyer till the add ran out then email "bidders" for last and final offers, waiting on my email. regarding ebay that has been explained earlier in the thread

[41husk]

I hope his high bidders renig

if someone will email the 50 photo package, i will gladly add them here

 Days on end have been spent discussing the method this guy has used to sell this car. Who cares! If you really want to buy cars like this you will run into his type occasionally. Enough of bashing the guy. I personally think it should have just been listed on Ebay and it probably would have went for the latest asking price or their about. Its a Daytona its not going to go cheap in any condition. Anybody that really wants one at this point in the game and doesn't have one is fast running out of time. Now what about the 50 pictures can we get them added here so we have a permanent record of what the car looked like?

Troy is not the only one hoping high bidder drops out.

that car is going for way to much money,  for that price i would buy a hemi or a restored charger rt

If it ends up selling for what's been posted, I bet the 1st thing that pops up in the buyer's mind after he gets it home is, "What did I do?'  LOL.
Unless it's a case of more money than brains.

Or, he or she has been chasing a dream for a LONG time and now has the financial means of achieving it.

Yeah that is what I said a month and a half ago! Sure has a lot of rot for a Texas car. The seller even agreed with me! Well I guess now that the super secret 50 set pics of the car, that were password protected on goggle flash, are out of the bag, now all of these potential buyers that have not seen this car in person can get an idea of how bad a shape it really is in! I don't think this Daytona spent it's entire early but short life in Texas!

I'm rooting for the Underdog here. Go Danny Go  We'll have twins. 

[hemi68charger]

With ALL that rust....... I'm sure a bunch of people will run for the hills............. Just like Lot's wife, better not look back........ Just keep running.........  

"Being facetious"   

[1970gator]

Maybe I'm in the minority....but, the car ain't that bad IMO. I was on this car very early contacting the seller only hours after it was listed with cash in hand and the trailer hooked up thinking I was finally gonna own my dream car....then came the revelation that myself and the seller had a very basic misunderstanding of what OBO meant. So I put my money back in the bank and let the seller know I wouldn't pay more than 35K....because of principle I suppose (principle is what I call my wife, lol).  As for 'dry' Texas cars, well I've bought somewhere near 100 second gen cars out of Texas in the last 20 years dragging them back to Oklahoma. I35 divides the state geographically right down the middle but also climate wise. Arid and dry west Texas produces solid cars but in my experience humid and wet east Texas cars can be very rusty. Just my 2 pennies.
