HE ALMOST ALWAYS ENDS UP WITH THE SAME HIGH BIDDER INDY SOMETHING? A SHILL BID DEAL IF YOU ASK ME

You are probably right. Did you notice that the buyer, Indy-something, has received two positive feedbacks, and they both happen to be from the same guy that is selling the pace car?

Unfortunately this guy thinks he has a gold mine. I wish I (and anyone else) had never told him about its rarity. Now he thinks its worth $20k. The car will probably just languish.

I NEVER told him a price...I just told him it was 1 of 30 made and I hoped it went to a good home.

Good to know it DID finally get to a good home!

must have been some other ebayer he said he had a guy that told him it was worth 20k or maybe he was working me? and yes that is my GP4 in the background photo of my 86 vert

He was working you. That price is outrageous. If I remember the pictures, the car looked like it needed major detailing and maybe even some cosmetic work.

Would you mind giving us a "ball park" as to what you paid?

Did you get a "good", "fair" or "poor" deal?

I am fairley certin i got an "excellent buy" considering how rare and documented she is i even have the window sticker that says sold to FMC "show car". Mike i really hate to post what i paid for her this is one i may hang on to for quite a while unless i get a real good offer to buy it it really is one of a kind.

I like it and I'd give you a real good offer, & I'd keep it mint 4-ever, but I absolutley cannot afford the divorce that would come with it, and yes, I HAVE been warned!
Note to single car guys: Take heed.

Could we get you to post some good pictures similar to those of your red '86 convertible of your GPIV?

I remember it from eBay, but never saw any real good pictures of it.

Thanks,
Brent

YES! PLEASE!

On a somewhat SIDE note, if the engine bay is 100% unmolested...could we get pics of all the wires/hoses/boxes/dangles and dongles? With the air cleaner lid off?

I want to start getting a game plan for what I need in my engine bay to get it looking stock again.
