    It is back on ebay. The car overall doesn't look too bad, but it has apparently been mostly sitting for 32 years. He does apparently start it up and drive it around periodically. You'd think he'd choose one of those times to get some better photos of it as all he has is the same few he's had since the start. No view of the front or back end. No view of the fender extensions, a common problem area on these cars. $4,000 is not exhorbitant, but it's not chump change, either. For that money, he should get it out into the sunshine and snap some decent photos. Maybe if he continues to not sell it, he'll do so.

    He also has virtually no description. I guess he thinks the car will sell itself. That doesn't appear to be working.

    His listing history is interesting.

    His first listing ended on September 27. It was an actual auction that had a $4,000 starting price, and he received no bids.

    His second listing ended on October 6. It was also an auction, and he lowered the starting bid to $3,000 with no reserve. He still received no bids.

    His third listing is linked below. It's not an auction, but simply a BIN at $4,000 with no "make offer." Why does he think that, if it didn't sell at $3,000, it will at $4,000?
