How would you feel being this bloke.
Selling an old car for $500 bucks and then finds out it's a rare race car from the 60's and is worth a fortune.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110306170567

Lucky he'll get what's it's worth.
Imagine selling it on the road for $500 (More likely $250 after being talked down) then finding out it's worth US $226,521.63 a week later.



some of the Q&A in the sale are cool too.

Q: Great find !! I hope you have the car under 24 hour guard with dogs and shotguns. This thing is so valuable I'm afraid someone might try to steal it. Good for you for letting the auction run to the end. I expect you'll hit a home run with this one. Congrats, John.

i remember seeing something on tv a while back about those super duty pontiac's, they're factory prepped drag cars, heavy duty suspension, and lightened up if i remember correctly. they dominated drag racing in the early 60's. that would be crazy to find out it was one of those, it looks like shit from the outside.

if i was the owner, i'd want to keep it and restore it after finding it wasnt an ordinary tempest. $226k is alot of money for a rust bucket, but well worth it with its history.
