A song comes to mind when I see that picture.



"well I'm a redneck woman, I ain't no high-class broad. I'm just a product of my raisin' I say 'Hey y'all and yee haw'. I keep my Christmas lights up on my front porch all year long and I know all the words to every Charlie Daniels song. So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country. Let me hear a big heck yeah from the redneck girls like me. Heck yeah!

"Git 'R done"!

I can't believe I just typed that!

Kevin

When did our cars become British? Got a good chuckle out of that; kind of nice when someone puts creative effort into an Ebay sale. But really, tea? C'mon, put something GERMAN in there!

And that is a nifty car ... I believe my grandfather had one very similar, according to my dad, although I never did see it. If that car were closer to me, I'd consider buying it as a future restoration project, if it stayed that cheap. Don't know what the reserve is, though ...

Good sir, I believe that should be spelled "Git 'R Done" ...

This proves that "cute" doesn't always work on Ebay. Two days left in the auction and not a single bid.

Ummm British spy movie....I've run across the "Stasi" comment before in reference to my 109's. I guess some people find the looks rather sinister.

Cute is about all that auction has going for it... Do you think people would be bidding like crazy if the description just said, "'66 250S, might run, rusty, interior destroyed, comes with free spare steering wheel."? I doubt it.

peace,

How do you know the girl in the picture is the seller? Looks like some junk yard owner paid for some local talent to help sell his cars. Hmmm, not a bad idea.

I like the 71 Lincoln, or the model. Can't decide.
