That's because it's against Ebay rules to make offers like that. You have to win the car by bidding just like anything else. There is a fee and a process to go through to list a car on Ebay, and if your offer wasn't sufficient to offset all the trouble it took to list it AND make a few bucks off of it (the seller is entitled to a profit, after all this is the USA) then you shouldn't be surprised that there was no response to your offer. Furthermore, the asking prices for these cars are subjective to their respective condition and just how badly somebody wants them as you are well aware.
I believe that a car that has been maintained like this one is worth the asking price. There aren't very many good ones around. You look at these good ones and you think 'boy I'd like to have that' but you think you ought to be able to steal it from whoever is selling it. That's not right. It took a lot of TLC to keep that car in that kind of shape, so if you want one like that be prepared to pay for it.
