Bent Metal,
Here's a chance to make your fortune. These folk obviously realise the value of the Essex Boattail & hopefully will be prepared to pay well for your expertise!!

Haha, YES!

That's an amazing car. Built by, if I remember right, a restoration shop in Canada named "The Guilde". Or something like that? But wow, that's an over-the-top, super nice, rare and awesome car. I'll be interested to see what it sells for.
Great car. -
I know they needed a place to put the spare tire but it kinda ruins the whole "boat-tail" thing when viewed from the back doesn't it?
-
I am with you Bent, what a nice car. I guess if I had all the money in the world the price would seem ok? But, I would expect that this is another of Ebay's "Failed to reach reserve." With that said. I am so glad that they showed us the photo's....Brownie

Aaron, I agree about the spare tire. I think a fender well would have been better.
-
Performance cars do NOT have the weight of a spare tire, including its cast iron bracketry, added on to their front steering axle. Sporting performance cars need more traction and thus the spare is carried in the rear.
-
I checked my spare change - and I'm only $224,995 short. Anybody want to float me a non-returnable loan?? :woohoo:
-
i still think auburn had it right. regards, tom
-
stunning not quite as nice as the later 1s but would be truly proud to own it
we can all dream lol

Dealers place ads like this to let the entire automotive world (literally) know that a rare car is for sale. They don't expect to get the listed price. They are seeking offers. There is no less expensive method of car promotion than an ad on eBay. Think about it.
