Default 40th Anniversary GT on ebay

Theres been a bit of talk about it in the "ebay madness thread" from post 163

But i thought this >CLICK HERE< deserved a thread of its own.

Ebay at its best, This guy obviously has no idea... :

Gee, these things might have a better investment potential than a Phase 3!
Not a bad profit for 1 month.
Don't reckon he'll have any takers!

It said in the listing it has 77,000kms on it.

Then he's been questioned on it, so he's had to update...

Here's the goodies... LOL

Quote:
On 06-Jun-07 at 12:55:54 AEST, seller added the following information:
72000 km on the clock, from the factory 33000 from ford to destination 30000 To the shops and back 72000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 06-Jun-07 at 12:58:31 AEST, seller added the following information:
Also comes with Authenticity Certificate, and Time bookings to take the car to the Ford Tracks, where you can see how really fast she can go....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 07-Jun-07 at 11:20:54 AEST, seller added the following information:
72 KM ON THE CLOCK NOT 72000

"A GTHO was a car manufactured in the early 70's.

If you have a close look at the bottom of the cover shoot of the mag you can just make out a phone number. 0438 902 155 - may be worth a phone call to book in and inspect the top investment

I think he bid on his own car or had a friend do it to try and dummy some fool into making a bid. Anyway, there was only 185 built not 200. The local dealer in Adelaide got 4 of them and someone bought 2. Apparently, one as a daily driver and the other into storage. Lucky him!
