WOW! I wonder why they put it on EBAY. You would think that one of those premier car auction sites might get a more affluent customer

But I see it is already bid up over $240,000!!............so I guess that showed me!

Lets see, if I sell my house and ask Obama for a TARP loan.....maybe.......

IT's UP TO A HALF MILLION AND THE RESERVE IS STILL NOT MET !

Well, if the seller is looking for anything over $700k he/she will have to upgrade that radio to something sweet like this one

A MODERN RADIO WOULD HURT THE VALUE OF THAT CAR

ESPECIALLY IF THEY DISFIGURED THE DASH TO MAKE IT FIT .

Funny Ggruff...looks similar, or at least some of the bakelite or whatever knobs do...what is that dash from? Earlier B'varian car or something else? Dave V. in NC

It's from another 507 that went up for sale a few months ago. The modern stereo struck me as a TERRIBLE idea at the time. Then I got to thinking that 50 years from now someone will look at what I've done to my 76 2002 and think, "What the hell was that jackass doing? And who would put a sticker for BluntTech, the multi-trillion-dollar global hair products franchise on the window?"

That's a lot of rolls of quarters...Dave V. in NC

I'm telling you, it's that crappy stereo. You just can't go asking for $700k+ if the stereo won't rock out.
