please, read the bidders making questions to the seller. They obviously bidded on purpose making the price to skyrocket. The winner is not going to pay for it, probably he created a fake account for the sake of spoiling the auction.

Neet car though, had no idea they were the fastest car in 63, i'll have to look into that, pretty interesting.
Looks like you don't know anything about ebay, or cars...!
Long ago ebay went to code names for bidders to prevent scams, so you're wrong about one guy bidding up his item. Ebay has their ways, it's impossibe to do that. What would be the point anyway, win your own car for a high price and have to pay ebay a commission on what it sells for..? No one would be that stupid.
The winning bidder, as were most bidders, were automotive compaines who knows what the car is worth. After restoration, it will be worth at least $500 k.
I know you hate to think someone could get that amount of money for something they found in a garage, but the story is for real, thge selling price is for real, deal with it...!

The final bidder is known in the Pontiac community. The bid was real.
