Yes, one of the most amazing eBay stories I ever followed. What a find, and what a lucky seller!

I had the honor of meeting the owner this past weekend at Meadowbrook, a super nice guy.

Another fantastic Scott Tiemann restoration. If all goes well, this car will be joining us for the MCACN II show in November.

Does that seem weird to anyone else? Any ideas regarding what he's talking about?

the car will be at Norwalk next weekend for the Ames tripower nationals.Hope to see it make a pass down the strip.Tom

[al8apex]

I looked through all the feedback, the buyer &amp; seller never left any .... ?

My guess is that the buyer wanted to stay anonymous ...

[tjs44]

the buyer is a great guy,he lives in NY,I sold him my 69 T/A a few years ago and called him on the lemans when I knew it was going to be more than I could afford.Tom

Shortly after the car sold on e-bay, the original aluminum front end was apparently located...Does anyone know if the new owner was able to re-unite the body with the original front end?

[John Brown]

The original aluminum doghouse location had been known for years. The story on

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=307326

says the price and condition were such that the new owner of the car felt it was more reasonable to have a whole new front clip fabricated rather than to mate the original front clip with the rest of the car.

saw the car in person today!Everything you would expect is there!Tiemann does spectatual work.Fergusons alu work is superb.John is taking the car home sun.Tom
