So what's the final bid here? Tough time of year to be buying a luxury item, but the stock market is at an all-time high.

The truth of the matter is he might just has well auctioned it off on Alpha Centauri. Very much an uninformed seller. Oh well, it'll be a good buy for someone.

There are some negative points in my view. While the fuel cell is new, I'd rather have a Kirkham tank. The Eagle GTII's are bad tires and have to be pretty old. I didn't think Goodyear makes GTII's in Cobra tire sizes any longer. The Toploader and OEM side-oiler are also negatives to me.

Otherwise it looks like a fine Cobra for someone. I'm assuming the seller has a reserve on it, but I'm not familiar enough with BaT. However, I do know other cars that have had success on the site.

A while the Guardsmen Blue and white stripes are far better than BEIGE, the color scheme is bit passe to me.

That's assuming that it sells - BAT doesn't disclose whether an auction is covered by a reserve price, or not...

Sometimes the sellers will let it slip in the comments that they have a reserve price set, but you never know for sure until the auction closes with either a "sold" , or closes with a "highest bid" quote (which means the reserve was not met).
