    Mity Mav has one more day on ebay ( June 10th, 2016), and then maybe she will have a new home. I want to say thanks to all of you who have been supportive and so kind in your comments on my car build. Yeah, there was grief about the color ( Dave) , but yanno, I made the car the way I wanted it and Im proud of it. I try to respect everyone's opinions and learn from all of you. If you ever see the color in person, I think a lot of you would change your mind, but thats neither here nor there. The car build itself is amazing-- and I truly accomplished what I set out to do when I changed the front end and the rear. No leaf springs is the way to go. It's been fun getting to know some of you. I will soon be deleting my account and moving on.. good luck to all of you and maybe I'll catch ya at some car shows.

    I know that the price you end up selling it for will sting but we dont build these cars for profit, I have always admired it with the quality of the build there are not many out there that will match it. Make sure you tell the new owner about this website

    You're welcome!

    I see the car didn't meet the reserve, so are you keeping the car or are you going to relist it?

    Hi. The reserve was at 25,000.... It didnt get to that. Bidding only went to 20,100. We'll try again. We sent second chance offers to the bidders ans no response so im guessing they were just trying to find the reserve and werent really serious or they would have responded at least with a counter offer. Its all good. There is someone out there who will understand what all went into this build, and end up with an amazing car so we'll be patient.

    Yeah. It didnt reach the reserve of 25000. We'll keep trying. Im
    Not going to just give it away. I have receipts of 100,000 And there were even More hours of my time in the motor build, shifter moving, battery box moving,carpet and polishing. Someone someday will appreciate the work and know its worth way more than 25000. Oh well.

    We still have it. The reserve was 25000. Not sure what we'll do. Probably relist it at some point.
