    Why Isn't This '68L Selling?

    I really like this so-called 'Vasek' car. I was surprised to see it pop up on eBay? It's been for sale for a while at around $25K. Is the Sporto holding it down?

    Isn't this the car Mr. Polak bought for his wife --who did not end up liking the car? Looks fairly nice-wonder if it the sporto.

    There is just no market for Sportomatics. There have been some other nice Sportos over the years that were a very tough sell.

    Good point Frank. I've been scared off because of the scarcity of replacement parts. Are the sportos heavy?

    Perhaps the question then is, will there EVER be a market for Sportos?

    I did pretty darn good on my Sporto!

    I tried to chase the buyer off with a big number but he kept coming back. I drove the piss out of it for 2 yrs. and doubled what I paid.

    I wish I still had it...

    Earl's old sporto could outdrag a certain now "untouchable" silver car...I saw it happen.
