[PJenkins]

Not mine...

With an opening bid of $25K??? Why in the world would you start it there?

I always thought the IROC's were 74's because of the G style bumpers but they were indeed 73's. I don't think that is a real IROC but a recreation.

At least a couple of reasons:

(1) "this car is a faithful recreation" - it's not the original car.

(2) They're just using eBay as an ad to make the folks who are going to be in Scottsdale attending the auctions that the car is for sale in the local area.

Back to #1... What are the differences between the terms clone, recreation, tribute and homage when applied to non-original cars? Back in the day they were all pretty much called clones. Is it just semantics?

I think the right word is Schemematics.

Silly me, I didn't even see the "faithful recreation" at the bottom of the ad!! That explains the opening bid price...

"(2) They're just using eBay as an ad to make the folks who are going to be in Scottsdale attending the auctions that the car is for sale in the local area."

That's my take also, John.
They certainly didn't give much of a description of the car they listed.
Engine? Suspension? etc.

I'd like the liquor concession at B-J next week.

You take the liquor concession for the buyers. I'll take the one for the sellers. Brave folks at no reserve.

i believe all iroc cars were 1974 chassis, all numbers began with 91146, indicating 1974, isn't that correct ?
