This will be interesting, will it meet the $58,260 that the buyer backed out of in September? The bid before that was $47,550 and do not think the met the reserve?

Bumper over-riders are upside down. No wonder it didn't get the big money. ;0)
Here is the thread from the earlier auction:

It would take two minutes to remove the plate from the top of the right front strut tower to see what’s underneath. Any responsible bidder should insist since that’s not the only issue that a new owner would likely have to deal with.

Couple things to keep in mind on this car. I know the Monte Rio area very well. Cars from there can have rust issues due to lot tall old growth redwoods and it can get very damp. But it doesn't sound like the current owner has had the car very long. They do say there are rust bubbles. Cool 007...

Seller has posted a few photos of the plate removed.
Who needs to buy camber plates when all you have to do is copy this brilliant homegrown solution!
well, not as bad as it could be from the rust perspective…but an inelegant solution to a camber problem…
Ya, Strut tower looks fine rust-wise.
However, this is appears tip of the iceberg:

RNM at 42k, which was my bid. Considering the extraneous fees and such upon close, even that is probably too high on this car. I think the reserve was probably 50. Which means actual paid price is 52.5. I'd pay my 6% sales tax in Florida rather than California's 7.25, and the car just isn't worth 55.5 to me... then there's the laundry list of small things to do...
Going to need some floor work and probably some rocker work. Budget minimum $10k for that.
Seats are funky, but ya, I'm sure $50k was the reserve.
Seems E9s w/issues are dropping in price. The cream of the crop ones still are getting $140k+.
