From the eBay auction wording...

"IF YOU LOOK IT UP IN THE REGISTRY YOU WILL FIND IT THE VIN NUMBER IS 124379N615842 AND THE BEST PART I HAVE LOCATED THE CAR AND THE CONTACT INFO WILL BE GIVEN TO THE WINNING BIDDER !! "

Methinks something is rotten in Denmark here. The seller claims to know where the original car is, claims to know the contact info for the car owner, and yet he chooses to sell the engine via an eBay auction??? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

I would guess for whatever reason the Seller and the car's current owner did not agree on the value of the engine hence it is now on Ebay. Don't see any problem with selling the engine on ebay as the car owner can bid if he chooses.

...Why did the last bid jump from $10,000 to $25,000 with no smaller amounts between?....
.....That must have been the reserve...I guess.....

The previous high bidder had his top limit set at 24,999.99 and with 2 seconds left the winner put a bid in for more than 25,000.00. Gotta love the last second bids. If you use 3rd party software it does it automatically, but I like to hold my wristwatch in my hand and hit the button at the last second. gets my adrenaline flowing- especially when the compute locks up!!!!
