Cool old car, even if it hadn't belonged to JB.
But if I had a spare 16 grand, I'd go to Hawaii for the winter, instead....

Looks like the auction has ended with a top bid of $17,800 - probably not even in the ballpark of what the seller would let it go for.
Hey... if this car shows up on e-bay again, maybe 365 of us BNers could pony up a hundred bucks each for a bid of $36,500 and if we win, we would each own the car for one day a year
Just a thought...

Great idea, but a day is too short! What if 52 of us each gave $500 for $26,000 then we could have it for a week. What a time-share concept!!! You could drive it on your Florida vacation... We could keep it at the destination, say Key West, and it would be the vacation wheels!Harbour Shark wrote:Looks like the auction has ended with a top bid of $17,800 - probably not even in the ballpark of what the seller would let it go for.

Re: Jimmy's Old Car on ebay
So I'm inline at a fast food joint grabbing a quick lunch today.
Guy behind me: "Is that a Margaritaville shirt you've got on?"
"Yep."
"I once sold a car to Jimmy Buffett."
"You have my attention."
Turns out the guy spent most of his life in the Mobile, AL - Pensacola corridor. He says in about 1988 or so, Jimmy came in to his dealership in Daphne, AL, and traded in a '64 Ford Falcon to get a Honda (Accord, I think he said) for his parents. We chatted for a bit, I told him If he's moved on to selling jets or yachts, Jimmy might still have his business card. I remembered this old thread, and all the information he had checked out, so I don't think he was pulling my leg.
Now I'm just two degrees of separation from being Jimmy's BFF.
