In the last photo it looks like there is a Lincoln sitting on the roof. Did this cause any dents? My G-pa had a car like this except is was from 1973 and was a green Dodge Fury with a 383 hemi/4-speed car. There is a guy in Florida with a lot of old cars that sells them. Are you him? Does the radio have an AUX input? I was in Florida in Oct. 2014 and I would have looked at your car then if it was for sale.
LOL, who here is responsible for this question? Brilliant!

Somebody here beat you to it.
Just need to figure out who's ebay alter-ego backup account is bigmopars.
Maybe Stan's alter-ego posted it as a preemptive strike.
May all your memoriez remain long and strong of the Newport Pal. The only solace we have is the realization in knowing when it'z time to move on and why, Jer

No. It wasn't me. But I'm rounding up all the usual suspects.
Besides, there are misspellings in the question. lol

Wasn't me, my eBay handle is the same as FCBO. As for seller regrets, I've had a few, but recently when I make up my mind to get rid of something it becomes dead to me no matter how much I loved it previously. It's the only way to let go.

Looks like a bid retraction/cancellation. Fishing for the reserve or unwanted bidder?

Exactly. Was fishing for reserve then withdrew bid. Scumbag....

I'd block the SOB from ever bidding on my auctions again. You can also get their information (name, address, etc) from ebay to see if it's someone you've had problems with before."That wasn't me. Must have been my kid"
I think you're in a pretty good place right now with 3 days to go, Stan. The reason the low bid/reserve approach works well is that it gets the bidding started. Folks who want a cheap deal and think they'll get it for a song start bidding. Then before long someone else jumps in, and when it gets to where it is now, the mentality changes a bit. Suddenly the 'cheap deal' thoughts are gone in favor of someone looking at it and thinking....that's a lot of car for $3500. In fact, for $3500, that's a steal.
Might not be a lot of activity over the next couple days but I'd bet it will get busy toward the end. Especially when the reserve disappears, and the bidders know it's going to sell. No point in waiting for it to be relisted for less then, damned well better bid now.
Currently 9 bidders, $3805 and 27 bids... I think you're going to have some last minute activity/sniping attempts... Still too F-ing cheap... I'm just hoping the next guy isn't an A-hole with her... she's fine as is, doesn't need wheels, scoops or bags... just a little love and a dry place to sleep.

My only problem with the whole ad is the false advertising on one line...
"5. Auction is no reserve and will run to its conclusion. Do not make offers. "
3805.00, "reserve not met"

Already explained. The ad was changed just before a bid. eBay does not allow changes to the ad after bidding begins, so he did not have the ability to change the description.

There is the ability to add to the ad, much like when a question is answered.

I have zero doubts that Friday at 4:24 pm there will be last minute button clicking and a sale being made. I can't see who the bidders are, but I'd wager a dollar there is some overseas action in this auction.
FYI- I sent 2 RV's out of the Port of Jacksonville, the Port Authorities charge $ per person for a TWIC temp card, I can't remember exactly but it was around $100 per.
