29 hours to go, opening price $1,500, "Buy it Now!" price of $2,500, and NO bids.......... What do all of you know about this car that makes no one bid on it?

Based on personal experience there ain't anybody out there willing to take on a wooden car unless it was something goshawful unique. From the pictures the car appears to be relatively unaltered and would be a honey if it were structurally able to hold itself up.
IMHO better odds on the lottery.

I see someone did buy it for $1500.00. Anyone know who the purchaser was, or their plans for the car?

The "sunglasses" icon next to the buyer's user name indicates a new identity. Someone probably signed up with Ebay just to purchase this car (or didn't want to bid under a previous user name).

Best of luck - whoever you are!
