I wouldn't call 65k astronomically priced. That's around fair market price for a high restored version.

Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada		At that asking price I would expect the car to have the correct seat insert material. This one has 1957 Adventurer seat material. The '56 material is different than this! This photo shows the correct material!

65k would buy the car as it's the opening non reserved amount

I think it's just the angle and the lighting.

I am missing the logic this guy is using. He got ZERO NADA ZILCH KEIN bids on the first auction at $65K so he puts it back on at $85K? What the heck?

I have seen this tactic (?) several times over the years. Not sure if it has ever been successful.

I see the $85,000 is a BIN and he has the Make Offer button enabled. Maybe his plan is to have a buffer to accept a lower offer. That way someone could imagine they were getting a bargain?

It is a gorgeous car. Possibly the best 56 Adventurer I've ever seen.

I would love to own it, but it's way out of my range. Also, if it were mine, there's no way I could keep myself from driving it on every nice day.
