I was already on this last night mate, Have known of this 59 for a while and should of bought it in september 2013 at boneham auction, but didnt go to it as was told it had a huge reserve, when in fact it had no reserve , so was not happy when it sold back then,
Fred , please PM me a cost to collect this from near Bournmouth/Poole and deliver to norfolk mate, As i am adding up all the costs to purchase it from the seller today. So if you can let me know as soon as possible mate..
EDIT...
I checked Post Codes and it is 208 mile from where the Dodge is to my home Mate, I believe your house is on the route as well, So you could collect one afternoon and deliver the next day, what is easier and cheapest LOL..

I spoke in length with the seller and he gave me a True low down on everything about this Dodge, As i told him i knew of it since 2006, and missed the Auction in September 2013 when it sold for £8050.
I agreed to buy it on Monday and travel down Tuesday to view and pay for it, I called tuesday to say i was about to leave for the 210 mile trip and he said OK, then all of a sudden said Oh i may let the auction run for a few days, so reneged on the deal.
The 59 Dodge has numerous problems and he said it needed £4500-£5000 spending on it if he was to keep it. He had got it running but it was back firing and running rough, so he removed a Rocker Cover and saw a Bent Rod, He says he replaced the rod and it know runs OK, but he had only driven it 5 mile and wouldnt trust it for any journey, Also the paint is cracked on front front fenders due to Bondo, The upper paint has various Spider web marks in the paint, So needed a full repaint, The Interior was OK but was Tired.
His Description on Ebay said none of that though, So i hope the winning bidder goes to collect it, rather than pay for it blind and send a courier to collect it, as they may not be impressed, The Seller bought it from his mate, Who i believe bought it in september 2013 auction. but the guy paid with a Credit Card and couldnt afford to pay the Card, Hence he sold it to this seller , I believe for £8000, As we agreed a price of £8100 on the monday night when we spoke. I was going to bid up to £9000 for it , but as you see it finished on £11850.
Lets hope its not a oversea's buyer who has already paid for it Blind...
