JUNKER ON EBAY GOES FOR $200,000+ _ An eBay auction for this 1963 Pontiac LeMans Tempest started out innocently enough. It read, "Obtained after owner died. Appears to have original interior but no motor, no transmission. Body has a little rust and some dents. There's stuff in the trunk, but no key to open it." The opening bid ten days ago was a mere $500. After one week, eBay seller 123ecklin will pocket $226,521 before auction fees. What happened between Day 1 and Day 10 is an amazing story. What the owner didn't know is that the car is one of only six 1963 Pontiac LeMans Tempest Super Duty coupes ever made. Hemmings Motor News recently did a story on the rare cars in which they listed all ever built.
... With only seven minutes remaining, the highest offer was $95,000. When the virtual gavel fell, eBayer ccsi2000 had bought a very rare, if a little rusty, LeMans for $226,521.
