I saw this for sale last year, nice car! Wasn’t the asking price north of $70K?
It started at 72.5 then he lowered it to 54.5. It was talked about on Mc.net here:

No interior pictures… Fortunately this is a Hertz car so the rocker arm covers are correct. Too bad the air cleaner and snorkel are missing, but these are the same as a GT so not totally impossible to find. I believe that Bob Tufts, and also Zoli have duplicates of this car.
Nice car overall. Not to far from me, about an hour and a half. Out of my price range if the reserve is 52k again. I don’t believe I have seen another G in Saxon yellow.

Look’s to be a very nice car. Also missing it’s thermactor emissions stuff. That would also be a plus.
Looks like a nice G. The auction would do better with more/bigger pictures and a more detailed description. The interior looks nice from what I can see in the window lol… So who is the past G expert owner/restorer…Royce?
Must be cleaning house as his other 68 in the back ground is listed as well.
Yes, that G is a twin to mine. There are quite a few Saxony G’s out there. Funny thing about his listings… the G has zero pictures of the inside and his other car almost all the pictures are of the interior. Kind of odd!! Both are beautiful cars though. Interested to see how the G does.
Yes both cars are nice. It is strange about the pictures on both not showing off each car inside and out. I would love to have either one, but if I had to pick… the G wins.

Ok that is the first grande size Marti I have ever seen.
Welcome sportyworty! Glad to have you on board. I thought that Marti Report was really cool to. Is that something that Marti offers now?
I ordered a report just last week and did not see the grande size option listed. Likely a blow up from their local printer. Very cool though as it looks clear yet. Thank you for the welcome Bill, I have been lurking

Kerry, I took a look at the Marti site and did not see it offered. I don’t know who the owner of this G is, but I hope he won’t mind if I suggest to Kevin Marti that he should offer this. I would buy them.
My guess is that the owner had the super-sized Marti created from a scan of his deluxe report. Any sign-shop with digital sign printing capabilities can make one for you. I’m not sure if there would be any copyright issues. I’m guessing you could have one made for about $50 or maybe less. Just make sure they laminate the sign so it will be protected somewhat from the weather and do NOT have it mounted on foam-core material as it will not hold up and is very suseptible to humidy.
Good points Scott. On my part time job we have a sign shop. I would say alumacore or plasticore are the way to go. I used alumacore when I did the show sign for my Cougar. Alumacore has thin layers of aluminum sandwiching a layer of plastic. The total thickness I used was about 3/16" with semigloss black finish. Plasticore is all plastic with hallow ribs like cardboard. The finish has small waves from the inner ribs. All printed signs should come with a clear UV coating.

Even though this car never made reserve, I really thought it would have bid up more then 35.1K.
It probably did. The way eBay works, if the reserve is $1m and you bid $975,000 it will still only raise the bid one increment higher than the current bid. So with a $1m reserve, and a current price of $35k, if you bid $999,999 it’s still only going to raise the bid price to 35,500 or whatever the next increment is.
The only way we could know what the actual top bid was is if it was above the reserve. Otherwise, all we know is that the price it ended at is one bid increment higher than the second highest bid.
Thanks, I didn’t know that. I’ve only bought just a few things off ebay.
It’s a shame it works that way, for all we know the reserve was set at $75k and the top bid was actually $70k.
Or $50k reserve and $45k bid, maybe that’s more of a possibility.
You’re wrong, tmh.
If the reserve was met and the high bid was say 40k and the next to highest bid was 39,900, who’s to say that the winning bidder didn’t bid 50k. You would only know that he bid at least one increment higher than the second highest bidder.
The ONLY way to know what the highest bid was on a finished ebay auction is if the high bid was less than the proxy increment amount of the second highest bid.
