Bullshit bidding again, thats what happens when Ebay spams all its users with the link to the Auction - the number of genuine bids would be low methinks.
Just saw this in the listing and they've already started cancelling bids because of it. My guess is they will cancel many more before its all over.

According to the Herald Sun today someone from Emerald in Queensland won the car for $187,600.
The person who started this thread is also from Emerald in QLD....Evan, are they any relation??
it should fit in really well with the 1000 other monaro's in town!! LMAO
like DVS said there is plenty of money out here with all the coal mines etc so i'd say a rich miner won it. i'll have to scope it out some more and get back to you guys, but at this stage i have no idea who would have won it!!
an update for anyone interested... the local paper printed a story on it today...
the winning bidder is named Darryl Mattingley (i think he owns a removalist business) and basically has his hand in everything and owns half the town (you know those kind of people... every town has 1 or 2 of them??) He says he is a ford fan but bought the monaro basically cause it was the last one and he could?? he has no plans to register it and is just going to preserve it in his garage along with his ford jeep, 2 ford XY GT's and a fire engine or 2?? (too much money!!! )
and get this.... the second highest bidder... also from Emerald :shock:
