E-bay Sprite "Cobra Clone"

Share this page

Well it has four wheels just like a Shelby Cobra. That must be it.
 
No no no, it's a typo; it's meant to read, "Cobra CLOWN Car". :highly_amused:
 
Well, I guess the seller got the last laugh...he got $12,950 for the car. I didn't realize Square Sprites were pulling those kinds of dollars these days.

Wow, the power of marketing! Can't believe he found a sucker. Makes me tempted to do some selling!

It says "Ended" not "Sold" ... I'm sure it'll be re-listed... I think it has run a couple times already.

LOL "Is it a REAL one or a clown? The stripes have me confused."

Even so...he found someone willing to bid far more than I thought it would be worth. Makes me feel good about what I have in mine. When I was a sprout I would redo a car and drive it till someone offered me more than I thought it was worth. Those were the days when I could make money and have enjoyable vehicles in the bargain. I had figured those days were gone except on very high end stuff....maybe not!

I could never part with my little cobra clone, no matter what the price... Some cars just have value that can't be measured in dollars and cents

I admit I didn't look at the e-bay post but from the conversation made an incorrect assumption! Assume means...... well you know.

Oops. My bad, folks. When I saw that the auction had ended, I thought that meant it was bought for the BIN price.
 
At least there's no mention of a Cobra in it. :rapture:
 
If you actually listen to the first minute or so, he does relate it to a Cobra since it has a roll bar and racing stripes. Whatever?
 
Also never heard of a Square Sprite referred to as a "Smiling Sprite". He is on point some of the time, but there are times where he is wildly out on never-never land.
