Own a Piece of History: Universal Studios Ecto-1

So whoever gets it, are they driving it in the parade at DragonCon next year? Hopes…

I just want to stare and drool.

Oh, most definitely. LOL! Damn, do I really wish I had the money to blow. It is things like this that make me wish I was rich and famous. :sigh:

I have thought of a few crazy ideas to raise $50K in a matter of a few days, but ultimately, unless I win the lottery, it wouldn’t be worth it.

I’m going to take a guess as to who you sent the link to.

Michael?

If so, he’s in this picture that I posted on the other USF thread.

man that car would be so awsome to own ,wish I had the money for that would get it in a heart beat. :cool:

One of the Techs at Universal wrote me a nice email today and I posted it to the auction. They are hoping she goes to a good home as well.

It’s really going viral, 15,000 hits and climbing and over 250 watchers. We set a record today at theecto1.com with 30 visitors at one time.

Exciting!

Paul

Now if only people would Digg it!

Better than DIGG! The car has shown up under the showbiz tab @ http://www.fark.com!

Plus this:

Cool, eh?

I noticed that the high bid has changed. Someone withdrew?

Yeah, I guess they weren’t serious about bidding.

Though, I have to admit, the price is low enough for me to try something crazy. :twisted:

Looks like it made it to IGN!

this is getting around!!!

EDIT: Sincere apologies! Was posting on FARK and GBFANS!

New link is accurate!

/NOT a rick roller

New link is ACCURATE!

■■■■■■■ Rick Rolls, they aren’t funny!

(Quick, we can turn this into early panto!)

Oooohhh yes they are!

Looks like the high bidder was a fake.

Yeah, some people just goofing around.

Paul

Utter wankers.

Suppose it’s better they pull out now then trying to pass you a rubber cheque after the auction ends.

I’ve contacted all the buyers and the potential buyers have contacted me before they have bid or are going to bid to let me know they are serious. So getting rid of the dead wood was probably a good move.

It made Jalopnik today, and for me personally that’s huge.

Paul

One more thing, Universal has contacted me about changes they want made to the auction.

It’s in the capable hands of my attorney, so if the auction disappears, I will re-list it with the changes.

Before you ask, they want Universal Studios in the title changed to Universal City Partners Ltd. or Universal Orlando Resort since that’s who the check was made out.

Never mind the fact that I have a copy of the original title which clearly states Universal Studios Florida, semantics, you have to love it!

Paul

You’d be surprised how much difference that could make in the world of transactions and contracts.
