Started at a buck, which is how I like to see an auction. But with 40 bids, and now at $8800 USD ($11,733 CAD) methinks the buyer's reserve, which still has not been reached, may be a little greedy. Especially considering the engine would likely be a boat anchor being wide open like that.
A decade back I thought I was nuts for buying mine (reasonably complete ) for $7500 USD off ebay.

Definately MkII* there is also the start lever. Im with Rob in guessing the high bidder might feel a little dissapointed later. There's a lot of work to do on that carrier. I wonder how good the floor is?

Desperation in its worst.
I am amazed at the level of restoration that is possible when starting with next to nothing. Been there, done that, have the T shirt... As I have grown older, maybe a bit wiser, I begin to look at restoration work with a biased and jaded opinion. For the new enthusiast, a cheap buy at entry level gets you in the door. The many thousands of dollars later is what will kill you, or maybe wreck your domestic peace. I am a firm believer in purchasing the best quality goods that you can with your budget available and go from there. It is way to easy to fall into a money pit, considering what is available to those who have some patience and a cheque book...

Still only $8,800 USD and 40 bids. Somehow I was expecting more this morning but at least there's still room for someone to pick that baby up before the price gets ridiculous...

Bruce, I bet $10K wouldn't even come close...
Engine and transmission rebuilds $4-5K min Repro armour? Sandblasting and paint $2-3K min Bearings, seals, hardware, electrical items plus all the missing do-dads and things to make it right and make it complete. I was really surprised recently to see what the price of sandblasting is these days. There is a really nice and quite complete T16 on Ebay at the moment that is around $5700USD that has not hit reserve yet but is likely a much better starting point.
