I just noticed the Saab rally car was pulled from eBay with one day remaining, what happened? Did a buyer step forward?

Yep. I believe so. I'd like to see if this goes through. If it doesn't, I'll relist.

Psst - if it doesn't sell, I happen to know that if you paint it up like Stig Blomquist's Swedish Rally-winning 99 you're going to get Ottawa all hot and bothered

It's true, the $1K drop in the eBay price was enough for me to cover the black repaint. Since Keith has blabbed to the whole world about my secret crush on Stig+Saab+Rally I'll admit it; brown might be authentic but black would let me pretend its 1977 in Sweden after every snowfall.

Deposit is in the mail, car goes away in a few weeks. Bittersweet.

Can you share the final price? Understand if not.

The Golf will be rallycrossed/autocrossed/tracked. I haven't really formulated a total plan yet. Some rust repair, lots of suspension work...and then there's the engine bay....
