I saw that bid rather quickley and thought "but it's not stock" I don't get
what makes some people go over the top on their bidding especially non stock

Two weeks earlier I saw a 67 VW Westy Camper like mine get 17K and it is not
stock it has a pimped look to it with a lowered chassis there was nothing
special about it.
I guess Pimped is in....yuck.
