With one hour to go last night, no bids had been received. I sent the owner an email yesterday telling him to contact me for an offer if he did not sell the vehicle at auction. No response so far but there are a number of items that need correcting on the car and that drives the price down further in my opinion.
It looks as someone bit during the last few minutes and it apparently went at $9500. I still think that is high due to the lack of power mirrors/controller, improper wheels, F car badging, rough interior, etc. Someone has a lot of work to do to make this car decent!

Hey Nelson,
I'm the someone that bit on Mera #8094.
Great transaction with seller. Cant say enough. Extra parts. lots of info. maybe a line on the original wheels - longshot there
Flew to Vicksburg & drove it 1,000 miles home - nothing but smooth running, fun, & smiles (a/c quit, surprised it worked to begin with - orifice tube plugged up)
M-E-R-A letters in ziplock bag found in passenger door pocket.
The Red repaint is awful! but, I knew that before bidding - The plan is to return it to the original dark grey metallic with Mera trim & no more Fcar badges. ( need some Mera badges if anyone still has extra for sale, prefer silver/black )
Vitaloni mirrors intact but rough shape. I will investigate more when I have time. 2-way Vitaloni controller & wiring intact. Barrel trim nut missing - Switch assembly fell into center console.
For wheels I'm leaning towards:

Any suggestions for custom sizing/offset/and stagger that you found perform the best with your small posse of Meras?
Best Regards,
Gerald

PM sent. BTW, this is what a Mera looks like with a dark gray/gunmetal paint job.
