There was a final bid of $18,600 but the reserve was $22,500, so no sale. That high bidder was offered an eBay "second chance" on the car for $20,000, but that bidder was no longer interested & did not make a counteroffer (that final bid of $18,600 was $100 over the previous bidder, so the actual amount of the last bid may have been more than the $18,600 but less than the $22,500 reserve). For some reason as a watcher of that auction I received an "auction ending soon" email that revealed the reserve, which I though was kind of strange.

I guess the seller saw what some cars have gone for and is holding out for a big pay day.

looked like a nice car. given the fact a dealer was selling it I am not surprised at the outcome.

It is a nice car, as I know having owned it before Bob who improved it in really great ways with the equipment. But....that Seller should have taken the money and run, but they were too greedy. I don't care what other recent high SSP sales have been, he would have done very well to jump on that high bid (if the upper bids weren't bogus, that is).

Quite the effort being made lately to ensure foxbodies realize higher prices than their actual worth.

I noticed the no partial bidder names in the listing. Is that how ePay listings are done now? Or was that a specific manner in which this individual seller placed this ad?

Partial name on a 'Regular" listing and no name on a "Private" listing. You have no idea who is bidding on any auctions on eBay anymore.

right...however...eBay still gives enough that you can see if it is the same bidder placing multiple small bids to run it up. It is also possible to identify certain SSP auction shill bidders that we have seen in the past.

either way.....the seller should have sold the car "if" the bids were legit. I doubt they were.
