I see that. Over $35k and the clock keeps resetting.  Good for you!  I told my wife about it and she asked why so much. I told her "remember Ford v Ferrari? Well, Flyin' Miata is  today's Shelby, IMO."

Damn! $40 large!

Love the comment by the high bigger, who jumped it $2000 with 1 minute to go:

"it's only money. I can make more."

yeah, not gonna bid against that attitude!

EDIT: not that I was going to bid anyway. Just sayin'.

We had at least 5 active bidders up to the end. Wow.

I am proud to note that every single Miata that has sold for 40k or more on BaT was built by us.

Robbie is the contest winner with a guess of $34,900. Robbie, send me an email at keith@flyinmiata.com and I'll ship you a Flyin' Miata t-shirt :)

Actually, looks like calteg put in an earlier estimate of $35k. So, shirts for both Robbie and calteg :)

I sent an email as well. Congrats on the sale!

Also, I'm sure the buyer got a bargain considering the hours of labor in that car... (Ask the buyer to make a thread with whatever they choose to use the car for?)

Also also, calteg clearly one this one. But if there happens to be a 2nd place t shirt, I'm not too proud to rock it. cheeky

The buyer has asked us to upgrade the cooling system in preparation for track work - but no hood vents if it can be avoided. It's not his first Miata :) Pokee will not be parked in a garage. 

He's already ordered the "POKEEE" custom plate for it.

Not surprising to me. FM is to modern Miata what Yenko was to 60's Chevrolets.

You have a real business opportunity in front of you to only grow on that reputation.

Can I start a FM NE, located in MI.  I'm home to Grattan and Gingerman, three hours from Detroit and Chicago.  I'm ready for a career change, who's with me?
