Depending on what you’re looking for, eBay is a treasure trove of rare and unique items that people would bid exorbitant sums of money just so they could have the said item delivered to their doorstep. That, naturally, includes cars and eBay has some pretty rare ones in the offing.
The latest that we managed to discover is both rare and expensive, which really isn’t the kind of combination a fair-weather car fan is looking for. However, if you’re an enthusiast and you’ve got money to burn, this just may be that rare treasure you’ve been looking for. This particular car is a 1967 Porsche 910 Spyder coupe, one of only five 910 Spyders Porsche built for a number of European hillclimb competitions back in 1967. The car ended up winning two of the four races it entered in that year, which gave the company the idea to rebuild it and offer it for sale. Eventually, John von Neuman scooped one up and ended up racing it all over the U.S.
The Porsche coupe we are speaking of has an air-cooled, slide-valve fuel-injected flat-6 gasoline engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission. It has a beautiful white exterior paint job and a red-hot interior color. The 1967 Porsche 910 is currently on sale at eBay thanks to the Symbolic Motor Cars dealership in La Jolla, California. They are currently selling the vehicle for an astonishing $995,000.
