Just who in the heck do you think would want to buy this...?

It's rare because it's not a Silver Streak, it's a "Sliver Streak!"

Gotta say it's strangely, mesmerizingly impressive in all it's awfulness.

LOL. Good catch

Not to be difficult, but...... Just how rare is it? If it's absolutely impossible to find in ANY condition it may be worth buying just to say you HAVE one.

Bragging rights are important to collectors regardless of the totally ruined condition.

Well, I have a good feeling that old sled is one of a kind!

I wonder if you baked it at 300 for 15 minutes it would come out a perfect 1/32 scale model.

After seeing this, I don't feel so bad about buying that warped '57 Chevy 4 door wagon promo a while back.



But I only gave $6 for this one.

"We have never seen any other of this model."

Apparently he didnt check ebay

In the right setting, it could look pretty cool. Like a high shelf in an old hot rod/hobby garage, surrounded by other cool antique stuff, dusty, oily, and all looking like it had been there forever.

No kidding. I once saw someone selling air guitars, and people were bidding on them! I dont know which is worse, the selling of them, or the morons actually bidding.

Air Guitars. LOL. I go by the name Lord Air Gtar in my mobile DJ business. Aside from the usual meaning, an air guitar can also be a prop guitar used at karaoke. I have several non functioning guitars for that purpose.

........As crazy as it sounds I actually have some use for the wheels,headlamps and hood n trunk trim for a promo I have with a decent restorable body.....jussssssssss don't know if I wanna pay that much for it.......

[Aaronw]

These were genuine air guitars. Nothing there.

My favorite was a jar of haunted pickles.

[Deano]

Ohmygosh ... someone bid on it!

My favorite was a jar of haunted pickles.

There was also once some selling tin cans with Lucas Wiring Smoke kit that was supposed to have smoke in them that you could fill up the Lucas electrical system on your old british car when the old smoke had gotten out.....

Back before eBay had user names, you could see everyone's email address. I bought a lot of 4 nasty old promos to get one I wanted for $20. I got lucky and nobody bid on them, probably due to lack of write up and poor photos. Turns out even the one I wanted was a bit nasty so I decided to resell them all.

I wrote nice descriptions and took good photos. I listed each of them in their own separate auction. What do you know? Each one sold for over $20! The guy who sold them to me saw that and sent me a nasty email that I ripped him off and he was turning me into eBay! For what? Being a capitalist? LOL

Nothing wrong with that old Pontiac promo. Someone took the time to list it instead of throwing it away. Someone is happy to buy it. Two happy people. End of story.

[Roadrunner]

Asylums are full of folks that would anxiously buy this, assuming they're allowed to have money.
